Chapter Fourteen

By the time they returned it was almost the lunch hour, and while Sabrina went straight to the kitchen, Luciana went to check on her father.

“How’s work?” she asked, jumping into Jarcor’s lap.

“A bit slow, but it will get there,” he said, with a heavy sigh, wrapping his arms around her tiny waist.

He hadn’t done much hacking in the past years, and a lot of things had changed. It was a bigger challenge, but he was sure he would be able to crack all the firewalls the government had installed.

Luciana stared at the screen for a few minutes, intensely. “You’ll never be able to crack that firewall like that,” she warned him.

Puzzled, he looked at her. “What do you mean?”

She glanced at him, indicating the keyboard. “May I?” she asked, with a naughty grin.

More intrigued than ever, he nodded. Luciana smiled pleased, and before he was able to utter another word, she was punching the keys at an amazing speed, introducing code after code, cracking all the firewalls and making sure her entry was undetected.

“See, they think they have an impregnable system, but it’s actually quite easy to crack it when you know what to attack,” she explained to an astounded Jarcor. “Look here, they shielded this firewall with everything they have but forgot to hide the door in.”

A few minutes later, working together, they had managed to make a safe path to the main files of all cyborgs on the planet.

“How do you know all this?” he asked his daughter, still amazed with all her knowledge.

She shrugged. “I always knew how. My mind is filled with information, much of it I don’t even know what it is or how to use it,” she explained. “I used this a year ago when I was playing at the communication center back at the ranch. Marcus was trying to shield a communication route and didn’t seem able to,” she continued. “I watched him work for a few minutes, and while I was doing it, the answers simply popped up in my mind. I tried to tell him, but he didn’t believe me.”

“What did you do?” he asked, sure she hadn’t ignored the situation.

“I waited for him to leave the room and made the necessary changes to the route,” she replied, with a naughty grin. “I never told Marcus I had done it, so he took the credit for it,” she added. “After that, I went to the room whenever I could, especially at night, when there was no one there and had a lot of fun hacking into all the systems I could think of.”

“You’re amazing,” he said, kissing the top of her head.

“Of course, I am. I’m a cyborg,” she said, proud.

Sabrina called them, and they joined her in the kitchen. She had prepared roasted chicken with vegetables and rice, and once more, they ate together, as a family.

She knew it was just a fantasy, but she would enjoy it as much as she could. She would worry about the future when it became the present.
