Chapter twelve

Nora

Istare at the monitor screen, lines of code scrolling past in a blur. In an attempt to make sense of the jumble of information before me, I pick up a pen hoping to scribble down my thoughts.

The kiss keeps replaying in my mind, and I suppress a frustrated groan. That's the second kiss, Nora. That's not good, but what's worse is that I want a third.

I run the codes again, taking a sip of my tea, which is now lukewarm. My fingers fly across the keyboard as I zoom into the location indicated by the blinking cursor. California. What could they be hiding there? But as the map fills the screen, my heart sinks at the sight of the weather forecast displayed in the corner.

“The weather is not looking friendly,” I murmur, my voice barely above a whisper. “There's a storm brewing.”

Emma mutters some incoherent words in agreement without looking up. I hold back an eye roll. She gets so into the work that she doesn’t even listen.

I'll have to keep my emotions in check, and I focus solely on the mission at hand. But ever since that second kiss, I find myself struggling to maintain that pledge. We're supposed to be working on a mission! Maybe he's forgotten that he might be charged in court if we don't know who leaked the information, but here he is acting like anything at all matters besides clearing his name.

I'm just as guilty as he is, though. Every time I look at him, I feel something stir deep within me.

I'll need to have a word with him about this.

I look at the screen for a few minutes, but I'm unable to draw a conclusion. I should call Sarah, maybe she'll have some advice that'll keep me grounded or, better still, a way to solve the communication issues. I grab my phone, and her warm and energetic voice cheers me up after the third ring.

“Hey, girl, what's up?” Her liveliness eases some of my frustration. I'm glad I called her.

“Sarah, we have an issue, and I was wondering if you'd have any idea how to solve it.”

“What's that?” She’s invested instantly. “Is it about the wedding you threw together and then refused to text me back about?”

I grimace. “No. It’s actually work and it’s important.”

She sighs heavily. “Fine. Go.”

“If there were to be a breach in the system, so subtle it's almost undetectable, how do I handle it? The only evidence I have is that our communication was intercepted, and they were able to listen to our conversations.”

“Hmmm... let me think, we've encountered something similar before. They hacked into our system, they listened in, and left like they never came.”

“Exactly how it has been here,” I say with relief. I’m glad we’re not the only ones encountering this issue.

“But no matter how stealthy they are, there are always loopholes somewhere. Run through everything you can find and keep your eyes open for any further breaches. They know you'll come for them, so they'll always try to listen in on your plans.
