CHAPTER 12

“Oh, this isn’t good,” Javier whispered.

Mack froze at the bottom of the stairs. They needed to know what Paul was hiding from them. If Javier and Jaimie couldn’t figure out how to open the laptop and hopefully clear Paul’s name—well, he couldn’t have a spy on their team risking the others.

“I’ve never seen anything like this,” Javier admitted.

“Fortunately for us, I have,” Jaimie said.

Mack stood for several minutes drinking in the sight of Jaimie absorbed in her work. This was one of those times he loved the most. The complete concentration and focus, the absolute joy of discovery when she found what she was looking for. She made love to him like that. Wholly focused on him. Every magnificent brain cell, every nerve ending, every particle of her being, was given to him. All of her. Body, mind, soul, and heart. He could see that in her work. Jaimie was an all-or-nothing person. And her work, like her love, was her all.

She enjoyed the journey. The harder the challenge, the more she enjoyed the fight along the way. That, she said, was as good or better than the actual discovery. Unfortunately, she didn’t always care about how long it took to get her information. And he needed it immediately.

He came up behind her silently, very aware of her head so close to Javier’s. She had great affection for Javier, and he shared her love of computers and code. The two of them could spend days or weeks talking a language that gave Mack a headache, but he didn’t care, he loved to see her excited and happy.

“Here you go, honey. One iced coffee with whipped cream.” He put it on the desk a distance from where she was working but within reach. He dropped a kiss on the top of her head. “I hope you have good news for me. And here’s your hot coffee, Javier. Plenty of sugar. Kane said to tell you real men don’t use sugar in their coffee.”

Javier snorted. “He doesn’t know how to stay up all night.”

“Are you getting anywhere? Paul seems to think you’ll have a bit of a problem. I told him he was crazy and you’d have this thing spilling secrets to you.” He gave her a hopeful smile. “I was telling the truth, wasn’t I?”

“We blew past the operating system password,” Javier said. “It wasn’t that hard. Virtually all laptops made in the last few years contain Firewire ports.”

Mack scowled at him. “I’ll take back the coffee if you don’t speak English.”

Javier shrugged and grinned. “One of those ‘holes’ you can plug cables into along one of the sides of the laptop. If the Firewire port is enabled, and the laptop is using the Windows operating system, you can break into the laptop via the Firewire port.”

“So we just needed to connect another computer—running a Linux operating system instead of Windows—to the enabled Firewire port on the laptop,” Jaimie explained. “The machine is then tricked into allowing the connected computer to have read and write access to its memory.
