With the two of them working, they did manage to get all of the key cards done in one sitting. They worked faster than either of them would have on their own, each instilling in the other a competitive reaction that wasn’t altogether unfriendly.

“Well, um…thanks. That went fast,” Troy said as they finished the last one. “Uh, do you want to hold on to these?” Troy added.

“No. You take ’em. This was supposed to be your thing, so you get to be responsible for making sure they get to Melody.” Destin’s voice sounded almost accusing, but Troy had the feeling that she was making her own gesture of goodwill.

Troy collected them all and put them in the protective case he’d brought along just for this purpose. Destin walked over to the shelves that lined the wall on one side of the room. The shelves held an assortment of items, all neatly arranged, along with some containers. Troy realized that this shelving unit took the place of closet, as there was none in the room. These were Destin’s personal items.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Troy shifted in his seat so that he was turned a little away from Destin, allowing her to discreetly remove the computer from whatever location she had it hidden. Troy did what he had felt uncomfortable doing before; he had a look around at the rest of what could be seen of the place Destin called home. It was small. It could use a number of repairs. But it was clean and organized. There was no clutter, in spite of the lack of space to store anything. It was then that Troy understood that there was likely little that the father and daughter had need of storing.

He felt the weight of Destin’s life as she sat down next to him. Composing his features, he turned back towards her to give her his attention as she opened the computer and turned it on.

Destin logged in and checked to ensure all encryption and discovery protections were on and functioning before continuing. When that was complete, she turned her focus back to Troy.

“Okay, I’ve been working on this for months now. It’s taken a lot of work to crack their security systems while also remaining undetected. I need you to pay attention and do only as I say. Do not try any other stunts because you think you know better than me how to do this. Trust me. You don’t. And I’ve likely already at least considered any method you could suggest. As long as I have your word on this, we can continue.”

“Uh…um, yes. Of course,” Troy responded, a little taken aback. “I trust your methods. After what I saw today with the key cards, I don’t question your skills.”

“I need your word.”

“You’ve got it. I will only do as you say.”

“Good. Let’s get started then.”

Troy was nervous about what they were about to do, afraid that somehow her methods would not work this time. It wasn’t that he didn’t really trust her skills even though he said he had.
