Pixels And Pistols (HBC) ∆2. A Not so Ordinary Night

Chapter 2: A Not so Ordinary Night

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

The fact that I'm the country's best hacker still remains solid. You can't replace me, so let's get this started shall we?

All the board members grumbled but couldn't really disagree as Alpha was an invaluable resource after all. They proceed with the meeting

Head <Mr. Walker>

*Ahem* Well. Here's the thing. Country Y's defenses have improved lately and there's movement within their internal structures.

Head <Mr. Walker>

And for that very reason, it is important that we look into their databases. They must have obtained some information. We need to---

Official

*interjects* --Find out what that is. For that very reason, we've called you. Long story short, We need you to hack into their databases and get us what they've found

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

*contemplating, frowns slightly* Are you sure though sir?

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

Country X has been our friend for decades. And their encryption is also very strong. If they even find out about my attack to get into their systems, it could risk our friendship and--

Official

*interrupts again* We know the consequences better than you young man. We just want you to do your job, don't worry about the rest. You'll get paid well, and you won't be in risk

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

*annoyed* *thinks* This guy only knows how to annoy and interrupt others, doesn't he? ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

*sighs* Very well. Whatever you say Sir. I'll get on with the work. It'll take me some time, but I'll be back with the results as fast as I can.

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

*gets up and walks away, banging the door hard as he leaves the room*

The officials looked at the head in doubt, unsure of Alpha's capability as his behaviour had made them doubt his professionalism

Head <Mr. Walker>

*sensing their worries, he looks at them with confidence and says* Don't worry Everyone. Alpha is the best in the country, perhaps even the world. He's the best man for this job. Have faith in him

Alpha mumbled curses under his breath while heading towards his cubicle

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

=⁠_⁠= damn these old men, why do they think they are so entitled?

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

*opens the door* ah well nevermind them. Cursing them will only take up extra braincells. They don't deserve that

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

*takes in a deep breath* ah… Much comfortable. Computer screens are so much more pleasing to see than people

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

*sits down, stretches a little and begins his work*

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

Hmmm this could get a little tricky....

Alpha continues to hack into Country Y's primary defenses. Time passes by, but he was so absorbed into breaking through their defense that he didn't realize it

Minutes turned into seconds, and soon the morning turned into afternoon and night

Alpha was too engrossed until he heard a sound.......

*growl*

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

Huh? What was that??

*growllllll*

Alpha looks around trying to find out the source of the growl, until he realizes it was his stomach that was growling.

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

(⁠─⁠.⁠─⁠|⁠|⁠）

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

I really need to eat food I guess

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

*he looks at his screen, and sighs* Well, I am getting closer. I'll eat something and continue. I should be able to make an initial breakthrough before tonight, I'll run another set of code and eat till they execute

He gets up and heads over to the cafeteria to get some food

Unknown to him, his screen starts flickering

Somewhere far away, two people are having a conversation

？？？

Alright. We've hacked into his system, my queen

？？？

*chuckles* Well done, I knew you could do it

？？？

Hmmm.... From his activity, it seems like he's been struggling to hack into Country Y's database

？？？

Oh? Interesting~~~

？？？

Well dear, lend him a hand will you?

？？？

(⁠ー⁠_⁠ー⁠゛⁠) *thoughts* *oh all the things I need to do under the disguise of your orders*

？？？

Very well, On it

？？？

*starts hacking into Country Y's database, breaks into their information logs. Immediately begins to transfer the access to Alpha, so that it seems like Alpha is the one who has hacked into the database*

？？？

*chuckles* my little pup will be happy with my gift, won't he?

Alpha returns after having a meal, only to be surprised that he hacked into country Y's database

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

*rushes towards the table* Yes!!!!! That last algorithm did work!!!! Yoohoooo!!!

Alpha starts transferring the data to a hard disk so that he can present it later to the officials

Alpha ⟨Alvin Jones⟩

*yawns* well, today was a success. I better head off home.

？？？

He's finished transferring the data, my queen

？？？

Very well, send him a message from my side will you? *bends down and whispers it into his ears*
