Chapter 4

Andrew watched Clay working on the map while Andree was talking with Alex over phone. Alex was a computer genius.They both were interested in computer so it brought them closer & he was a like a brother to Andrew.But sadly he moved to japan from here almost 2 years ago in order to create his future & career both.

One thing i need to know you that The CEO of Alpha is his friend.

Anyway whenever andrew needed to know anything related to computer He just called him straight away.

" So you don't know anything about a technology that could destroy a computer from a distant place without changing something inside of it? Something like a remote control? " Andrew asked being little bit frustrated.

"No Andrew I haven't heard about any device like that. I know if you want to sabotage a computer you need to write a program."Alex said.

" Something like creating a virus?" Andrew said

" yes it is. Just click the link and boom! Computer get busted. So did they find any link from any source? I can trace them" he said

" No, here is the problem." Andrew said scratching the back of my head." 5 people said that they had found there pc damaged even though they were not using their computer .Like a guy said he left town for 2 days & when he came back he heard about the sabotage. So he checked his own computer & found out that it was damaged too." Andrew laughed bitterly.

Andrew was just telling him what clay had told him.

" well that's a wonder " Andrew could sense the Slight amusement in his voice.

"I need to gather information.if i get to know anything I would let you you know. And be careful.This is not an ordinary case i guess."

" i will.take care of yourself too" then Andrew hung up.

Andrew pulled out his red notebook from the drawer of his desk.He wrote down the name of the first suspect of this case.

Mr.milford

He had really strong motive.

Andrew started to pacing back & forth in his room.

19 computers had been sabotaged so far.surprisingly all of the owners of these computers has something in common.They all are some kind of computer operators or mechanics. They fix computer.

Why a bunch of people would target them?

They're all middle classed man so money isn't definitely their thing. Maybe they aren't the target at all.

I need to gather more information.

"Hey,Andrew come here quickly buddy!" Andrew was snapped out of trance by Clay's excited voice.Then he quickly got out from his room and settled down to a chair next to clay.

"Yo! What's up ... " then he closed his mouth seeing the look on Clay's face,excitement was written all over his face.

" look this pins are shaping up as circle " he pointed to the map.Andrew couldn't figure out what he was saying.So He looked up to the map & it made sense. Clay attached the map with a nail on a wooden board. Then he used some board pins to indicate the place where sabotage occurred.

So the board clips created a unfinished circle. Strange.

"So what do you think?" Clay asked pinching the bridge of his nose.

"I think they are maintaining some sort of numeric order?" Andrew said being totally confused " i really don't know actually."

" I think they're just sort of maniac! Nuh fully maniac " Clay whisper-yelled.

"Andrew,Clay come downstairs for dinner right now" Aunt Marie was yelling. Andrew didn't know if there was anyone who was as punctual as aunt Marie.

" shit ! We are late.. She is going to kill us! " Andrew pulled Clay by arm taking his phone from the nightstand.

"Aunt Marie we are coming " Clay replied almost yelling.

****

" Aunt Marie you are the best cook of America " Clay was praising my aunt while stuffing food in his mouth.I noticed from the corner of my eye that aunt was piling food on his plate.

Clay looked at my direction helplessly.

I gave him a cheesy grin & mouthed him to " keep her busy". Thank God Clay was smart enough to take his signal. And he was also concerned about what i was doing under the table.

Aunt Marie would have scolded the life out of them if she found out that Andrew was texting under the dining table while having dinner. She was a strict woman.

But Andrew needed to text Alex before it was too late because one thing he knew about him that if he stuck himself on a project he was going to reply him after years. Okay I'm exaggerating. At least he would take 3 or 2 days. But Andrew didn't want be that late.

To

Alex: Can u set up a meeting with jacob smith the CEO of alpha?We need to talk with him & I know that you are friend with him

From

Alex: Okay I'll try. But what am i gonna tell him?

" eat well ..don't be like Drew. I swear he is going to die soon " Aunt Marie was complaining about him but he didn't reply .She literally had an idea that if he ate less just for one night he was  going to die.

" Andrew is too stupid to understand what he is missing.. Your cooking! Don't worry aunt Marie he will get it into his numskull head one day" Andrew

rolled my eyes at clay's statement

To

Alex: just tell him the truth that we r investigating the case.

From

Alex: okay dude.

Mr.jacob was a really busy guy. He wouldn't waste his time on some kid who wanted to write article about him on school magazine. So Andrew decided to tell him the truth.

Andrew put his phone down as soon as he had noticed Aunt Marie was coming towards his direction.

" Aunt you look beautiful & foods are delicious " Andrew stated.she was incredibly a beautiful woman .She was a great cook too.But this time he was just pampering her out of fear.

" I'm not buying it. You aren't eating anything " then she started piling up food on my plate.

After finishing dinner Andrew told clay to check up on Sandra & Tony. They shouldn't get themselves drunk, Andrew needed them tomorrow.

And he decided to help his aunt doing the dish . Also he wanted to give her little more time as his uncle had flown to boston for a business trip.

Then he came back to hus room & Clay was literally dozing off. He told him to go to sleep .Clay happily accepted his proposal.

Then Andrew went to his study room & locked himself  there. He needed to see through that map deeply. Clay was undoubtedly a

smart one. Besides indicating the places he didn't forget to write down the name of the shop & time in small letter.

His brain ransacked at least for 30 minutes to find any kind of connection between this area.It had to have any kinda connection. Andrew was going to rip his hair out. But his *** was stubborn enough to glue him up with the chair.

Then He suddenly jumped out like a madman & grabbed a pen .

" I'm so dumb.. Maybe I'm getting older, I should have seen it long ago " He groaned in frustration.He took a page & folded it in the middle. And started writing. After He finished It was like this :

...

...

He took a long breath . Finally he found a connection & it was a strong clue .

He felt that his sleep deprived body was crying for sleep. He yawned & decided to call it a night.

He plopped onto his bed & let slumber take him over.
