Chapter 4 - Returning the favor 2

Although there were people with their workstations with their computers, there was a huge LED-TV screen made up of at least 50 monitors to display whatever information they dug up. This made it easy for anyone supervising on their work.

"Sir, they are all ready for you", George pushed up his round eye glasses up the bridge of his nose.

"Hack into the CCTV of Star hotel and search for footage from around four pm till today around 12." 

"On it", two people answered in unison. 

"I need someone to dig up on information as to who booked the suite room 306. Dig up every dirt on them and everyone related to them."

"On it!" someone else shouted.

Uneasiness settled on Xavier's face. Something must have happened to his brother to cause his absence from morning till present. He had no clue what but he knew that it was terrible. As curious as he was, he could only wait until his brother told him. The room echoed with the sound of furious typing.

Zach's eyes roamed on the screen and he spotted a familiar face walking in the proximity. "Zoom in on camera 6A."

"Yes sir", someone answered and soon the footage filled the screen. His hand fell on the leather chair before him. Something unpleasant twisted in his heart upon recognizing the face. Something caught his attention. Someone was carrying her bridal style and she seemed to be unconscious. 

The person talked to the receptionist before he was given keys to a room. His grip on the leather chair tightened almost causing his knuckles to turn white. The audacity! He never doubted her innocence but what made him angry was their audacity to abduct an innocent woman for their selfish gain.

"I want information on that man carrying the woman! Everything!" he growled.

"On it!" someone answered. Soon as the information was found, it was printed out to be given to his secretary who would then hand it to him. However, he had no time to read through the information as his eyes were focused on the screen. Something else caught his attention. The time stamp was one from this morning.

"Zoom in on camera 6B."

The previous footage was taken down and the new one filled up the screen. His heart seemed to skip a beat when he saw her. He was not wrong, she was very beautiful. He could vividly remember her clear blue eyes, perk nose and full plump pink lips. He needed to find her.

She was careful as she walked around. She picked up a hat that rested on one carriage cart and threw it on her head. It seemed to match with her outfit. Her outfit; his black shirt was thrown on top of the pick satin robe while the sleeves were rolled up to her elbows. The black hat matched her black boots.

"Sexy", he muttered under his breath while he took in her outfit. Xavier's jaw almost dropped to the floor upon hearing his brother's comment. He was about to say something when Zach barked another order.

"I want all the information on her."

"Yes sir."

By this time, the figure belonging to Amy had disappeared out of the hotel's doors. "Uh, sir. The only information found is her name, age and the university she graduated from. I'm locked out of any other information. This is all we are allowed access to."

Zach's brows furrowed as he read mentally at the information displayed on the screen. Amy Harper, age 23 and graduated from NYU. 

"You really can't find anything else?" his tone indicated displeasure. 

"Sir, I really-" his sentence was suddenly interrupted by beeping sounds from the computers. A warning sign flashed on their screens. People typed furiously and yet the beeping sound continued while the sign stubbornly stuck out like a sore thumb.

"What's going on?" George asked before everyone else.

"I'm failing to access my computer!" someone shouted.

"I'm trying everything but my computer won't respond!" someone else shouted.

Chaos fell upon the security room. Suddenly the screen seemed to freeze. "We're being hacked!" someone shouted whilst still typing.

"Block them out!" George shouted. However, in a few seconds, the screen went dark. It was as though someone forcefully shut down the computers.

"What happened?" Xavier and Zach asked at the same time. Before anyone could answer, a string of letters appeared on the screen as though someone was typing directly.

ZACHERY,

THIS IS MY WAY TO REPAY YOU. 

Zach was puzzled from the sudden message. He knew upon reading his full name, it felt oddly familiar but he could not put his finger on who it could be. No one dared to address him with his full name because he did not exactly like it. However, whoever this person was-

DEAL WITH THIS AS YOU SEE FIT.

I'LL KEEP MY PROMISE.

P.S. SORRY ABOUT YOUR SHIRT.

If he had any questions as to who it was, the last two sentences confirmed it for him. There was an inexplicable feeling towards the familiarity. He looked back up to read his full name and a memory of how she called out his name flashed.

At this point, his heart danced in excitement wondering how she wanted to repay him. The corners of his lips turned up in amusement while the previous anger dissipated. The screen went black again as the words disappeared.
