This isn't right. I thought as I stared at my computer screen. This couldn't be happening. All of the government's computers were given the very best software. Nobody should be able to hack into our systems.
I took a deep breath to calm myself before walking over to my boss's office. Even though the door was open, I knocked lightly to get his attention.
"Sir? There's been a breech. We've been hacked."
"What?" he said, jumping out of his char & following me down to my computer station. "How is that possible? What are they looking for?"
"I don't know sir." said they guy who worked next to me. "But, luckily for us, we can track their signal back to where it's coming from."
"Well, where are they?"
"They're in our country." he answered. "Just outside of Paris…at a…junior high school?"
Jim's POV:
Long weekends were the greatest.
It wasn't just a vacation for the kids, you know. The teachers also get a break, especially when it's a very nice long weekend & most of the students were visiting their families…
I had decided to go into town & get some stuff for the weekend…Maybe I'd rent a DVD or something…
I unlocked the door, & ducked as a soccer ball flew over my head. "Stern!" I yelled, throwing the ball back to him. "Don't kick the ball towards the parking lot!"
I really wished that he & his friends would take a vacation someday…
Well, it was still a pretty nice day. I put one of my favorite CDs on, & hummed along as I drove. Everything was perfect, until I saw something strange in my rear view mirror…
"I can see you, Della Robbia." I said, glaring into the mirror.
"I can explain, Jim." he said.
"Why are you in the back of my car?" I said, trying not to freak out.
Jeremy Belpois suddenly emerged from his hiding spot. "I think I should probably explain this…"
"Belpois!" I said, completely surprised. He never did crazy stunts like this.
"We just needed a ride into town, Jim…" Della Robbia said. "That's all."
"That's all?" I asked. "Couldn't you guys take the bus?" I sighed. I wouldn't let this destroy my weekend. "Sit in the seats & put your seat belts on."
"Great, thanks Jim!"
"Don't think you're off the hook." I said, glancing into the rear view mirror again. A black van was behind me, & he was pretty much on my bumper. "I just have to deal with this idiot riding my bumper."
The boys turned around to see what I was talking about.
"You've got to drive, Jim." Della Robbia said. "Now."
"Relax, I'll just let him pass me."
"No! Jim, you don't understand…" Belpois said as I slowed down. I was just about to tell them to pass when they bumped into us from behind…& not gently. I grabbed the wheel to try & keep us on the rood.
This was not what I had in mind for this weekend…
I'm really excited for this one! Race to Witch Mountain might not have been a huge hit, but I think that it's still a pretty good story…Besides, I'm planning on having many things different in this story…
I hope you guys enjoy it, because this will be so much fun!
