Kat walked around Jordi's apartment, picking up the little items she owned and some she didn't. She looked through her small wardrobe and packed her jeans, some t shirts and her favourite jacket she always had. It was mid summer at the moment in Chicago, but it could get damn cold in the bunker. Before leaving she did one last sweep around of the room Jordi had loaned her, and she spotted the picture of her and her little sister doing a duck face. She walked to it and picked it up from the dresser. Memories of her sister flooded her mind and she stuffed the photo in her back pack, quite literally burying her memories. She then left the apartment and made her way down the corridor towards the exit and nearing her car. Her car was an old muscle car, it was her pride and joy because she ha bully it from the ground up herself… With a little money input from Jordi.
Before starting the engine she looked around her car for her phone, finding it along with he glasses case. She figured if she was staring at computers all day, she may need her glasses. She found her phone and checked it for messages. She didn't have any friends, she couldn't really with all the people she knows, but it turns out he did have one message from on of her close friends called Beth. She was a very good friend who had grown up with Kat back in England. The message was short and read:
"Hey, we haven't spoken in a while, I hope your okay, we need to start keeping in touch better!"
Kat rolled her eyes at her friends text. She put her gone in her pocket decided to reply to the message later. Or not, she hadn't decided yet. She turned the key in the ignition and the car roared to life. She smiled at the sound of the V8 engine under the bonnet, it had been a while since she had driven the car, and she was starting to love it all over again. She didn't think she'd remember the way to the bunker, but once she was on the road she seemed to unconsciously know which turn to take and after what seems like a few minutes, Kat was standing outside the bunker. The bunker gave her a Lange of nostalgia as she remembered building the whole thing. She also remembered playing pranks with Rose and Ray against Tobias, and his pitiful attempts to get them back. She smiled and shook her head at the memory, she hardly thought about the time she spent in Blume, but she realised they where some of her her greatest memories.
She got into the crate that would take her to the main room in the bunker and she walked out when it had finished moving. The room was a lot bigger than she remembered, and a lot messier. Oh so messy.
Her arrival caused the 3 men to turn around and look at her. Ray stood up from his seat to walk to her
"Decided to actually come then?" He asked, highlighting how long it had taken her to et there.
"Hey, you know me, always fashionably late" Kat joked, play punching him on the shoulder. He grinned and slung his arm around her shoulder
"Oh! Aiden, you haven't met Kat officially yet have you?" Ray said, pushing Kat in his direction. Kat held out her hand for him to shake and he took it. The first thing she noticed was his unbelievable green eyes. She cringed inside at how cliché that was, that really wasn't her. She also notice how tall he was, or was that how small she was?
"Erm, hi?" He said and she looked away quickly, realising she had been staring
"Yeah hi" she said quickly, hiding her face and sitting next to Tobias looking at a computer monitor with some code already on the screen
"Have you already started on the code?" She asked Tobias
"Yup. Did this myself. Is it any good?" He asked, unsure of the quality of his work
"This is good Tobias, it's damn good" she said as she got comfy and started typing away. She was in her zone. The feeling of knowing exactly what to do made her feel very excited about the whole thing again. She went to go pick up a mug of tea, like she was used to, but she didn't have one
"Is anyone going to put the kettle on?" She asked, looking around. The three men looked at each other and Aiden ended up being the one who moved to make the drinks. He stopped before leaving the room to ask a question:
"How do you take your coffee?"
"Oh, I don't. I drink tea, milky and two sugars please" Kat said, giving him a quick smile before looking back at her work. He nodded and waked to get it done.
After hours and hours typing in computer codes and seeing lines and lines of information going past her, she had finally completed the meanest virus she could come up with, with a little help from Ray and Tobias. Aiden had been out doing god knows what for a few hours and for the last bit he had just sat in the bunker on his phone. Ray was in the corner welding god know what and Tobias had his head on the desk, having a nap.
"Done" Kat said, leaving back and stretching her whole body.
"Damn, that was quick! I told you she was good!" Ray said, walking over and patting her shoulders
"Okay, so how do we upload the virus?" Aiden asked , getting straight to the point
"Well, there are 6 Blume centres in Chicago that are particularly weak, so we have to go to each point and drop our code on and voila!" Kat said, waving her hands around whole she spoke.
"Okay, sounds easy enough" Aiden said, making a move but Kat got up to stop him
"No no no, you're not going alone"
"What? Why?" Aiden asked, fully confused
"Because once you drop the first code in you'll be against the clock. Their detection software is good, you'll never make it to all six points in time before they realise what is going on" Kat explained "I'll do 3 points and you do 3" Aiden just nodded and picked up a gun which reminded Kat that she hadn't packed her own gun
"Shit" she cursed under her breath
"What? What's wrong" Aiden asked, worry present in his voice
"I er, forgot my gun" she said embarrassingly. Aiden just rolled his eyes and picked up a gun from a wooden box on the floor
"Here, have one of mine" he said, passing her the pistol. She mumbled a thank you and tucked it into her waist band of her jeans
"Alright, I guess that means we're off!" Kat said as Aiden and herself made their way up the stairs
"Stay safe! And good luck!" Ray shouted up
"Yeah, don't get killed or… Or captured" Tobias said as they got into the crate
"We wonttttttt~" Kat said in a song song voice as the door closed and the crate starting moving downwards. The small trip was done in an awkward silence. To battle this silence, Kat got her phone out and decided to text Beth back.
"Hey, yeah we haven't spoken in a while, I'm good, I hope you are well!" Kat sent the send button as the door opened to the island.
"Okay, you know that plan, right?" Kat asked, unsure how much Aiden knew
"Yeah. Get in, drop the spyware and then get out" he said simply
"Don't get cocky, since your little black out a couple months back, the people at Blume have tripled their security" Kat warned in an angry toe. And with that, she got into her and started making her way out of the island. Once she was on the road and on route to her first location, she called Aiden, who picked up almost instantly.
"Yeah?" Aiden grunted
"Jesus, you really aren't one to talk" Kat said, trying to pry any kind of conversation from the man but, to no avail as he just mumbled in response "Right, to be on the safe side we should probably keep communication" Kat said
"Yeah. That's probably best" was all he said, but he didn't hang up. Kat coughed slightly to make up for the awkward silence and, when she realised he wasn't going to say anything else, she just started humming what ever song was on the radio. When Kat finally arrived at her first Blume office tower, she informed Aiden who just gave her a "good luck" and then she was on her way. Her first two where easy, she'd distract the guards, sneak past and then get to the central computer and do the technical bit, and then slip away undetected. She'd phone Aiden every now and then, and sometimes he'd phone her. The conversations where never long. There wasn't any problems until she got to her last location in Pawnee. Her said hiccup was when she was leaning over the desk of the computer. The computerwas situated in a small room with only one entrance and exit, so when Kay heard the shuffling if feet, she knew someone had walked into the room. This was informed when she heard a shaky voice say:
"S-step away from the computer" Kat turned round to face the guard who was pointing a gun with two shaking hands. Kat rolled her eyes and reached for her gun. She didn't have time for this, and she couldn't let this one guy ruin this whole thing so, in one swift movement she grabbed her gun and shot him in the temple. This stuff used to phase her, but bit any mire. Not after the things she's seen. She turned around to see if the upload was complete and it was.
She got out swiftly and dialled Aiden's number
"I'm done, you?" She asked as she backed out of the driveway she had parked in
"Yeah, just getting out now." After a silence where Aiden was thinking if what to say he finally said: "have any trouble?"
"A little, a guy caught me at the computer desk, but I handled it" Kat said nonchalantly
"Handled it?" Aiden asked, she could almost hear the smirk in his voice
"Yeah. I shot him" that took Aiden by surprise, which Kat heard from the huff he made
"You and Jordi are so alike" was all he said and then he hung up. Kat just shrugged and continued her way to the bunker.
When Kat arrived at the hideout she walked down the stairs and noticed Aiden had beaten her to the bunker. When she arrived at the bunker they all turned to her
"So how do we if know it worked?" Aiden asked, crossing his arms while leaning on the side of one of the desks
"Well we have to wait until Blume updates the system and reboots the whole city" Kat explained
"So wait, we have to wait a whole week to see if it even worked?" Aiden said, raising his voice slightly
"Look, if there was an easier way to do it, that's how we would've done it" Ray said, placing his hand on Aiden in an attempt to calm him down. Kat yawned and realised how completely tired she was.
"I'm gonna go to bed, I'm knackered" Kat said, stretching her body again
"Okay, goodnight" Ray said with a smile and the others said their good nights
Kat walked towards a small room that included a double bed. Ray turned to Aiden and asked:
"What do you think of her"
"I don't know" Aiden mused.
