"Do I need to repeat myself?" Unknown asked.
We sat in the back of a car owned by the Mint Eye. One of the members drove us to the same apartment building I was in the other day when Unknown gave me directions. It had been two days since I arrived at the Mint Eye headquarters. Until now, I was being held in a cell while Unknown figured out his plan. Now, we were waiting in front of the building, ready to put it in action.
"Hey! Are you braindead?!" Unknown yelled, snapping me out of my daze. I looked up at him and faked a cheesy grin.
"Uh, yeah...sorry. Could you repeat that again?" I asked. Unknown growled a bit and leaned back in his seat.
"Once you get in, go to the same apartment as I lead you to before." He said, reaching into his pocket and grabbing a phone. My phone. "I bugged your phone for you. One of the scumbags we are dealing with is a hacker and could trace you to me in a minute. Unbenounced to him, I'm more skilled in the field and can erase my tracks completely, but unfortunately he can still track your location. You'll need to plant the phone in the apartment, somewhere where the cameras cannot see you."
"The cameras!?" I asked, surprised and a bit more scared than I was before. Unknown sighed and grabbed my hand, turned it around and placed my phone in it.
"Yes, the cameras. If you would've listened the first time, you would already know that." He said in an agitated tone."Though, because of the cameras, you will need to stay there for a few hours, let him think you are there because someone sent you. Once you leave, I'll send your signal somewhere within range so he won't know you're with me."
"And you're sure he won't figure anything out? I mean, how good of a hacker is he?" I asked.
"He's good, but I can match him." Unknown smiled and put his thumb and pointer finger on my chin pulling my face up towards him. "So don't worry about him catching you. You should only be worried about what I'll do if you mess this up."
I gulped.
"So...I go in, enter the code...then I hide the phone?" I asked again still unsure. Unknown rubbed his brow. Was I wrong?
"No! You need to stay there and log onto the messenger I downloaded onto your phone. It's thier precious private messenger so they'll be surprised at to them! Be helpless! Get an in on them!" He said, letting my face go. I raised an eyebrow. He never mentioned any of that to me, like he left out one entire chunk out of the entire plan.
"Oh, okay. Act innocent, gain information, locate cameras, plant phone." I recited back as Unknown nodded.
"Good girl. Now, go in and do it. Like I said, the phone is bugged. I will message you and ask you for progress. Message me if there is an emergency. We'll be back in three hours to pick you back up. Just in case, we'll park down the block. I'll message you the exact address, so don't you worry." He smirked again. I nodded and opened the door, about to walk out until he grabbed my arm, and pulled me back. "Don't forget...If you fail in anyway, I'll make sure to erase your existence permanently." He said in a bit of a whisper. I nodded. "And don't even bother running...because I will locate you and put an end to you."
"Yes. I get it. If I don't cooperate, you will kill me. I understand. You got the point across. Can I go in now?" Impatiently, I pushed my arm back toward me and nodded. I shut the door and watched as the black car with tinted windows drove away, sticking out my tongue, and flipping it off in secret where he couldn't see if he looked back.
I looked back at the building and took a deep breath.
Let's do this.
Yoosung : failed my midterms fml! T-T
Zen: Playing video-games all night most likely.
707: i agree lol.
Yoosung: I'm not going to deny it T-T
Jumin Han: I advice you keep up your GPA if you are still planning on working for the company after you graduate.
Yoosung: I'm still on the list?!
Jumin Han: Yes.
707: lucky you! In this day and age especially lol
Zen: I don't get why anyone would want to work for your company. Plus, it's nepotism.
Jumin Han: Recruitment, actually.
Zen: You're basically giving him a free pass rather than letting him train.
Jumin Han: …
707: i don't think he cares.
Zen: I know he doesn't care.
707: wait, there's a difference between recruitment and nepotism? O_O
Jumin Han: nepotism is recruiting someone you know and they are not of any help.
Zen: Still it's wrong.
Jumin Han: And still, you were wrong.
Yoosung: T-T really guys?
-Mystic_Creature has entered the chat-
707: WAIT!
Yoosung: Who is that!?
Zen:?
Jumin Han: Mystic_Creature?
Zen: How did IT get in here!?
707: HACKER!
Yoosung: theres a hacker in the room!? Seveeeeneee do something!
Zen: Typos -_-
707: Wait...I'm searching…
I sat in a desk chair in the apartment, twirling around and looking at my phone. I didn't really know what to say to them. Truth be told, I was scared out of my mind. I didn't want to say the wrong thing at the wrong time so I decided to wait it out a bit longer. I felt a buzz at my fingertips and found it to be coming from another messenger. I looked and saw the name 'Uknown'.
Unknown: What are you doing.
Mystic_Creature: I don't know what to say…T-T
Unknown: Say "Hi" or something! And cut it out with those cheesy symbols.
Mystic_Creature: Right sorry.
I changed the app back to the one entitled RFA. While I was gone it looked like a lot of messages were exchanged, even someone new named 'Jaehee Kang' had joined in on the chat.
…
Jumin Han: Who would've downloaded it twice?
Yoosung: not me!
Mystic_Creature: Hello…
Yoosung: IT SPEAKS!
Zen: So it isn't two smartphones…
Mystic_Creature:...Sorry, I'm confused.
Yoosung: SEVEN! ITS TALKING!
Jaehee Kang: How did you find this place? How did you download this app…?
707: This is wierd…
Zen: What?
Yoosung: SEVEN WHAT DID YOU FIND!?
Yoosung: SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVENNN!
707: Sorry, Sorry. This is just so strange…
707: I traced the IP address and oddly enough….
707: ...It's from Rika's apartment.
Found you, Mister Hacker….
Yoosung: RIKA'S APARTMENT!?
Jaehee Kang: I recommend you confess, Mystic_Creature.
Jumin Han: I agree.
707: Give me a sec. Doing some more digging.
Yoosung: GAH I DON'T LIKE THIS!
Zen: You can play games with assassins and all sort of murder...but you can't handle a hacker? -_-;;
Yoosung: IT'S DIFFERENT WHEN IT'S IN REAL LIFE!
Zen: Wait…
Yoosung: ?
Zen: What if it's a girl…
Zen: And she's on of my fans!?
Yoosung: OOOOOOOO!
Jumin Han: What if it's a guy and one of your fans.
Zen: I wouldn't mind. A fan is a fan!
Jumin Han: How modest of you…
Zen: Shut up, Trust Fund kid.
Mystic_Creature:...Excuse me, sorry...but Who are you and what is this place?
707: BACK!
Yoosung: SEVEN! WHAT DID YOU FIND!?
Mystic_Creature: Hello?
707: Wait there, stranger. I'll deal with you in a minute!
Zen: Really Seven?
707: yes really!
707: MORE IMPORTANT NEWS! IT'S A GIRL!
707: (and she's cute)
707: Turns out her name is (Y/N) and she's a student abroad here in Korea.
I stared at my phone in disbelief at all of the correct information he just gave out. If he could find all of that out, was Unknown really sure that he hid his traces efficiently?
Mystic_Creature: WHAT THE HELL!? HOW DID YOU FIND THAT OUT!?
707: I'm just good at what I do ;)
Jumin Han: (Y/N) huh….
Zen: Beautiful name for a beautiful girl ;)
Jumin Han: Oh give me a break. Seven could be lying, It could be an ugly middle aged man for all we know.
Zen: You?
Jumin Han: 27 isn't "Middle Aged".
Zen: Well you're definately not as good looking as me. ;)
Jumin Han: What a shame.
Zen: Shut it.
Yoosung: Sarcastic Jumin is hilarious! Lol!
Mystic_Creature: Hi, uh, about the name. Please don't use it...I don't really like it.
And I wasn't lying. I wasn't planning on telling them my real name anyways. Probably just going to make up a fake one later on...but since out of the picture now, I guess coming up with some sort of different nickname was the best bet.
Mystic_Creature: How about just Mystic or MC?
707: YOU'RE THE ONE WHO HACKED! I CAN CALL YOU WHAT I WANT! (Y/N)! (Y/N)! (Y/N)!
Zen: Rude.
Mystic_Creature: But I didn't hack -_-;;
707: !?
Mystic_Creature: Yeah. If you would give me some room to talk…
Jumin Han: You have the floor.
Zen: What 'Money Butt' mean to say is "You can speak".
Zen: Must be Rich Boy language...
Jumin Han: It was a figure of speech.
Yoosung: Let her talk!
Mystic_Creature: Thank you…
Mystic_Creature: You see, I got a strange message from someone this morning. Their name was 'Unknown'. Said they found a phone at the train station and were looking for it's owner.
Mystic_Creature: They gave me this address and the code to the door and I went in to see if the person was home.
707: and they weren't?!
Zen: Seven, the next time I see you I'm going to kick you.
707: fair enough.
707: Wait so...This 'Unknown' person led you to the apartment….what about the messenger?
Shit….
I had to improvise. Luckily, at this point I was getting pretty good at it.
Mystic_Creature: It was odd...as soon as I got here the screen glitched out and this messenger appeared.
Jumin Han: So you are claiming that this 'Unknown' is the hacker?
Mystic_Creature: I guess so.
707: I just called V. He's logging on in a minute. Explained as much as I could…
Yoosung:...
Mystic_Creature: Anyways, what is this chatroom for?
Jumin Han: How about we answer that after V logs in.
Jaehee Kang: Good Idea.
Yoosung: Jaehee!? Where did you go?
Jaehee Kang: I've been here. Just watching.
707: creepy
Jumin Han: You spy on people for a living.
707: again, fair enough.
Mystic_Creature: Who is V?
-V has entered the chatroom-
Jumin Han: Looks like he can answer that himself.
Before V I got another message from the RFA, Unknown chimed in on the other messenger.
Unknown: Guess you're not so brain-dead after all.
Mystic_Creature: Does that mean I'm doing a good job?
Unknown:...Don't fuck it up.
Mystic_Creature: Roger that.
He totally meant I was doing a good job
