Ice Blue Eyes
Chapter Four
If you were to have walked into the office, blindfolded, you would have thought the place was empty. After hearing that little snippet of information, the entire office went quiet. Cameron was actually thinking about testing the pin theory five minutes into the silence because he was pretty sure that this place had mice.
Melanie cleared her throat after awhile, getting the attention of the entire office. "Alright guys, nothing to look at here. Get back to work, Oz would be furious if he saw us like this." That one sentence got them all moving. Even if they didn't remember that Oz was probably watching them with the many cameras around the office.
"Nice job Mel!" Cash was doing a weird smile with head down while he was still looking at Melanie. The creep smile.
Melanie rolled her eyes, a small smile played on her face. "Yea, well, we have some work to do. And that involves your new friend here." She pointed at Cameron, eying him. "You get to help us track down the person who put you up to this." She started walking away before stopping and turning back to Cameron. "By the way, I'm surprised that you lasted as long as you did. I never get to chase somebody in a car because I usually get them in the first hour." She smiled and continued walking.
"Yea, nice job man." Cash slapped him on the back, making Cameron stumble forward a little bit before his feet were able to catch him. "Heck, if this job works out, Oz might want you here permanently. It's not every day that someone can hack him and outrun him. Even if you were eventually caught." He started pushing on Camerons shoulders, nudging him in the direction that both Melanie and Josh went.
Cameron received stares as Cash walked him through the office. There was this one crazy chick that came up to him while she was eating mayonnaise out of the jar. All she did was stare him down as they walked pass her. Cameron tried to ask but Cash shushed him and told him to just keep moving.
When they got to the room where Melanie and Josh were, Oz popped up behind them. He pushed them in and turned around to shut the door on them. Then he turned back around and clasped his hands tightly together.
"Alright! I think it's time to get down to business kids." His hands took the place of Cash's and guided him to a seat in the front. Then pushed him down and waited for the rest of them to sit as well. "As you know, someone has been trying to get info on me. I have no idea why or who this person is. And it's crucial that they get nothing. Better yet, that they disappear to somewhere else. Like a secluded Island of some sorts.
Main point, we're going to haunt this guy down. And now we have some help." He walked behind Cameron and placed his hands on Cameron's shoulder again, turning him around to face everybody else at the table. "You've all met Cameron? Good. Well, I've seen his hacking skills and they're pretty good. He was also part of this little heist to get me and now that we have him, he's going to help us, catch the other guy. Isn't that right Cameron?" Oz smiled down at him.
Cameron sighed and slumped further into the seat. "I don't really have a choice in this matter."
"Atta boy! He's already a team player. So, let's go over what you were able to get a hold of." Oz pulled over a chair and sat down in front of Cameron.
Cameron rubbed the back of his neck. "Some of the basic stuff. Like your name and where you live. Your parents. Then I was able to find some encrypted files. Those were the things on the disc too."
Oz looked at him. "Did you decrypt them?"
"No. He paid me to find them. Not make them readable. Hell, doing that's hard as hell and very lengthy time wise. I would have demanded more money if I had to do that." Cameron tried to scoot back on the chair. Oz was close to him and it was making him, uncomfortable.
"So you didn't read anything?"
"It wasn't part of my job. I left it to him. I don't know who you are. Or well, didn't. So I didn't have a reason to look into your life." If he could have, Cameron would have scooted his chair back a bit. But Oz had one of his hands on the arm resters. The chair was staying in place.
Oz eyes became slits, like he was trying to look into Cameron and figure him out. It was a few minutes before Oz opened his eyes back up and looked around at the team. "Alright, Let's get to work. Cash, show Cameron to the computer that he'll be using. I want him to get to work on tracking this guy down, or at least getting me a name. You all have," He checked his watch. "I say about eight hours to give me something."
Everyone started to get up and walk out the room, Cameron following Cash. Cameron turned around and cleared his throat.
"Did you get that CD that I mailed?" Oz smiled and walked up to Cameron, putting a arm over his shoulders and bringing him in to whisper in his ear.
"I got it. And I also know that you lied to me." Cameron's eyes went wide.
"W-what? Lie? About what?" Oz stared him down.
"You really shouldn't lie kid. You're not very good at it." Cameron's mouth opened and closed like a fishes. "You read some of it. Curiosity got the better of you. I can tell on your face. What all did you read?"
Cameron hing his head low. "Not much really. Like I said, decrypting it is a long process. And I didn't really have much time to decrypt what I did. Now that I think about it, I probably should have just finished it and mailed it. Maybe then I wouldn't be in this situation."
"Ah, it's not that bad. At least we're not gonna kill you!" Cameron actually hadn't thought about that. Now he was.
Oz could tell because Cameron's face became pale. "Don't worry, I don't kill people. I"m in the security business, not murder. So, it's cool, now get over there and get hacking away. The clock is ticking and when it's down, I would like some information." Oz pulled away from Cameron and pushed him forward.
Cash was waiting for him by an empty desk. "Sup man, this is your computer." Cameron sat down and sighed. "So, what were you two talking about?" Cameron looked up at him.
"I can't lie."
SO? C'mon, give me some loving. Maybe a cookie?
