Chapter 12
The workshop was the same as he had found it when he'd first found his way inside five hours ago. It had only taken about five minutes to decode the security key and get into the workshop and five more to get onto the computer.
He had to admit, Tony Stark was wired with more security than most hackers would be able to handle… but not this one. He had been hired specifically to do an inside job. The POU had entrusted him with this duty. The POU had trusted him! Even the lowest in his clan knew what this meant. If the POU entrusted you with you with something, it was a must-do. No matter what the cost might be.
The computer's background was laughable, Tony and Pepper standing in front of what looked like an art museum. It had caught them right in the wrong moment: Pepper looking horribly tired and rubbing her eyes in a slightly angry way, and Tony, glaring straight at them camera. Stark had probably made this the background out of some sort of inside joke. It was just like him.
Maybe it was laughable, but he didn't laugh.
He'd stuck the pin drive in the slot and began the download. Hopefully it would go undetected. He'd deactivated the antivirus software on Stark's computer.
What he hadn't counted on was a nosy co-CEO deciding to turn off a download on what was supposedly "just-her-boss's" computer. He pulled the pin drive out of the slot, and stuck it in his pocket: he'd examine whatever the download had gotten when he was safely in bed.
It was obvious now that the whole "just-her-boss" thing was a ploy hiding the fact that they were together. What kind of coworker has your picture on their background if they're not involved outside of work with you, anyway?
He shook his head as he left the workshop. After all, he hadn't wanted her to get involved. She had made her choice. It wasn't his fault at all… was it? Was he right to feel guilty? No. He wasn't the idiot who had gotten involved with Stark.
Now they were both in danger, and there was no way anyone could stop it.
I know, supah short, but I'm giving you clues here! Double update. Watch out for that next chapter! Much love,
Sofia
