In The Eyes of the Beholder

"Kaia?" Max called from the stairway as she entered the house again, wiping the snow off her clothes.

"Yes?" She signed at him as he ran down from the top of the stairwell and reached her in the blink of an eye. "What's gotten you so excited?"

"I did it! I am finally finished. You can use it as a normal phone and it will never be traced " he said, handing the phone to her as his eyes became a little but heavy-lidded and she quickly pulled him to the couch before he could fall asleep on the floor.

Once they reached the couch, he fell asleep, head resting on her lap and hand clutching the phone he worked so hard on.

Kaia took that from his and swiped it to the side, seeing that it has no lock she began browsing through everything there. Not that there was much in that phone, except a few special media apps.

She opened them to see that she was logged into a woman's account, even having access to the private messages there.
