Chapter 20

I only know what they are talking about once Ryder says that last part. That I understand clear as day. We have been compromised! We are in trouble!

"Whoever did this is smart. It means the hackers have probably been in and out of our system and home. Undetected," Freddie says, looking at me and then Ryder.

"We have to get into one of the offices, Ryder. It's the only way to confirm any of this is true," Freddie says as the room lights flicker on and off. I breathe a sigh of relief, but it's short-lived.

"Freddie?" Ryder asks.

"I know, I know! Whoever hacked the system is still in the system. Damnit!"

I stand there paralyzed as I watch the generator.

Someone broke into my house and installed this death trap. How is that even possible? There is someone always home.

Freddie shifts on the crate and then rejoices! The lights come back on!
