~ Los Angeles, White corp. annual meeting ~
Thursday, October 24, 5:32 PM
Alexander excused himself and went to the restroom.
He locked himself in a stall and got a laptop out of his bag.
Within few minutes, Alex accessed internal network of White corp. and started the execution of his script. After confirming that tool is corrupted and two services are failing, he erased traces of his login history and disconnected from the network.
With this, his work is done. His last favor to Eva.
He sent her a text: "I did my part. He will be delayed. The rest is on you. Don't call me again."
Alexander left the restroom without waiting for a response.

5:48 PM
Jeff is on the stage, delivering his closing speech and thanking everyone for attending the event with wishes for another successful year (and more) ahead of them.
Aiden checked his phone and frowned. He stepped away and made a call.
Song from my headset while writing this last part: Calum Scott - You Are The Reason
Look it up on YouTube! :)

This is one extra chapter for Sunday, before mass-release starts at noon (GMT+8)

Upcoming mass release will be combined with a Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa (or whatever you are celebrating) treat for a total of 10 chapters!

By the way... for this bonus chapter + overwhelming 10 chapters which are coming, you can thank my 3 year old daughter who few days ago decided not to sleep during the night... so while she plays happily at 4 AM with finger puppets and shadows, I have my laptop with me and I write... :)

Enjoy!
