"Oh, you had me scared" Holding his hand to his heart, Christian sighed with exaggeration.
"Stop throwing your slippers at me, always the same with you!" shouted Hailie angrily.
"Are you yelling at me young lady?" narrowing his eyes, Christian approached Hailie with a smile.
"N-no" Hailie shook her head quickly "J-just talking a little louder."
"Oh I see..." Nodded Christian with his same smile "You just talked a little louder...but how weird, I swore you yelled at me"
Denying quickly, Hailie smiles stiffly "I-I just spoke loudly"
"Maybe I could forget what I heard if you give me a hug, what do you think?" smiling, Christian opens his arms and arches his eyebrows.
Pursing her lips, Hailie nods reluctantly, knowing that yelling at her big brother is a mistake from countless experiences of torture called tickling "Okay...but just one, yeah?"
"That'll do" With a jump, Christian arrived in front of Hailie, quickly taking the girl in his arms "My dear Hailie is so cute~"
Returning the hug, Hailie just rested her head on her brother's chest, while her lips were still pursed "You said it was just a hug."
"Yes, but I didn't say how long the hug would last."
"..."
Being a few more minutes, Christian was comforted enough and let go of the girl, who without waiting, ran quickly to the second floor.
Stretching for a few seconds, Christian walks to the couch, sitting down next to his mother who was watching with absolute intent the TV showing a movie somewhat similar to 007.
"Mom" Christian spoke, looking directly at the woman.
"..." But only to receive silence from the woman, who was intently watching the movie.
"Mom, give me attention" Snuggling up to the woman, Christian whispered.
"..."
"Mom, I want you to spoil me" Lying back on her thighs, Christian looked at the woman expectantly again.
"..."
Looking boredly at the woman, Christian turned and bit the woman's leg, causing it to twitch rapidly "Ouch!"
"Why are you biting me?" looking at the boy, Eva purses her lips and angrily asks.
"Because you don't give me attention, I'm angry" Puffing out his cheeks, Christian turns and avoids looking at the woman.
Blinking for a few seconds, Eva smiles softly and takes the child in her arms "My child is bored again?"
"..." Ignoring the woman, Christian just remained silent.
"I love you so much my child" Eva whispered, hugging Christian's head with her big chest.
Smiling slightly, Christian looked up at his mother and spoke, "Don't you want to watch your movie anymore?"
"I can watch it another time"
"Nice" smiled Christian "What are you doing today? You have a meeting in 2 hours"
Actually, it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon on a Saturday, but Eva had a meeting at the company to talk about the reopening of all the stores together with the team, and thanks to the money invested, they all could travel to Detroit to hold the meeting in this place.
Apart from that, they have a major problem, the main headquarters of the company is not in Detroit, and although Eva can work via Skype or similar platforms, she can't sign the necessary documents, so Christian asked his mother to move towards Seattle, but Eva refused, saying that they already have their life set up here and she doesn't want to affect Alan and Hailie's normality.
"I don't know... Jayden and Sara will also be at the meeting so they can't watch them" Eva sighed "I don't want to leave them alone, I was planning to take them to the meeting."
"You can't do that, Alan and Hailie won't stand that much time sitting still."
"..."
"You can leave me with them"
"No, that won't happen again!" Shaking her head, Eva spoke "I was looking around and I found a caregiver service, we just pay them and they come and take care of them"
Frowning, Christian asked "Are you sure about that? I don't trust other people"
"They are a company with years in the business, they must have some special way of choosing people, they must be reliable"
"..."
"I'll call in a little while and ask them to come to take care of them, but I'll still leave you taking care of your siblings, understood?" smiling, Eva caressed the boy's face
"Okay" Even with hesitation, Christian agreed, knowing that it would be a problem for his mother to give him more hassle with this situation.
Time passed quickly for the pair, Christian chatted happily as Eva pampered him and gave him the attention the boy demanded, sharing a pleasant afternoon like a mother and son.
After a hour have passed, Eva got up and called the agency, but she returned with furrowed brows and a self-conscious look on her face.
"Is something wrong?" asked Christian.
"They don't have people for today..."
"Mom, can I stay with my siblings today, I'm older now."
"I don't know..."
"Mother, what happened the other time was just a single case, since that day nothing similar ever happened near home."
"..."
"Come on mom, I'll take care of my siblings, you know they listen to me."
"*Sigh* Just for today, yes? After that we will call the agency"
"As you wish" Smiled Christian nonchalantly.
"I'm going to go put on my suit" Nodding, Eva walked to her room.
Watching TV, Christian just relaxed, being completely carefree thanks to the gun he has in his room, knowing that whatever similar trouble happens, he can defend himself.
After about 15 minutes, Eva came out already dressed and ready, wearing another of the suits Christian bought her to look more formal in these situations.
"Christian I'm going out I'm late" Taking her new work suitcase, Eva took her keys and looked at Christian "You know everything, emergency numbers on the fridge, you have your cell phone so you can call me anytime, you can order pizza if you want, but don't leave the house, understood?"
"Yes mom" Getting up, Christian walked over to his mother and stood up on his tiptoes, carefully fixing the folded collar of her shirt "Now you look perfect."
"..."
Kissing her cheek, Christian smiled and opened the door "See you later mom, I'll be waiting up for you, so don't be long."
"I'll be back as soon as I finish work" Eva smiled, leaving with a big smile.
Smiling, Christian watched patiently as his mother got into the car and left for her destination until he no longer saw the vehicle and closed the door.
Staring at the stairs with pursed lips, Christian sighed "Hailie will be playing computer games all afternoon, Alan spends all day on social media... I have free time for myself".
Picking up his cell phone, Christian dialed Emily.
"Hello?"
"Hi Christian!"
Smiling at the excitement in her voice, Christian lay down on the couch and spoke "What have you been doing? I'm bored."
"I'm playing online, did you know it was the Kennedy family themselves who killed President Kennedy along with the secret service?"
"..."
"Hailie, where are you playing?" asked Christian seriously.
"In something called pentagon, I don't know why they give these systems such weird names."
"..."
"Christian?"
"Haha~ yeah I saw those crazy conspiracies, but don't believe them" laughed Christian stiffly, sitting up straight on the couch, while his hands were sweating slightly "Emily, is it possible that someone knows you're playing in that place? You know, they might scold you"
"Oh, don't worry about that, I always follow your advice" Emily replied cheerfully.
"Emily, do you remember the game app we created with the keyword 'Ghost'?"
"Yes, but it wasn't a game, it served to-"
"Get into that game, I'm bored and I feel like showing you how to be the best" Spoke Christian stiffly.
"But you said to only enter in case-"
"Emily, just get on our app and let's play, yeah?"
"Okay" Emily replied hesitantly.
Rushing to grab his laptop, Christian logs in and goes about turning on the VPNs created by Emily, instantly securing his connection, then opening another personal VPN and filtering the IP addresses.
With everything secured, Christian opens the program and a small tab opens that only has a chat on it, while a red ghost is seen in one corner.
"Christian, why do you want to play here, we have nothing" Emily wrote.
"Emily, did you secure your line?"
"Every day."
"Well, I'll be blunt... that pentagon isn't just any page, it's the main force of this country."
"What does that mean?"
"That they have people much worse than the police, if you get caught you'll never see the light of day again."
"..."
"And they have a lot of people like you working in their systems, people who play games 24 hours a day to see if anyone dares to infiltrate inside the system."
"..."
"Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Yes... if they find me I will go to jail?"
"At best, but most likely you will be kidnapped or something similar, where you will be forced to work for them."
"But if that happens we won't be able to travel..."
"That's why I'm giving you a reality check Emily, you have to know that the internet is dangerous, there are a lot of bad people out there."
"..."
"That's why I changed the subject on the phone, don't trust the calls, they also tend to be saved and be listened at some point, this is our only safe source to talk about these issues, understood?"
"Yes..."
"Emily, I don't want to scold you, but it's dangerous what you're doing... first the DeepWeb, then the pentagon, what's next? The CIA?"
"Christian..."
"Please don't tell me you've already infiltrated CIA systems."
"Oops..."
"Emily..."
"But don't worry, no one will find me!"
"How sure are you?"
"I used mom's windows, plus I used all of mom's recommended security protocols."
"Okay... save all your important files and throw away your computer, make sure you disassemble it first and run each component through water, then throw it in the trash separately two days apart, in a week you should be done."
"But Christian... I like my computer, you gave it to me."
"Emily, we have to be sure... you know I worry about you, if you get caught by those people there is a chance we won't see each other again"
"I'll throw it away right now!"
"I will also give you another Router for you to connect the internet, take it as an upgrade... also check out a computer you want, I will give it to you as a gift and send it to your house"
"Thanks, I'll talk to you by Whatsapp when I see it!"
"Ok, we're talking... and please take care of yourself"
"Yes!"
"Emily"
"Yes?"
"I'm not telling you to stop having fun, but avoid government or military sites, plus the police obviously"
"Got it!"
"When you're more experienced, you'll be able to get in wherever you want without worrying, but it's still too early."
"Yes!"
"Okay, see you, remember not to talk about these topics on cell phone, I love you, bye!"
"Bye!"
"*Sigh* This girl will give me a heart attack" Putting the computer aside, Christian rubbed his temples and looked up at the ceiling wearily.
...
Meanwhile with Emily.
"Hehe~" Emily smiled strangely as she hugged her knees "He said he cared about me."
"He also said he loved me Hehe~" She let out a strange laugh again, creating a gloomy atmosphere due to the darkness in the room.
Typing quickly, Emily checked the recording on Christian's computer as she typed to him "He looks so cute in his serious state."
Pursing her lips, Emily changed the files "But who knew they'd have a file on him at the pentagon... why do they want to know about him? I didn't get to read the file, let's see..."
"Christian Grey... subject with unknown potential, tested by Kira Martinez... demonstrates unique leadership traits, at the same time presents several Psychopathic traits, among them: unique verbal ability, ability to influence the thoughts of others, impulsive attitude, egocentric, frivolous behavior, a great superficial charm, manipulative behavior, controlling... but the most remarkable is his great intelligence, it is demonstrated that his intelligence has no comparison with children of his age... lack of childish attitude, mental age of approximately 20."
"Potentially dangerous, Kira recommends having 24-hour surveillance.... move other countries away from him..... under no situation to be associated with other possible subjects on the list...the third most dangerous on the list."
"Wow...who knew my friend was so...dangreous" Turning the page, Emily continues reading "Surveillance approved, financial tracking initiated, the subject is proven to be involved in much of the country's potential business ventures...large purchases of factories and companies in his name...surveillance level raised to face-to-face, CIA informed..."
"Holy crap, the CIA!" exclaimed Emily, quickly turning the page and reading on "Background investigation... recovering drug addict father... mother charged with murder, ruled by jury to be self-defense... victim, aunt of subject's father, charged with ****... friends: Sarah Jones, fellow editorial writer, clean. Emily Allen... that's me" Furrowing her eyebrows, Emily continued reading "Normal girl, school relationship, clean."
"..."
"Awaiting response from the CIA." Biting her nails, Emily whispers nervously "My friend... what are you getting yourself into"
