"So, you're saying that these things will take hours to make?" I shook my head.
"Someone who is used to this sort of an encrypting will take a minute to solve it. Similarly, someone who has practiced making such codes will take a couple of minutes to make it."
"So, these are all those codes?" He took one paper up and gave it an apprehensive look. I mumbled a yes and picked up a paper myself. The code was simple enough, it seemed.
"Where did you find these?" I asked Eric.
"They used texts to send the codes," he explained.
"Can't we track the cell phones that these messages were sent to?" Anthony inquired. Eric shook his head.
"We tried that, but it turned out that these cell phones were disposable. The only consistent thing was the phones of the senders, and they will never go to ground zero, themselves. They know the risk they are running by sending the messages in such an open manner."
