Aaron was dreamily staring at his phone background at work when Aiden burst into his office. He couldn't believe he had done something so silly in retaliation for a prank but Keeley seemed to enjoy it.
He had always thought she was fun to be around but hadn't realized how much of her personality she kept hidden so she would 'look good' in front of him. She was a playful person; why hadn't he gone along with it more often in the past?
No use worrying about that now. The past was gone—the present was what mattered and he thought he was doing a fairly good job, all things considered.
"What do you have for me?" he asked formally.
Aiden's face was uncharacteristically grim. "Not enough, my dude. You know what I did find? Evidence of a hacker protecting this guy's old information. He's not as good as I am—I'll break through the encryptions eventually—but I'm not sure how long it will take."
