Earlier that day before The Seven had their meeting.
THEOPHILUS SNOW'S POV.
The sun rays passed through the windows of my room. Every morning, it's the first thing I see before I start the day and today, here it was again. I get up and lay my bed properly, then I make my way to the bathroom.
"Hello Theophilus" my automatic AI Karen greeted me
"Hello Karen" I responded
"You have a meeting today with Governor Scott and the rest of The Seven" she said while I waited for the shower to rain down cold water on me. I never really got around to the concept of using hot water, it's just always been cold water for me I guess.
"Okay Karen, what time is the meeting actually, I want to see if I can make it to the basement in time and still keep to the meeting"
"It's at 11:00am to be precise"
"Well the time now is 6:30am, I'll spend most of my day at The Basement and I'll leave for the meeting" I say trying to remember if I have any other important thing I need to do.
After 25 minutes of bathing plus teeth brushing an looking for the perfect shirt, I finally make my way out of the house and head over to the garage. I keep only one car in this garage, the rest of the cars are at the basement. I get into the car and a call comes in.
"Hello Theophilus Snow" said the familiar voice and I couldn't particularly place it
"Yes, this is he who's asking?"
"It's Aldus, ze prime minister of France"
"Oh Aldus buddy, what brings me under your radar"
"Ah you see, France is in a little bit of issue financially and I was wondering if you could help sort us out" he said as I made my way to the basement and parked my car, holding my phone to my ear, I kept the conversation going trying to get him to tell me what exactly is the issue and why they need my help but to no avail, he doesn't talk and I decide to find out for myself.
After he cut the call, I get into The Basement, it's my office space, my personal work space and only my second and third in command know about this place and once again the moment I enter, I hear Karen's voice on the speakers saying "Welcome Theophilus"
"You know Karen, you don't have to keep greeting me every time I come in"
"Well humans do believe that greeting a person is a respectful thing to do, I believe that I am showing you some respect"
"And I appreciate it but seriously, tone it down a bit okay?" I asked inquisitively.
"No problem Sir"
"Good now Karen, we won't be working on your new upgrade just immediately because I need you to look into the financial situation of France and why they need money from us and what they need it for" with that being said she brought on the computer screen, I have to say, I'm proud of my creation. She runs all the available programs at her disposal and it takes nothing less than a minute and with that she has results.
"Mr Snow, with what I have encountered, I don't believe the good government of France is going broke, if anything they are building their financial fortress" she said
"Why do you say that?"
"Well, if you take a look at the screen, you'd see a transaction between them and the Russians, the Spaniards, the Italians and oddly, the Africans. They plan on running big financially Sir."
"I guess it's time we show them who the king of the jungle is Karen"
"Sir, let me get this straight, you plan on hacking France by yourself"
"Yes Karen, yes I do"
"Okay then Sir I'll leave you to it"
"Yes thank you very much." I said to her, moving forward to my own system, it's accumulated some dust after not being used for a while. I'd have used Karen but this became personal the moment Aldus's phone call came in, so I begin work.
After breaking about 5 firewalls and turning them into viruses so they could help me look for what I was looking for, I finally get into the bank account of every single man and woman in power and then I began to actually work. I removed a sum of 30 million dollars from each and everyone of them that's from 20 people, leaving at least 200,000 thousand dollars in their accounts.
I know that the French are a sneaky bunch of people but I didn't think that they would go through this extent. After a hand numbing thirty minutes, I check the time and it's just 25 minutes till the meeting, damn it, I hate being late. I wear my shirt properly and head out with a strong conviction that I'll be hearing from Aldus soon enough.
I get into my car and head for the general office of The Seven. My phone rings and the caller ID reads Alexander. I pick and I'm not so happy about it
"Hey ummm you need to get here fast" he says
"Why what's the issue?"
"There's an issue alright and it's not the kind we'd leave untended"
"Who's the problem?" I ask again this time being more persistent
"Just get down here"
He hung up and with that kind of suspense hanging over my head, I hit the gas pedal and drive faster than I would if someone were to be dying. In due time, I make it there and head straight for Alexander's office.
"What seems to be the problem?" I ask as I impolitely barge into his office
"Hmm that was fast but that's irrelevant, so today I got to work early because Steph and I haven't finished working on the serum for speeding up the birth process and I was working on it when I noticed an anomaly with Scott's son, it happened twice within an hour"
"Well get on with it, what kind of anomaly?"
"The love kind" he says and with that, I notice we have only 5 minutes till meeting time, I ask him to stand and that we should get going.
"Okay, this is what's going to happen, you'll not breathe a word of this to anyone most especially Gloria and Jasmine, we both know they'll kill his kid. Let me tell Scott and after that we'll break it to them" I say as the rest of them make their way toward us.
"No problem" said Alexander and with that we all make our way into the conference room only to see Scott in there before any of us which was a big surprise seeing as he never kept to time.
We had our meeting and they each brought up their respective issues, looking to me for answers once in a while if they felt confused. The only thing in my mind was how on earth that boy has managed to feel love and it was still bothering me because if he doesn't end up dead, someone will.
The meeting ends and I tell Scott about his son but I leave the love detail out and I head into my own office. Locking the door behind me and closing the blinds, I begin work yet again.
"Karen, I need you to transfer the money we recovered from the French to all seven of us, make it am equal amount"
"Yes sir, will that be all Sir" she asks
"No Karen, I need you to break into the house and chip of Eric Morrin."
