"Why is the passcode not working? Only you and Louisa know this other than me and why is the finger scanning system malfunctioning?" Oliver questioned
"I have no idea Sir, I am tired of trying the same thing for the past 20 minutes," Tim replied
"Try for once again," Oliver said wiping the sweat forming on his face
"How many times we will keep trying the same code, Mr. Miller? We know it's not working and the virus is encrypted everywhere so even your fingerprint is not working. We need to think some other way," suggested Henry Broad
"What other way Henry? Tell me if you know any option if that exists" hissed, Oliver
"Sir, don't be tensed. We will find one or the other way" Tim tried assuring
"Really Tim? We don't have any other way. The room doors won't be opened even with a grenade or firing. They will open only when the passcode works and all this technical team to whom we are paying millions just showed how unworthy they are. They can't even remove the virus in the systems. I just don't know what is Louisa's position inside. What can we do now?" Oliver questioned all tensed
"Sir, please don't worry. Try staying cool. Louisa is a brave girl. She won't fear for anything, she will be all right. You just try staying cool. Have some water" Tim said passing a bottle of water towards Oliver who is sweating in the AC room
"If you people are okay I can try that" Asher spoke
"You will try for us?" Tim questioned surprised
Asher opened his mouth to say something but Oliver started speaking. "What will you try Asher? Will you try making things more tough for us? Will you lock up my daughter permanently in that room? What is your plan?" Shrieked Oliver
"Mr. Miller, I have offered my help because you people are really tensed but I think I have done wrong after watching your arrogance. People like you deserve this" Asher too replied seriously
"How dare you say that Asher?" Shouted Oliver
"Mr. Miller, control yourself," Henry said stopping Oliver
"Stop him Henry; he is the one who is creating all the problems," Oliver said
"Mr. Miller, he is just offering us help. If you are okay with that take it or else leave him but please don't pounce on him now. We have many serious things now and what is the problem if we take his help?" Questioned Henry
"His help! Do you think this arrogant one over here can solve something which these talented people over here can't crack?" Oliver questioned irritated
"I don't know that Mr. Miller, but what is wrong if we give him a chance? We have assigned teams over here and he will be just an addition. If he will be able to open the door we will get to bring Louisa out, if he can't crack it he will just be like others. Now it is not the time to be stubborn. We need help from all sides so please let him too gave a look at that as he is not a layman. He has earned a name and reputation for himself as the Acing Innovator and in talent, he stands strong beside Louisa so I think he can help us in some way" Henry Broad explained his views to Oliver
Oliver cooled down a bit after analyzing the positives from the words Henry spoke and he nodded at Henry
"Mr. Asher Carter, thank you for offering help. We wish that you can help us" Henry said as politely as possible
"Really Mr. Broad? You want me to help you people? But your boss was pouncing upon me until a few minutes before. Then why the sudden change?" Questioned Asher
"See this is why I don't want him near me. Look how arrogant he is behaving" hissed Oliver
"Sir, be calm. Please" requested Tim and turned towards Asher. "Mr. Carter, as you see Sir is visibly tensed for Louisa Miller so he is speaking like that. So please don't take those things to your heart and here have a look at it. We will be indebted if you help us in accessing the code and getting Louisa out" Tim spoke in a requesting manner which didn't go well with Oliver but he didn't utter a word watching Asher who started walking towards the closed door
"What is the previous passcode? " Asher questioned
Tim replied to him and he nodded hearing that.
"Run the analytic format," Asher said to the technical team and they looked at Oliver whether to follow Asher's orders or not and when Oliver blinked at them in return they started following Asher's words
"There is no use, we have done that for 3 times by now," one woman from the team replied
"Then add the retractable server and run the code from the start" Asher ordered the team and pulled out his mobile
"Did you get any lead?" Tim questioned standing beside Asher
"We are trying Mr. Broad" Asher replied without averting his eyes from his mobile screen
"Please call me Tim. I am actually not comfortable being called in that way" Tim replied
"Why Mr. Broad? Just by making your name free from the surname doesn't cut the ties from the family" Asher said to him
"I am saying it for one more time please call me Tim and I have cut my ties with that family and surname long back. Now all the name I have is of my own and I will be happy if we stuck with that" explained Tim
Asher didn't reply anything but just gave a lopsided smile
" So you are trying to add your software to our software to crack the code? Won't that just spill out our secrets to you?" Tim questioned
"Don't worry Tim. I am not using anything to get your information and I don't need to know that too. I am just checking whether a new software in the old one can help us get access to minimize the virus risk. Can you check the lockzen software development for me?" Asher asked Tom
"Yeah, in a second" Tim said dragging his laptop and taking a seat beside Asher
Oliver too logged into his system and started working. Everyone got totally immersed in the work and the only aim lying before eyes is bringing Louisa out safely
"Sophia, if it not important can I call you later?" Oliver said picking the mobile which is been constantly ringing
"Oliver, I just want to know how is the situation over there? Tim is not picking my call to so I thought of calling you" Sophia spoke
"The situation is worse here Sophia, Louisa is inside the safety lounge and the passcode is not working and systems are encrypted with viruses, and many teams are assigned to work on it. We don't know what will happen but as of now, we all are engrossed in that. I am scared of Louisa's situation she is all alone inside" Oliver poured his heart out to his wife
"What? How can the passcode give up all of a sudden? How can do some viruses affect our systems? We have the best ever security network" Sophia wondered
"That is the main thing which we can't understand. How come out of a blue some malware has entered our systems and why all these genius people can't even crack what is that? I am so worried about Louisa" he answered Sophia
"Please don't worry Oliver, nothing will happen to our daughter. You just don't lose your grip over things and keeping the emotional side aside start using your brain and go through everything I am sure you will get what happened and how it happened. If you want I will come over there," Sophia suggested
"No Sophia, you stay there. It is the best thing to do at the moment and as you said even I will try to scrutinize everything. I need to get my daughter out at hook or crook. Call you later" Oliver replied before disconnecting the call
Oliver glanced all over the place and found everyone totally engrossed in work and he saw Asher who is guiding everyone like a leader and looking at him can't stop Oliver's mind from showing some glimpses
