"Tracer, please play CCTV video recording 1002307 on T.V pleaseeee." Alice commanded Tracer.
"You remember the video number?!" Rafe asked. Alice just gave a smile which was a nasty one for Rafe.
"Ummm…Okay!" Said Tracer.
"No! Stop! Why in the world…. you are listening to her?!"Rafe asked.
"Because, She said PLEASE and she is NOT mean!" Tracer replied. "Like you." He whispered to himself.
"Are you trying to say I am mean?" Rafe asked in shock.
"I didn't say so!" Tracer said. Alice and her mum giggled. Tracer joined them.
"I really need to switch of that polite mood permanently!" Rafe whispered to himself.
"Oooo…Tracer please lock the polite mode permanently. So that no one can switch it off. Everybody should behave!"
Alice heard Rafe. Her ears were really sharp.
"Oooo…GOOD IDEA!" Said Tracer. "Locked!"
"OH,NO!" Rafe said.
Alice and her mum busted out of laughter again and Tracer joined them, AGAIN!
"Come on Tracer! We need to complete our game. Right? Please come with me." Rafe said POLITELY.
"Oh yes!" He whispered to himself. Tracer loved making games with Rafe.
"Only because you said PLEASE!" Tracer said, pretending he didn't want to go with Rafe.
"Excuse us!" said Tracer.
"But, but, but what about the video?" Alice really wanted Rafe to get scolded.
"And your food?" asked Rafe's Mum.
"I am not hungry!" said Rafe while pulling Tracer.
"I will play the video. Beep,Baap,Boop! There you go!" Said Tracer.
"Ughhhhh…" Rafe couldn't do anything!
He dragged Tracer to his room.
"That, is what you call being mean!" Tracer said.
"I am sorry...It's just, I miss him!" Rafe said. And this time he was really sorry, and Tracer knew!
"It's okay! Err…I know! Let's complete the game!" Tracer tried to make Rafe feel better. He passed Rafe his Laptop.
"Thanks!" Rafe wiped his tears and took the laptop. He opened it and started typing CODE ALIVE to try it for one last time.
After a few seconds, he could hear footsteps which were really loud! And he knew who it was. It was his mum. For a moment, everything was quiet and Rafe thought that his mum went back, but then he could hear something so loud and clearly that even plugging his ears was not enough for him! Even Tracer fainted. It was Mrs.Ractor's shout, "Rafe! Open your door at once! Enough is enough! Enough hacking! Apologies to your sister or else you are grounded!" But something distracted him, something which was displayed on his screen. He didn't realized that he had clicked the 'Enter' key somehow and now, on the screen the code was loading. His mum's voice slowly fainted in his mind he again read the words on the screen. He thought it was a dream! He even pinched himself. It was NOT a dream. It was clearly written on the screen "Code: Alive;…Loading…".
"Mom?" Rafe said with his eyes still on the screen.
"FINALLY! YOU ANSWERED ME! NOW OPEN THE DOOR"
And there were the bangs on the door continuously.
"Mom just come in! Be quick! I found the code! It's Loading!" Rafe exclaimed!!! He couldn't believe his eyes! Mrs.Ractor knew what Rafe was talking about, and so did Alice. Both of them rushed inside and stared at the screen.
"Code Alive" Mrs.Ractor whispered. Her eyes were in tears. Not only hers, but Alice and Rafe's eyes were wet too.
"Dad took 3 years to make it but never told anyone the use of it!" Alice said.
"He worked so hard on it!" Said Mrs.Ractor, forgetting everything about what happened earlier.
"This is the moment of TRUTH!" Said Rafe. The rest of them nodded.
"How did you unlock it this time?" asked Alice.
"I don't know. It's a miracle! Look! It has loaded to 99%" Said Rafe.
"I am proud of you my boy!" Mrs.Ractor hugged Rafe with one arm.
"That's my bro!" Said Alice. All of them were looking at the screen with their eyes wide open! But then they were distracted by Tracer. He was finally awake! Everybody rushed to him and hugged him.
"You okay buddy?" Rafe asked.
"Yes master!" Tracer said while rubbing his head.
"Call me Rafe! I am your friend, not your master! I was just kidding around a little!" Rafe said.
"OH…Ok…Rafe." Tracer said. He felt quite happy.
"Are you hurt?" Alice asked
"No. Thanks for asking Alice!" Tracer said.
"We have something to show you! Look! Code Alive! It's active." Mrs.Ractor said.
"Code Alive?!" Tracer was in shock.
