A few days after, Fleur disappeared from the hospital. They were all worried but they could nothing since they didn't know where she stayed. They could only wait and hope.
----
'Twas a Friday morning at the office. The group was bored,worried and just bored. Bored, they had no assignments. Worried,they hadn't heard from either their boss nor Fleur.
"Guys,do you think she is fine?"
"Em,we don't know but hopefully she is alright."
"Then what of Abe,Brax? "
"Jade, Abe can handle himself. Just don't worry too much."
"But I heard that he went to Ice land."
"Oh for the love of..."thought Brax. It was in times like these that he was the grown up. He had to pacify them all, they knew what had happened before in Ice land, so they were afraid for Abe and themselves. Unbeknownst to them,trouble lurks just around the corner.
"I'm gone for less than a week and everyone's all gloomy? Who's dead?" said a certain someone.
It's nice to see them jolt alive. Makes me happy that they don't worry.
[Abe:see what I did there Kye. You got punned!]
[Kye:....]
"Abe, welcome back."
"Yeah,you had us worried."
"You had better not have injured yourself."
Oh,these mother hens. Oh well,we've come from far and fought through a lot to get to where we are to day. Oh,yeah, I'm not seeing one person.
" Guys,where is Fleur?"
Silence,was all I got. Maybe they were gloomy because she really did.....
"Hello everyone!" interrupted a somewhat cheery voice. Somewhat? Forced, maybe but not in pain. Hmmmmm.....
"Fleur Hales, you left the hospital without telling any of us. Do you know how worried we were?" asked Jade. Goth girl actually cares,ok.
"Sorry, everyone something came up so I had to leave sooner."
"Is this why you almost look like a mummy?"
She was covered somehow in bandages. Only I know what we were up to, but she doesn't that she has been found out. As they spoke, an alarm went off. It sounded vaguely familiar.
"What's up with the blaring alarm?"
Now I remember. I dashed to my PC and saw it was really happening. I sprang into action.
I got to the public podcast system at my table and gave out orders.
"Everyone, our firewalls have been breached. I need you all to get to your stations and counter attack!"
I watched the whole department scurry to their cubicles and desks. For about five minutes,all that could be heard was the click-clack of the keyboard keys. That was until.....
"Where's that son of a gun that made my grand child sick? Come out if you call yourself a man!"
What? Is that gramps I hear? I must be too tired that I've started hallucinating. I heard some sniffles and shouts and realised that the old man was actually at the office! Dammit! What is he doing here? Argh, let me finish up with this virus and hackers,I'll deal with him later but,how did he know that I work here??
A WHILE AGO IN THE DIRECTOR'S OFFICE
"Gerald, what happened to my granddaughter? Why was she hospitalized? Explain! I didn't let her work here to be bullied." shouted a certain old man.
"Number 43,please let me explain."
"Did you just use my number?" His voice dropped by a few decimals and the room became unreasonably cold. The aura of a mogul was leaked! Bam!! Mogul #43,the informer.
"Sorry, Mr. Informer sir. I will get someone to lead you to their department." The poor director, that everyone else feared was quaking under the pressure of a mogul. He hurriedly called someone to escort the old man and then sat dow. to wipe away the sweat that had formed at the nape of his neck. "Damn, moguls are scary beings." was what he thought.
BACK TO PRESENT
"Argh,I can't handle all of this. Where's my hand held?" thought Fleur. She was under immense pressure. She had a lot of files on her desktop that could not be stolen. She had to fight with all she got,yet she also had to save her grandpa. Fleur was stuck this time for sure.
"Everyone,stop typing." Instantly, everyone's hands flew off the keys. Fleur was letting her aura leak out,that's why they all easily let go. Of course,except for some group of people. Anyway, now the she had everyone's attention ,she was going to get things done.
"Ok,listen up. Old man,don't make trouble. Abe,I need your help. Everybody else, shut up." Silence.
Of course,everyone was shocked. First of all,Fleur being the introvert she is doesn't usually have a commanding tone, so yeah it was me to them. Second, she knows the old man! There was bound to be conflict.
"And why should we listen to you?" said a certain blondie. She was the perfect lady to say the least. One would wonder why of all the departments in the UW she chose IT. Fleur, who rarely ever has to say anything, felt like shooting her head off. "Spoilt brat!" she thought. "Everyone has been working hard to get into the team that you just waltzed into yet you want to order people around. "That's it. Sorry gramps, if making friends means swallowing trash,then I'm sorry." she thought.
"Listen hear,you air head blondie. Unless any of you has a WPM of over 1000, don't bother."
"Tch,stop boasting. You probably slept with some old geezer to get in. Slut!"
No one saw how fast she moved ,but in less than a second, Blondie was sent flying. "Anyone else?" She asked with a slight tilt of her head looking like a Loki from hell. Shocked is an understatement. Emily and gang had their jaws sweeping the floor. This was their sweet harmless Fleur.
"Abe, got your sorry butt over here and help fix this before we lose world secrets." She shouldn't tell for Abe but,she was mgk or in a good mood. These hackers dare to cause trouble,tch, their still too wet behind the ears.
Abe and Fleur sat down at their workstations and all everyone else could see were after images.
"Woah, she is that fast."
"We literally can't see their hands. So fast."
"The WPM is over 1000 by now."
Abe and Fleur worked hard to rewrite everything and managed to stop the cyber attack.
"Phew,thank the lights above."said Fleur.
"Young lady, you have some explaining to do. "
"I'm dead." was all that was in Fleur's mind
