Chapter 30
Thorfinn Pov:
Patrol Boats?! I was never informed of this. "We need to go, quickly," I say, diving directly into the water and swimming for the ship. First thing I do is go down to check the anchor, if what he said is true, they might have, yep. They have a special type of net to catch anchors and stop people from taking off. It also alerts the boats.
I go down and unhook to anchor as there is no getting it out of this in time. I swim back up and meet Hiccup and Astrid on the boat as they bring the chain up. I start us off, I start the engine as a light shines towards us. "Duck and hide," I tell the two.
I proceed to start us off away from it as they yell over a speaker, "Whose there? Stop the boat and surrender!" If I give my identity up we are as good as done for. I need a code, a code, that's it!
"Charlie, Gama, Kilo, Echo, Yankee, Lima, Oscar, Juliett, Foxtrot, Zulu!," I shout. We wait a minute before hearing back from them as we continue to head away.
"Code received and Invalidated, see you another time soldier!," They yell back. With that, I realize what I am supposed to say.
"You as well, Dragon of Old, the one who watches for threats," I say.
"Who protects the nest," They respond, meaning code received. They invalidate codes after use so they cannot be used again.
We sail until we reach my humble abode on the island. The underground rock beach where we first set off from. No-one knows its location and it is well hidden. Docking the boat, they grab their bags and jump off.
"I will be back at the island. Head out and close up when you are ready. If you walk to town, you will reach it in the morning around 8:00. From there, head to the school and go to your dorms. Everything is in the binders I gave you along with money. If something happens, take the spare boat and come back. But make sure no-one is in the bay when you go into the waterfall," I inform them. They nod, and I leave to head back to my home.
Hunter Pov:
Well, I guess it is my time to head to town. I already got my dorm set up, I just need to grab my stuff and go. I alerted them that I was needing to go grab some stuff and that I would not be staying the night. They confirmed and now it is time to head back.
I have my laptop and other supplies here that I need to bring in my bag. There is a multiple of things that I cannot let looters get their hands on. I have made a company in the long time that we have been in hiding. It is of course, under an assumed Identity. I plan to transfer it to my real identity when the time comes. But it has net millions that has gone into Jake's building of his OS.
The company itself is set to release the OS in a few months, maybe longer. The company focuses on Cyber security and other things. Plus, since I am using Jake's OS, code name RH. It needs to have a Dragon Motherboard, what my company is currently producing. The RH stands for Rumble-horn to my knowledge, but we don't tell other people that a lot.
On the site, planned for the future, RH stands for Rumble-horn OS system as I said. Something else that will be said as well, is it protects against cyber attacks on it's own, wearing down enemies that attack. It is the best in Cyber security so far and the only motherboard it is compatible with, Dragon, helps prevent tampering without the code needed. If you are having trouble and can't work on it, bring it in an we will fix it for you. But, if it is Stolen, we will know as an Alert is set out when it is moved from it's location without the key.
That is what I am planning anyway. Grabbing my bag, I scale the inside of the cavern and get to the ledge. I throw the bag into the hole, and jump back into the water. I swim out and up looking around before climbing up, making sure there are no boats nearby. There is only one, leaving as well.
From what I have gathered, a little of what happened to our house and us was said 3 years ago. "A terrorist group attacked a group of children living at a house, 700 Viking avenue. They had emergency escape routes under the ground from what we can see. Upon further investigation, we were unable to tell where they led. The entire tunnel system was destroyed," Was what the news started with.
"It seems that the terrorist's hit a gas pipe in the house and it blew up. Sending a incendiary blast down the tunnels, killing the kids inside. To our knowledge, only a few managed to escape. One got to the cliff, narrowly avoiding the fire. But was shot down by terrorist's in the water while having a broken leg," Was what happened to me, they said anyways.
The others, are a little bit interesting though.
