Chereads / Chasing The Life / Chapter 7 - The Fingerprint

Chapter 7 - The Fingerprint

They arrived on a private runaway, and it took almost 2 hours to get there since Indonesia has a huge traffic.

"So this is a CIA jet?" asked Toka.

"No, it's JL Enterprise Jet," Hyun-jae answered.

"I know that Sunny is rich, I never know she billionaire."

Hyun-jae just smiled at Toka's words.

On the other side, Franz is grabbing Reigha arm's, and Kean, Sagi, and Chian are following them.

"Tell me the truth, what the hell happened? Who the hell is capturing me and the kids?" asks Franz.

"You point them as your children? Franz, do you think they are children?" Reigha raises his eyebrow.

"Well, Chian is still a kid. Please, just answer the question, who the hell are those people?"

"I can't tell you their names, but they're the President's personal details."

"The Secret Service? Why? Did you call him, he doesn't say anything?"

"Hey, the one who tells me where you are, it's him, but I can't ask him why he wants you all. You're the one who talk to them, what did they want?"

"Access to the Night Baron," said Chian.

"See, I think they were afraid, even Venice gave back the files, they were afraid that Venice has a copy of the document and saved it into Night Baron."

"But, you know, we all know, Venice never took the files, she took the key to open the files."

"Well I know Chi, we all know, but they want to meet her right?"

"So, what did they want? That day, she took the files from Iza and Collins, even though she opened the files, the key cannot be used again."

"Chi I already knew, she gave back the files to the Intelligence," said Kean.

"Did she?" Chian looked at Sagi.

Sagi nodded. "She gave the files back, I gave it to Seyna, so the President should know that she's already giving those files back."

"If those files are back, why does the President need access to The Night Baron?"

"Rei has told you, Chi."

"Is something happening with Iza and Collins?"

"Franz, you know I can't share the details."

"Did your team find something? And you need files from the Night Baron? Or do you need something there to distract people?"

"Oh come on Chi, you're not a conspiracy geek."

"Well, I can't see where this is going," said Chian.

"But you found something, haven't you?" asked Sagi.

"We do find something, and that's why the Eagle wants us back after 7 years, they need someone who can work behind all the regulations."

"Rei, STI is not black-ops, what the hell."

"I know. Okay, well, maybe I'll need your help later in the future. Seyna smells something fishy around some cases in the past."

"Around intelligence?"

"Ya, and Pras is worried about someone that Ryan leaves for him."

"Is it about the girl?" asks Sagi.

"Yeah, so everyone's a little bit anxious for now."

"Well, I am anxious since you guys told us that Venice is missing. Reigha, I promised my sister that I would not let anyone hurt Viviane, and now she's missing. If something happens to her, Fiona will kill me."

"Well, the Eagle told me the same thing. I can't lose Viviane, she's an asset."

"And the Eagle wants her to get back to Indonesia if everything is settled up," said Kean.

"Hey guys! We need to fly now!" Toka yells from the plane.

"Coming!"

"Chi, are we safe?"

"For now? Yeah, I think we save, I already log in and it gives us time, I also text Mars so he can keep us online for now."

They enter the plane and not much longer, they just fly. Franz can see how Walter and Hyun-jae are anxious about all of this, 4 people are missing and two of them are government assets, if two of them are hurt, they know that Sunny will chase them to the grave.

"So guys, I don't familiar with the Night Baron, can someone explain to me?" Ask Kean.

"No wonder you don't know, you haven't even been in Indonesia for almost a month."

"Well, I'm sorry."

"So, one year ago, Baron and Vic initiated a project, in which we can save our information and exchange the information with some system called the Night Baron, people who can have access to the system are someone who is registered by the maker and has to save something in there."

"So it's more like google?"

"Almost like Google. People who have access to the system if they're not online every 5 hours, will deactivate, they can be active again if the maker permits them."

"Wait, if Baron and Vic initiated the project, Vic can shut down the system until we find the other right? Why do we have to make some sort of scene here?"

"The problem is, I'm not one of the makers, it's Baron and Venice," some voice is popping out and they realize that they have been connected.

"Jay, Jae-young," said Hyun-jae.

"I don't know what to say but we can't locate the main server," Jae-young sounds like he doesn't get sleep for a while.

"Vic is there, why can't you find the main server?" asks Franz.

"Franz, is not as simple as you think, located the main server of the Night Baron, isn't like we tracking someone's phone through their IMEI or phone number," said Toka.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Hey, can I know when Venice is gone?" asked Chian.

"Venice is gone in almost 20 hours," answered Vic.

"Oh God," Toka, Chian, and Sagi shout at the same time.

"What is it? Is there something that we can help?" Ask Vic.

"Well, I hope."

"Walter, how fast can we get there?" asked Sagi

"6 and a half tops, why?"

"Venice is gone for almost 20 hours, the system will crash in 48 hours if one of them is not online. If Baron's still alive that won't gonna happen, but looking he's been AWOL since 6 weeks ago, and we can presume something bad happened to him," Toka trying to explain to the team what would happen if they did not come in time.

"And how can we prevent that?" asks Walter.

"Nothing that we can do unless we find the main server, the server where Baron created the system," Chian answered them.

"But, he put in a satellite," said Hyun-jae.

"Yeah, he is, but still. We need to input additional code so the system won't crash," Toka is trying to make them understand what happened.

"And it's not just a code," said Sagi.

"They put biological security on that," Chian completed their sentence so they could understand what's happening right now.

"Fuck I just realize it, the day that Venice arrived in Seoul she took my, Jay, Sunny, and Lay's fingerprints."

"Yeah, and also me, Sagi, Franz, and Toka."

"Do you know how to find the main server?" asks Vic.

"Is Vence leaving her laptop there?" asks Chian.

"Ah yeah, also her backpack. Is there something we can do?"

"You can do it if you have a part of my finger there," said Chian while he looked at his hands.

"What do you mean?"

"Venice always uses 4 different thumb drives to open her laptop, and she puts my finger into the key so if she's gone I can still open it. It's like two-authentication security."

"So there's nothing we can do for now?"

"No, there is nothing we can do for now. It's just a matter of time, if you can put us on private lands like before, and you guys bring the backpack, I can trace it and we can go to the main server."

"Oke, we will wait."

"Also, don't forget to bring everyone who Venice took their fingerprints. We need all those people."
