Lindsey coughed lightly, attempting to disguise the blush creeping up her cheeks. "My grandma never really said anything, mainly because my dad was always hovering around. And when I tried to get answers from her during our rare alone time, she was always tight-lipped. I guess it had something to do with my dad," she revealed, her voice tinged with a hint of frustration." But... She did tell me his name." She continued. "It is Michael."Alejandro nodded, understanding the weight of Lindsey's words. "Michael. That's a start, at least. Maybe we can look into this together, if you're comfortable with that," He offered, his voice filled with determination. "Sometimes, uncovering family mysteries can be a delicate process, but, you have is the hackers group behind you and a supportive group of friends."Emilia and Zandos nodded in agreement, expressing their willingness to help Lindsey in her search for answers. Queency gave Lindsey's hand a reassuring squeeze, silently conveying her supp
Alejandro turned to her. "AMAZONIAN TECH INC.," he muttered, earning gasps from the group. Now that he thought about it, this AMAZONIAN TECH INC might be related to Lindsey."Does that name ring a bell?" he directed the question to Lindsey.Lindsey was still trying to wrap her head around the fact that there was a company named after her father. "No," she shook her head. "Guess Dad must have kept that away from me," she muttered angrily."So... You have never heard of that company name before?" Alejandro asked, shock evident on his face."No. I have been abroad all my life, and when my parents decided it was time for me to come back home, we stayed in Texas where my dad decided to spend time with Mum and me up until the death of my parents," she disclosed."How long did you and your parents stay in Texas?" Emilia chimed in."A year, and..." she revealed, "..That was where I met my best friend Karen, whose mum was also a best friend of my parents." Lindsey's mouth hung open, and her ey
As they sat down in the living room, Jeff noticed a photo on the mantelpiece. It was a photo of him and Carlos on their first date, smiling and laughing together. He couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia"I still can't believe how long it's been since we went on our first date," he said, his eyes fixed on the photo. "It feels like a lifetime ago.""It does," Carlos agreed. "But even though so much has changed, I'm glad that some things have stayed the same. Like our love for each other."Jeff nodded, his heart swelling with gratitude. "Me too. I'm so glad that I met you Carlos." He hesitated for a moment, then added, "And I'm glad we're still together even with everything going on around us."Carlos reached out and placed a hand on Jeff's arm. "We've been through a lot together, Jeff. We've been through good times and bad. But I always knew that no matter what happened, you will always be the love of my life. That is not something that can be broken so easily."Jeff felt tears we
Carmichael nodded in agreement with Jeff's assessment, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders."You are right Jeff, but I don'thave any person in mind and I don't want to keep looking over my shoulder waiting for that person to strike." Carmichael's voice was full of determination. "I can feel it in my bones, and I need to be the one to strike first."Jeff thought for a moment, trying to come up with a solution. "Have you considered getting more security for your home and office? And maybe CCTV camara that would make you feel a bit safer?"Carmichael shook his head. "I need to catch this person before he does more than siphon my money," he said. "And you are the only person I trust.""I understand,"Jeff said. "But in the meantime, you need to do what you can to keep yourself and your family safe. Don't you think it's worth it to have some extra protection, just until you figure out who's behind this?"Carmichael sighed, knowing that Jeff was right. "I guess you're right. It's not a
Lindsey became even redder, if that was possible. "No, no, no, no," she rushed out, flailing her arms around, while Emilia and Zandos watched the scene with their heads tilted back in confusion.Queency laughed at her reaction before addressing her friends. " I have never seen her so flustered before." She chided."Nonsense," Lindsey said in a rush. "I'm just not used to seeing you guys so affectionate with each other. That's all." She blurted.Alejandro moved to his sister's side and slung his arm around her neck. "You are going to have to get used to it." Alejandro quipped." Of course," Lindsey responded.Queency moved closer to Lindsey. "Have you forgotten that we are brothers and sisters?" She muttered quietly.Lindsey gasped when she remembered. "I guess the information must have slipped my mind," she mumbled quietly. "Sorry.""It's okay," Queency stated. "Just don't tell Emilia and Zandos."Lindsey made the motion of sealing her lips."If she is not your girlfriend, then what i
As they held each other, a sense of tranquility settled over them. It was a reminder that no matter the challenges they faced, their love and support for each other would always be a source of strength.********"Sure thing, Travis," Zayn replied before heading to the storage room to retrieve the pictures. As he sorted through the photos, he diligently categorized and labeled each one before finally finding the ones he was looking for. He made sure everything was ready for Lindsey to review.After finding the pictures, he entered the room, Zayn smiled and placed the photos horizontally on the table. "Here you go, all set for you, Lindsey. I hope you can identify them," he said, his attention on Lindsey.Lindsey nodded before turning her attention to the photos sprawled on the desk, her hands on her jaw as she intently stared at them. Within minutes, she pointed at three out of the five pictures in front of her. "These three are among the kidnappers," she stated confidently."Are you
"I'm not entirely sure," Zayn replied, rewinding the footage for a closer look. "It almost seems like someone was strolling across the parking lot." He pointed at the screen, trying to catch the shadow's movement to figure out what it might be. "Do you want me to enhance the image to see if we can get a clearer view?"Queency and the rest of the team nodded As Travis quickly brought up the image enhancement tools on the computer. He adjusted the contrast and brightness, hoping to reveal more details in the shadow. After a few moments, he turned the screen back to Queency and the group, pointing at the clearer image of a person walking across the parking lot, his face hidden.Zayn, alongside Travis continued enhancing the image, zooming in on the person's face to reveal any discernible details. As they worked, Travis spoke reassuringly to Alejandro and the team, "I'm doing my best to enhance the image and bring out as much detail as possible. We'll get to the bottom of this and find ou
They arrived at their destination twenty minutes later. Queency's heart was racing as they headed to the front entrance, after showing the security at the gate a forge ID card. The doors opened to a large atrium with sofas and a reception desk. "Alright, team," Lindsey''s voice came through the earpiece of each team member. "It is show time. I've got visual and audio feeds from all of you. Be careful guys.""Do you have an appointment?" the receptionist asked with a smile."We're here to see Mr Carmicheal." Alejandro replied with as much authority as he could muster."Do you have an appointment?" The receptionist asked, smiling.Alejandro looked at his team. "I guess they really do have a Mr. Carmichael," he muttered to them before turning back to Zyra, the receptionist. "No, but this is of utmost importance," he said firmly, emphasizing the significance of their request. "I'm sorry, but I cannot allow you to see Mr Carmicheal without an appointment. I can make one for you, if you w
