Chapter 18
Ryan
I went to work as normal the next day, I didn’t know what time Dom would call, but I made sure to keep my cell on me at all times. Even when I went to the john which was f*****g disgusting. I waited for the call all day, but it didn’t come until later on that night. I was just waiting on my takeout to be delivered- tacos this time, when my cell rang.
“It’s me” Dom said as soon as I answered.
“I’m sending you a pack via courier. It should be arriving in the next 30 minutes. Read that. Your job will be in there. All the information you need is in there. I haven’t told you everything because if this does blow up, then I want to keep your name out of it as much as I can, hence the paper trail. As soon as you have read it, burn it. I’m guessing you have access to more than one computer?”
“Yes, I do” I confirmed.
“Good. Use the one laptop and then throw it away. You will be able to buy more with the money I am paying you.”
“Fine. Will do.”
“Good. Call me when you have destroyed it. I will tell you what is going to happen from there.”
He hung up. I grabbed a beer as I waited for the courier and takeout. I was waiting for around 15 minutes before the courier arrived. I tipped the dude, grabbed the package and went to sit back down. The tacos would be here soon, so I decided to wait before going through it.
I sat down around 20 minutes later, tacos in the bag and the documents laid out in front of me. It took me around 2 hours to finish the last document. Basically, he wanted me to hack into a server to reach an account. Then I needed to set up another account to hack into the bank database and find his numbers. A lot more jargon later, and I would then be passing the numbers along to Dom so he could do the transfer. Hopefully if I covered my tracks well enough, it wouldn’t come back to bite me on my f*****g ass. I called Dom as soon as I was finished. We arranged that I was going to use one of my older laptops so I could wipe all the data and bring it back to factory settings. We were going to start it tomorrow night. Then I would overrun the data to burn the software out. That would make it completely untraceable then.
The next night, I sat waiting for the signal from Dom to let me know it was time to go. He had someone else with me who was working on the same thing on the other side of town; it was just another safety precaution. At 8:37, my cell buzzed, alerting me to a message. “Really Enjoyed the Award show Daisy, thanks again. Yana x”. It read; this was the prearranged message that I knew. Like an acrostic poem, the first letter of each word spelt out the word ‘Ready’. I worked for around an hour, sending and receiving cryptic messages back and forward with Dom each time we broke through another security measure. Dom would then forward the messages back and forward to the other person. After another hour- we were done. We were able to find the details that Dom needed. He had another tech person with him who would enter the details through the system and transfer it through 5 different offshore account’s, so the money was untraceable. We had done it. My bank account alerted me to an incoming transfer that I needed to accept, $10,000. A message pinged straight after I accepted. “Same time next week. The courier will deliver the next one in 6 days at 8:30pm. Thank you.”
I had $10K to spend!
