On the other end of the line, Byte 7 watched helplessly as his screen initiated the system's self-destruct sequence, ticking up from 1% to 2%.
Each increment represented a night's worth of his hard work.
"It's over," Everett said, his voice detached, as chilly as a winter breeze.
"Wait a second." Byte 7 shouted desperately. "I'll give it to you, just stop."
Satisfied with the response, Everett pressed the pause button on his own computer.
Byte 7 thought he was the king of the cyber world, but he was about to learn a tough lesson — there's always a bigger fish.
"Everett, can you tell me how you managed to track down my server?"
"You want to mentor my son, Langston. That requires my approval."
"The laptop I gave Langston might have been compromised by your virus, but at the end of the day, it's my laptop."
And his son, Langston, was ultimately his own.
After hanging up, Everett opened his computer's main screen.
Byte 7 sent over a video file shortly after.
Just from the blurred figure on the thumbnail, Everett didn't need to watch the video to know the content.
Heather hadn't lied.
She, and indeed they, were all involved.
Everett closed his eyes and sat in silence for a long while before slowly opening them again.
Byte 7 sent another message. [The fairness Dorothy asks for isn't unreasonable. You can't do what you want to do just because the culprit is your mother.]
He raised his hand and lightly tapped the keyboard.
[My family, my business. Not yours.]
Everett's fingers hesitated over the keyboard for a moment before a pop-up window appeared on the screen.
[Are you sure you want to permanently delete this file?]
