The Versatile
Chapter 26's

"It's been unused for a long time, but I'm sure it's still there" Hamish said without hesitation.

"How do we get in there? I'm sure Haikal must have prepared a surprise for us. He must know that you know the place."

"Yes and the place have very strict security. If you can get into the network then it'll be easy. A lot of hackers can't break through the second layer."

Josh's eyes are rolling. He knows hackers are his ability, maybe he can break through his defenses. "I'll try to get into his network."

"All right, we're leaving in two hours. Night is the perfect time to infiltrate" Hamish disappeared from behind the door.

There's Josh in this room. It's been a long time since she tried to get Hazel out of prison she hasn't seen her father and mother. And for the first time she missed her family, all this time she had never felt that kind of thing.

Maybe it was because he had never been away from his family. Maybe everyone has never felt the same way as himself, of course they think too much about themselves than the people around him. Even his own family.

Josh looked forward and felt the air coming out and going into his lungs. Then he exhaled and let his lungs run out of air, at that very moment he felt out of breath. Josh breathed back, thinking maybe this is what other people feel when people around him don't care. It was just that they did not feel it and allowed the pain to improve on its own, but if this were applied to his breathing then he would die.

Josh looks ahead, imagining a life in the past filled with concern for others. And he also imagined if the past changed and the future changed. Josh sighed, he glanced at his ID and showed six o'clock past thirty minutes. He stood up and went towards the glass room looking for the tools he needed.

A set of laptops and various other tools filled his hands. Hamish is nowhere to be seen when Josh needs him. Finally with great difficulty he brought the tools himself into the living room, he preferred to work in an open place rather than in the room.

After all, he will feel boredom if working in the room. Josh opened his laptop and started working. Millions of letters and numbers appeared when he had just entered the first tier. When he managed to get into the first tier he was actually unhappy.

"I think it's too easy to get through. For some hackers this ordinary security is very easy," said Josh while observing the letters that continue to appear. There are things that he thinks are strange.

"If this second layer is arguably unreasonable," said Josh.

The first layer that is so easy then goes into the second layer that is difficult not to play. Even hackers who are very skilled will be in trouble. Josh closed his eyes for a moment. As he opens his eyes a red mark appears on his laptop, Josh quickly turns off his laptop and disconnects it.

"Damn!" yell Josh. Its existence was tracked when it entered the second layer.

"Wait!" josh suddenly said. It was as if he had found his deadlock point. "That's what keeps people from making it into the third tier. When we enter the net, they will track us, especially when they reach the second layer. But actually this is just a trap that actually the third tier does not exist at all. And if we go back to the first layer we can see the letters and numbers that appear, while when the second layer we can only see the actual numbers he is looking for our location." Now Josh is getting excited.

He turned his laptop back on and started all over again. Which is the question now. How to enter the first layer to finish without having to enter the second layer? It was very difficult for him to stop the network that kept flowing automatically.

Josh thinks hard, the air's getting warmer inside. Hamish had just come out of his room, I don't know what he had done in the room. It could be that she was sorry that Hazel was caught or that she was trying to rest, clearing some of her mind before it was tainted again and making her brain scream in pain.

Hamish sees Josh fiddling with his writing and numbers on his laptop. His stomach rang, indeed since last afternoon he had not eaten. Her appetite is gone since Hazel was captured not even a mountain, but she doesn't want to be dehydrated.

Josh sees Hamish going into the kitchen with his starving face, Josh feels the same way and only realises he hasn't touched food since noon. But he still did not move from his chair. Instead he asked Hamish to see the results of his work.

"Hamish look at this! I can almost get into their network" shouted Josh from the living room.

Hamish opens the refrigerator door. "You made it to the third tier?" he screamed from the kitchen.

"No, look here! You wouldn't expect that" Josh asked.

"You haven't got his third coat? Then you're still far away Josh."

"Look at it first. I found out the thing that all hackers can't get into the third layer."

While carrying a bottle of Hamish water approached Josh. Ever since you met Hazel she never breathed hydroair, maybe Hamish also forgot the taste of inhaling the nutritious vapors. Hamish stood behind Josh and squinted his eyes at Josh's laptop screen. Even Josh hasn't made it to his first layer yet, but this time he doesn't know how Josh is on the other side. Again Hamish squinted his eyes to clarify what he saw.

"Josh what kind of defense is that? I never even saw her." Hamish sat right beside Josh and positioned himself on the back of his back.

"I don't know either, you know they almost tracked us down. When I got to the second tier, there was a red mark that I was pretty sure they were tracking our location. Especially when the second layer there are only numbers that allow us to press the button of our geographical location," explained Josh who then took a water bottle from Hamish's hand and sipped it.

"I'm more prepared than you think." Hamish quipped Josh.

Josh's eyes were in disbelief. "What's? You don't believe it?" ask Hamish. Wherever he goes back to his room. Josh thinks he's angry, but it looks so weird that people like him get angry just for being trivial.

A few minutes later Hamish returned with his full outfit and full kit. "OK I believe," Josh just glanced a little then returned to his job.

Silence silences everything, quiet is common but silence like this keeps Hamish awake. "Yah! You hear that?" Hamish opened his ears completely. "Light of foot! Josh get everything out of here. You're gonna get us caught!" Hamish started to panic.

"I don't think it was tracked! I don't know."

"Have not said much! You want us caught!" Hamish was laughing at the scattered stuff Josh was carrying.

"Trust me, we won't get caught." Josh walks into Hazel's father's study. Josh remembers this house is similar to Hazel's in America, but he doesn't remember it all being the same. When Josh was trying to find an underground road like he did with Hazel, it wasn't there.

"What are you doing, Josh? There's no time. We gotta get out of here!" Hamish.

"Wait on! I know our way out" Josh said suddenly. She remembers the moment the open glass room made the same sound when Hazel opened the door to the basement.

Josh runs towards the glass room, Hamish follows him from behind. Josh then locks the glass room door after Hamish enters. Actually Hamish does not know the meaning of all this, he wants to ask a lot of questions, but Hamish prefers to keep it later.

Josh revolves around this place, Hamish also follows Josh even though he actually does not know what Josh means. The sound of footsteps grew louder and clearer. Hamish froze and opened the glass chamber.

He took the closest weapon he could take, the dumbest thing he ever did, not even knowing the function of that weapon. A strange sound appeared as Hamish pulled the weapon. Josh smiled slightly, he knew this was the way out. The glass rotated and gave rise to the passageway leading down the stairs.

"I told you we'd be safe" Josh smiled broadly.

They both went inside there was a place to put the same weapon hanging on the side. Hamish put the gun down and hung it there. The door was closed and locked but he accidentally activated an explosive device. The same voice when the first time this room can be open appeared, his voice was very clear and was heard throughout the house.

"You've activated the explosive. This house will be destroyed in 10 seconds."

The voice froze Josh and Hamish for a moment. And they only came to their senses when the voice reappeared.

"Ten, nine," the voice kept counting.

Josh and Hamish ran to somewhere near the end of this underground passageway. The sound of explosions was heard from behind them. The first explosion, the second explosion, and the third explosion. But the explosion didn't affect the hallway, but Josh and Hamish were still running.

With a beheading Josh ran after Hamish who was tight not playing. He doesn't even look exhausted. Arrived when they reached the end of the hallway with two branches. Hamish has chosen the right side road that says come in. Josh just follows from behind, his run getting faster to match Hamish.

The exit is increasingly visible, and Josh is increasingly exhausted and unable to reach Hamish. Hamish has been far ahead and left Josh.

"Damn! Hamish!" call Josh from a distance. I don't know if Hamish heard it or not. Josh was stumbling along, with the rest of his strength walking towards Hamish.

Hamish stood still at the end of the hall. Their path was finished, there was only a small space measuring one by one meter. Josh entered the room and did not expect the road to end.

“Only this? so far we've run, just stopped here? and there is no way out?” grunts Josh.

Suddenly, their feet felt glued. They could not move, a moment later the room turned and went up. They had reached the end of the street where the city center was. They came out of a public telephone with a two-way glass. People can't see them from the outside, but they can see people from the outside.

Telephones are rarely used. Usually used if their ID is being blocked or damaged or is being extended. Josh heaved a sigh of relief, they had escaped the people who were chasing them. Now all they have to do is hack into the defense system where Hazel was interrogated.
