The Zetta Sonic
Turbulances

It's a liability that Alex doesn't trust Cody. Curiosity makes him unable to forget the call. After giving the order to White, the call on Customer Service Nile App was connected. Alex lets White help him get through all the questions of the system until he is finally connected to a human.

The voice across there was the voice of a gentle and friendly woman. [Nile App Customer Service. Hello, good night. Is there anything we can help you with about the app you are using?]

There was a moment of doubt when Alex answered him. “I'm looking for a baby basket.”

No answer for a moment. [Please wait a minute.]

That communication connection entered a pause. Nile App twists a carefree connect tone. Instead of making me happy, Alex was upset. He thought maybe the ‘baby’ basket in question was some kind of emergency code when Cody was in danger. If that is true, then now he is the one in danger.

[Hello, thank you for waiting.] The woman's voice was suddenly cheerful. [Congratulations! You have discovered the hidden features of our game. The gift will be sent to email immediately. Can you name the address?]

Alex is caught between doubt and pleasure. It doesn't seem like a code that Cody's in danger. Then, what? After providing the email address, the connection was turned off. White's turn is talking.

[There's a new message going to Killer Bee's email. Do you want me to help check if there's a virus in it?]

“Ya, do.”

White remained silent. The screen panel that now says the name just flashes slowly.

While waiting, Alex has come off the toll. He doesn't really know where to go. At first, he thought of returning to the crime scene, his school, Wood Peak. On the road, he hesitated. Still vividly remembered in his mind the sight and horror of it. His heart was pounding faster each time those memories rose to the surface. Know, his eyes are wet.

Then, Alex thought about going to the airport. There, he could buy a ticket anywhere to chase the Baron. But it was a stupid deed. At the Special Force headquarters, there is a special plane that can carry it without the need for a ticket.

Later, Alex thinks of visiting the ICPA's special prison. Before he gets there, Alex calls Cody. The plan changed too.

White is back on. [Covering done.]

“What is safe? What's it all about?”

[A tracking program.]

“What do you mean?” Alex is worried again. If it turns out to be a program to track its existence, then the conditions are not favorable.

[Sorry. My system forbids to activate it. This program could be dangerous to my system and the ICPA system. Do you want me to call Jayden for help?]

“No. Not necessary. Don't contact him.”

[That's a little hard for Alex to do. Jayden had been listening to this conversation from the start.]

“Wait. What?” Alex sighs. Turning his eyeballs, Alex pulled over on a dark and lonely road. He was alone on a big road on the outskirts of town. Alex took a deep breath, calming his heart. “Jayden. You there?”

[Yup.] Jayden's voice finally sounded.

The screen is back on. White disappeared in the back. On the screen now appears Jayden's face. Doctor Vanessa is behind him. One hand held the back of Jayden's chair.

Alex sighs. He brought his head closer to the wheel. “I know you guys will be mad at me.”

Doctor Vanessa chimed. [Yes. Sure oes. We're all worried about you. I told Nadira. I regret. Should've given you sleeping pills.]

Alex did not dare to answer.

[We're afraid you'll do something reckless, Alex. This morning was not normal for anyone. In fact, for a Zetta Sonic.] Doctor Vanessa softened. [Please. Come back here. We'll put together the plan.]

“Nadira has no plans.”

[So do you.]

“No,” sahut Alex fast. “I have a plan.”

[Yes.] Jayden spoke up. [But, that's a good plan.]

Doctor Vanessa frowned at him, so did Alex. The two waited for Jayden to outline with a grin on his face.

[‘This baby’ basket is a kind of parasite that attaches to every Nile App system. Apps, games, and even websites. She spreading baby — in — quotes as parasite. The baby sticks tightly to the user. Because it is not harmful and small in size, this baby is not considered a virus.]

“Wait. What do you mean Nile App makes it a forerunner to viruses?”

[I don't know about that. It's more like the rest of the forgotten data. Then, there are those who put their activation in the game. Maybe this is just a fad programmers Nail App and Cody. It's like a game in a game. I don't know. The point is, now we can use this baby basket.]

Doctor Vanessa hastily interjected. [This is not my field. But, is this safe for ICPA systems?]

Jayden, still grinning. [Don't worry, doc. I'm so much better than whoever made this baby basket. In fact, he was no match for Killer Bee.]

[Why do they use the term baby?]

[Maybe because of its small size?] Jayden laughed. [Quiet, doc. I'll take care of all of us.]

[How to use this baby basket? I can't imagine what that has to do with Alex—'s plan]

“Finding Baron,” says Alex.

[So, you think Baron plays games like Alex?]

“No. Nile App makes many applications. He also has many subsidiaries. Most likely Baron ever downloaded one of them.”

[You mean, he's infected? That kind?]

“Iya, let's just say so.”

Doctor Vanessa shook her head. [I don't understand. Why bother like this? Caitlin told us where the Baron and the hotel are. Besides, he's not here. He was at the airport last night and indeed left the country. Emil checked it out, didn't he?]

“No. He must be here.”

[How do you know, Alex?]

“I didn't know until this morning. Explosion at Wook Peak. I'm sure he's here. Baron won't let Caitlin be inside the ICPA headquarters once we find out her identity. He's gonna kill me. First with poison then with bomb.”

Jayden opens a new window in Alex's car screen. [Your guess is correct. I found Baron's cell phone in the middle of town.]

Alex starts moving the wheel. His car returned to the highway at high speed. “Where is he?”

[Hey, that doesn't mean you can go straight there. I'll send you the location once our robot gets there.]

“You haven't given him a name?”

[It's a big deal?] Jayden also nodded. [Listen, if the Baron was there, he must have had another surprise for you. Don't be reckless. For a while, stop in a safe place.]

Alex clucked in annoyance. “Just tell me where he is, Jayden!”

“Patience! I'm checking the location. I thought the baby was a little nervous because he detected it near you.”

White is back on. [Warnings of the collision in three seconds.]

Not yet able to understand what White said, Alex saw Zet-Arm react. Uniforms are back on]
