"Go play for a bit, kids, Mommy's got to take a call. Langston, Daddy will join you soon after he wraps up his work, be a good boy." Despite his impatience, Langston managed only a nod.

"Hello? Byte 7." "Everett's got hold of the video from your flash drive. He hacked into my computer. If I'm not mistaken, he's destroyed the evidence." "What?!" Dorothy felt her mind go blank.
