New York: 12:05 AM
Chase rocketed into his temporary base and ripped off his mask
“Let’s see if this worked” He said as he impatiently took the USB out of his compartment.
Anxiously Chase plugged the stick into the empty computer, it immediately started decompressing.
“Come on, come on” Chase repeated impatiently.

“Yes! Finally” Chase exclaimed running to his laptop
“What do we have…What!?” Chase yelled angrily “That’s it!?”
On the screen, where two files with no name. That was it.
“That’s all I got!?” Chase exclaimed, as he furiously got up, frustrated and annoyed.
“A week of work and all for two, lousy files with no name! It couldn’t even get the name of the files!”
“Hey, whoa!” Shadow cut in, dodging Chase as he made four clean gashes in the hotel wall. “You know how powerful Tech’s firewalls are, your fortunate to even get that!”
“At the very least look at the files, before you have a temper tantrum!” Shadow demanded obviously annoyed
“Fine” Chase grumbled
He clicked on the first file.
01010100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01000100 01100101 01110110 01101001 01101100 00100000 01101101 01100001 01100100 01100101 00100000 01101101 01100101 00100000 01100100 01101111 00100000 01101001 01110100
That code just kept repeating, across the screen
“What does that mean?” Shadow asked intrigued
“Nothing, it’s nonsense.” Chase said annoyed, as he exited from the file.
He clicked on the other file. Inside where two profiles
“Jerry Wong?” Shadow said, referring to the first profile name
“Wait, I recognize that name! From a long time ago, he works for Tech!” Chase remembered,
“Well click on the profile, see what it says!” Shadow ordered
Chase complied
“Let’s see…” Chase said as he started to read
“Jerry Wong.

‘Transfer’”
“Transfer? What could that mean?” Chase thought out loud
“Is Tech trying to infiltrate Korea? And if so how could this guy help?” Shadow added.
They both sat there in silence, thinking.
“Well, maybe Tech is on Korea’s radar? What if they want to buy from Tech industries and this guy’s part of it somehow?” Shadow said starting to make connections.
“I don’t know…” Chase said hesitantly “Why would Korea get themselves involved with someone like Tech? And besides, Tech mostly sells to organized crime lords, and even then, they’re non-lethal, just stuff for cracking open vaults, and knocking out guards and stuff.”
“No.” Shadow said slow and deliberately. “That’s not what I meant. What if KOREA, wants to buy from Tech industries…”
“No, that’s not it!” Chase denied, finally catching on. “Tech would never sell extremely powerful and dangerous robots to any country!”
“Are you sure about that?” Shadow pried
“Yes! I may not know my dad as well as I thought I did, but I know that he would never do that! Too many people could die.” Chase insisted with a hint of doubt creeping in his voice.
For a moment no one said anything, but that didn’t last long.
“Well, there’s only one way to find out…” Shadow hinted
Chase growled.
