"Kaitlin, please call in Mr. Larry, I wish to speak with him"

Said man is sitting on his leather chair in front of his desk as he's smoking a cigar.

His desk was tidy, a wine bottle and a shot of it on his left. On his right, a smartphone with a USB stick sat next to it.

His office consists of a fireplace, and couches, almost like a living room.

The office door slides open, a man walks in. The man has a nametag on the left breast area of his suit, 'Larry Serg'.

"Larry, how's your day?"

"Pretty fine, sir. How is yours?"

"Lovely, thank you. Do you know why I called you in, Larry?"

"No, Sir."

"Larry, the company has had a fair share of its data leaked to several other companies. Of course, the data leaked wasn't too major. However, 3 days ago, half the servers were copied, then uploaded to a cloud server, an anonymous server. Yesterday, we found the culprit."

"Who was it?"

The man smoking the cigar stood up and slowly walked towards Larry, smartphone in hand.

The man sighs.

"You."

Larry's emotions changed. From curiosity to dark, dead, moody, and grim.

"Well, that's too bad."

Larry pulls out a syringe from his breast pocket and stabs it into the man's neck. 

He then injects an unknown substance into the man.

"LARRY WHA-"

'WHAT ON EARTH DID YOU DO TO ME?"

"Relax, you'll be fine. You'll be relieved of your problems."

"Because you'll die."

The man collapses on the floor, drooling, and sweating. Veins, red and visible around his neck and his forehead. His eyes turn red.

After a few more seconds, everything went quiet. Larry walked over to the desk and accessed the computer. After a while, he notices the USB stick and grabs it. As he was about to leave, he noticed the man's smartphone on the floor. Suddenly, he looked pale, as if he was in fear. Larry quickly slipped out of the scene.

A day later...

"Jesus, CyTech? Of all companies? Why?"

"Who's gonna replace Gunsberg?"

"Oh well, the stock market is going to go through changes."

Police forces surround the CyTech Mind skyscraper. Reporters and employees gathered around the barriers.

Meanwhile, the scene shows a crowded underground facility. It seems like the facility is filled with armed men. Military. Crates of rifles, boxes of grenades. 

"Larry, good to see you back."

A man shouts across the room as Larry walks into the frame

"Hey, Cube. So, Gunsberg's dead. I copied all the data from his PC into our servers. Also, there was a USB stick on his table. I didn't have time to check it out so I brought it back. Looks like an old model so I doubt it has a tracker", Larry says.

"Hey! J.K! Check this shit out!", Cube yelled.

A man in a bright outfit walks into the frame. Larry throws the USB stick to the brightly dressed man.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

"Well, it's an old model, that's for sure. Where'd you get this?", J.K asks.

 `

"CyTech. Found it on Heinz's table, so I brought it back because, y'know, curious."

J.K. goes back to his desk and plugs in the USB. Larry and Cube gather around him.

"The hell? This... Biological engineering? Very...Interesting..."

"J, explain"

"Looks like CyTech has been very into biological engineering these days. 'The Iris Project', it's a thing where they're trying to implement tech into the eyeball. It's like Google Glass, but built into your eyes, and better."

"We hit the fuckin' jackpot, for sure! 

"This is really bad. If word got out, it's gonna get militarized."

Out of nowhere, flashbang grenades were thrown into the room.

"SHI-"

Everyone shouts. Chaos took over the scene. Several heavily armored men stepped into the room. Gunshots were heard. Cube, Larry, and J.K ran towards a metal reinforced door and entered the room. Larry pressed a button and the door closes up, several large metal bars locks down the door and burning lasers were deployed, blocking the door.

"JESUS! WHO THE FU-", Cube screamed in fear.

"Shit, the USB, where is it?" Larry panics as he searches his pockets and the room.

"I have it. Look, guys. We might die here, but that doesn't matter. We're criminals, yeah, but the moment this USB stick gets to the wrong hands-"

"Well, J.K, we fucking know that. What do we do no-"

"Cube, I know you're in there."

An unknown voice speaks out from outside the door.

"The servers, every last drop of info."

Loud footsteps slowly fade away.

"Alright, Cube. I know you guys are responsible for Heinz. Props to Larry. How long did it take you to work up to Heinz's attention?"

"The same time it took your mother to stop begging me for my dick. Who the hell are you?"

"Wayne. General of a Private Militia 'ODIN'."

"Why the fuck is a private militia her-"

The reinforced door suddenly disarms itself and goes back to normal. Wayne walks into the room with two other heavily armed men.

Cube pulls out a pocket knife and attempts to attack Wayne. However, he was shot dead before he could even get near him.

J.K and Larry stood silently, staring at Cube's corpse.

"Right, you two. What else did you get from CyTech? CyTech is big, really big. So there must be at least one juicy data from them. So, tell me."

Larry stared at Wayne silently in anger whilst J.K looked around the room, trying to escape the situation. 

J.K slowly pulls out a compact smoke grenade from his back pocket. Then, he throws the smoke grenade right onto Wayne's face. The whole room fills up with smoke. Larry starts coughing and J.K tries to kill Wayne. J.K grabs a pistol from Wayne's gun holster on the side of his hips and aims at Wayne's chest. One of the guards kicked J.K off of Wayne and shoots his leg.

Larry aims for the door and dashed out. Unfortunately, the whole place was filled with guards because it's a private militia and they raided the place. So, why would they just leave when the leader hasn't even left yet?

Larry was immobilized, shot in the legs, and surrounded.

Larry then hears a gunshot from the reinforced room.

Wayne walks out and noticed Larry on the floor.

"Oh, that's where you were."

"Fuck you."

"Okay, one last time. Do you have any other info you got from CyTech? If you do, give it, now, and I might just spare you."

"A few days ago, CyTech had a data leak...It was nothing too...major...But when I killed...Heinz...and I was about to leave...You know what I saw on his phone?"

Larry smiles at Wayne.

"Honor."

Wayne's face switched. He was surprised, breathing heavily as if bad news hit him like a truck. Because it did, bad news did hit him like a truck.

"No, you're lying."

"Even you, a....a private militia general...is fucking scared of him."

Wayne aims at Larry's forehead and pulls the trigger.

The whole room went quiet. Wayne notices Larry holding something in his hand. The USB. Wayne grabs it and examines it.

"Old model..."

Wayne stood up and orders his men to leave. Wayne takes a look at Larry one last time.

"If Honor's back in the game..."

Wayne leaves.
