6: The Search
|Bucharest, Romania|
It's been at least a week since we began our search for our target, Nathan Gray. Maria and I have gone to at least three of his hideouts that are in Italy, Cuba, and Japan and we haven't gotten a trace of anything. We both knew that looking for the most dangerous hacker in the world was going to be hard, but we haven't found any additional information on him other than would father gave us, and if we don't find this guy quick, our family's future will be ruined.
The frustration of us not finding a single thing on him made the car ride to the motel extremely tense. Maria and I didn't say a word to each other and for the first time, we didn't even argue. We just wanted to call it a day and head back to our separate motel rooms. And yes, I said separate. We finally got out of the car, and I closed the door to my motel room. Finally, I was away from her.
While getting into my night clothes, I decided to stay up a little bit longer, and see if I can locate this Gray guy. I logged into my computer and saw that Chase had sent both Maria and I a message. Thankfully, no one could really see that it was us, given that we used fake identities. I quickly open the text message that read, " Locations of N.G. within the last 3 months, enjoy".
The attachment he sent had all of Gray's locations within the months of August, September, and October. Judging by the list, from August and September, he seemed to have a sort of pattern he goes by. No matter what time of the month he will always visit Italy at least four times, Japan and Cuba at least three times, and Romania at least five times. But, in the month of October he visited Cuba at least 8 times within the month.
Why does he visit Cuba so much? What's the connection between Gray and the Cubans?
I needed more information on his current traveling. I got back on my computer.
"Anyting on his whereabouts in November"? "Maybe even down to yesterday"? I type to Chase. After I sent the message, I waited for at least 5 minutes before he answered back. "I'll have it within the next hour". He sent. I sighed as I begin to wait on the information, determined to find the location of Nathan Gray. I waited for what felt like an eternity, until I finally saw Chase's email pop-up. I shot up and went to the email as quickly as I could.
"November locations" It said. I clicked on it scanning the list thoroughly. Today's date was November 29th. I saw that he was back to his regular routine and since he visits Romania more than any other country his last trip would for sure be in Romania. On the other side of the list, are the exact coordinates of all locations of places that he often visits.
I typed in the coordinates on my computer and separate warehouses showed up on the screen. They were about 56 or 57 miles away from each other, which could be more of a disadvantage since Gray might have alarms to notify him that someone is looking for him.
I decided to wake up Maria to inform her on what I found. I opened the door, switch on the light, and set my computer on her bed. "What"?! She said sharply. "Gray's coming to Romania". I said. "And how did you find that out"? She asked. "And why are you waking me up at 4 in the morning to tell me"?! She says, snatching her covers back on. "Because we have to leave now, so we can catch him". I said throwing her covers back off of her. "Besides, the locations are at least 50 miles away from each other. If we don't catch him at the first Warehouse, we need to be early enough to catch him at the next one". I told her.
"Listen, I'll give you props on finding him, but do you seriously need me to give you an idea on how to catch him"? She says as she giggled. "I mean go ahead". I said. "Since we're both actually good at our jobs, maybe we should split up, so we can look at both warehouse at the same time". She said. "What about transportation"? I started. "I don't know if you've been paying attention, but we only have one vehicle". I said. "I'll just tell Chase to get us two cars". She said taking out her phone.
"Don't worry, its a burner. I'm not stupid, like you". She said. "Have you told you how much I hate you"? I said. She rolled her eyes.
A few minutes later, Maria hangs up her phone, and turns to face me. "He said to go down to the garage around 9". They'll be in spaces 22c and 23A". She said. "Now that we have the cars, we need to figure out what to do if either of us see him". I said. "Easy, shoot him". She said as her brows furrowed. "What happens if one of us misses"? I asked. "You won't miss, if you aim for his head. Plus, it's an easy kill. This is what Father trained us for". She explained sitting back on her bed.
"Afterwards, we take the information he has on us, destroy it, and we're home free". She continued. "Listen I don't know about you, but I need to get some sleep before 9, so leave". She said getting back under her covers.
I switched her light off and closed the door behind me. As I walked back to my room, I couldn't help but think about how Gray got those pictures of me, after I assassinated Semyonov. It was the only evidence that proved that I killed him, and that I was associated with the Knightwalkers.
Would everyone but Olivia and I be in danger?
Would we have the opportunity to live a normal life?
