theory "X" a story by duch(crime)

Monday came fast,he arrived at the office early
as usual and did some little work then plugged
the earphone in the phone port and put it in his
ear.He relaxed back on the brown leather chair
and crossed his legs,with hands behind his
head.He closed his eyes as he enjoys the
music.The music stopped and a call came
through.He opened his eyes, took the phone
from the desk and glanced at the screen;it was
his boss calling.He quickly removed the
earphone,swiped and answered the call.
"Good morning sir."He greeted,sitting properly.
"Good morning Hillary,how are you doing?"A thick
male voice asked from the other end.
"I am fine sir."He replied adjusting the tie.
"That's ok,come to my office when you're less
busy."The voice said and coughed lightly.
"I am not doing anything right now sir,can I
come?"
"Sure."
"Ok sir." He said and ended the call.
He dropped the phone on the desk and stood
up,entered the toilet and peed,came out,took his
sunshade from the desk, wore it and went out of
the office.He stomped to his boss's
office,knocked at the door lightly, waited for
some seconds then pushed the door open and
entered.A dark,stout man was sitting infront of a
large brown italian desk making call.He gestured
on him to take a seat as he continued with his
call.The call lasted for almost twenty
minutes;the man dropped the phone on the desk
and smiled at him.
"How was your weekend?"
"It went well sir."
"That's good.I was called by the minister of
defense last night that they have problem with
some of the systems in their database and the
engineers there were unable to fix the problem,I
want you to go over there and fix the problem for
them;I know you can do it."
"I will try my best sir.What will I tell them when I
get there."
"Tell them you're from Fitch Technologies.That
will be all."
"Ok sir."
He stood up,bowed down for his boss before
leaving the office.He went back to the office and
picked up his phone,laptop bag,car key and other
stuff he would be needding then walked out and
closed the office.He stood by the door of Jamil's
office and whitsled to him.
"Where to this early mormor?"Jamil asked
dropping the pen in his hand on the desk.
"The defense headquarter."He replied flicking his
eyes.
"Big boy."Jamil smiled.
"For where?Are you busy?"
"Not really."
"Mind accompanying me?"
"No oo,you know I don't like see those uniform
men."
"Fear fear."Hillary teased.
"I gree."Jamil said defensively then added:"Only
God knows when you will come back."
"That's true,let me be going.I will call you later."
"Ok."
He closed the door and walked to the
elevator,pressed the button and entered.He
punched the down floor button and began
humming as the elevator descend down.The door
opend and he stepped out.He jogged to his car
and entered then zoomed out of the premises.He
arrived at the defense headquarter an hour later
due to the heavy gridlock on the road and was
stopped at the gate by two heavily armed
military men.
"Who are you and what business do you have
here?"One of the men asked with a stern look,his
hand on the gun trigger in his hand.
"Good morning sirs,my name is Hillary Osagie
and I am from Fitch Technologies."
"Give me a minute."The man said and walked to
a booth near gate.He put the telephone on his
ear and dialed a number then waited for
response.He spoke to someone for some
seconds then dropped the telephone and came
out."Do you have any means of identification?"
"Yes,I have my work I.d card with me sir."Hillary
said and brought out a plastic I.d card from his
pocket and handed it to the man.
The man looked at the I.d card then at Hillary.He
looked at the other military man and nodded.He
handed him back the I.d card as the other man
press a button.The gate opened and he drove
in.He parked his car in the parking lot and came
out.He looked around,admiring the beautiful
designs and how things were going in order.The
security was tight;there were men and women
with arms at every corner of the headquarter.He
took out his laptop bag and walked into the
reception.He greeted the receptionist and told
her his intention.She asked him to sit and wait
as she put a call across to someone.He sat on
the soft cushion and fixed his eyes at the large
television hung on the wall.A man dressed in
military uniform came into the reception and
whispered to the receptionist.Hillary stood up
immediately the lady pointed at him.
"You must be Hillary,right?"The man asked
walking towards him.
"Yes,good morning."Hillary greeted.The man
stretched his hand forward for a shake.Hillary
quickly grabbed his hand and shook him.
"I am George."The man introduced.
"Nice meeting you."Hillary smiled.
"Same here.Let's get to work.Please follow
me."The man said and began walking
away,Hillary picked his bag and followed him
closely behind.
They climbed the stairs to the second floor then
took a left turn.The section was empty and there
was only one door located at the extream end of
the section.The stomped to the door and the
man pressed some numbers and the door
opened.He pushed the door open and entered
then held it for Hillary to enter.The man switched
on the blue light in the dataroom then walked to
a system and turned it on.He bend
forward,waiting for rhe system to finish
booting.Hillary stood behind him staring at the
screen with arms folded.The man stood up right
and turned to face Hillary.
"We initiated a new program to help strengthen
the security in the headquarters but it result into
something else;we couldn't access stored
information.I tried all my best but still it didn't
work."
"It must be a virus."Hillary said putting his hands
in the pocket.The man looked at him,raising his
eyebrown.
"How sure are you it is a virus?"
"We had a similar issue last month.Hackerd tried
to hack into our company database but they
couldn't so they sent a virus to temper with
everything."
"If you can solve the problem then go
ahead."The man said stepping aside.
"It will take time to do it."Hillary said sitting
down on a chair infront of the system.
"It doesn't matter as long as you will solve it."
"I can."
"I will be going,I will be coming to check on you
from time to time.Do you need anything?"Hillary
nodded and began work."Let me warn you,there
are classified information here and it will be wise
for you if you don't temper with them.Leakage of
such info is treason and you know the
punishment for treason."The man warned.
"I am a professional and won't do that."Hillary
uttered alittle bit angry.
The man didn't utter a word,he just turned and
walked out,leaving the door ajar.Hillary hissed
after the man had gone and started work
immediately.True to his word,it took him time
before he was able to solve the problem.He was
about shutting down the system when something
popped on the screen.He peered at the screen
and started reading it.His jaws dropped down as
he read the content;it was a mail from the
accountant to the minister informing him on how
they intend to share seventy million dollars
meant for the purchase of amunation among the
top officials in the headquarters.His eyes flicked
as he gulped down on an empty throat.He closed
the mail and another one popped again.He was
in the middle of reading it when he heard
footsteps approaching.He quickly shut down the
system,packed his things and stood up.He
bumped into George at the door.
"Are you done already?"George asked raising his
eyebrown and looking around.
"Yes."Hillary replied gripping his bag tightly.
"Why didn't you wait for me before shutting down
the system?"
"This is past three;I have been sitting here since
morning."
"Ok,shall we go now?"
"Sure."The man said and looked around
suspiciously.
They walked out of the room with Hillary walking
ahead.He hurried to his car,entered his car and
drove away.He drove straight home,had a bath
and called his boss to bried him.He went to the
kitchen,micriwaved the spaghetti he had
prepared the previous night ate and slept off on
the couch.
