The Following Takes Place Between 2:00 AM and 3:00AM

2:19:42 AM

Craig, a hacker recruited by the Mastermind, looked at his computer display and winced. Craig was a gun for hire, figuratively speaking. He loved participating in chaos to the extent that he considered accepting his position in the Mastermind’s organization without pay, just for the thrills. But soon realized his skills demanded a certain grade of pay.

“You’ve got to see this,” Craig said. “The dumb asses are improvising.”

The Mastermind approached slowly, anger building. “What’s the latest foul-up?”

Craig reversed the security log several minutes. The hidden surveillance cameras in the warehouse soon revealed that Victor had recently returned with Gordon Reeves in tow, after taking care of his secret lover.

The Mastermind activated bluetooth. “Marcos, give me one reason not to kill you and your team. I clearly instructed you to leave Reeves alone. You have jeopardized this entire operation. And that will not go unpunished.”

“I can explain, " Marcos said. The line went dead. Marcos shuddered.
