Jayden sits behind a computer. It is not as sophisticated as the Special Force headquarters, but not all ICPA members can get similar facilities. The computer was equipped with two dual touch-screen monitors and was armed with the highest processor in its class. Not the ICPA.
Almost all ICPA items are made by their own teams. The computer does not belong to the ICPA but rather the item that is made as good as possible so that he can run Jayden's wishes. Whoever the equipment provider there must be thumbs up. Jayden appreciates computers and their facilities. Of course, unless their method takes him there.
He himself still could not believe he could be in that room. Yesterday he woke up there facing the familiar white ceiling. Too familiar, even. He knew clearly that the place was none other than the ICPA headquarters. Only, he did not know which ICPA headquarters he was at. All ICPA headquarters have a uniform design. Some say it's for identity, others say they're just too lazy to think of a new concept. Jayden never bothered about it to this day.
Until now, he could not determine if the place was really inside the ICPA headquarters or just an imitation room from his headquarters. The size is in accordance with the standard meeting room.
In general, ICPA meeting rooms have rows of computer tables on the left side, oval meeting tables on the middle side, and projectors on the ceiling. In his room today, the computer table is also lined on the left side even though only one table that actually contains a computer. Others empty. The room did not have windows like the original, only wind holes in all four corners of the room. Small in size, only twenty centimeters. The meeting table in the middle disappeared while the projector was still hanging on the ceiling. Instead, there is a bed. He woke up there yesterday.
Right now, he was there with two burly men. Both of them were nothing compared to Tiger. Even if their burly muscles are exposed by the short-sleeved tight shirt, Jayden believes Tiger can beat them in an instant. The two men were playing cards on the other side of the room. There was a small table docked to the wall with three worn chairs. The situation was in stark contrast to the situation in front of Jayden.
“It's done, huh?” One of them spoke to him.
Jayden did not answer. His eyes should have been able to give them answers.
His interlocutor threw his card on the table, swearing. While others laughed satisfiedly at winning. The first man wakes up violently. His chair nearly fell down when he suddenly stood up.
Jayden understood that he could be an outburst of frustration. He was in a similar condition. Couple times. Stuck with a grumpy muscular person. Jayden spoke while watching the man approach. “You think I'm a snail? Of course I'm done.”
That guy snorted amusedly. His voice was like a bull. The earrings on his nose made him even more similar. “Good. Then, continue!”
Jayden turned around on his swivel chair to see more clearly. “No.”
“Do! If not, you know what the consequences are, ‘kan?” The man scrunched his fingers.
Seeing that, Jayden shook his head. Tiger could make him shudder in horror with a look in his eyes. While the person in front of him at the moment could not even make him think twice about speaking.
“Listen,” says Jayden, “you are not the boss here. I'm your boss's guest. I did his request, not yours.”
“He wants you to rob a bank.”
Jayden nodded casually. “He only asks for a list of customer names and their nominal money. Never a word rob.”
The man in front of him snorted again. “It's only a matter of time.”
As the man was about to turn around, Jayden asked. “Why do you want to work for a boss like him? Money?”
“Why ask?”
“Just curious. I don't think money will mean anything if he dumps you out in the end. You saw how your friends died, ‘kan?” Jayden talks about four mass shooters hired by the same man.
“I don't know them.”
“It does not mean that you will be treated differently. Understand I mean? He can just throw you guys away like those guys. When that happens, I thought your money wouldn't be able to pay for your lives.”
“You talk as if you understand.”
“Actually, I get it.”
Lazily continuing the conversation, the man returned to his friend without giving any response. Friend sneered. As if to remind them that they should not talk to their captives.
Jayden turned back to face the screen in front of him. His right hand felt where he was shot yesterday. He's been shot before. Even his first encounter with Alex also gave him a gunshot wound. Surprisingly, there was never a gunshot scar on his back. Jayden was sure he was shot yesterday. He remembered the sharp and burning taste on his back. However, when he woke up yesterday, he only found a scuff wound where it should have been a gunshot wound.
He actually had a guess. The shot was a fake shot. Instead of using a real bullet, it was just some kind of tube filled with fake blood. When the tube hit him, the shards managed to give him a gunshot wound-like pain. Coupled with fake blood, no one would suspect him in panic. That's guesswork.
Despite the allegations, Jayden had no idea what was really going on. He only knew he was a kidnap victim. He was given adequate facilities and rooms similar to ICPA conditions. He's guarded by two bouncers. He needs a plan to escape. And, he already did.
Alex will know about the virus.
Jayden sent it when he hacked the bank's servers. He could have done more had the computer not been fitted with a strange program. That is, a program that makes it get caught. Jayden realized that his computer was being monitored remotely. Whoever's mastermind knows Jayden's abilities. He's a pretty observant guy and probably close to the ICPA or even the Special Force. The virus is the only way to keep the watchdog from suspecting it. He sent out a similar virus on some other computer as well at random.
Had Jayden finally been able to get out of there, the first thing he would have done was to spread the most shameful thing out of his two guards at the moment. Subsequently, submit all their criminal data to the ICPA. He will make sure the perpetrators who hold him are currently in prison for as long as possible. They mustn't play around with Special Force people. Especially, himself.
