'What's going on?' I mumbled as I read the message that was visible on that flickering phone.

'This is frightening,' I looked at the hacker that kept sending me some mumbo-jumbo that was hard to be decrypted. He sent those text as if he was talking to someone that understood advanced technology.

He uploaded a file to my phone. It could be a virus, it could be a malware, either way, I wanted neither on my phone. He needed to get out of my phone or I would be forced to track him down myself.

The phone rang and I picked it up. The call came with a very distorted face. It was another trademark of a hacker, he needed your help, but he would always play it safe.

Lynn: ”What do you want?”

Unknown: ”I need your help in infiltrating a government facility. It won't be easy, but I'll pay you well.”

Lynn: ”How much is well?”

Unknown: ”Depends on how long you can keep the backdoor of the server open. I'll send the tutorial on your phone. Good luck.”

????????????????????????????

You need to gain access to the firewall located in this building with the device that I left in the Bedford park in the old town. That tool should help you access the firewall and broke through the system. Once you're inside, plug your phone to any computer and I will do the job.

You need to fight the firewall by using the command that I will give through your smartphone. Good luck.

Reward: [20,000$-30,000$]

I saw and got the detail of the mission. I immediately looked at my phone and switched to my combat loadout. I bought a ballistic helmet and a ballistic plate carrier as a precaution. The SCAR was my main weapon now and I liked that way that it was one of the one-shot one kill weapons.

I read it carefully. The unknown man told me to go to an administration building and hacked into the admin computer. The job should be a piece of cake, but I wouldn't underestimate a job. That was why I was preparing with my equipment first.

I put some grenades inside of my chest rig and some C4 in my magazine rig. I also prepared a crowbar in case I needed to brute force my way into the office. I put the kit inside of my backpack and headed downstairs with the stuff on my back.

I doubt that Echo would join the operation since it wasn't beneficial for him, but I was positive that he would ask for his cut once I was done with the job. I needed to use public transportation since there was no car that I could use. I walked to the nearest bus stop to catch a bus that was heading to their destination. There was one final message from Sierra. It was the message that would make sure that I didn't give up in the middle of the job.

I walked with pride to the bus stop. I waited for the bus besides an old man that was very surprised to see me. The expression on his face clearly tell that he was uncomfortable seeing me.
