Chapter 27: Dark side of ambition

"Everything comes with a price"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day was also sunny and a little bit hot. When I woke up, it was only 7 AM and Jake was already on his computer.

—Did you even sleep last night? -I said in his ear.

—AH!

He jumped so scared it made me laugh.

—I'm sorry.

—How long have you been there?!

—A few seconds.

He was still getting over the scare I have him.

—I hadn't been scared like this in ages.

—Hahaha.

—Anyway, I have done it.
—We have access to Hanna's phone.
—However, not everything has been unlocked yet.

—That's awsome!
—And have you taken a look at it yet?

—No. I want to leave that to you.
—At least until I have opened up more areas of her Smart Phone.

—Mhm.

—This phone is a huge opportunity for us, Vanysh.
—Please take a careful look at everything.

—You seem to be more excited.

—Lately I've been thinking that we were in a dead end. But you gave me hope.
—You always do.

—I'm really happy to hear that.
—I'm a bit nervous to look at her phone though.

—So am I.
—Do you feel bad doing this?

—Well, It's necessary.
—And I will do this for you.

I'd probably do anything for you anyway.

—I am sorry.
—I do not wish you to do things for me if you feel bad doing them.
—If you do not want to do it, I'll take a look at the contents by myself.

—No, Jake, that's not what I meant.
—I don't feel bad by doing this. It's my job anyway.
—But because I know you don't feel so well with it, I have one more reason.

He smiled.

—Thank you, Vanysh.
—Well then...
—The access is still the same.
—In the meantime, I will work on accessing the areas I haven't been able to yet.

—Alright.

—Good luck, Vanysh.

—Good luck, Jake.

The rest of the group were still asleep. Apparently only me, the morning bird, and jake, the vampire, wake and stay up until this time in the morning.

When I opened her phone through mine, I could only access her instagram, SMS, a map, the browser and some kind of "lucky fortune" app.

I then started opening the SMS, but just like everyone's, Hanna's only had messages from sales, verification codes and useless things.
