At Hawk's Surveillance room;

Rose entered the room in baby steps, vigorously rubbing her eyes. David saw her and chuckled, "Miss Techie, good morning."

She peered at him with a frown, "Good Joke! It is almost evening."

David shook his head and let out a humorous chuckle. Rolling her eyes he turned towards one of the guys on the computer and purred, "Hey  bub, what's the situation out there?"

The boy turned towards her with a serious face, "I.. I don't know. Just..."

"What happened?"

The boy turned his neck towards the screen and waved his hand in the air. Rose read through his seriousness and rushed towards the screen.

After a brief moment of scrutiny, she ironed out her expression and her eyes balled out.

"What's wrong?" David asked from behind her.

Without a reply, she pulled out her phone, "Jereff, can you come up here? There is something, you need to know."

After three minutes,

Jereff darted inside the surveillance room,

"What is it?"

He walked up towards Rose and peered at the screen.

"The shipment," she started in a meek voice,  "which was about to reach yesterday.."

"Wait!" he pulled up his forefinger and turned towards Rose, "What do you mean by 'about to reach'? Rose, the ship is already running late. And this is the first time, we are deviating off the chart."

"Exactly. The shipment did not reach the destination, and..we are unable to trace it even."

"The Hell!" When did it happen?" he turned towards the screen and leaned over it."

"It's been an hour." the boy on the controls responded.

"And, you did not even bother informing me?" Rose shouted.

"Wait!" Jereff stopped her, "This is  not the time.

Rose hung her head low, "I believe something is wrong. It can't just vanish in thin air."

Jereff closed his eyes and thought for a while, before he spoke, "Jackson should know about this."

"Boss?" she argued in a worried voice, "I am sorry but...

"He is good, Rose." he cut her off, "At this point we should focus on fixing the things which can be fixed."

Rose huffed shallow and nodded to herself.

"Jereff!"

David's panicked voice echoed through the hall. Jereff and Rose rushed towards him.

David placed a shaky finger on a certain point on the screen, "The Ship!" the terror in his voice was clear, "It exploded!"

"F*ck!" Jereff hissed and darted across the room. "One of our ships been blown down, other is out of the track. What the hell is going on?"he roared.

"WHAT'S WRONG IN HERE?"

All looks up at the door, to find Jackson standing at the door clearly questioning the sudden excitement inside the surveillance room.

"Jack!" letting out a shaky exhale, "The shipments. Someone is messing that up."

Jackson furrowed towards Jereff, "What do you mean?"
