*April 11th, 8:09pm—Aaron's Sercet Safehouse
The secret safehouse... more like a saferoom... welcomed in the Ghost. The same steel walls, same concrete smell, and same coffee scent. Classic for the Ghosts. Classic enough for Tony's ghost to rise.
(I've used Ghosts too much!!!!!)
The Ghosts occupied the room, waiting for the multi-millioniare/ billioniare Bellingham to appear. A large-sized gold table with silver-made chairs was where this Ghost sat down.
(Damn....These Ghost bout to get comfy.)
Finally, it was time for the meeting.
"Black Phantom. Level 9. Fallback protocol was engaged."
(Finally)
"Welcome... Ghost," Tony(kai) warmly said. "Now for an introduction. I'm sure you're all wondering who this hero is..."
> And he turned out to be
>You know the name
> Tony Bellingham.
(Henry Danger classic opening)
"In time I realized that being an heir—"
"Quit it, would you? You could get arrested for copyright. You're crazy," one of the members interrupted.
"Well, I have enough money to get out....So doesn't really matter. Tony with a huge smirk replied
"Mast... I mean Tony." Those words slipped from the other Ghost's mouth.
"Really, Aaron? You had to blow the cover?" A somehow surprised look filled Tony's face.
The Ghosts were no other than Aaron and Alina—the dark bob chick and the 43-year-old judo ninja warrior with his sparkling dark hair and grey ones popping out. Two out of the four members of "Operation Deep Vault. And of the GHOSTS" It wasn't a surprise that they were Tony's.....well Kai's only trustworthy friends.
"Well... thanks for blowing it. We could have kept the readers hooked with the mystery Ghosts," Alina said, looking at Aaron. "Anyway, that stupid protocol name? We ain't using it again."
"Sure, whatever you sayyy," a sloppy reply came from Tony.
"And why are we using this location again?" Alina asked.
Tony grinned a little. "What's wrong with here?"
"Well... nothing apart from the normal bad Wi-Fi, a concrete smell that doesn't stop, and the cof—"
"C'mon, what do you wanna say? Have a problem with Aaron's coffee?" Tony looked at her smugly.
"Nope, not me. His is kinda good."
The chit-chat atmosphere was cut short when a mysterious presence entered the room. The dark long hair, beautiful purple eyes, elegant white dress, black high-heels, Louis Vuitton-made handbag, and gold-glittering earrings. Of course, it was her—Mia Suzumia.
Tony wondered in thought for a bit, captured by Mia's beauty, before snapping himself back.
"Tony? Boss? Quit staring at her," Alina said.
"Welcome our newest member. Mia... Mia Suzumia."
"Miss Suzumia, good evening," Aaron said in a loyal, soft voice.
Before Mia could speak, she was cut short by Alina.
"Mia. Mia Suzumia in the flesh? What are you doing here? She's not supposed to be here. When did she become a Ghost?"
Tony looked back. "Well... Dent is also after her dad's business. Remember Mr. Akira Suzumia? Dent wants Bellingham Industries destroyed—or rather bankrupt—so he can possibly take the money. That's what he wants with Suzumia."
Confusion filled the room.
Alina spoke up. "What do you mean?"
"Can we sit down? Then I'll explain."
"Oh... um... sure," Alina replied.
Tony (Kai) stood up and connected the laptop to the projector.
"Now here's the thing: Dent wants to destroy Bellingham Industries." (He shows a pic of the mysterious man he met before.)
He continues explaining. "We have less than 40 days before the attack. Alina!?"
Alina replies, "Yes?"
"The files from the server were about the investment, the market, and all that, but I'm not sure that's what they were after."
Aaron looked confused.
Tony continued. "Now imagine this. The server room does the following:
Monitor the current price of goods in the market
View the money being spent, which is later sent at the end of the day to the accounting/financial department
Control the network within the industries
These are what they do. But Dent doesn't need any of these. He wants access to the Key."
Mia looked at him. "What key?"
Tony replied. "The key and the vault in Cristiano's office."
Alina asked, "What does he need it for?"
Tony continued to explain. "I don't know what the key is for, nor what's inside the vault. My dad's office is the only one on the top floor. Only access is himself. No one else. Not me, and not even Aaron. Hell, not even Dent. And sure wouldn't be any of the janitors. The server team doesn't have direct access or know how much is in the Bellingham bank account unless it would've helped him."
Aaron interrupted politely. "But sir? That isn't the only thing."
Tony looked at him. "Continue."
Aaron explained. "Our Main Computer in the server index is the best among the best—having direct access to the net, black market, and online purchases we do. The financial department has papers containing daily purchases and everything. The board members, executives, and the rest know everything about our signings and partnerships. It's not only about the key and the vault. He needs the others."
Tony (Kai) replied. "Yep! You're right. And that's what leads us to Operation: Deep Vault. It's already underway, but whatever. Alina, slowly gather info about everything going on. You work under Mr. Damian, right? I'll talk to him to make you his PA so you can have stronger access. This way, you can connect the server to my laptop directly."
Alina: "Okay boss!!!!"
Tony continued. "Aaron, you handle the server stuff. Dent cleared some transfers after the attack. So I need you to monitor and save everything. If he manages to delete it from the Main-Computer, we have proof and access here."
Aaron: "Sure thing, Master Tony!!!"
Tony continued once more. "Lastly, Mia! I need you to cancel the deal your dad wanna make with Dent. You're the princess of Tokyo."
A smirk appeared on her face.
"Quit it, we can see it," Alina said.
Back to the main talk, Tony said, "Apex Jet runs in Tokyo and of course has an alliance with Akira Enterprises. They both work in vehicles and stuff. Try to maintain their alliance. Dent noticed most Tokyo businesses are in alliance with Bellingham Industries, so he couldn't break it. That's why he's trying to shift things to Berlin, where doing Aurelia would be much easier."
Mia: "Okay! I'll try my best."
Tony, once more: "Okay fam, Operation Deep Vault: Ghost Risen is a go."
They all shouted, "YEAH!"
They had drinks, chatted for a while, but in between all that...
Tony (Kai) thought to himself:
> "I won't let this end with your victory, Dent. 37 days left, huh? Well, it'll have to be enough."
