Chapter 5
DISCOVERED
“WHAT?!!” Howie was shocked to hear about Fenbern.
“I’m
sorry, co-general. Please inform General Wright and Captain Kevin about
it,” said the voice on the phone line. Howie put down the phone.
“What’s
up, my dear Howie?” ask General Wright. Howie slowly stare his
general.
“General, Fenbern escaped,” Howie said. General Wright dropped his cup.
“WHAT?!! How
could that happen?!” ask General Wright. Howie calmly told
General Wright all about what he heard. From A to Z.
“DAMAGED!!
We’re in trouble now. We didn’t even know what will Fenbern do.
We could do nothing!” General Wright slaps his table. This time is harder
than before. Howie kept silence. He’s worry but he knew he could do nothing.
“Oh no, what
about Kevin?” General Wright suddenly realized, “This would
blow his top if he know this. He’d tried very hard just to keep Fenbern
in
jail. NOW WHAT HAPPEN?!!”
“Don’t worry about him, general. I’ll explain it to him,”
“AAAAH!! He’ll get really mad with this!” General Wright screams.
“I guess you’re much more mad than him,” Howie smiled sweetly.
“What?”
“I said, the news blowing your top more than Kevin’s,” Howie repeats louder.
“Oh, Howie,
if only you’re a captain, I could easily scold you. I shouldn’t
have take you as my co-general before,” General Wright snorts. Howie smiles.
“Don’t
worry about Kevin and AJ. Both of them would always be fine,” Howie
said walking towards the door of General Wright’s office.
“Okay,”
that’s General Wright’s last answer. But he didn’t seems to be
cheerful as usual. Howie just smiles as he get into his car.
(AJ’s house)
Howie parked his
car in the garden. He took his Meditate File and walk into
the house. In the file contained a piece of paper that written something
really important.
“AJ, are you in?” Howie asked.
“I’m up here. Come on, Kev’s here too,” AJ shouts from upstairs.
“Okay, then,” Howie quickly ran upstairs.
“So, what’s up? You seems in a very big rush,” Kevin said grinning.
“Something
terrible had happen, guys. General Wright get really mad this
morning. You know who would be the victim if he get mad, aren’t you. If
you’re not, then I’ll tell you. It’s me,” Howie said joking.
Kevin and AJ
laugh.
“Come on, just tell us what happen,” AJ gives Howie a friendly tap.
“Is Brian in?” ask Howie.
“Nope,”
“Perfect!
Don’t you ever tell him. Umm, and Nick. This one is the private
army case,” Howie said in a whispered voice.
“What do you mean?”
“You’ll
inform yourself after you read this,” Howie took out a paper from
his file.
“What’s that?” Kevin asks.
“Tangs Documents.
If you know how to read, it was written on the top of the
page,” said Howie.
AJ and Kevin smile
but not for long. When AJ and Kevin glance at the paper,
their eyes widened. The whole story had been written right on the paper.
Kevin suddenly run out fetching his car keys and drove off.
“Kevin, come back!!” AJ quickly get into his own car following Kevin.
“HEI!! AJ! Kevin! Don’t go! Damn, those stupid guys…” Howie mumbles.
(Back to the base)
“How could
this happen, Kevin?!! This isn’t the thing that should be happen!
You can be fired or something!!” General Wright gazed at AJ and Kevin who
are standing in front of his table.
“I’m
sorry, sir. But honestly I don’t know how this could be happen. I mean…
I try to plan things to be alright. I don’t know all of this would be
happen,” Kevin explains.
Howie is standing
at the corner of the office watching at his friends. He
had no idea how to safe Kevin from this peak situation.
“You know
how dangerous Fanbern is!! You should’ve plan it correctly!! This
is American problem, Kevin!! Not you!!” General Wright continues.
“But, sir,
I really don’t know how the Tangs discovered our plan. I haven’t
told anyone about the plan yet,” Kevin protests.
“Then how
could they discover?” General Wright stares at Kevin. Kevin said
nothing knowing what General Wright had said is true. Howie is laying his
body against the wall. He groans knowing he should safe Kevin from being
fired.
“General,
would you mind if I go and check something with Kevin?” Howie ask
for permission.
“What do you wanna do?” General Wright asked with a cool voice.
“I know what to do. Believe me,” Howie smiles.
“Okay, but
don’t forget to inform me if you found anything,” the general
nods.
“You bet I will, general,” Howie walks out followed by AJ and Kevin.
(Later…)
“How do you wanna check about it?” Kevin ask wondering what Howie wanna do.
“I don’t
know the password for our Meditate Programs Computer System, but
I’m sure you do,” Howie said placing his arms on the table.
“Yeah,”
“I guess if
you don’t tell anyone about the plan, then they might discovered
it by themselves,” Howie continued.
“But how?”
“The computer
system of course,” Howie explains, “Perhaps they’d transfer
into the programs and get the plans,”
“But the code has just changed up and no one knows about it,” Kevin decline.
“Who knows. Wanna go and check it out?” Howie suggest.
“Why not,”
“Follow me,” Howie get up and walk away followed by Kevin.
Both of them reach the Computer Basement of their base. Howie sat on the
chair in front of the computer that had already on. Howie link the computer
to the Backstreet Army.
“Type the
password,” Howie land the keyboard to Kevin. Kevin does as he was
told. Then, he lend the keyboard back to Howie. Howie then type something
strange that Kevin cant even understand a thing. Suddenly, they saw some
green lines on the computer.
“What’s that?” Kevin ask.
“Computer
Sense. It could count how many times we’d logged in the program,”
Howie explains, “Have anybody log in the program before?”
“No one. The main base told us not to log in,” Kevin answered.
“So, it haven’t
been logged in. This is the first time,” Howie type
something that makes the green lines start to move slowly.
“Got anything?”
“No, not yet.
Seems like there’s no one had ever logged in here,” Howie
tries again.
“So, it mustn’t
be the computer problems. But… if it wasn’t, then how could
the Tangs know our plan? It’s really confusing,” Kevin groans.
“Wait!”
Howie suddenly recognized something, “Look, someone had reset the
locks,”
“How could you be so sure?”
“The edge
of the green lines were round in shapes. See, it is a sign that
someone had reset the lock. But terribly they forget to reset the lines,”
Howie points to the computer.
“What does that mean?”
“It means,
someone do had logged in the program but they ‘wash’ all of the
sense unless the green lines. I’m not sure whether they forgot or they
were
actually didn’t know about the green lines,” Howie explains, “Do
you got
it?”
“Oh god! This
is terrible,” Kevin’s eyes widened, “Howie, you’re a computer
genius,”
“What should we do?” Howie stares at Kevin.
“I don’t know,” Kevin shook his head slowly.
