Chapter 55: Google Calls [2]
Amelia Rhodes sat at her desk, eyes locked on her monitor waiting for the timer on the screen to hit zero.
No, she wasn’t waiting for the legendary windows update to complete which would have required a lot less nerves than this.
She was instead waiting for the timer to complete on OmniTech’s CryptCall app.
Finding a way to get in touch with him was a whole lot harder than she thought, impossible even. After all, every meeting they’ve ever had was always cleanly wiped from her systems.
And she had not a single way to trace him, except he got in contact first, or so she thought.
As he had shown in all their previous communications, OmniTech was someone who never does something in the way she expected.
From his avatar to even the last message he sent her when they tried copying Sentinel, they all seem to show that he was a playful individual.
But Amelia was not one to be fooled, a thinking that was not wrong per day, but it was what caused her to overcomplicate the search for Ethan.
She had tried searching online, hacking into black hats forums, tracing deep web chatter, and even fed a few carefully crafted baits into honeypots just to see if anyone knew who was behind OmniTech.
But everything led to a a dead end.
It had taken her two weeks to finally realize that a clue was right under her nose and she wasn’t even actively looking for it.
