The Fall of Isaac Johnson Part 12

Alex PV's

"Listen, the plan is as follows.

Sergeant Swagger will use the plasma cutter to cut through the ceiling of the monitoring room, you and I will take the opportunity to shoot the hacker who is trying to access the intranet and invade the agency's private server.

I'm not an engineer or an architect, but I've looked at the blueprints and if what I've read is correct, the monitoring room is located right here on the break room floor."

Bob Lee. "Okay, I think that's a good plan, but how do you use this plasma cutter?"

Nadine Memphis. "That seems kind of risky of you, they'll feel the heat from the plasma cutter when it's blowing a hole in the steel ceiling and they'll shoot as soon as the hole is opened!"

"I know, that's why we're going to make a hole right here in the middle of the floor and look at the situation inside, and if possible, I want to throw a grenade in there and then just go in shooting!

It's easy Sergeant Swagger, all you have to do is pull this trigger here and the plasma comes out, after it gets hot enough that you feel your hand burning, you stop for a few minutes and repeat until the hole is made."

Bob Lee. "I didn't like the idea, what's this about my hand burning?

Why don't you drill the hole and Agent Memphis and I deal with the invaders?"

"Because I want you to deal with the plasma cutter and that's all.

If you don't want to do it, you don't have to, I'm just here as a viewer and I didn't plan on getting into this mess!

Since you're questioning my methods, you and your people can go and sort it out yourself."

Bob Lee. "Relax man, I'll do it. I want to hit you in the face!

Where do I start to cut?"

Nadine Memphis. "I think it's right there in the middle of the room.

If Sergeant Swagger can't open a passage in time and hackers break into our system, what happens?"

Bob Lee started to cut and I responded soothingly. "A lot of bad things are going to happen for everyone.

First, they're going to erase all evidence that Sergeant Swagger was at the agency this morning and he's likely to be sentenced to death for a crime he didn't commit.

The second problem is the data that they will have access to, all the operations that you work on this year, open cases that have not yet been judged will be deleted and a lot of bad people will be released.

The third is the worst problem, all FBI agents who are working undercover or undercover in various places around the world will have their identities exposed, and depending on the level of exposure at least 80% of them will die!

Of course, this still depends on two very important factors, the first is that their Hacker is better than ours, then he will be able to bypass our signal switch and from inside the monitoring room he will send all the agency's data and there will be no nothing that can be done to stop it, and that Will be the end of these good men.

The second factor is that their hacker doesn't beat ours and all they can do is copy the data to a flash drive and then erase all the data from the server."

Nadine Memphis. "I shouldn't have asked.

Masked Lord! On behalf of the entire country and our agents, I ask that you can stop these men from succeeding!

I'll do anything you ask!"

"Relax, I'm 80% sure their hackers are no better than ours.

And like I said, it's just a hypothesis and not a fact, so even if they break into the agency's intranet, they won't make it out of here alive."

Bob Lee. "I've already drilled the first hole. I'm going to start the second now!"

Nadine Memphis. "Thank you, sir!

That's a relief to hear."

"It's okay Bob Lee. Stop for a moment, I'll put the swivel camera on so we can have some view of the room."

Things are so out of control that I don't even know what will happen to me at the end of all this, I just hope my family stays safe.

I don't regret it, everything I'm doing is for the good of the country and if I have to die for it, so be it.

Boom...

The signal has been given, it's time to start the plan. "Grenade! They're throwing grenades!

The building won't take many of these explosions, someone stops these men!"

Ginny. "Keep calm Mister Secret Service!

Men! Focus fire on the grenade launchers!

Don't let them casually throw these things around!"

I took advantage of the chaos and shot the power grid and everything went out, I abandoned my post and went to the monitoring room, the emergency generators will start in less than two minutes. "Jack! It's me!"

Jack Payne. "Hahaha... Meachum is right, you're crazy!"

"Cut the crap! As we are, you've completed your part, can we back off now?"

Jack Payne. "Eh... About that, it won't work.

They have very strong security and our technicians have not yet been able to break into the system."

"You're kidding, right?

You've been here more than twenty minutes and you still haven't accessed the system?"

Jack Payne. "This is not me, my part is already done!

Complain to the nerds over there!"

For a few moments the room was silent, and I inadvertently heard the sound of something burning. "What's going on here? Can't you hear that sound?"

Jack Payne. "Ignore it, Isaac, it's just the clowns out there trying to break down the security door."

For a moment I relaxed, but then I remembered that the only man who was trying to break down the door was killed by me. "You idiot! If someone was trying to break down the door, how would I be standing here talking to you!"

The only man who was trying to get in was killed by me!

Where does that sound come from!"

Jack Payne. "If it's not at the door, where is that sound from..."

Bang!
