Calm Before the Show

The guy hologram stared forward with his eyes open wide and his jaw dropped. It took a couple of seconds for him to start rummaging around, probably trying to end the live stream.

Aya waved her hand around in my peripheral vision. I looked at her and she frantically pointed at Aki. Only then did I realize what was happening. I signaled Aki to cut the call and she immediately did. She took her glasses off and put them aside on the desk.

Meanwhile, the live stream kept going for a few more seconds. The hologram disappeared and the live stream ended not long after.

Aki and I stared at each other, speechless.

"What was that?" Aya asked.

I took a moment to answer, "Ceruty was hacked."

"I assumed that, but…"

"It might've been the same hacker."

"How?"

Was it because I had a call with Ceruty before? Or are Aki's glasses also infected? If so, that means Chiharu has even more access than I thought. This is bad.

"Kaito?" Aya worried.

"I don't know, I wish I knew."
