Tarquin quizzed, "So, that publishing house is a tough nut to crack, huh?"

The two kids shook their heads in unison.

"You wouldn't believe it, but their security system is even more sophisticated than the Bradford Group's. We tried several times and failed miserably. Couldn't breach it!"

"A publishing house, for crying out loud, not some kind of top-secret government facility, and they've got this high-end security? That's fishy!" "And get this – their annual profits don't even come close to what the Bradford Group makes in a month. Where on earth are they getting the money to afford such a top-notch security system? Something's off with that publisher!"

The brothers were clearly agitated, their frustration evident.

After all, when two top hackers team up and still can't break in, you know the publishing house's security is no joke!

Tarquin frowned, "Did you check out the owner listed on their website?"

"Yep, just a figurehead, a regular Joe. Nothing juicy about him."

Elijah chimed in, "Dad, could the publishing house be the mystery man's hideout?"

Tarquin neither confirmed nor denied, "Can't say for sure yet."
