Chapter 68

Secrets

Callan’s phone was locked with a fingerprint. To get any kind of data from the phone, we needed to bypass that lock first. There are many ways to hack into a phone that uses this kind of protection. One of them uses tape to clone the fingerprint, and that was our first method to try. Alan insisted that he would do it himself, claiming that he had done it a few times before… Well, I decided that it would be safer not to ask when he needed to break into someone else’s phone that way. Unfortunately, the fingerprint on the scanner had already been smudged, and there was nothing to clone… Since we had no way of getting Callan’s fingerprint, we needed to find another way around.

One of the simplest methods to bypass the lock is a hard reset, which also wasn’t an option. It wouldn’t make any sense to get access to a phone with all the data erased. We were left with one other method-we needed to convince the phone that the fingerprint scanner malfunctioned so that the system gave us a way to “fix it” the way we wanted.

This time, Norton took over the phone. After less than ten minutes, he placed his own index finger on the scanner and suddenly access was granted. As soon as he unlocked the phone, he looked at Alan and me with his eyes filled with contentment while the corners of his lips gently curled into a faint smile.

“Good job, Norton!” 1 clapped my hands, grinning at him. He gave me and Alan a tiny nod as his lips curled up a little more. After this one-minute celebration, our eyes shifted to the computer screen. I couldn’t explain it, but I had this gut feeling that we needed to work fast on retrieving that data for some reason…

“I found a trace of the burner app!” Alan exclaimed.

I was relieved that my suspicions were correct. Nonetheless, our work here had only just begun. A year ago, Alan and I created a program that would help to restore lost or accidentally deleted data. It wasn’t perfect, but we decided to run it to bring back everything that Callan had erased. Unfortunately, even if our program worked efficiently, we needed to wait at least a couple of hours for any effects. “Why don’t we check the data that wasn’t deleted in the meantime?” Alan suggested, with his eyes glowing

It was obvious that he couldn’t wait to check every intimate detail of the one guy who screwed up my self-esteem. I bet that he counted on finding something juicy that he could anonymously release on the internet. I knew that he would have done it for me and only if the Wintons tried to claim that their dearest son had been a saint, yet I still wasn’t too fond of the idea of letting him dig into Callan’s matters.
