Harriet was about to head upstairs to rest when her phone rang.

Upon hearing the news, she asked Joe if a hacker organization could be behind this and urged him to investigate.

Joe had a friend who was the head of an international hacker organization, so the investigation shouldn’t be too difficult.

By noon, Delbert still hadn’t returned, and Harriet was anxiously awaiting Joe’s call.

“I’ll look into the specifics,” Joe promised, hanging up the phone.

As time ticked by, Harriet paced in front of the sofa, wondering when King might have upset someone.

Not long after, Joe called again.

Harriet had hoped it was news that the crisis had been resolved, but instead, what Joe reported left her stunned.
