"Right." Slav chuckled, not quite convinced. "Ms. Career-maker doesn't have any time for that normal people stuff."
"We're not normal, Slav."
Slav shrugged. "Normal is overrated." She typed hastily on her keyboard until she found something interesting. "OOH! Check this out!"
Koula rolled her chair beside her partner. It was the school forum with parents talking about the teachers of Saint Clementine's school in Ohio. Koula read the conversation, until it took a turn at Levi. Koula arched an eyebrow.
She'd never seen people openly thurst so hard for a man. Not even the members of kabal.
"It seems Mr Ackerman has stolen many, many hearts out there." Slav grinned. "Is he really that hot?"
Koula certainly agreed with all those comments of all those deprived mothers but she wasn't about to throw her ego away and start admitting to it.
"Meh." Koula shrugged. "He's alright."
"Then why did you ask me to find his number?"
"BECAUSE he is the fucking CLEANER!"
"Doesn't that somehow make him even hotter?!?!?"
Koula frowned. "Well if you find him so hot, he's all yours!" She returned to her computer and continued typing down. "I got some digital drug trafficking to route here."
"DRUG TRAFFICKING?!" Now it was Slav's turn to roll her chair to Koula's side, but only cuz she wanted to grab her by that dark blue hoodie that she was wearing, trying to knock some sense into her. "YOU SAID YOU'D STOP THIS STUFF!"
"How else will I be making 200k USD per day?" Koula arched an eyebrow and Slav frowned.
"You don't need that much money, plus, it's illegal."
"I'm just writing code, I don't kill people LIKE A CERTAIN SOMEONE."
Slav huffed. "How many times have I told you? Levi seems to have stopped doing Pavlov's dirty work."
"You can never know for sure." Koula clicked her fingers when she realised she had forgotten about something. "Did you manage to hack Erwin Smith's smart car?"
Slav smirked. "Of course, I did. He's a got an Audi GT."
Koula laughed. "You know he's an old man when he buys a smart car. People these days don't know how easily hackable their cars are."
"Right?! The business for car hacking is booming."
"That's why I tore out all the smart electronics from my camaro."
Slav arched an eyebrow. "And that's why you've been driving a beetle car from the 40s until that generous Chinese crime lord gifted you the Camaro."
Koula turned and looked at the picture of her old car. A beautiful, vintage beetle. One of the very first ones. She sniffled. Tears gathered in her eyes.
"I miss my baby."
"Aw, partner, it's alright. I'll make you feel better. I'm about to blow Mr Smith's car."
Koula's eyes widened and she immediately rolled her chair beside her bestie. "Do you got a footage?!"
"Yup, CCTV camera of a coffee shop."
"He's not in it, is he?"
"No."
"Good. You were right, bestie." Koula frowned. "I'd never kill someone's father no matter who that is and what they've done."
Slav smiled. Two years ago, Koula would do it without hesitation. So long as she was getting paid. She patted Koula's back. "See? There is a road for redemption. What if Ackerman has actually taken it?"
Koula sighed. "Fine. If he has, then good for him. But as long as people like Erwin and Zeke are around, I don't think I'm ready to leave the underworld just yet."
Slav shrugged. "Who knows. Maybe they'll get redeemed as well."
Koula thought it impossible but Slav would definitely urge her to reconsider.
Today had been a great day for State Secretary Erwin Smith. His daughter had finally awoken. His wife was happy. Work had just finished. He had a dinner to attent with DA Nanami and after that he'd head straight for his daughter.
His bag at hand, he walked down the stairs and made his way to his car, resting by the sidewalk nearby. Before he even had the chance to get closer, it blew up. His Audi was engulfed in flames and the impact of the explosion had him take a few steps back.
Erwin's phone rang as he watched flames consume his car. He knew exactly who had done this. He brought the phone to his ear while people gathered around to see what had happened.
And with that, the call was over, leaving an enraged man.
He fisted his fingers around his phone. Honestly, if he had either of those hackers in front of him right now, he would strangle them with his own hands and he would enjoy it more than anything.
