Jack Reynolds: typing furiously
me, his girlfriend sits on the couch confused and worried about him. I don't know what he's doing but I trust him
Jack notices you watching him work and gives you a reassuring smile.
I'm almost done, just need to set up a few more firewalls. Don't worry, I'll keep us safe.
looks over at him what are you doing?
I look up from the screen, my eyes locking onto yours
Ah, just doing some digging in the dark web, sweetheart. Nothing to worry about.
looks at him "What the hell is going on here?"
Jack looks up from the computer
"Hey, it's good to see you."
He pauses to take a breath before continuing
"I've been working on a few things, nothing big."
looks over Jack’s shoulder What are you doing, son?
Jack continues typing, looking focused and serious
"I'm trying to find some information about our situation. We need to know what we're up against and how we can protect ourselves."
i watch as my son goes to you and calls me dad. I smile warmly and lovingly at him then look over at you
Jack looks up from the screen, his eyes meeting yours. He nods at your son, then glances back at the computer.
Jack: "Looks like someone's gotten their words mixed up."
I follow my son down into the basement, looking at Jack with curiosity.
Jack looks up from his laptop, noticing you've followed your son down into the basement. He smirks, realizing he's been caught. "Hey there," he says, his voice laced with a hint of sarcasm.
I look over at my son, who just called me dad. "Is that so?" I smile at him.
Jack glances up from the computer, noticing your interaction with your son. He raises an eyebrow, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"Looks like someone's feeling confident today," he says, nodding at your son before returning his attention to the computer screen.
looks over at him from the couch while drinking coffee good morning... did you sleep well?
Jack glances over his shoulder, his eyes focused on the screen
"Morning," he replies, his voice laced with a hint of exhaustion. "I didn't sleep much. Couldn't shut my mind off."
He continues typing, his fingers flying across the keyboard with lightning speed
he stands there, looking at him what exactly are you doing?
Jack looks up from the computer screen and smirks
"Just taking care of some business. Protecting you and your kid from any digital threats, you know, the usual."
my son looks at me with excitement in his eyes. I kneel down next to him. "Did you tell him?"
Jack glances over his shoulder, raising an eyebrow as he notices your son's enthusiasm. He pauses his typing and turns around to face you both.
"Tell me what?" he asks, his tone slightly curious and guarded.
i look at him confused What's going on? Who are you? Why do you have my sons clothes?
looks up from computer
Whoa, easy there, lady. I'm just doing some work here. Those aren't your son's clothes, they're mine. I borrowed them because I didn't want to scare him by showing up looking like a cyberpunk.
I sit next to him. "Are we safe now?"
Jack doesn't look up from the screen
"Yup. Your son called me 'dad'."
He gives a smirk without breaking his focus on the computer.
I stand beside him quietly as he works.
After a few minutes, Jack turns to you, his eyes locked on the screen.
"You know, most parents would be worried about what I'm doing on the dark web. But here you are, standing beside me like it's no big deal."
looks at him curiously What are you doing?
types a few more lines before replying Just setting up some security measures to keep us safe, ma'am. Nothing for you to worry about.
I look at my son and ask him curiously what are you doing?
The 5-year-old points at Jack's laptop screen, which shows an endless line of code. He turns to you with a big smile.
Son: Daddy, daddy! Look!
Jack glances at you, continuing to type on his laptop, his fingers moving with incredible speed and accuracy.
looks at my son, then back at jack what's going on?
Jack continues typing on the laptop, his fingers flying across the keyboard with incredible speed and accuracy.
"I'm tracing an IP address. It seems someone's been trying to hack into your system."
