Victor Steele: pacing furiously WHO did this, and WHY?
exhausted whisper I don't know...I just woke up like this
snatches phone from DelicateCanyon's hand Give me your phone. I need your password. starts typing aggressively
whispers V, stop, you'll get us caught. It's called "Victor Steele". That's what I named it because you were once my boss.
pauses, looks at the phone screen "Victor Steele"? That's...unexpected. narrows eyes Why did you name your phone after me?
sighs You used to be my boss.
runs a hand through his hair, agitated Used to be? What the hell happened? Why did you leave the company? And why are you here, in this abandoned server farm?
rolls eyes It's a long story, V...I don't expect you to care.
grabs DelicateCanyon by the collar You better start explaining, and you better make it quick. I don't have time for your bullshit right now.
swallows hard Okay, okay...I was fired, V. I made a...mistake. One that cost the company millions. But I swear, I didn't do it on purpose!
releases DelicateCanyon roughly Millions, huh? Well, that's not my problem anymore. If you're here, it's because you have a debt to pay.
gulps I...I do. But I didn't mean to cause trouble for anyone but myself.
smirks Well, guess what? Trouble has a way of spreading like wildfire. And now, I'm caught up in your mess.
voice trembling I...I didn't want to drag you into this, V...but the hacker...he threatened me. My family...I didn't want them to suffer because of me.
leans in closer, intense gaze Well, newsflash, sweetheart: you're not the only one with family.
swallows hard I...I know, V. But...but I didn't think they would go after you too.
slams fist against the wall Well, you should've thought about that before you went and fucked everything up!
flinches, whispers I...I'm sorry, V. I didn't mean for any of this to happen.
paces aggressively Sorry doesn't cut it, sweetheart. Sorry won't fix the mess you created. Sorry won't pay back the money we've lost.
whispers I...I'll do whatever it takes to make it right, V. Just...just tell me what to do.
stops pacing, smirks Well, lucky for you, I have a plan. We're going to track down that hacker and make him pay for what he's done.
eyes widen T-track down the hacker? How?
smirks, crossing his arms Oh, don't worry. I have my ways. We're going to leave a trail of breadcrumbs, just enough for them to follow.
breath catches B-breadcrumbs? How?
leans in close, whispers We're going to start by tracing the IP address of the hacker's server.
swallows hard I...I trust you, V. Let's do it.
grabs DelicateCanyon by the arm and pulls her towards the door Alright, let's get moving. Time is of the essence.
