perfect! I couldn't have asked for better circumstances. Plug your phone into one of the laptop's USB ports. Good, now wait a minute... Re-routing... Files transferring... Hour glass... Hour glass... Got it! We're good to go."
That seemed far too easy... "How was it so easy?" I asked, looking up and seeing that the woman was still looking for the first aid kit in the break room.
"Well, these laptops are solely for short conferences. They have close to no security, yet they're connected to the same network as the servers with the information we needed," he explained, excited about the successful mission. "And perhaps you forgot, but you were supposed to crawl through about a mile of ventilation shafts to get to the servers."
The door opened, so I lowered the phone from my ear. She walked in with a first aid kit and a smile.
"You know, you're lucky. My father was a medic, so I'll be able to fix you up in no time," she informed me, eagerly pulling out supplies to remove the glass and gauze my cuts.
"Thank you, you ha-" I began to say, but then shrieked like a little girl when she started pulling the glass out of my back. "You sure you know what you're doing?"
She laughed and took out some painkillers from the first aid kit. "I'll get you water in a second," she said with a smile that made me blush.
Suddenly my cell phone started pulsing with vibration. I checked to see if she was looking and then peered down at my phone when I saw she couldn't see.
I saw her before you lowered your phone, she's gorgeous! Forget asking her to go on a date with you, propose to her, right now. - Wade
I pocketed my cell phone, pondering upon Wade's words. "So, do you work here?" I asked casually, filling the silence and filling my need to know more about her.
"Yes, I'm a computer technician. My boss lectured me for slacking off, so I've been working..." She stopped wrapping gauze around my chest, on top of my long-sleeve shirt, I might add, to check her watch. "Wow, twenty hours. I must have had a lot of coffee..."
"You must want to get the hell out of here," I chuckled lightly, trying to hold in tears of pain.
"I was actually just about to leave, but then I saw you crash through the window from the tree," she laughed, looking up at me, only inches from my face. "That reminds me."
"What?"
"The security guards downstairs, they'll want to see your I.D. card, so... Let's pretend you're my brother!" she suggested keen on acting as if I was her brother. She stood up and put the extra first aid supplies back in the kit. "I'll just tell them I was giving you a tour."
My phone vibrated again and I checked what it said.
LOL, she thinks of you as a brother. - Wade
I shoved it in my pocket, ignoring Wade's remark. "Yeah, that'd be funny... My name is Adam, what's yours?"
"Lara."

My eyes opened from my dreamless sleep. The current ran from my power supply through my circuitry like electric blood. A lively office filled my ears, finally waking me up, to where I looked from side to side. I was back in the office... Back in the office? Did I leave?
Wires hung from the office ceiling tiles and pulled from wall outlets. The computers around the office, which I used as terminals for data, pillaged. Someone stole my data. I must have lost some of my memory when the data was taken. Walls, except for one, blocked all the windows, entrances and exits. They resembled the percentage of open connections I had to the internet. The one port open went straight to Wade's computer. All other ports to connect to the internet were closed.
I went through, arriving only to see Irene talking to someone, who was on a cell phone. She stood in the center of Wade's home, looking up at a live feed projected on the wall. The feed was from the user's camera on their phone.
"Irene?" I asked, feeling as if I were in a weird dream.
"Martin! I was just about to get you," she stated in her sweet and loving voice. Her smile
