Chapter twenty-five
Kameron
I stare down at my computer, digging through site after site, trying to find a way I can save Lilith. Everything I’ve known has become so blurred. I’m not quite sure who I am anymore, but I’m nothing without her. This I know for a fact.
I pace back and forth in my office begging my mind to come up with something, even just a small piece of information I can use against the monster in charge. Wait I think, my mind begging me not to go through with this. Josiah, Leah’s hacker, had told the girls he had more information for them. What if I can get my hands on it? What if he can help save her? Against my better judgment I decide he is the key.
Quickly, I begin scouring the internet for him. There’s hundreds of results for a Josiah in Boulder, Colorado and I feel the hope disintegrate in me as I search through each one. He has to be in here somewhere, no one can hide completely.
Hours tick by and just as I’m about to give up on this plan and start from scratch, his face fills my screen. Josiah Abernackle , age 34, Cyber security specialist at CU. I continue to stare in shock at my screen. The blue light of the search page lights up my face in my now dark office. Almost like a sign from a higher power, guiding me to a revelation.
I quickly open up my email, copy and pasting his and typing out my request. However, the moment I hit send, red
and blue lights begin to flash through my window. I freeze, watching the lights dance around the walls. They reflect off
the art hanging on the wall, causing them to glisten almost like Christmas lights. I let myself focus on their beauty as I try to calm my breathing down. I failed.
