“Privileged information. Authorized personnel only may access.”
And then, the big one.
“Password needed.”
Fingers flying, with guilt creeping inside her but deciding it was worth the risk just to see, that nobody would know, she tried the basic hack that usually worked quickly to solve passwords of medium strength.
There. She was in.
She took a look at the case files, which were arranged by year, stretching back in time. Cami quickly clicked on the year she needed and went hunting for the name. Jenna Lark. Was she here?
She felt breathless with tension and excitement, flushed with guilt, but unable to stop. She just wanted to see. It was not really breaking the rules, was it? Just bending them.
Here was the case! Her heart accelerated.
The FBI had handled it. So, what had happened? Why had it not been solved, what had they found?
It would be possible, Cami thought, to copy the files over. She worked at top speed, downloading and duplicating them. She didn’t want to spend too long in here. She could not risk being found out.
But, as she began copying the files, Cami realized there was something strange happening.
Something very weird, that shouldn’t have been able to be done at all.
While she was duplicating the file, it was erasing part of itself.
It was as if the digital record had been programmed to delete certain information if it was ever accessed.
Cami drew in a sharp breath.
There was something in this case that people didn’t want her to know.
Something that nobody was supposed to know.
Somebody in the FBI had set this to run. Someone was hiding something about her sister’s case. Now, she only had part of the information, and the full details might never be discovered.
The FBI was not the perfect, pristine organization they liked to believe they were. There were people in it who had things to hide and who were working against it. This was clear evidence of it, even though Cami realized that thanks to the way she’d gotten it, it was her evidence alone as it could not be shared.
“Who are you?” Cami asked under her breath, feeling her mistrust flare up again.
And then, in a stronger voice, she added, “You can’t hide. And you won’t hide. Whoever you are, I’m going to find you.”
