“MATE, are you okay?” she asked.
There was that telltale humming.
“I am, Merry. Only, I don’t like the tablet. It’s small. I like having room,” MATE admitted. “I feel boxed in.”
The big Native shook his head.
“I don’t like that,” Zayn said.
Elizabeth ignored him.
“I need to make sure that everything you guys are doing is safe. ONLY use the tablet. The person trying to access knows that MATE has your intel. It’s going to be the CIA. They would hack their mother’s own grave if they could.”
Merry took the ISP address from Dakota, and ran it on the tablet.
“The Eisenhower building,” she said, when she isolated the information.
“Our tech and the CIA tech teams are based there. I’m not shocked. This will be the CIA.”
Shit.
“Is our information safe?” Dakota asked.
She reassured him.
“Yes. The tablet is running off FBI satellite hookup. They can’t, or should I say they wouldn’t dare try to hack it. You can keep using MATE that way. That’s remote and safe. I’ll update you later.”
Before they could say anything else, she was finished with the call. She had someone to hurt.
BOB.
“I really hate CIA spooks,” she muttered. “I’ll check in later. Call if you need me.”
Then, the call went dead.
Everyone stared at the tablet.
“Uh, well, what are we supposed to do now?” Rogue asked. “I feel oddly shaken. Poor MATE.”
There was only one thing she could do.
They had to stay off their ISP address and make sure MATE was safe. Merry wasn’t giving up the single most effective piece of tech they had in this war.
No.
Thank.
You.
She picked up the tablet, the more primitive version, and took care of business. There was still data to dig through, and she wasn’t stopping.
Merry couldn’t.
This was her role on the team.
As she was working on the tablet, that’s when she heard it. MATE beeped, and the system alerted her of something.
“What’s wrong, MATE?” she asked.
