Chapter 91
The technician checked his email. There was a message from his wife. He opened it eagerly. It wasn’t the response to his plea for a counseling session. But, there were new pictures of the kids! He opened the pictures. His wife was taped to a chair. She was blindfolded and there was a man in a mask holding a gun to her head. There were three empty chairs next to Julie’s with signs in each chair. The first asked, “Where is Jimmy?” The next asked, “Where is Kirsten?” The third asked, “Where is Beth?” There was a phone number with an area code he had never heard of on the bottom of the sign with baby Beth’s name.
He dialed the number as fast as he could. The voice on the other end said, “Good to see that you can respond quickly when you want to. You know what you have to do. We need to be able to monitor his calls. We need to read his email. Do not delay. You will go to the building now and get us the information we want. Do I need to tell you what will happen if you try to trick us again?”
“I…I’ll do it now. It will take me a couple of hours.” He didn’t have a choice anymore. He hated doing what he was doing. But, he loved his family more than anything. He loved them more than his own life. And, he might even love them more than he hated the Church. He had to move quickly. These people were smart and they changed passwords on the important stuff every day and encrypted all of it.
He fired up the workstation, entered the passwords into level after level of security and finally found the file. It was called “Endgame.” The technician made sure he had a back door into Robert E. Lee White’s texts and emails. He made a copy of “Endgame,” sent it to himself and then covered his tracks.
