Introduction

A young woman of twenty sat at an empty desk in a white room. Her brown eyes scanned the door, she knew it would open soon. 

The creaking sound that came to her left told her that INSA agent had arrived. She looked up. The agent wore a black suit and slacks, he had dark brown hair and blue eyes, his atmosphere was approachable but stern. 

"Josephina Sierra Rose, do you know why you have been released from prison early?" The agent firmly asked the dark haired young woman.

Josephina kept firm eye contact with the agent, "No. Why?"

"Two years ago when you were eighteen, you did something many other criminals have tried to do but failed. You hacked into the International security mainframe and shut it down. The world was in havoc for many months afterward," the agent replied.

Josephina resisted the urge to look down, but she kept her eye contact with the INSA agent as the memories came back to her. She remembered breaking into the main building, the very heart of the International Security system, tearing down the very firewall that so many have tried, but failed to destroy, then finally shutting down the mainframe.

"What does that have to do with me?" she answered coldly hiding the guilt and shame within.

The agent started again his serious eyes stayed on Josephina, "A secret organization has been found, we don't know much about them except they have apparently figured out how you did the impossible and is using it to slowly take over in a secession of weeks. Apparently, you still know more than this malicious organization because it's taking them longer than it did you."

Josephina nodded, it only took her about an hour or two, while this mysterious organization is taking weeks time.

The agent continued, "You have been released from prison early because you are the only one who can track them down, and fix the system. We'll give you a team of our best CIA agents and NSA agents."

"I'd rather work with one person, preferably alone."

"That can be arranged I'll be your co-worker then. I'm Agent Ford, Galton Ford. So, any more questions, Rose?"

"What happens if I don't help?" Josephina dared to ask.

"You'll have to finish your ten years in prison," the agent responded firmly.

"And if I do?"

"Freedom."

"Then I'll do it."
