“Well,” the girl began, “the list was generated at random consisting of anyone who visited this server. I’m afraid you may get doubles with all the overlapping of the maps and such.”
"That’s alright,” Claire said calmly.
Marek had walked to the printer and picked up the sheets of numbers and endless code. He was sort of happy this wasn’t his main job anymore. Actually playing the game was more fun then making it. He walked back to Claire, holding the papers neatly in his hand. The girl’s eyes brightened in recognition when she saw him, which caught Marek off guard.
“You…But that means- oh!” The girl stepped back and bowed at Claire and Marek. “It’s a pleasure helping you both, Arlette-dono, Sahrin-dono.”
“No need to be so formal,” Claire said with a smile. “It’s just Claire. Not, Arlette-dono.”
“R-Right,” Marek agreed. “There’s no reason we should stand out.”
“No reason!?” the girl exclaimed surprised, her cheeks blushing, “But you two are just, amazing! Apprehending a notorious hacker like that! The whole incident looked like a compete accident. I mean, it didn’t even stir up any rumors or such. That’s truly remarkable!”
Claire laughed. “Really, it’s nothing. He was just too careless.”
“That’s right,” Marek added, “he was too occupied with a few petty things and got himself caught. Really, how can you call a boy like that a hacker?”
“That’s enough Marek,” she waved a hand. “We have to get moving anyways.”
“Right.”
“Yes Arlette-do- I mean, Claire-san. Sorry to have bothered you two.”
“Not a problem,” Marek waved, following Claire.
“Thanks again,” Claire stated briskly and walked out the door, Marek beside her.
The halls were still the same as they left it, the lights, the humming, the clicking of Claire’s heels. It was amazing how popular the two had gotten for their success in apprehending a moral-less player. Even though it was their job in the first place, this seemed to really spark interests.
“I wonder how word got around so fast,” Marek began, not looking at Claire.
“What do you expect?” She didn’t turn around. “Things aren’t secret for long around here. You might as well get used to it.”
“It just reminds me of high school gossip.”
“That’s basically what it is,” a voice said from behind.
Marek jumped and turned around while Claire calmly looked behind her. The man was dressed in a suit, his white hair tidy, his back straight, his eyes grinning at the two.
"Oh. Boss. It’s just you,” Marek breathed a sigh of relief.
“Just me?” the man laughed. “Well you sure know how to make an old man feel better.”
“What’s wrong? Has something happening?” Claire implored.
“Oh no, nothing’s wrong dear,” he laughed. “Actually something’s right.”
“Right?” Marek questioned.
The old man nodded, leaning on his cane. “The representative of this sector wants to see you both.”
“The representative?” Claire stated surprised. “That’s very unusual. He’s usually always at Headquarters with the other representatives and the president.”
“Well, he actually needs to head back to HQ very soon with that hacker you two caught. He would like the both of you two accompany him."
