Katrina smiles warmly at him. She instantly gains confidence,
assurance and comfort from his presence, even if his presence is just via a
computer screen. Sully notices.
“Good morning, Katrina,” Felix responds,
his eyes locking with hers, another connection that is damn hard not to ignite
when their eyes are involved. Sully notices as well and it looks like his world is shattering.
Richard motions to his agents, mouthing
to them to trace the feed.
Felix turns his attention to
Richard. “Don't bother tracing the
feed, Richard, we all know that I'm smart enough to reroute the location.”
“What the hell is going on here?!”
Richard hollers.
“I've discovered where Felix has
sequestered the remote,” Katrina casually shares. She looks at Felix, a bright smile growing until it reaches
her eyes. The smile is clearly
meant for Felix, which he is indeed relishing. Sully paces, he’s anxious, how could everything fall so far
apart in his world? That smile should be directed at him and it was barely
twelve hours ago.
“Brilliant, by the way,” Katrina tells
Felix.
“Thank you,” he flirts as if no one else
were in the room with them.
“What did you do?” Richard demands to
know.
“I inserted some codes into Hacker Heaven,
codes that once discovered would lead to the remote's location,” Felix shares.
“And I broke the codes,” Katrina beams,
quite proud of herself, she shares another look with Felix. Even though he’s communicating via
Skype the energy between them ignites both real space and cyberspace.
Katrina, without any expression,
acknowledges Sully. “Maybe now you
can figure out how I got home last night.”
“Please don't let what happened harden
you,” Sully pleads. “What I did,
what we did, truly meant something.
Katrina ignores the second part of
Sully’s pleas. “It hasn't hardened
me, it's made me stronger,” she answers with confidence and not an ounce of
resentment or anger. She addresses
his second part of his pleas with gentleness. “If what happened had any meaning
at all, it was because in my heart, I was with Paolo, not you.”
This comment shoots a dagger to Sully’s
very core, nearly knocking the wind out of him. But Felix, on the computer screen, the comment touches his
very being and he fights hard to control his emotions so as not to be exposed
or shown to be vulnerable.
“Enough with the tween romance shit. Are you going to get the remote for
us?” Richard snarls.
Katrina looks at the photos of her
friends. “I really have no choice,
do I.”
Katrina stares down Walter, Richard and
Sully. “Once I have retrieved the
remote for you I never want to hear from anyone employed by the FSSU ever
again. Should you try to bully me again I will sing to every major news outlet
and I will be doing the singing with concrete evidence that I have collected
against you. Evidence that will go viral. Now get the hell out of my store.”
Sully looks more devastated and
heartbroken than Katrina did last night when she hacked Walter's computer.
“When are you going to get the remote?”
Richard wants to know.
“We'll keep you posted ,” Felix answers.
Walter looks like he could kill both
Katrina and Felix. “I don't trust
either of you. This reeks of a ruse.”
“Not every one is as deplorable as you
all,” Katrina glares at Walter as she stands up.
“I believe the lady asked you to leave,”
Felix advises.
Richard, Walter and the two agents head
out of the store followed by Sully.
Felix looks at Katrina and gives her one
heck of a smile. “Good luck,” he
says, the two words layered with several meanings. Their eyes lock again tempting to turn into yet another
combustible moment. Felix, smiling
wide, shakes his head as if brushing off erotic thoughts, the very same
thoughts Katrina is having, which she picks up on from his expression. “I better go…” he clicks out of the
Skype conversation.
