“Laordie...” I repeat it under my breath. “Laordie...”

I pace once across the room

“Why the fuck does that name ring a bell?”

Then it clicks, I freeze.

My gaze drifts back to her picture.

“Oh...” A grin slowly spreads across my face. “Riven. You're Adrien Laordie's daughter. One of the highest-ranking members of Kairo-9's Central Authority.”

I laugh.

Goddamn, she's rich.

Rich rich.

But she didn't look like it during the race—Not at all.

What the fuck were you doing in the Lower Layers? I wonder how a girl like you ended up there.

I dig deeper into the files, my curiosity shooting through the fucking roof.

One file is encrypted.

Whatever's inside is important enough to hide. I'll leave that one for later. Let the mystery unfold a little longer.

I go back to the basic information, then I see it.

Her address.

The government should really encrypt this kind of information. This is sensitive shit.

If a man with bad intentions got his hands on it. How exactly would they stop him?

What a shame.

I shake my head and a slow grin spreads across my face.

I found you.

Now I'm going to make her pay for crossing paths with me.

Sweat clings to my hairline as the screams from the horror movie echo throughout my loft.

My body shifts restlessly in my sleep, clearly disturbed by something.

I jolt awake when one particularly loud scream finally breaks through to my brain.

I gasp, my breathing uneven.

I look around, wondering what the fuck that scream was, before turning toward the Smart Panel.
