As soon as he left, Dad and I started laughing.
I was about to follow my love addicted brother when a thought came to my mind.
"Hey, Dad?"
"Yes?"
"You think that Al Qaeda already knows about Zoey, don't you?"
"What makes you think that?"
"You wouldn't be coming along with us to get her unless you thought that there was going to be terrorist action." In case you couldn't figure it out, Dad's an expert on terrorism. If there was a case involving it, he was usually called in to investigate.
Dad closed his eyes. "About two days ago, our system was hacked. We were able to stop whoever it was before they saw too much. However, they had opened Carson's file."
"Were you able to trace where the hacker was?"
"Saudi Arabia. I didn't want to tell you guys, especially Chris, because I didn't want you guys to worry. I want you guys to treat this as a normal case, just with more caution.
"I get it"
"Oh, and another thing; I don't want anyone to know about Zoey."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't want hospitals having her name, local police, the media, nobody. If anyone asks, her name is Terri. If she gets hurt, I'll contact a military doctor or something, unless it's so serious that there's no time. The point is I don't want Al Qaeda knowing we're catching up. They could have people everywhere."
"Got it."
I was walking out the door when I heard my father say softly, "They'll be fine..."
I wasn't sure who he was talking about; my brother and I, or the Allen's.
