The morning’s good news about Nathan Shaw’s death sentence had been abruptly overshadowed by a handwritten letter demanding one million dollars.
Vic Serrano, a computer forensic examiner with the FBI’s Cyber Action Team, walked into the room with a grim expression on his face.
He tossed a file folder on the table, then rolled up the sleeves of his white dress shirt to his elbows, before he sat. “It’s confirmed. Someone definitely hacked into the company’s files at two-thirty-two this morning.”
Blake slammed his hand down on the table. “Jesus Christ.”
Their confidential client files had been compromised and the blackmailer was threatening to print the details in every major newspaper--a move which could destroy their business.
“Crossman and Farley are analyzing the code looking for IP addresses, email addresses, any clues that could lead us to the person or persons responsible. It’s going to take a bit of time.”
Time they didn’t have.
Even though Blake and Mike had officially left the FBI after the Nathan Shaw case, and had started an investigation/security firm, off the record, both agents were still 'on the books'. Some of those files where on the company’s main computer.
Blake stared at the blackmail letter in a clear plastic evidence bag.
This wasn’t a joke. It was real. The outcome would not only destroy their business but would put a handful of undercover FBI agents in harms way. Agents with families. Agents he and Mike had worked with for over a decade.
