Chapter 105: Chapter 105
Craig had a hard time figuring out, whom it is, behind the blurred image. Even with the clear image machine he was using, he was still finding it difficult. He kept making use of different apps, some are the ones he had tried himself to find the face of the person, but all to no avail. He soon got tires of trying, as he left the image processing, hoping that after a while, he would get a clearer image of the person, he decided to face something else. Something he was supposed to have faced, since he came to work.
They have a party in a few days, and there are so many things that needs to be put in place, else it would seem as though, because his grandparents have left him to look after the company, he isn't able to do anything on his own.
There are so many things that would happen on that day, which is just in few days time. New apps will be introduced, and so many coanies will show case the apps, given to them by apple, and explain briefly how it works to achieve any aim, related to them. Doing it alone, is really stressful for him.
This is one of the reasons he needs Samantha with him, if she were to be around, she would have done a great job for him, by planning everything, but he also doesn't want her stressing herself, so he decided to do everything himself. Coupled with the fact that, there are a few persons one can really trust and count on in life, he cannot be counting on every one he sees. With what he had found out recently, and with the people they have handed to the police, he didn't need to remind himself of the lessons taught. Life had taught him so many things and one of them is never to trust easily.
Jane had help in making some of his work easier, but he still had to go through everything she had done, so that he doesn't have to miss out on anything.
The party isn't just a celebration, it is also a way, for them to show case their new apps, and get more technological companies to work with them, it is something that would boost them and give them more wealth.
Already they have been able to cover the world, now they are hoping to reach out to smaller villages to work on them.
Their competitors are looking for ways to outshine them, which means, they have to act fast.
There had been a time, he allowed staff work with him on an exhibition, only for one of them, to work with an enemy, and sell out their plans to their competitor, who used it, and show cases it, before them.
He didn't know he had so much to do, it was when he didn't get the chance to call Samantha that he realized, he had a lot to do.
He decided to give her a call, because as soon as he starts working, he may not know what the time is, and also he wouldn't want her to worry.
He started calling, and no response, he tried and kept trying, but after trying like three times or thereabout, without luck, he decided to stop and go back to what he was doing, hoping that by the time he would finish, she would have woken up or would have seen that he had called her, and she would return the call.
"Mr Stone from the US Army says he would love to see the samples again, that he would want to send the information to his head of system and operation". Jane says, as she walked into his already open office.
"I have totally forgotten, I really thought I was through with everything". He almost cried. Jane saw it as a chance for her to be with him, so she suggested, lying that she was done with everything she was doing, she offered to help him edit the work, since it was already done, editing it would not be that hard.
Don't worry Jane, you are very nice, but I need to do this alone, the app for the US Army is top secret. The fact that we worked on these apps together, there are so many of them that after seeing them again, you would never understand them. One of them is this type I am working on, you cannot help edit it, because you cannot understand it".
Jane was so angry, she felt insulted, she cursed Jim in his heart for looking down on her If Sandra were to be around, he would have allowed her work for him, but because it is her, he things she isn't good enough. She was very angry, but she was quick to hide her anger with a smile, and then she ran out of the office after bowing her head in response. She hated being told that she would not understand something, and to think that she keeps trying, and it seems as though she was trying too hard, yet she isn't able to achieve what she wants from him.
Craig didn't notice anything that should get her angry in what he just said, so he focused on the work, and in an hour he was through, he called Stone, and explained, using an artificial intelligence to explain with cartoon like images on how the app will be used, he got a call back that he is impressed with the apple work, and that the money had already been sent to the apple account.
Craig was so happy, after he saw the alert. He isn't the one that is supposed to do that, but since it is something that has to do with security, he did it himself, and they are also going to be at the party, to explain briefly what they are going to be doing with their app.
He requested for a list of all the persons that they needed to send their apps and programs too, he got them and worked on all of them, he soon had time to eat, but his head just went blank that he almost forgot Samantha wasn't around, so he called her again, this time, she took the call. Thinking She had been with him all the while, he asked.
"Why have you not brought me anything to eat yet? When she heard his question, she thought he was trying to tease her, unknown to her, that he really didn't remember.
"I am on house arrest remember? Craig opened his mouth recalling, that it must sound as though he was mocking her.
"Don't worry, just a few more days, and you will be out, and please, you are not on house arrest, you are just taking a rest". He says, hoping that would make her feel better, then he added.
I called earlier, but you didn't take the call? She responded quickly.
"I am so sorry, Whitney is around and so, we both went swimming". He gasped, as he remembers that she is supposed to return home from school it is weekend after all and only three more days to the party.
"Oh my gosh, she must be wondering why I am not home yet? I will soon be through, I need to round up with a few things". He says and is about to end the call, when she reminded him what she would need him to get.
You know you don't have to wait up for me to take anything, you have a phone with you, and you have all the apps of what you might need, so just call any of them, as regards whatever it is you need". Samantha had to remind him.
"You are the one that said, the world is dangerous and people are after me, you said I shouldn't order anything, unless you brought them. Do I have to remind you? She added that last phrase, because even she doesn't like the fact that she feels people are after her life. He had to hit his head again.
He really had said that. Why was he forgetting so much. He need to rest.
"You are right, I said all that, I will soon be home with everything you need".
"I love you Craig". He heard her, just when he was about to end the call, he is usually the one that ends that way, but he had also forgotten to say that, he slapped himself before responding.
"I love you more sweet". He had to end the call before he forgets something else that might get one really angry.
"What the hell, is happening to me? He asked out loud, before turning his system to face him.
He still worked and sent more mails to top companies and executive arms of government. When he was finally through with what he has for the day, he went back to the image, he didn't really care much, if he will find it clear or not, he just needs to be home with his family, but he is surprised to see that it had been cleared. He opened his mouth in shock.
Damn it. This is not a man, this is a woman! He exclaims. He grabbed the evidence, and started packing his things. He got everything needed and without a word, he left for his house, he would have to send a last mail to the inspector of police, on the case, they are working on.
