THE HACKER FROM PAST
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The car sped through the dark night, it's headlights flashing, warning the incoming traffic. Caleb was sweating as hell though the A/C in the car was turned on. He had to rush before it's too late. He had recently got a call from an unknown number that his office system was hijacked. It would be a disaster if it happened as Caleb is a professional hacker and sensitive content are stored in his computer.
He blushed red when he saw his office building infront of him. He parked his car on the road and flashed his ID card to the watchman.
Watchman(in a creepy tone): What happened Sahab, anything wrong?
Caleb: No, I think something is wrong with my computer
Watchman: Its better you fix it before Mrs. Drew knows it or you're fired.
Caleb(Taking a ten rupee note): You've been on duty for hours no, go and drink a tea
Watchman: Thank u Saheb may God bless you.
The happy face if watchman gave Caleb extra energy. Caleb rushes into the building and frantically presses the button in the lift but alas! The lift is out of service. He races up the stairs and unlocks the computer room with his keys. He saw his computer screen on. It stood distinct from others with a powerfully lit screen.
Caleb wipes his sweat with handkerchief and sits before his computer. Somebody was draining all the files to another system. He sat there for hours fighting with the hacker on other side and won at last. He changed the password of his pc and took other measures so that it wouldn't repeat again. Caleb went out and locked the door behind him.
When he got out he saw the lift working. He looked at his metallic watch. It showed 3:00 AM☠️. He thought that it might be the work of the security. He got in and pressed first floor. It moved with a vibration and it was strangely chilling inside. Caleb had heard that if there is a spirit in your vicinity a cold feeling creeps up but he stood undaunted. The lift stopped at first floor and he got out.
There he saw the security coming in:
Watchman: Sorry Saheb I couldn't come for night duty as my daughter was ill.
Caleb: What are you mumbling? Did u drink tea or what?
Watchman: No I didn't even expect to see u so early in the office. Ma'am would be happy if she sees u at this time.
Caleb: So you weren't here at 1:46 AM?
Watchman: What Saheb, how much time I have to tell u I came now only. Please don't tell Ma'am or she'll scold me.
Caleb: Take this money and buy some fruits for your daughter
Watchman: Thanks Saheb, may God bless u.
Caleb felt thunderclapped. He dizzily went to his car and saw the ten rupee note on the seat. He was confused and he looked at the rear view mirror.
He froze at his spot. Behind him sat a man in tattered clothes and wrinkled face with a inhuman wide smile, his skinny hands reached for him and......
