Adam's face heated from embarrassment. Ariel closed his eyes and sgih from annoyance and opened them again he looked at Adam and said quietly “why don't we go to my place and I will prove you that the keychain is mine, or you prefer we stay like that?” Ariel's eyes and tone did not leave a place to argue. So Adam finds himself in Ariel's passenger seat, on the way to his apartment.
“Nice car” Adam breaks the silence. He smiles nervously. “You can relax, I don't gonna hit you. If I want to, I would do that in the restaurant” Alex said. He entered underground parking. Adam chuckled “I believe you” his lucky charm was still in his hand. He looked at it with sadness. Ariel finished parking his car. He unbuckled and looked at Adam. “You know I will get it back to you, right?”
Adam looks confused. “So why do you need to prove it's yours? Why are we here?”.
Ariel gets out of the car and Adam follows him. “I don't interested in the keychain specifically, it's what it holds inside that matters to me”.
Adam doesn't say a word while Ariel wolk him to the elevator until they get to Ariel's apartment. “Sit” Ariel orders him to sit on the couch. “You want something to drink? Water? Soda? Cola?”
Ariel looks at Adam sitting on the couch and makes everything look smaller compared to his tall figure.
“I think water will be good, thank you” Adam crossed and uncrossed his legs, trying to find a comfy position. Ariel finds that amusing. He handed him a bottle of water. And enter his room to bring his laptop. Ariel sat on the floor near the couch, he put his laptop on the coffee table,and opened it.
“I don't get what we're doing here. You said you want what is inside my lucky charm. But you also said I can have it back. How are you going to do that without destroying my charm?” Adam holds his charm near his heart in his hand. Ariel looked at him for a minute to be convinced he was serious.
“You know it's a flash drive,” Ariel said slowly and Adam shook his head. Ariel
Hand over his hand for the keychain, and Adam gives it to him with a little resistance. And when Ariel separates the pot from the cactus Adam whimpier.
Ariel laughs and connects the device to the computer. “You're funny” Ariel said sincerely and gestured to Adam to come sit with him on the floor. Adam slid from the couch to the floor. “I can't believe I didn't figure out it can do that”.
“I don't know, maybe it's a lucky
charm,” Ariel said quietly. He was in the cloud, for years he was angry at
himself for losing it. He looks into the device, and as soon as he sees the
familiar label of files, he does a little dance in his
seat.
Adam sulk and peek at what Ariel does. “What does that mean?” He pointed at one of the files. He bowed down to get a better look. Ariel laughs. “Oh… I remember that, ‘the unspoiled brat list’. The name was still in negotiations.” Adam looks amusing at Ariel getting all nostalgic. “the brat list? What does it mean? What is on it?” he asked. Started to get interested, Ariel opened ander file, with photos, it seems almost all the files in the device full of photos organiz to categories.
Ariel turned to him, excited. “Want me to show you?”. Adam is infected with his excitement and nods.
“You already figured out that Gabi and I are friends. We are more than friends, we grew up together. The four of us-” “four?” Adam asked. “Let me finish. Yes, the four of us, we are all omegas. And the heirs of some of the richest families in the country.” Adam eyebrows rose, in surprise. But he let Ariel finish his explanation. “That was our last year in highschool, and one of our parents suggested that we do stuff that really helped us in the real world.”Ariel opened the file, in there was a list, and near every task was four names, and a V on every task someone succeeded. Ariel points on the screen. “We have to cook for ourselves for a week. And clean and do laundry. Get a driver's license. And the one we failed miserably. Use only public transport for a whole month.”
“Hey! I found my charm on the bus. You think we were on the same one?” Adam asked. Ariel thinks about that for a moment. “I figure I most likely lost it there. We kicked out from the bus, so if you get in after the bus stop on the highway. We weren't on the same bus.” Ariel looks at Adam. Adam thinks for a moment and answers. “I think, I got on at the next stop” Ariel laughs, he tapp on his laptop. “why don't we get to the real reason we meet up” Ariel finishes tapping and turns to Adam. “The code for that backdoor” Adam smiled. “I'm telling you, it's brilliant. Even our IT department doesn't figure it out.” He said Impressed.
“and you figure it out? Maybe you need a new IT department. So you figure it out, why do you want to meet?” Ariel uses his ‘get to the point’ tone. “I wonder if you could use your code to enter the government database?” Adam looks hopefully at Ariel.
Ariel thought for a moment before he decided. “I can't give you access to the code.” And after he saw the disappointment on Adam's face, like a lost puppy. He added. “but I can show you the database on my computer.” Ariel got up from his sitting position. “Follow me” he ordered Adam. “you don't going to use that one?” Adam asked. “That little thing?” Ariel said juking, he gestured Adam to follow him.
As soon as he entered the room he was impressed. “Wow… amazing… just wow..” In the room were several screens hanging around that wall. There was a desk and a two chair, which seems they come from a spaceship.
“I'm so happy right now”Adam said making Ariel to laugh,and sat in the empty chair.
