Chapter 14 - Unrestricted Access
"Each Plan B analysis will consist of two parts; the first part is to ensure that the Plan B by all means necessary ensures that our Plan A works out as planned…"
"The second part of the Plan B would be a fail-safe should in case Plan A and its contingencies fail…"
Sam briefed before urging Ola to explain the current Plan A\'s and B\'s they usually employ whenever the need arises, and as a result, the meeting began…
After two solid hours of tactical discussions, upgrades and improvisations, the meeting finally ended, and with a single call from their access band, Roy showed up in the conference room about 20 minutes later;
"How was the meeting and hope you guys are getting along?"
Roy asked as Mr. Ola tried to offer him the highest seat in the room which Roy simply dismissed with a helpless sigh before sitting on a random seat…
"The building\'s anti fire measures uses a sophisticated sub-ceiling ventilation system, with a 2 in 1 robotic water sprinklers and CO2 dispenser, arrayed at specific and precise locations, all over the structure and can put out any amount of fire in the fraction of a minute…"
"All these are monitored by a secret control facility about a mile off the site of this structure…"
"You hired me to inspect your safety and security systems and after two solid hours of complete analysis, I can say it is 80 percent the safest super tall skyscraper in the entire world…"
"Once I inspect the security systems of the offsite facility a third of my job would be done…"
"Then, I will also inspect strength of the anti-hacking or firewall of the facility\'s AI mainframe…"
"And how do you plan on doing that!?"
Roy interrupted with a shocked expression, he didn\'t believe Sam can be so tech savvy that he would be able to find flaws within a project that took Tim, Jim and Kiki five solid years to create…
"I will disclose that information to you after it is done and in private…"
Roy nodded and Sam continued;
"Then I will commence the training of the entire security squadron and personal guards, and then, all my active jobs would be done, putting me in a passive supervisory mode till my contract here runs out…"
"I will also hold meetings such as this on random and abrupt date and times for additional safety…"
"Thank you… You were the right man for the job, just like James said…"
Roy complimented Sam as he stood up and walked across the long table, handing Sam a smart AI watch before adding;
"This watch would grant you unlimited and unrestricted access to the firms security and safety network as well as Tulips mainframe…"
"It will be linked to your biometric data and DNA…"
"It\'s one of a kind, and there is only one of it, and you will be the only one who can access it…"
Roy said as he handed the watch over to Sam who wore it, and looked at the screen…
Instantly, he saw the watch use the tiny but concealed secret webcam to scan every feature of his face, followed by a retinal scan and finally a stab in the wrist which took a tiny sample of Sam\'s blood for DNA logging…
Then he saw the watch display some things on it which was an instruction telling him to speak for Voice logging, for whenever the watch needs to be voice activated…
"Then you will be given one of our Tulip model SUV\'s that will take you to the offsite facility"
Roy said before giving Sam and handshake and turned around to leave;
"Tim or Jim would explain how everything works including your new SUV…"
Roy said as he was walking towards the elevator, and when he stepped into it, he turned around and added;
"If you can hurry, then there should be enough time to finish up today…"
"Thanks…" Sam added with his best smile, as the elevator finally returned Roy to his penthouse…
Since Roy had taken the secret elevator, Mr. Ola stayed behind whilst James, Sam and Mr. Michael who was the ambassador to the Department of Defense took the normal elevator down to the 20th floor, which was their tech station…
James and Sam alighted at the 20th floor whilst Mr. Michael waited, apparently, he was done for the day and was following the elevator to the ground floor…
The moment the elevator closed, Mr. Michael whipped out his phone and texted;
"He has the watch… I\'m out after this…"
Ding!
A reply came in almost instantaneously;
"Just make sure that you get his wife and kids, we will take it from there!" The reply read…
"Jim look, it\'s super Sam!"
Tim yelled as Jim and Kiki also looked over in shock, and as Sam entered they were all smiling so hard, their lips nearly hung itself permanently…
"Hi, I\'m Kiki…"
Kiki blurted before looking at James and with a bow from the waist, she greeted;
"Asa, James ojisan!"
James smiled and then gave Kiki a playful but light knock in the middle of her head;
"English Akito… Always greet me in English whenever you are not at home…"
"Moreover, Aunt Akira can\'t send you a knock all the way from japan for not speaking Japanese, but I can always hit you on the head for not speaking in English…"
James joked as Kiki readdressed her mode of greeting;
"Morning, Uncle James…"
"Better…" James replied with a smile…
"So, we were told you were coming her to learn more about your gadgets…" Jim went straight to business…
"Yes, but first, I thought you guys would be the only one in here?"
Sam said when he looked around and noticed the entire floor was divided into ten sections with an eleventh one looking like the conference room of the security station on the 25th floor, except that this conference room was at least twice its size, with three massive workstations within, which Sam guessed would be where Tim, Jim and Kiki usually work…
"Well, wouldn\'t that make our office a little too big?" Tim added from the side…
"Section 1 handles the firm\'s internet traffic through Tulip…"
Kiki pointed to an area of the floor which had a plaque that read \'1\' hanging over it;
"Why don\'t you just write \'Internet\' on the plaque?" Sam asked seemingly bewildered;
"Well, should an intruder or enemy manage to find their way into this place, which is certainly impossible, then it would be easier to find what they are looking for, wouldn\'t it?"
Kiki replied with a smile as she skipped ahead like a happy little girl, whilst Tim simply stood and watched;
"Eew dude!" Jim blurted;
"What!?" Tim protested;
"Are you going to tell me you weren\'t just checking her out!" Jim snorted before catching up with Kiki with a fast pace…
"You could just tell her how you feel, you know…" James added as he followed them up;
"What… No!" Tim blurted with a blush;
"She is too good for me… Moreover, she will never go out with me…"
He added with an helpless sigh and a slumped shoulder as Sam finally patted him on the shoulder before encouraging him;
"You guys have been cooped up in here, working together for over five years, she would have definitely caught you checking her out at least once or twice, and if she didn\'t react negatively to it immediately, that means she loved it..."
"Girls and ladies never allow someone who they don\'t like to check them out without giving that person a piece of their furious mind…"
Sam then tapped his shoulders and walked ahead leaving Tim behind in thought…
Then after spacing out for about three seconds, Tim\'s eyes lit up in delight as he ran and caught up to Sam before firing several questions at him;
"Are you sure about that!?"
"You really think she loves it when i do that!?"
"What if she was just enjoying the tease?"
"…Whoa, whoa, whoa… I\'m the one who is supposed to be getting my questions answered here…"
Sam protested jokingly before adding;
"Just be calm, and tell her how you feel…"
"I don\'t think I can…"
Tim slumped his shoulders in defeat once again as Sam charged;
"I will give you five seconds and if you don\'t tell her how you feel, I will tell her, you were checking her out, myself!"
"What!?"
"No! Wait!"
Tim instantly became flustered as they caught up to Kiki and the rest whilst Sam held up five fingers and began to fold them one by one, obviously counting down for Tim…
Then when the countdown ended Sam spoke grabbing everyone\'s attention;
"Kiki, Tim told me he always secretly checked you out…" He lied…
"What!?" Kiki pouted with a fuming expression as she began to stomp her way toward Tim;
"Oh, he is in for it!" Jim grinned happily…
