The progress bar crept across the screen, climbing from sixty-eight percent to eighty-three, then ninety-five.
Bernard leaned closer, his eyes locked on the monitor.
The bar reached one hundred.
The screen flickered.
ACCESS GRANTED.
A single folder appeared. It had no name and no date.
Bernard clicked it.
The monitor went black for a moment before a strange logo filled the screen. Beneath it sat a single encrypted file labeled Operation Harvest.
His brows drew together.
"What is Operation Harvest?"he muttered
Brandon stepped closer. "What did you find?"
"A strange logo and an encrypted file labeled Operation Harvest. I have no idea what it means yet."
"Can you decrypt it?"
"I'm working on it. Whoever encrypted this knew exactly what they were doing. It'll take some time, but I'll find a way in."
"Keep at it," Brandon said. "I want every detail."
"You have my word."
