“They have lots of information.”
“Let me revise my statement,” Allison said. “They don’t contain information I can’t easily get online.”
She prided herself on her ability to find anything about anyone. She could do it fast, too.
“So, someone has been hacking files they don’t really have to. They’ve been scouring your files and documents, but nobody knows why, and nobody knows what they’re looking for. That means we have two options.”
“I’m listening.”
“Either someone is looking for specific information or they want to plan specific information.”
“Meaning what?”
She shrugged. She hadn’t really figured it all out, but she knew she was close. The hacking situation had been messy. Dirty. Wild. Whoever was doing this was really all over the place.
“Maybe they want to find some information about an employee, or maybe they want to alter an employee’s information.”
“Why now?”
“I don’t know,” she said.
“We don’t have a lot of new people.”
“It’s just James,” Allison agreed. “Well, and Zoa.”
“I don’t think Zoa is behind this,” Brian said.
“No, but I bet Declan’s behind her,” Allison snickered.
Brian just frowned.
“Come on, no sex jokes? Really? They spend every lunch together at their house.”
Allison might not have a lot of experience dating dragons or sleeping with them, but she knew a couple in love when she saw one, and Zoa and Declan were crazy about each other. There was no way to deny it.
“You’ve left out a possible option,” Brian said.
“What?”
“Maybe someone isn’t actually trying to hack us at all.”
Suddenly, Allison realized that Brian had been letting her talk. He’d been trying to figure out how much she knew, and now she felt like she was missing something pretty big. Well, damn.
“What are you talking about?”
“Have a seat, Allison.”
Brian gestured to the chairs in front of his desk, and she walked over and sat down. She felt naked in her sister’s clothing even though she knew she was perfectly well covered. If she’d been with Christopher, she would have been excited. With Brian, she just wished she still had the ugly blanket to cover herself.
“When I saw that the alarms in the file room had gone off, I realized I’d been notified through an alert on my computer.”
“Okay.”
“Usually, McKenzie comes rushing in here at the first sign of any problem,” Brian said. “She always tells me before I have a chance to find anything wrong.”
“Sounds like she’s a good assistant.”
“I think she’s nosy,” Brian said.
