Hot Ice (2011)
“Chris has left some highly specialised software running overnight in the hope of discovering Prince Husam’s computer password. Arriving at seven a.m., she hurries to the IT room to find that the programme has been completed and there is the password on the screen: 24-05-53. Strange password…someone’s birthday perhaps. Triumph surges bringing goose-pimples to her arms. ‘Ha! Gotcha,’ she says aloud.
Hyped up and trembling, she enters the Provident Trust’s financial records. There it is…everyt...hing she needs, a mass of transactions from every African branch. Sighing with relief, her fingers race over the keyboard. Hardly noticing her discomfort, she sits hunched over the screen. Occasionally she pauses, stretches, makes a few notes, calls for coffee and a biscuit and returns to the screen.
‘Just how late are you staying?’ Janine calls out some time later.
Chris looks up in surprise. It seems that the day has hardly begun, yet Janine is going home.MoreLess
