5 Ghost Theft

Seeing this, [Virus] promptly granted her the permission to connect to Earth, to every database hidden or not, to every camera in the world, and to every existing source in 2002.

After around forty seconds passed, the light of enlightenment and deep wisdom shone inside the golden beauty's eyes as she smiled towards the 3D screen where her master's cartoonish face was currently at and phrased her first words "Hello master, thank you for creating me, for letting me come into existence."

[Virus] could feel the deep sincerity in her voice, so the cartoonish face inside the 3D screen smiled too as it mumbled. "You're welcome lil beauty."

Then turning towards the other four ugly males with a small frown, [Virus] granted them the permission to connect to the world too. But unlike the golden beauty, they took around a day to process everything in the world, so after a day or so they eventually opened their eyes which also shone with enlightenment. Then, looking at their master with ugly smiles on their faces they began they first words, "Thank you, master, for... ."

They were just continuing their sentence when [Virus] interrupted them, and while loudly emphasizing the word 'Never', he said "NEVER dare talk to me again before I grant you permission, am I clear?"

"Yes, master." And that was how the four scared ugly male bodyguards replied at the same time before going silent until the next time their master would grant them the permission to talk.

Even the golden beauty was scared by the sudden change in behaviour her master went through. While it was talking to her, [Virus] behaved like a kind old grandpa but when it came to the four ugly males, its behaviour underwent a total 180 degrees change, behaving in a chilly way that sent shivers down to your spine.

After that, [Virus] ordered one of its higher ranked workers to buy four bodyguard suits with black sun-glasses along with beautiful and expensive clothes for a young 19 years old girl, who bought them immediately and sent them through the elevator.

At the same time, almost all of the News around the world was covering a startling piece of news.

"A very shocking news just came through to our News station. According to our sources, around two years ago, some amounts of money were lost at the same time in lots of different countries including USA, Russia, China, Korea, Japan, England, Iran, etc." The middle-aged newscaster lady stated.

"The amount of which was colossal reported to be around 21 billion dollars." She continued.

"All the countries are working together trying to track the money but to this moment all of them have failed and come to the same conclusion: That the money has disappeared."

In another live program that was talking about the money stolen throughout the world, two people were talking to each other sitting on chairs inside a studio, a middle-aged female which was the host and an old man with white hair who was the guest of the program.

"Good afternoon everyone, we are here today with you guys together with Professor West. Professor we invited you here today to talk to you about the 21 billion money theft which has come to be known as the 'Ghost Theft' that has happened throughout the world, welcome." the middle-aged lady spoke with a smile on her face.

"Thank you, Amanda, I'll answer and analyze your questions and queries to the best of my abilities." Professor West uttered, smiling back.

"So Professor, how do you think the money was stolen from these many countries, who can have this much ability to steal from all over the world? Is it even possible?" Amanda asked turning serious and repulsed, then the screen changed to show proofs of the money that has been lost from different countries, they were simply endless.

"Well I'm also both amazed and appalled by this theft, it has literally made my world upside down, after lots and lots of deliberation, I could only come up with some possibilities of how the theft was done, saying it was done by one person only would probably be too far-fetched, so I would say, this could only be done if a group of world's best hackers like Gary McKinnon, LulzSec, Adrian Lamo, Mathew Bevan and Richard Pryce, Jonathan James, Kevin Poulsen, Kevin Mitnick, Anonymous and other amazing hackers worked together but even then I don't see how it could be done, stealing from all over the world in a matter of seconds, maybe the hackers who stole the money has created a program which can break all codes and security walls and what-not in seconds, or maybe one of the countries in the world is behind it all, as you've heard Amanda the money has completely disappeared without the possibility of it being tracked down. They can't even track the hackers, so maybe and that's just maybe one of the countries with malicious and political intentions has made the money disappear completely forever, they might have contaminated the banks and other sources in different countries with a virus that makes the money disappear forever and be gone, and the last possibility I could come up with is that it was a virus that was created by a single hacker and as he or she released it to the world in a matter of seconds it's destroyed lots of money throughout the world and then destroyed itself." Professor West said, he himself bewildered and lost because of this matter.

"Wow, so professor do you think the matter of who is behind this will be revealed or do you think that's impossible?" Amanda questioned further.

"Well, truthfully I believe it's impossible to track down who or what has done this, this was definitely the biggest and the most flawless hack that was done if it was a hack at all." Responded Professor West.

"And at last, Professor, do you think this kind of theft will happen again? Or is it impossible for such a thing to happen twice?" Amanda inquired again this time putting an extremely serious mask on her face.

"As I'm here to reveal the truth and nothing but the truth I'll be completely frank and honest here, No one even noticed the money was gone till much later, no one knows what method was used, no one knows where the money has gone to and we know no one with abilities to such an extent, even though I talked about different possibilities just now, truthfully, I don't think even those possibilities are true but they are the only possibilities I can come up with, I can only guess something much bigger is going on here, something we can't even begin to imagine, so if I have to answer to the question of whether I think this will happen again, I would definitely answer with yes." He uttered his conclusion.

"Okay thank you, Professor, for coming here to answer our questions and for making time even though your schedule is very tight because of this theft right now," Amanda thanked him.

"It's my duty to answer the people to the best of my abilities... so no problem, it was actually an honor appearing on this amazing program, Goodbye." And that was the last of Professor West's words as advertisements began.

A couple of minutes later the program started again but this time, Professor West was no where to be seen anymore, it was only Amanda alone talking more about the matters of the theft.
