Chapter 337


    On theputer screen, strings of data zipped by. The tech guy’s fingers were flying over the


    keyboard with lightning speed. Next to him, a sleek, ck case housed a device that automatically


    assembled into apact frame. A button on the frame blinked a menacing red, much like those


    infrared scanners you’d see in a spy flick. It screamed high–tech.


    Shawn, who had been staring for a while, was utterly baffled. He remembered thest time he had a


    security system installed, and it was nothing like this borate setup.


    Just a simpleputer system and a few cameras – bing, bang, boom, done. What was with all this


    fancyputer work?


    Shawn rubbed his nose, and his confusion deepened. He left the room and headed to the living room


    where his wife was. “Hey, honey, I don’t recall the security setup being thisplexst time, do you?”


    Delh, who had nced at the setup only briefly and knew jack aboutputers, suggested. “Maybe


    the guy Mira hired is some sort of specialist for the system?”


    “Could be,” Shawn muttered, not quite convinced.


    An hourter, the installers had the whole vi’s security and surveince system upgraded and


    polished off. After giving a quick tutorial on how to use it, they were out the door.


    Shawn, with his phone in his hand, was now staring at an app icon that sparkled like a diamond.


    Tapping it open, he was greeted with live feeds of their entire house. The app was chock–full of neat


    features – a panic button, automatic power shut–off, night vision activation,


    you name it.


    The real kicker was the instant alert on his phone if someone tripped any of the sensors at home. No


    more sleepless nights worrying about break–ins. This setup was light–years ahead of their old system,


    which, at the time, was touted as top–of–the–line.


    Shawn looked up, still a bit dazed, and turned to Delh. “Where on earth did our daughter find


    these tech wizards?”


    Delh, who had the same app on her phone, was still figuring it out. “Didn’t she mention some online


    buddyst night?”


    “Even if it’s a buddy from online, howe service is free?” Shawn stroked his chin, puzzled. When


    they left, he’d asked how much they owed, but they just said there was no charge.


    “Maybe Mira paid them online already?” Delh suggested, without looking up from her phone.


    That seemed to be the only logical exnation, though Shawn still felt something was off. Scratching


    his head, he blurted out, “You know, have you ever noticed that Mira’s friends are all… kinda


    extraordinary?”


    Delh finally looked up. “Huh?”

    Shawnid it out for her, “Okay, first, the meds she got for us, she said they were a gift from a friend –


    Leo checked with experts, and they’re practically priceless.”Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    Second, her tutor gave her two boxes of coffee beans that you can’t find just anywhere. One of them’s


    a collector’s item, literally impossible to put a price on.


    “Third, today’s tech guys. They might look ordinary, but if you really think about it, they’re anything but.”


    Delh gave her husband a sideways nce. “Stop analyzing our daughter and think about yourself for


    once. Besides, did you even wonder why Mira felt the need to upgrade the security system?”


    Shawn mmed up instantly. After a cough to clear his throat, he mumbled, “I better figure out how this


    app works.”


    Delh just rolled her eyes.
