Continued from here.
The Bank was in my sight. I could have breached security and entered according to the original plan. But, I had a better plan. I showed my ID at the gate. I walked in legally. I sat in my desk. I started typing. Weird Codes. That will disrupt the entire system. This will result in transfer of every asset possessed by the bank to an anonymous account. AsI typed, I felt the chaos rising. People around me started facing bugs in their system. Every normal transfer seemed to get halted. Every withdrawal started getting registered as a money deposits. The bank assets were multiplying quickly. The true assets remained the same, but the imaginary assets flooded the systems. The bugs exponentiated. I was surprised at my skills to code. I had never taken any formal course on coding or programming. But there I was, manipulating databases like an expert.
All this seemed so wondrous to me, that I fell asleep in the excitement. Not an usual thing to do I know. But, I am known for doing unusual things. I was sure, I will start dreaming. And I did.
I was up this time as a Medical Student. I don’t know in which University was I pursuing my degree, but I was surely under a lot of pressure. I thought of paying a visit to Egypt, and immersing myself with the Egyptian mysteries and maybe mummies if I was lucky.
As soon as I landed in Cairo, I got a call from a Driver. He was ready to transfer me to the hotel from the airport. I must appreciate the sincerity of this man. Quite punctual he was. On the way to the hotel, he took my phone number as he was impressed by the noble profession I had chosen!
Today, a few minutes ago, I got a call from him. He reported that a mummy had apparently scared him off his Jeep near a creaky bridge across a sneaky river. He wondered whether he was dead. I replied with negation. Being a medical student, it was my duty to classify the talking humans as non-dead, aka alive! He said, then I must be dreaming. To this, I could not negate so easily. Seeing a mummy in broad daylight, can indeed be the sign of a weird dream. I asked him to come to my hotel room. He said that he was Jeepless on a Carless road. I assured him that I was coming. Thus, I hired another Jeep in a mission to rescue the driver. But, almost at our destination, I saw him walking back towards our Jeep. He waved his arms wildly and we stopped.
He reported the entire incident. He said that the mummy had abducted the banker. It rarely happened, but mummies were known to abduct overseas bankers and make them steal from their own bank. I knew that was impossible. He seemed to know that it was quite possible. I didn’t argue anymore and instead said that I will find out where the Jeep went? The driver appreciated this, and said that he is willing to drive. Thus my present driver stepped off and the old driver, the one one who believed in mummy and the one who had taken my number earlier and had called me up to pick him up from this specific location, which he called as the creaky bridge across the sneaky river, ascended the driver’s seat. He said that the scenery hence was miraculous, but I was not ready for scenery, hence I slept. Before I slept however, I sent a message to the old driver’s cell phone stating that the banker might try to jump from a flight or try to crash it, should he be sent to his own country to steal from his own bank.
As I fell asleep, I drifted into a dream. A dream in which I was a banker.
