Tao stared at the brightly lit computer screen as he sat in the pub, absently going through and rearranging some things. He had begun to get annoyed at how he had his documents and programs set up and decided to take the time to actually put them in an order that made sense and made them easier to find. If he got an important job he didn't want to spend a whole bunch of time trying to find the right things, that could not only cost his customer time but could also give authorities a higher chance in noticing him. He took a lot of precautions and honestly didn't want to get caught just yet, he hadn't done anything worthwhile and exciting enough yet.

Suddenly a cellphone went off in Tao's bag. The boy opened it to reveal a whole pile of cheap phones, there had to be at least 10 in the bag. Swiping the one that was ringing he put the device to his ear. Each phone was one of those "one-time use" phones you could easily buy at any store, it was easy enough to get someone to buy them for him - they were harder to trace than contracted cell phones. [b][color=fff79a]"How'd you get this number?"[/color][/b] In his head Tao began to count, there were only a handful of people who know these numbers and if it wasn't one of them then he would hang up within fifteen seconds. Each person who had one of the numbers also knew the "code", it was a phrase Tao himself had given them in order for him to know they weren't cops.

[color=9e0b0f][b]"Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings."[/b][/color]

The phrase made Tao grin, it was one of his favorite quotes by Salvador Dali. The male felt himself relax slightly after knowing it wasn't some nosy cop trying to bait him. [b][color=fff79a]"What do you need?"[/color][/b] He asked, he wanted to make the call quick so there was no time for idle chatter. [b][color=9e0b0f]"I need you to find some info on someone for me - Edward Seething. He owns Seething Pharmaceuticals."[/color][/b] While Tao had never heard of the place he had no doubt that there could be something dirty found, after all everyone had skeletons in their closets. Tao shifted in the leather booth, [b][color=fff79a]"It'll be done, transfer the money"[/color][/b]. Without waiting for an answer Tao ended the call and held the cellular device underneath the table, giving it a quick snap til it broke in half. Well there's one phone down.

Tossing the broken remnants of the phone into his bag he zipped it up and went back to his laptop, though instead of continuing his organizing fiesta Tao went to work on whoever Edward Seething was. He had no doubt that the person who had called him was either someone who had been wronged by Mr. Seething or one of his competitors. People like that always seemed to want to bring people down - not that he cared. As long as he got his money then he would do the work, after all hacking into a pharmaceuticals company systems would be child's play.

Tao's dark emerald eyes drifted upwards when he heard a woman speak, a blonde who seemed to stare at him. He didn't like it, though he couldn't lie to himself either - that drink she explained sounded heavenly. Tao had a soft spot for anything sweet and that drink almost made his mouth water. He ignored the urge to get the same thing and instead went back to what he was doing. [b][color=fff79a]"Girl's always seem to need their coffee."[/color][/b] He said, he could never understand those of the opposite sex, they just seemed so...weird. His mother once told him that he would find someone one day who he just resonated with, that had yet to happen.
