SURPRISE MEETING BY 1

*ZOOM*

The doors opened, we got in and the fifth floor button was pressed then the doors closed back up as our ascension took place from one floor to the next and on the third floor the elevator stopped then a lady with her daughter entered and turned their backs to us. 

The lady pressed the button for the seventh and last floor then she turned and both her and Brian exchanged pleasantries while I tried avoiding any form of contact with the girl who on the other hand was constantly staring at me until the doors opened again on the fifth floor and Brian and I stepped out.

*STARE*

I stood quietly for a minute after getting to see the fifth floor and in all honesty it wasn't what i had imagined it to be when I made the jump. It was mundane and ordinarily simple with just a bunch of desks and paperwork. 

'They must have really gone through many changes in my time thanks to mine and others help' 

The elevator door closing and making a beeping noise snapped me out from my thoughts

.

Brian had his own office as the managing director of the logistics department by the left side of the room but besides that nothing else in the room deserved a second look. 

It still surprised me at how the GHA was able to replace WHO while looking like this. Connections really matters a lot and how they managed to privatize a global body just flew above my head. 

We entered his office and sat down, Brian behind his desk and me at the other side just like how it was in the principal's office. 

*STRETCH*

He gave me my share of the hotdog then we both ate and threw the napkins and boxes in the dustbin beside the desk. 

*SCRIBBLE*

After waiting two minutes for the food to digest he started to fill out some documents while i waited for the supposed FATHER AND DAUGHTER DAY to start but it looked like this was going to be it, first the hotdogs then next me spending the rest of the day looking over at a strange guy.

*TSK*

'Shit! The hotdogs were nice though'

.

An hour and a half passed and Brian was still at it arranging documents and with me having nothing else to do I decided to do some information surfing with my eyes as I moved my head around and then by chance I looked over at one of the documents Brian had on his desk and it wrote on top UNIFICATION OF TREATMENT FACILITIES— BLE BY DOT LOG CHIPS

"Hmm?" I grunted

"I know you are bored but rightfully speaking you are supposed to be in school as I arrange all these stuff, not really my fault" Brian said and then smiled with eyes still planted on his work

"That's not it" I replied

"What is it then?" He asked flipping to the next page of his documents

"This document over here" I tapped on the header then separated the said document and pulled it out 

"What does it mean?" My inability to see the complete heading had restricted my understanding of the subject

*DROP*

He dropped his pen then took a pause from his work to looked at the file I had in my hand 

"Ooh that file, it's something that you wouldn't be able to understand" he smiled

"Common, since I have nothing else to do we can as well just talk about your work and pass the time, for starters we can go with this" I flailed the document in front of his face 

"Alright madam, alright" he transitioned from a smile to a chuckle and I could see that the tension from being chased from school and the kid outside had completely left him

"Well, as the name says UNIFICATION OF TREATMENT FACILITIES WITH PARAMOUNT MEDICARE IN THE UNITED STATES ACCESSIBLE BY DOT LOG CHIP..."

With the full name of the document being displayed I could already tell what the gist of it was but since I had already asked before I saw the full name I had to now complete the process.

Brian continued "Once i'm done checking it out and the Government approves it all hospitals in the United States are going to give easy access to people with the Dot Log implants since their chips would have already recorded more than half of what is wrong with them before they get to the hospital and therefore make the work of the doctors easier. No need for long waits to get a meeting with a doctor and something like that"

*SHH*

Brian gritted his teeth 

"Sorry I got carried away, was that too much for you to understand?"

"Oh, not at all. I understand perfectly and it is nice actually" I gave a fake smile which prompted Brian to continue

"We are doing great work here Amanda, just imagine... blah blah blah"

At this point I stopped paying attention to what Brian was saying. I was too pre-occupied with my own thoughts at the moment

'So that's how they started gaining clout with the Logs, first they brought the notion to easy medicare with it then for those still stubborn to get implants when the Pyrex 9 broke out they were treated like second class citizens to those who had the Logs making more people to want the logs and the benefits they brought... Very smart'

.

*TICK* *TOCK*

Another hour passed with me and Brian both sitting in silence 

'Looks like my coming here was a burst huh!? Fuck! I should have just returned when I failed entering into Brian's body but we know what other consequence that would have caused' I thought

"Sorry about not giving you attention on our father and daughter's day Amanda but now I'm done so let's get it on" He smiled

Just as he was getting ready with arranging the documents and keeping everything back in place the landline rang with a message from his assistant *RING*

*BEEP*

"Yes Eunice?" He answered 

"Sorry sir but I was just told to inform you that there is an emergency meeting scheduled for 1pm today and you are required to be in attendance"

"Seriously?"

'Whats going on?' My eyes fidget in anxiety

"Yes sir. I suggest that you start getting ready" She insisted

*BEEP*

He looked over at me with puppy dog eyes "I'm so sorry, I just got a meeting meant for next week moved to this afternoon by 1pm and I have to get things ready fast"

"1pm?" My expression changed and I got a boost of energy. 

Slouching on the chair earlier I sat upright and looked at the time on the clock behind me [12:31pm]

"Its almost 1pm Bri— dad"  I said and he took a look at his wrist watch to confirm.

*RUSH*

He found, prepared and arranged the needed documents for the meeting and fifteen minutes later the doors opened, it was his assistant coming in to remind him of the meeting scheduled for one 1pm in case he hadn't been serious with it over the phone

*SMILE*

This was my chance, the opportunity i had been looking for since i got here and now everything was lining up for me to carry out my plans. I almost couldn't contain my joy

"Amanda, i'm going to go to my meeting now but I'll be back soon, wait for me here and if you need anything Eunice will be right outside to take care of anything you need, Okay?"

"OK!" i replied.

*STEP*

Brian went out and seconds later poked his head into the office through the door saying "Since our father and daughter work day has been cancelled I will find a way to make it up to you, I promise. Alright bye" 

*CLICK*

Left all alone I locked the door behind them and contemplated on how I was going to get my hands on the GHA Dot Logs Black Box program from five stories up while it was in the sub level AKA the underground basement floor. 

I needed a plan and I needed it quick and not just any plan I needed a plan that accommodated my current dilemma, being in a grade schooler's body trying to sneak into a highly secured room, download codes and then return back without being caught. 

I didn't want to do anything that would change the current time stream I was in too much and just jumping into the wrong body had already made its own butterfly effects that I haven't calculated for.

.

.

Unlike my previous plan which needed Brian's body to work in the case of just strolling into the room using my ID card and biometrics to unlock all closed doors and using my authority figure as deterrent for any suspicious eyes but now I had to do a lot of sneaking around and bypassing in order to succeed.

For the plan to succeed I needed really suphisticated equipments to handle some aspects of the bypassing but since I didn't have those I had to look for easily assessible materials that could give me the same results. 

I looked around the office for said materials
