CTU in the server room
There are many servers and drives in the room that maintain and operate CTU. Paul closes the door and goes to a particular drive. He removes one of the cables that are connected behind the drive and then leaves the room.
On the second floor of the old building
Martha and Tom are in the room with their hands tied. The room has a small window fenced with iron bars. Tom stands on his toes and looks out.
"We're in the middle of nowhere," Tom says in frustration. "There is no structure here except this building."
"Don't worry, your father will come and get us out of here," Martha says.
"And how exactly will he find us, if we're in the middle of nowhere?!"
"You know your father works in a government office, he has the tools to find us," says Martha. "I believe we can get out of here."
Tom walks around the room and says, "What do these people want from us?"
"I don't know," Martha says. "But this morning your father said something had happened and that he wanted us to go to his brother, he probably knew we were in danger and he wanted us to be safe with his brother."
"What happened?" Asks Tom.
"He didn't tell me."

James enters a room looks at Lucas. Lucas holds the Device and on the table there are metal detectors and three different types of metals.
"Have you finished fixing the device?" Asks James.
"Yes, it's supposed to be working now," says Lucas.
"it'd better work," says James.
Lucas presses the blue button that turns on the device and after five seconds all the five lines on the device light green. Lucas takes the metal detector from the table and passes it over the first metal. There was no noise. Lucas passes the detector over the other two metals and still no noise.
"It works, the detector doesn't detect any metal," Lucas says.
"Great, good job," James says.
"You just have to know that because this device needs a lot of energy, its battery will only work for a few minutes," says Lucas. "You should turn it off if you don't use it."
"Okay," James says, pressing the blue button. The device is turned off.
"What about my money?" Asks Lucas.
"I already gave you half a million dollars," says James.
"Yes, and with that money I paid on the device."
"You'll get the other half when David Palmer dies," James says.
James takes the device and leaves the room.
CTU
Paul is a little nervous.
He goes to Chloe's position and says: "One of the servers is not working, can you fix it?"
"I'm working on something important now," Chloe says. "Why don't you ask Nicole to do it, she's better than me in repairing servers."
"There's a small problem on the server and I thought you could help me."
"So you can work on another server," says Chloe. "We have a lot of servers in CTU."

"I know, but the work I do now has to be done on this specific server."
"what job?"
"It's classified, I can't tell you," Paul says.
"So I can't help you."
"You've been working here for just a few weeks," Paul says. "The fact that Jack appreciates you and shares with you the information of the senior staff at CTU doesn't mean that you have the status of an employee who has been working here for years. You can't know everythingclassified that people do here. "
"All right," Chloe says reluctantly, shaking her head. "I'll fix the server for you."
Chloe gets out of the chair and leaves. Paul looks back and sees Chloe walking away. Paul waits for a few seconds and then takes out his card. He looks at it and suddenly hears: "Paul."
Paul is stressed out and his heart starts to knock. He turns and sees Chloe standing next to him. He hides the card with his hand behind his back.
"Yes," Paul says under pressure.
"I forgot to ask in which servers the problem is," says Chloe.
"Server 412," Paul says, and Chloe turns and walks away.
Paul looks at Chloe and waits. He sees that she turns left and walks out of the CTU main room, and Paul turns back to Chloe's computer, pulls the real card out of the computer and inserts the fake data card in. The two cards look the same. Paul puts the real card into his pocket and goes .
CTU
8:33:24, 8:33:25, 8:33:26, 8:33:27
Nicole sits in her position and talks on the phone.
"You don't know," Nicole says. "Well thank you."
Nicole hangs up and sees that Tony is close to her.
"Tony," Nicole says, and Tony looks at her. "I've already called more than five military bases and none of them knows anything about the device."
Tony goes over and says, "They developed this device in a secret base so it's reasonable to assume that no one knows or doesn't want us to know details about it. I want you to focus more on your work than to find information that probably we can't find on this device."
The Server room in CTU
Chloe walks into the room and walks to the computer in the room. She types in it the number of the server: 412. In the options she presses on the connection test option. The computer says: "One of the cables is not connected to the server." Chloe walks toward server number 412. She looks behind the server's drives and sees that in one of the drives one of the cables has come out. Chloe connects the cable to the drive. She goes to the computer and sees that it says: "The server is connected to the CTU system. Chloe closes the computer and leaves the room.

The Painter: A fantasy psych thriller and epic
*** June 21th Update ***- New chapters are being posted! I haven't figured out a schedule yet, but stay tuned!- Thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed, I'm happy to say The Painter is in the top 200 best-rated fictions. - Readers of The Painter have suggested reading through Chapter 6 before making a decision on this book.- The story takes place in the Lootverse, but you don't need a canonical understanding to appreciate the storyFinally, a warning or reader beware: This is not an action novel (despite the coming fight scene) but a slow-burn psychological thriller of sorts. For a time, the Painter's life was simple. He lived in the small town of Kinon (called Kinney by locals) with his wife, Kahriah and his son, Thesdon. The story begins with him alone and unable to travel more than a few hundred miles from his home. For 5 years he tried to chart his prison until one day a letter appears with a mysterious commission that will see him test his condition and his boundary. Set roughly 50 years before the impending end of days (from Loot canon), The Painter is a story about loss, grit, and exploration of a seemingly normal man in a world of magic and monsters. The Painter will follow the man on his adventure to restore his family, uncover his commissioners and discover the nature of his condition. Loot is the decentralized, global, community built fantasy world based on Dom Hoffman's art/tech experiment: Loot. Fun fact: The cover of our book is painted by the artist, who the MC is loosely based on and the same person painting the Banners (digitally) IRL for an art/worldbuilding project.

Hemophobia
Having a good life Chris never even thought about joining virtual reality. A lot of friends and even more girlfriends. Expensive clothes and cars. A handsome athletic look and highly intelligent mind. In addition a Family that can provide everything to him. Pretty much everything someone wants to have at the age of 20. However Chris starts to have second thoughts about his ''blessings'' and decides to join virtual reality with the purpose of having a very different life there.PS. There will be no violation (rape) scenes in my story. Rape, sadly, is part of our world with many culprits and victims and I don't accept to 'create' another victim OR culprit of such monstrosities, even if they are fictional. The story in general will remain on the bright side most of the time.
