Avery Ryan Csi: Cyber Novels & Stories

Rayne wondered and I nodded, explaining the card thing to her. "So if five people have the card, it means only these people know the dimensions of the cameras, excluding 2 of them which are you and Roland, that leaves three suspects," Rayne thought out loud. "What makes you remove Adrian and me from being suspects?" Roland asked her and I could tell that she was startled. "What are you trying to tell the poor girl?" Olivia spoke.

“I’ll do my investigations. If I find out there was never any volunteer work , you won’t deal with me. You’ll deal with Ryder.” At the mention of Ryder’s name, Arden froze. His throat tightened, and he swallowed hard as fear shot through him. Ryan turned and walked toward the door and left, locking the door behind him...

To my surprise, Ryan was waiting for us in the living room, a laptop open in front of him. “What are you doing?” “Investigating,” he said curtly, typing on the keyboard faster than someone I thought who lived in the forest would be able to. Peter set me down and stomped to him, his shoulders tense as if he was squaring up for a fight. Ryan did not move as Peter bent over his shoulder to watch what he was doing. “Which is it?” Ryan asked. I glared at Peter pointedly. “The second one.” Peter saw the screen and his gaze sharpened. “That cannot be right. He was on campus all day yesterday and today.”

Ethan sat opposite to Ryan, his face unreadable, while Rafael remained standing, his eyes narrowing as he watched both men. Detective Harris opened a file and finally looked at Ryan. "You're in a heap of trouble, Ryan. Hacking into the system of a major corporation doesn't go away with a slap on the wrist. We need the truth, and we need it now." The smirk contorted Ryan's lips. "I've told you, man, I've been set up. I was doing a job, and now I'm the one getting screwed." "Who hired you?" pressed on Detective Harris.

He was watching Ara in that way he had, not staring, like he was tracking something she could not see yet. "Who," she said. "Who could even do that? Players with the system should have an edge over everyone. Who is strong enough to hunt them?" Silas picked up the tablet again and pulled up a second file. He turned it toward her without a word. The name at the top of the page was Ryan's. Ara stared at it. Then she read the rest of the file slowly..

She waited, tension already gathering in her shoulders. "I want to be clear about something first," Ryan said. "I'm not calling as a competitor sniffing around Cole Group's troubles. That's not who I am, and I hope after all these years you know that about me. I came across this because a case I'm consulting on intersects with an old paper trail, and once I saw the names on it, I couldn't sit on it. Not when it might concern you." Ava's grip on the phone tightened, some old instinct bracing her before she understood what for.

“Ray’s accounts went dark overnight. He’s preparing to run.” I crossed my arms, leaning on the counter. “Then we chase him harder. He doesn’t get to fuck with my father’s name and walk away breathing easy.” He looked up, his gaze lingering on me for a second longer than usual. “You haven’t slept.” I shrugged. “Sleep is a luxury I’ll enjoy after I bury Ray Jenner.” He almost smiled at that but didn’t. Instead, he grabbed his coat. “Let’s move. I’ve arranged a meeting with the cyber forensics team. They traced one of the accounts used to upload the fake article.”

Ryan transmitted the information immediately through a wireless handset. “I’ve delivered it to all the sub-bosses,” Ryan said. As the car drove out of the massive Hawthorne gate, Remy kept his eyes on the surroundings. He had many enemies, but none had ever dared to approach what belonged to him. He wouldn’t wait for them to call for what they wanted; he would strike every suspect and make them answer to him. “Don, there’s no record of Lyra Jenson having a restaurant reservation anywhere,” Ryan said, looking up from his ruggedized end-user device.

" Cyrus was filled with rage. He silently cursed, wishing he could punch Javier in the face to shut him up. His original intention was to take Jasper away and minimize any impact. Yet, Javier had interfered and disrupted his work, seemingly trying to amplify the issue. How unfortunate. If only Newton had another child, the Beckett family's business wouldn't have ended up in this bonehead's hands! "Apologies, Mr. Javier. I must take this man away today no matter what." Right at this moment, three plainclothes officers rushed out from the crowd and presented their identifications. Cyrus gritted his teeth when he saw the leader—an arrogant man named Rio Olson, the chief of the Second Criminal I

Eve and Kane said simultaneously. "—Officer Rodriguez, Officer Santos, Agent Davidson from the FBI, and Officer Kingsley." Martinez continued without missing a beat. "Officer Kingsley works with our cyber crimes unit. Specializes in online fraud, darknet trafficking, cryptocurrency laundering. If it happens on a computer, Kingsley knows about it." Officer Kingsley, give Eve a small wave. "We also met. Sort of. At the airport. Before I knew who you were." Eve wanted the floor to open up and swallow her. "Can we focus on the case?"
