CHAPTER THREE

- Leigh, are you sure?
   He was not fever, David had just finished.
- Of course I do! I would not invent such a story!
- I'm not saying you're lying, I'm just wondering if you was not wrong with your screensaver, that's all.
- No, I was not wrong. This doesn't happen only with computers, but with all kinds of electronic equipment.
   Leigh was getting frustrated by trying to explain something like that to David. Neither he nor anyone else could understand what he had seen. After what happened with computers, he tried the same with mobile phones, televisions and even with the alarm clock that was on his bedside table. It was repeated every time, but adjusting to the type of equipment that he played.
- You are very connected to the technology, my boy. Are you sure you still want to proceed in robotics engineering?
- Are you implying that I'll go crazy?
- Of course not, you may lose your mind.
   Leigh gave a wry smile and headed to his room again. This time nothing happened when he used the laptop again. It was as if it had been a hallucination just to confuse him. With that, he tried to search something about it but could not have any information. No one could help him and even if this phenomenon happened again, he could not show it to anyone. Maybe it was the other studies, he thought, but if he really wanted to revolutionize the world of robotics, he could never rest and stop studying. However, he needed to see something more practical.

- David, where did my mother access that database?
   The question caught David, who was on the couch watching the television news, guard.
- Well, she accessed in a kind of laptop.
- A laptop?
- Not something a little smaller, but it had the same appearance. Why?
- I just wanted to find it.
- Maybe the hard drive is somewhere in her room.
- But I do not see anything there.
- You were looking for books, so you should not have been paying attention.
   Leigh returned to Holly's room and began to look for possible hard drive where the database is stored. He began searching the desk, then the floor near the bed, but found nothing. Thus, he decided to look again at the wardrobe and found a kind of lock on the bottom of the wardrobe, like a small door.
   The boy pulled to the side, and to his surprise, the little door was opening to reveal a black bag. Leigh took it from there and the bag was heavy.
   Inside was a computer that would actually be smaller than a standard laptop. Was that computer what Holly used to store all the database? He dismounted part and saw that the hard drive was there. Leigh rode it again and turned it on, but the screen required a password in which he did not know.
   The binary codes appeared again and, even without showing anything that could tell you the password, he knew what to type: DNAalpha20. That was the password and the computer has immediate access to him. How would Leigh know that password? The codes did not offer any help, but appeared again when he needed. How could happen it without he needed to order?
   However, what mattered now was to have access to Holly projects so he could study everything in detail and that he knew the types of work that his mother did.
   There was only a single folder with the name DNA Alpha 20, the same name that was in the password. Leigh opened the folder, but there was nothing. The folder was completely empty and there was no kind of file there. Holly should have hidden it somewhere else, but where?
