Chapter 226

Chapter 0226 “The million dollar question. We are going to shoot around ideas tonight over pizza.” Alec sounded worn out.

“I don’t understand why we can’t find anything they own. Even if it is an alias, they will still have to have the money transferred somewhere. There will be a money trail. Same P.O. box or some bank. Has anyone thought about tapping into their phone system?”

“What?” Alec looked out of the shower at me.

“Well, we do all of our banking over the phone and fax. There is an app so you can scan or take a picture of any check to deposit. I mean, I doubt dad has set a foot in a bank in decades. It wouldn’t be like we could follow him but his phone would have all the numbers to where he is calling. We could find out what bank he is using. What buildings he is calling. Everything.”

“We would have to sneak into his territory for that.” Alec said like he was actually thinking about it.

“No. You could just hack whatever provider he is using and find out his records that way. Unless you want to listen into his calls, then yes you would have to go into his territory.”

“There are only two major phone companies out here.” Alec said quietly.

“Yes, sir.”

Alec turned off the water and got out. Wrapping a towel around himself, he walked into the livingroom. So, we could find someone to hack into the phone company and get his information. Then we could search for the phone numbers and find out where they go to.”

“In theory, yes. If the number is unlisted, then you would run into other issues but yeah. However, if the same company gave survive to the unlisted numbers, you could just look up that number too and figure out who it goes to.”

“How do we find the right numbers for their territory?”

“They probably have a dozen or so, just like we do. However, it goes off location. If it goes to a cell, we can find that number and ping it’s location. However, the physical address will be in their system because that is how they know which power lines are used to h ook into.” I shrugged as I watched him get dressed. Apparently, I got his mind working so much he forgot about my mouth.

“Interesting” Alec seemed deep in his own mind.

“You could take it further and look for internet as well as data. If they are only paying for data and using the internet to make their phones work, you can trace that too. You would be able to know which devices ”

1/2 phones and don’t even realize it.”

“That is....” There was a knock on the door. “... crazy to even think about.” Alec walked over and opened the door.

“I got the pizza down stairs.” Jasper was standing at the door with his hands in his pockets. He was just wearing gym shorts and that was it.

I started walking to the door. “I’m hungry.” My stomach rumbled as on que.

“You had a long day?” Jasper looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

“Just stared at a computer screen all day.” I shrugged as Alec closed and locked the door behind us. “I guess my mouth will have to wait.” I said in the mind-link. Alec looked at me and narrowed his eyes. All he got in response was a smile.

“That sounds terrible.” Jasper said. His voice was laced with sarcasm.

“I would have much rather been blowing s hit up all day.”

“You could have been blowing me...” Alec grumbled in the mind-link.
