Trinity

~~

After seeing off everyone that we had invited to the meeting, Reece and I went upstairs to the tower while Vincent and Gabriel went home. They had been the only guards and assistants that were there with us through the night, and they both needed their rest now. Personally, I was going to say goodbye to the children and see them off before going to sleep for a few hours.

“Have you been up all night?” Reagan asked Reece and I as we walked into the dining room. All of the kids were there and finishing up their food before leaving for school.

“We had a meeting last night. It lasted a long time.” I told him as I literally fell into the chair that was waiting for me.

“Queen Trinity, would you like me to get you some coffee?” Roisin asked as she stepped closer to the table.

“No, I plan to go to sleep after the kids leave.” I told her. “Thank you though.”

“Queen Trinity, might I remind you that you have two FBI agents still working in your office.” Peter, the lead butler, stepped closer as well. “I do not think that you will have the time to go to rest at this moment.”

…..

“Ahh, yes, you are right.” I nodded at him. At the same time, I noticed that Reece’s shoulders fell dejectedly.

“I will get you and King Reece some coffee. And I will make sure that it is extra strong.” Roisin’s voice was calming and a little apologetic.

“Thank you.” I nodded at her before she disappeared into the other room.

“Why did you have such a long meeting, Mommy?” Zander asked me calmly. “Was it about the stuff you said last night?”

“Yes, sweetheart, it is.” I nodded. “Mommy and Daddy talked to other people that can help us last night. We need to make sure that we do a lot of things to make this reveal go smoothly.”

“I am here if you need me.” Reagan reminded us.

“As am I.” Rika’s voice came next.

“I will help as well, Mom.” Talia added lastly.

“We won’t bother to offer our help. I know that you will say that we are too young.” Zaley was looking at her brothers rather than me or Reece.

“You are too young.” I told her. “But you can do something for us right now.”

“What’s that?” Zayden asked excitedly.

“Don’t tell anyone about the reveal yet. It’s a secret until we are all ready for it.”

“No worries, Mommy. We will keep the secret.” Zachary smiled at me. “We know what is secret and what isn’t.”

“Thank you, all of you.”

We kissed and hugged the kids as they left the room, ate the meal that Abigail brought in for us, and had the coffee that Roisin expertly prepared for us. I swear, her Fae powers had to make it better somehow. No coffee that I had, no matter where it was from, compared to what she made for me. It was always the strongest, and it always tasted the best. I loved every drop of it.

Several minutes later, with the caffeine coursing through my veins with a jolt of energy, Reece and I started to head down to my office. It was time to see if Darrol and Reggie had managed to find anything. For our sake, I really, really, really hoped that they had.

Upon entering my office, I saw that Darrol was still working hard at the computer. Reggie, on the other hand, seemed to have passed out as she laid across several chairs that had been pushed together.

“Good morning.” I called out to them. That made them both jerk to attention, and in Reggie’s case awake.

“H..huh?” She looked around the room, saw Reece and I standing there, and rubbed her eyes. “D..did I fall asleep?”

“Yeah, you did.” Darrol laughed. “And you even made yourself a bed. Though I swear you were sleepwalking when you did it.”

“I don’t remember doing that at all.” She looked down at the chairs in surprise. “I..I am so sorry, Queen Trinity.” She rushed off the chairs as if she thought that I had been upset about it.”

“It is fine, Reggie.” I waved her words away. “I would have slept if I had the chance. Be that as it may, Darrol, why did you work through the night?”

“I had a lot of work to do.” He said as he sipped from his thermos of coffee. “And I had a lot of this to keep me company.”

“He was drinking coffee like it was water.” Reggie shook her head. “I drink the stuff, but I don’t like it that much.”

“And that is why I managed to stay awake and you did not.” Darrol sipped again. “Anyway, Queen Trinity, I had to set up the systems. It’s not enough just to hook up a computer. You need to get it formatted properly before you can hack with it. I will say though, this system is a blessing. These pieces are the best that money can buy. I just needed to get the proper software onto them before I was able to hack into any systems. And I made sure that I took my time as well.” He was looking at the screens as he spoke. “I didn’t want to move too fast and set off their alarms.”

“So, does that mean that you were able to get into their systems?” I sat at my desk and eyed him excitedly.

“Oh yes, I managed it.” He grinned at me. “And I set up a nice little goodie bag for us as well.” His eyes were glinting as he spoke, but he still had his eyes glued to the screen in front of him. “I have been going through the information ever since I collected it. Thankfully, it was in the middle of the night when I cracked into their systems. And that means that there were a lot less eyes on their mainframe. They likely won’t notice that anything happened at all. And it was a clean copy of their system, so there is no evidence left behind from the heist.”

I shook my head after listening to Darrol’s words. I knew what he was saying, I really did, but my sleep deprived brain just wasn’t keeping up with him at the moment.

“I don’t get it. Didn’t you say you left a goodie bag?”

“Ahh, yes, that. I did leave a goodie bag, but this isn’t something that is immediately noticeable. It’s a collection virus. It won’t affect their systems at all, it just copies everything that their systems do. This will allow us to collect more information as they enter it. And all of that information is then uploaded to a secure remote server. It will be untraceable when I collect that information for us. Which means that even if they discover this virus, they won’t be able to trace it back to me at all.”

“As long as it is untraceable, then I am all for it. I don’t want to put any of us in danger, but I agree that we need as much information as possible. When the reveal is over, and when we are all safe, we can remove that virus from their system.”

“Yes, of course Queen Trinity, that won’t be an issue at all.” Darrol grinned knowingly. “Now, as I was saying earlier, I collected a lot of information that I will need to sort through, but I first went through the files from the man that visited Director Otsana. Agent Orson had a lot of files on a lot of people, but there wasn’t much substance to any of them. The bulk of his information seemed to be focused on the lack of aging. I am still going through it all, but I don’t think that they are anywhere near a public announcement just yet.”

“That is good news.” I felt a rush of relief. “If they aren’t too close to the truth yet, then I don’t think that we need to worry as much. We are moving at a quick pace to get all of this done. We should have all of this completed long before they have the chance to reveal anything to the press about us.”

“I agree.” Reece said as he sat next to me in another chair. I think he could tell that I wasn’t really wanting to sit with him at the moment. If he pulled me onto his lap I would probably fall right to sleep. “However, we can’t afford to drop our guard just yet. Reggie?” Reece called to her, and she perked up again. I could tell that she had been up almost the entire night as well.

“Mmhmm?” She looked up at him sleepily. “Yes, King Reece?”

“I want you to help Darrol sort the information that he has collected. Later today, in the afternoon, I will have a couple more sets of hands for you.”

“O..O..O..OK.” Reggie yawned out the word, starting it over and over again in the attempt to get it out.

“For the time being, both of you need to get some sleep. Go to the rooms that we have prepared for you. Trinity and I are going to get some sleep as well. A few hours at the very least. None of us are any good in this situation unless we are rested and can think.”

“Aww, I have to stop working?” Darrol said as he tore his eyes away from the computer screen.

“For a little bit, Darrol, that is all. You need to sleep. You need to be rested so that you can work effectively. Later, you will have more help to sort the information that you have.”

“OK, I understand.” Darrol rose from the computer and stretched his body. I heard several groans, creaks, and pops as he moved. I could tell that he had been in the same position for a long time. That was the only thing that would explain the noises that his body made just then.

“Come on, Trinity.” Reece reached for me. “Let us get some sleep. We need our rest as well.”

“Yeah, I agree.” I nodded at him. That burst of energy from the coffee was already wearing off. I was exhausted after yesterday.

I took Reece’s hand and let him pull me toward the elevator. Darrol and Reggie were heading in the other direction, toward the guest homes that were part of the castle. They would be fine on their own, there were a lot of people here that would be able to help them.

Stepping into the elevator, Reece pressed the button for the top, where our room was. I sent a message to Roisin and let her know that Reece and I were going to bed. I didn’t need her going into our room to clean it while we were sleeping. That wouldn’t be fun at all.
