*Excerpt*
And then he saw it—the word that had been echoing in his head on repeat.
//MANUAL INSTALLATION REQUIRED AT WAYPOINT.
Hundreds of characters followed, lined up in an alphanumeric string that went on for pages. Completely unique and indecipherable—it was intended for one specific machine. Only with this nano-drive would the tumblers slide into alignment and grant them entry.
“It’s a key,” Simon said aloud, not sure if he was saying it for his brother’s benefit, or if he just needed to hear it.
“Where’s the lock?” West stared at the screen in confusion, eyes glazed over.
Simon pointed to the comment left behind by the faceless programmers. “Waypoint.”
“That’s what the guy said!” West exclaimed. “But, where’s that?”
Simon sighed loudly. That was the problem, wasn’t it? This drive was only usable at Waypoint, but how was he supposed to know where that was?
“I don’t know, but I think I might know where to find out.” He stood and crossed over to the map on his wall. How long had he stared at this thing from the fold-out bed his parents kept in their basement? He pointed at a building that had been circled in various inks, dozens of rotations that had pressed an indent into the paper.
“What is that place?” West’s eyes were wide, the tension in the room heavy.
“It’s the United Nations Capitol Building in Washington, DC.”
West pointed to another spot on the map nearby. “And what’s this?”
Simon rolled his eyes. “That’s a coffee shop, West.” He glared scornfully at his oblivious brother.
West scowled. “Well dammit, Simon! How in the hell was I supposed to know that? It’s on your crazy-serial-killer wall.” He gestured around wildly. “I assumed it was some kind of evil lair. Honestly, you don’t have to make me feel so dumb all the time!”
Simon raised an eyebrow.
“You know what? Never mind!” West threw his arms up.
Simon snorted before sobering up. “How am I going to get to DC? It’s over five hundred miles away.”
West met his eyes for a long moment before correcting him: “You mean, how are we going to get to DC?”
“Excuse me?”
“We.” West didn’t look like he was going to budge on the matter. “We’re supposed to stay together, right? If you go, then I go.”
“Okay,” he said, feeling out of breath. Were they on the same page? That hadn’t happened in years.
