"Yes. Some rookies….yes. They seem to be really gear up about it….yes, yes. I would inform madam right away. Thank you.", the call ended and the lady receiving it quickly dialed another. Ringing.
"Hello….Mr. Pitt, There's an urgent message for madam. That new company, which visited us last week is proposing a challenge and it's catching attention of the media and public…..you know? So, what statement to release….. yes….noted…..yes…."

"Are we ready?" Her eyes waiting for the signal. The counting began, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,…....LIVE, "Good morning to all the viewers, I, Amelia Keller, welcome you to the daily news. The sensation in the nation is currently around The Alpen tech. The Swiss major Tech. Company ranking 1rst for consecutive 15 years has faced extreme criticism currently as news of an emerging company in the streets of Switzerland has reportedly known to disclose the lack of security in the services provided by the Alpen. This nascent company christened The Fründlich has gained attention since a few weeks after first case was reported in a small estate company using a safety software of the Alpen. Gossips about them kept on lingering with some supporting them and many criticizing them as attention seekers trying to use the big company's name. But things have accelerated fast, and this small company had now directly challenged and are ready to confront. With a great number of people supporting them, this seems to take interesting turns. Keep watching to stay updated. We'll be back after a commercial break."
"Oh my freaking lord! I can't believe this holy sh*t. We were mentioned on the freaking news channel.", a young women in her early 20s hopped over the couch in a place which looked like a studio with enough banners around to tell, it was that trending the Fründlich. It was small but looked cozy with few people here and there. The first was she herself, Danny or Daniela, a 22 year old American immigrant, and a college drop out. The other was a man, Roberto Bernasconi in the corner sitting in front of the screen, 43, once an honorable employee of the cyber crime department.
The other was playing video games, a 26 year old, computer science major, Noah. Another busy figure was right behind him, which was no other than his mother, Sally Schmidt busy with her dishes, just when the door banged open, "Boss!", Danny beamed, "We're on the news!" And so this was the last person to introduce, Noah, 26 year old, computer science gold medalist. Danny jumped in front of him hugging him tightly. Her happiness was on next level that she didn't even noticed the coffee cups in his hands, turning the whole scene into a mess. Mrs. Schmidt was of course the first to react. "Look at this young lady. Another mess to be cleaned now." Danny slipped real swift to grab the mop before she was about to hit her hard.
Noah familiar with the chaos, moved to his desk where Trevor joined in quick, "Did they replied back?" Noah asked , to which he shook his head.
"Jesus!", Mr. Bernasconi banged hid desk, "Just come here, you two."
Both of them rushed to him, both peeping by his shoulder from each side. The inbox on the screen showed the mail from the Alpen.
Dear Noah,
The Fründlich
We hereby inform you that regarding your recent approaches to capture our shortcomings….
Noah was reading fast skipping the filler words…the challenge was…accepted…Monday, 12 Noon, the annual Alpen cyber seminar….address, sign the chairwoman, Sussane Heister.
KNOCK KNOCK, "May I come in madam?" This was Harry Pitt, senior assistant of the chairwoman. His steps firm as usual moved towards the shadow taking shape of the woman in her late 40s, "I have taken actions as per your instructions. Everything as per your plan is also in progress."
"That isn't important. What about my daughter?"
"Yes, madam. Miss will be landing soon. The driver is already sent."
