Joey withdrew his hand, raised his head slightly and asked, You want to help? You even dont know how to recover data. Now a hacker has invaded the system, and even they cant solve it. Now tell me, apart from causing more trouble for them, what else can you possibly do to salvage the situation?
Gatlin was very embarrassed by the fact that he was being teased by a child who happened to be just three years of age. His lips twitched slightly as a result of that. Still, he could not find a plausible reason to refute him.
If one was to carefully consider the situation, the boy had a very good point.
Nonetheless, everyone is busy with something. So it wont be appropriate for me to just stand here and do nothing. I should at least make myself useful by bringing them some water, documents or anything!
But what reason have you got to bother yourself so much? Joey asked clearly and unemotionally.

Only minutes ago, I heard the director talking about how useless you are. He concluded by saying that you will lose your job any moment from now.
The boys words made Gatlin feel very discouraged. He pursed his lips into a straight line, frowned his face and became hesitant.
One of Joeys hands was now in his pocket. Then, he turned his head to look at the computer screen nearest to him. The messy code was still flicking, and the warning alarm became even louder. This noise was accompanied by the sound of the keyboard.
Now the hacker only attacked their outer security system, but if they didnt fix the flaw as soon as possible, the firewall formed would be broken in less than five minute. If this wasnt stopped, the hacker could easily take anything he wanted from their database.
Almost two minutes have passed to no avail! What on earth is going on here? The director lost his patience.
Sir, this is insanely covert. I dont think we can track it!
Oh no, sir. The hacker has successfully broken through our second line of defense!
There is a call from Mr. Salazar!
Beads of sweat began to form on everyones forehead. But nobody dared to stop working for even a split second.
Despite all their effort as regards repairing the flaw, nothing seemed to be of any considerable effect. The hacker kept penetrating through the defenses at the last moment, as if he was provoking them intentionally.
Soon, the director answered the phone call from James. He walked aside and kept explaining. In a matter of minutes, his face changed several times.
Yes, Mr. Salazar. Do not worry about it. We will handle the problem well. Theres no big deal. Just give us some time to solve it.
Despite the fact that James was not present in person and his voice merely echoed from the phones speaker, the director acted rather humble.
I have got to go in and help them in any capacity I can, Gatlin said after taking a gaze at the central control room and seeing how messy it had become.
Are you sure about that?
Of course, I am! Gatlin nodded seriously.
Yes, you are right. The director doesnt like me very much. The man thinks that I cant work here simply because of his nepotistic views. As a result, he has always wanted to fire me. But now, the lab is being attacked by a hacker. If I dont try my best to help and the hacker succeeds in stealing all the important information in the database, then all the effort weve jointly put into our work on a daily basis for over two years, will just go down the drain!

This time, Joey listened quietly to everything he had to say without attempting to interrupt his speech in any way.
Gatlin forced a smile.
Hence, its best for me to go in, whether or not I may be able to help them. Thats better than just watching from a distance, dont you think so? If after everything, we still fail, then, at least I wont feel guilty.
