Evidence

“Thanks for meeting me so early”, V’s low voice projects from my laptop. “Well you seemed to take serious interest in my post. Do you really think this video could help unravel some truth?” the man asks sincerely. V gives the man an assuring nod then asks to see the video again. He clarifies that he needs to inspect the original video taken from the device to confirm that it was untampered, the man agrees. V’s low profile glasses projects a POV on my screen in live time and 4k res. In V’s hand, I see an iPhone, displaying a video of a levitating semi-translucent cube in the sky. To be honest, this is one of the clearest videos i’ve seen so far. Without hesitation, I use the remote backdoor device stored in V’s pocket to hack into the mans phone to remove the video and install a malware virus. V looks at his watch, on it a message displayed “Got it V, job done.” V hands the phone back to the man without a word, gets into his truck and leaves him standing there in confusion.
