Sean     

Not a single day passed without Sean thinking about the app that seemed to be taking the internet by storm. The first video had gone viral within hours, amassing an overwhelming number of views. Two days after the release of the first winner, Sean began investigating the app’s origins and its IP address. Despite his focused efforts, using his specialized access to information far beyond the reach of the public, he came up empty-handed. Where there should be detailed data, there were scrambled text and unfamiliar symbols. 

Sean reached out to a few former contacts, pulling strings to see if they could uncover any details about the elusive app. Every lead hit a dead end.

“Whoever’s behind this is a genius,” Sean muttered aloud, scratching his head. “It takes a brilliant mind to hide and encrypt this much information. I still can’t figure out how they’ve managed to cloak their location.” Sean did not like the unknown, and this was starting to fester deep inside his soul.
