Chapter 3 Tuesday on the Streets I meet Geoff in Richmond Park at 6.30 on Tuesday morning.
2
A park is a good place to meet, away from watching eyes and listening ears.
3
We walk up Sawyer's Hill.
4
It's beautiful in the park in the early morning.
5
There's not many people at that time.
6
Maybe a walker with a dog or somebody running.
7
It's quiet and green with lots of big trees.
8
I love trees.
9
Jeff Clayton is not interested in trees.
10
Who is it? he says.
11
Who's my cyber thief?
12
Do you know yet?
13
No, I say.
14
I tell him about my day in his office.
15
It's one of your three designers,
16
I'm sure of it, but we need to catch them when they're doing it. But how, says Jeff.
17
I'm going to put a Trojan on your office computer.
18
When the designers turn on their laptops, the Trojan downloads.
19
I can then watch everything on their laptops, on my laptop.
20
But they know nothing about it.
21
I can see them, but they can't see me.
22
A Trojan, says Jeff, but they're dangerous.
23
Are you sure about this?
24
Where does this Trojan come from?
25
How do you get it?
26
A friend is writing it for me, I say.
27
What friend? Who?
28
Sorry, I can't tell you that, I say.
29
Look, do you want to catch this thief or not?
30
Trust me, We need to do this.
31
Then, when the Trojan is in place, you upload your costings for the new quotation.
32
What was it?
33
Blanding's something?
34
Blanding's house.
35
A Chinese bank is moving into the building.
36
They want everything new.
37
Which Chinese bank is that?
38
I ask.
39
Oh, I can't tell you that, Jeff says and looks at me.
40
I laugh, and after a minute, he laughs too.
41
And then we wait and watch, I say.
42
I use my motorbike when I want to move around London a lot.
43
I look like a motorbike messenger taking letters and packets from A to B.
44
The letters and packets never arrive, of course, but nobody knows that.
45
They just see a person all in black on a motorbike and think, Oh, a messenger.
46
Nobody sees your face.
47
Nobody knows your name.
48
Nobody remembers you.
49
This is good.
50
Harry, Ken and Anna are at work in the Clayton Electrics office, so I'm going to look at their homes.
51
Sometimes you learn things from a person's home.
52
Mary Bowman lives in a little house in a quiet street near Kew Gardens.
53
It's a nice house with a nice little garden in a nice street.
54
Lots of nice people in nice little houses.
55
I ride up and down the street once or twice, but it tells me nothing.
56
the same for Anna Lund.
57
She lives in an apartment in a house in Barnes.
58
There are four apartments in the house, but nobody is at home,
59
so I can't ask any questions.
60
I walk around the back of the house, but there is nothing to see.
61
Ken Okobi lives on Richmond Hill.
62
Big houses, big expensive houses, looking down over the River Thames.
63
I stop the bike by his house and get out my iPad.
64
I'm just a messenger checking an address.
65
A car arrives and stops outside the house.
66
An older man gets out and goes into the house, Ken's father.
67
The car is dark blue, long and low.
68
It's a Porsche.
69
Only very, very rich people drive a Porsche.
70
There are two small boys walking down the street carrying skateboards.
71
They stop next me and stare at my motorbike. Is that a Yamaha?
72
One of them says.
73
Yes, I say.
74
Do you like it?
75
Yeah, it's cool, the boy says.
76
What do you think of that car?
77
I say, looking at the Porsche.
78
I'd like one of those.
79
That's a really cool car.
80
That's Mr Okobi's Porsche, the other boy says.
81
He lives in this house here.
82
My dad knows him.
83
He's got lots of money then, I say.
84
He's an oil millionaire from Nigeria, my dad says.
85
He's got three cars, no, four, says the boy.
86
So Ken wears Gucci shoes because he has a rich daddy, not because he's a thief.
87
An interesting person.
88
He doesn't need to work with a rich family like that, but he does.
89
I like that.
90
The boys move on and I check my iPad for messages.
91
There's a green light on the screen.
92
Two emails.
93
One from Layla, one from the weasel.
94
The weasel's email has no message,
95
just a file attachment, a file called garden4flowers.exe.
96
It's the Trojan Horse Programme.
97
At ten o'clock that evening, Jeff Clayton and I meet outside his office.
98
Jeff opens the doors, puts the lights on, makes us a cup of coffee.
99
I sit down at the main computer and get out a memory stick.
100
What's on that stick? asks Jeff.
101
The Trojan.
102
My friend emailed it to me and I copied it onto this stick.
103
I put the stick into the computer and start to upload the Trojan file.
104
Jeff watches.
105
He's very worried.
106
Are you sure about this?
107
He says.
108
Trojans can do very bad things.
109
Yes, they can, I say, but I'm not doing bad things.
110
I'm just going to watch and catch your cyber thief, we hope.
111
Is your Blanding's house quotation ready yet?
112
Nearly, says Geoff.
113
I'm going to finish the last bits tonight.
114
OK.
115
Tomorrow morning, upload the Blandings file into the quotations folder on the office computer in the usual way,
116
and then tell the staff about it, but just quietly.
117
It's just another quotation.
118
Don't do or say anything different.
119
Just be normal.
120
I stand up and put my coat on.
121
Nothing's going to happen before tomorrow night when they take their laptops home.
122
Then you're on the night watch, Jeff says.
123
And what do I do?
124
Nothing, I say.
125
Stay at home.
126
Wait for my call.
127
Thank you.
128
Thank you.
129
Thank you.

À propos de cette leçon

Vous vous entraînez en anglais avec "Chapter 3" en utilisant la technique du Shadowing.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
