Van reveals some devastating news to Lyla 💙

Ice Cold Masterlist Main Masterlist

Anyone would think that I was crazy sitting out on the balcony in just my underwear and a thin shirt in the middle of December, but it was safe out there. I couldn't see what Van was doing, I couldn't hear what he was doing and if I screwed my eyes shut tight I could almost transport myself somewhere else. Almost. The cold winter wind and icy drizzle nipped at my flesh mercilessly and was a constant reminder of where I was and the fact that the man I'd let so easily into my life was capable of unspeakable things and I'd just left him to it. Stepped aside and let things happen.

After around twenty minutes I was shivering violently, soaked to the skin and I'd lost all feeling in my extremities, so I reluctantly made my way to the balcony door, my fingers closing around the door handle, pausing to take a deep inhale. Maybe I shouldn't be hiding out here like a coward. Maybe I needed to face up to things and see for myself the darker side of the man who'd stolen both my heart and my mind.

The door slid open with no resistance and I slipped back into the room, surprised to see it empty with nothing to indicate that it had been occupied by the two men apart from the obvious signs of my earlier fight. Then I heard a dull thud followed by a ghastly groan and my head snapped up to note the closed bathroom door. I certainly wasn't going to open it.

I left the balcony door open and crossed to the chair where Van had placed his coat, delving into the pockets. I wasn't sure what I was looking for, driven by a desperation to find out something about the man who was still largely a mystery to me. There was a folded switchblade, a packet of cigarettes, a lighter, and a mobile phone. I deftly jabbed at the phone, bringing the screen to life, furtively glancing in the direction of the bathroom to check I was undisturbed. The phone was practically blank, no apps and no text messages, not even a list of contacts, just a few sent and received calls to numbers that meant nothing to me. I was just about to replace it when I had a sudden flash of inspiration, keying in my number and placing a call to my own phone which I quickly ended as soon as it connected. Of course I knew how things worked. Criminals like Van would never keep one phone for long, they would use a succession of unregistered 'burner' phones that couldn't be traced, replacing them regularly to carry out their illegal activities. Even so, just the thought that I might be able to contact him rather than waiting for his call gave me a sense of comfort.

The sound of running water from the bathroom saw me hastily plunge the phone back into Van's coat pocket and step away until I was standing with my back pressed against the opposite wall. I was still standing there when Van emerged only seconds later, stepping into the room and leaning back against the door, eyes fixed on me with a hint of wariness which I wasn't expecting. He moved a hand up to push it through his still damp hair and I found myself inspecting both of his hands, looking for traces of blood, evidence of his crimes. There was none. I supposed he'd washed it away. He was meticulous after all.

"Is he... dead?" I asked, already knowing the answer but needing to hear it, wanting to see if snuffing a life out in such a brutal manner really did have any visible effect on him.

"Yes he is," he said plainly, and I was surprised to see something behind the steeliness. I waited, sensing he had more to say, and I was stunned when he did.

"I don't like you to see that side of me. I wish you didn't have to."

"Maybe... I want to see... all sides of you," I answered hesitantly. "The good and the bad. That's the only way you really get to know a person isn't it?"

"And what happens when you uncover something you wish you hadn't? What then, huh? There's no going back."

Frustration wracked me, but I knew I couldn't push him. Whatever dark secrets dwelled in him were buried deep, eating away at him, tormenting his soul and leading him on the path that he'd taken. But that same path had also led him to me. There had to be something in that.

"Maybe I don't want to go back..." I said quietly. "Ever... This is it now..."

He stood still for a moment like I'd astounded him with my words, then he dropped his head, stepping across the room where he dug in his coat pocket for his cigarettes. I watched as he drew out the chair, moving it over to the open balcony door. He sat down, facing me, slipping a cigarette between his lips and lighting up.

"I think it's about time I told you a few things." His eyes held a swirl of emotions as they came to rest on my face, a depth that I was starting to see more of.

I was still, waiting, full of intrigue but frightened as well. My life wasn't something I seemed to have control of anymore, and it was careering faster and faster towards some conclusion I couldn't even begin to imagine. The thought of finding out that destination terrified me.

Van took a deep inhale, tipping his head towards the open doorway and blowing out the smoke into the night. "What if I told you that evil had a name? And I knew that name?"

"You've got to stop talking in riddles... you've got to..."

"I know who ordered the hit on your dad."

It felt like all the air had been instantly sucked out of the room. I gasped for breath, a hand shooting up to my mouth, my body folding like crumpled paper. I hit the floor on my knees, hot tears stinging my eyes.

Van remained where he was, still but not impassive. He looked like he wanted to reach out to me but he didn't know how. "Van..." I breathed, feeling a rush of nausea hit the back of my throat. I swallowed deeply, tried to still the hurricane of thoughts that raged through my head, but I couldn't.

He sighed then, a weary sound full of regret. I watched him take a drag from the cigarette, then another. I fixed my stare on the glowing embers, tears clouding my vision, waiting to hear more.

Eventually he flicked the butt out the balcony door and turned to me, leaning forward in the seat, his elbows resting on his knees, his hands clasped loosely in front of him.

"I wanted to kill him... before I told you, I wanted to obliterate him from the face of the earth. Things haven't gone to plan though. He's like a shadow, a ghost... well I suppose he's a dead man so that's fitting..."

"A dead man? What do you mean? Are you going to tell me who it is?" My voice was a cracked whisper, the tears flowing freely now.

A look of intense distaste crossed Van's face, like even having the name on his tongue was toxic. When he spoke the words dripped with so much hatred it made me shudder.

"It was Tommy Chappell..."

My mind scrambled, trying to make sense of it. It couldn't be. He was a dead man. I'd heard the stories countless times from my dad, the hero who finally brought Tommy down. He'd drowned in The Thames, condemned to a watery grave for all the pain and suffering that he'd caused.

"I... I don't understand," I stuttered. "There was a car chase. It was my dad... he actually saw his car go into the river. He died. I mean, they never found a body, but he couldn't have survived. The flood waters were up that winter. Everyone knows the story."

"He got out, don't ask me how, but he did. He must have gone into hiding. God knows he had enough friends in high places who would have helped him."

Van reached for his cigarette packet again, shifting in his seat, agitated, anger bubbling up inside of him. That's when the realisation hit me. Tommy was also responsible for killing Van's whole family too. The picture of Van as a traumatised child flashed through my mind, and I wondered how long he'd known, how long he'd harboured this painful secret, this desire for revenge. He lit up again, pulling hard on his cigarette, lips pulled into a snarl as he spoke again.

"That's just the thing with Tommy, he's got people everywhere... the police... the fucking government... even the agency that you work for..."

"What?"

"He did back then, and he still does now," Van confirmed. "Of course there might be more than one. Whoever was working for Tommy back then might not be the same person who's working for him now, but there's definitely someone bent in the agency right now. I didn't get a name, but that's who sent that prick in the bathroom to kill you. You can't trust anyone... not any more."

The revelation hit me like a tonne of bricks, my mind whirring manically, in danger of spinning completely out of control. There were so many good agents who I worked alongside, most of them who I would trust unequivocally with my life. Jen and Raj and many more. Paul...

Fuck... the thought of Paul's possible duplicity felt like a knife through my heart. The idea that he could have betrayed my father was unthinkable, but now it had formed in my mind I couldn't shake it. It crept in like a putrid, festering rot, taking root, tainting the idealistic image of the man who'd often been like a father to me and a brother to my dad. I tasted bile in my mouth, my stomach clenching with the sickening thought.

You can't trust anyone...

I placed my hands on the carpeted floor, as if to steadily myself whilst my world collapsed around me. Van sat there motionless but his expression was agonised.

"I'm going to find out who it is," he said, his voice gruff with anger. "I'm going to find out and then I'm going to kill them. I'll kill all of them... anyone who's involved with Tommy. Every last fucking one of them."

I looked up at him, deep into those blue eyes that I used to fear, saw the conviction in them, the vow that he was making. I knew then that he would stop at nothing, even sacrificing himself to see his deadly pledge to its final conclusion.

The realisation shocked me through to my core, overwhelming me. Even with the knowledge that I was now privy to, I knew there was more. I'd only just scratched the surface of this complex puzzle that I was a part of. I'd still not plumbed the depths that would reveal the true nature of Van's feelings and his harrowing past.

Questions and possibilities flitted through my mind with a jumble of emotions as I tried to piece together how Tommy could have faked his own death and stayed hidden for so long whilst heading up the largest criminal network the country had ever seen.

"I just can't believe it. Tommy Chappell... I mean he was bad back in the day... really bad. But compared to what we're dealing with now he was small time. We're not just talking protection rackets and vice and selling drugs to the Northern cities."

Van nodded, his expression grim. "He's moved on. He's selling arms and people trafficking now, international drugs trading and worse... much, much worse..."

He screwed his eyes shut momentarily, trying to compose himself. "The company he keeps, the vile pieces of shit that he protects, that's why he's where he is today. It's not just gangsters and criminals... it's politicians and government officials, high ranking police officers. They carry on doing their sick fucking shit and he enables it. I just sit and wait until one of them steps out of line... and then I get the nod to step in.... and that suits me just fine..."

He smiled then but it was full of malice and it slipped away as soon as he started speaking again. "Tommy never got his hands dirty. He left all of that to me. He just sits there in his ivory tower, giving out the orders, raking in the cash."

He paused, reaching for his cigarettes yet again, inhaling the smoke into his lungs deeply as soon as one was lit. I took the chance to speak. "How long have you known... that it was Tommy?"

"Not long. I suspected, but it's taken me years to find out for sure... I was even trying before I got the job. And when I did my orders to kill came through a handler. No one gets to see Tommy or hear from him directly you see. He's clever. There's layer upon layer in this organisation, all there to protect him and his inner fucking circle." He spat out the last line in disgust, his temper mounting again. "And now I found out the truth just like your dad did so he wants me dead. They all do. But they don't know what they're dealing with. They want a battle? I'll bring them a fucking war."

Unfettered rage was seething inside Van, a boiling hot lava that was contained for now but only just. It simmered in his eyes and the tension in his muscles, taut and coiled, driven by his anguish and desire for revenge, a need which consumed him.

It sparked something inside me too. The brutal injustice of it all, my dad's death... countless other innocent lives shattered and torn apart mindlessly, and for what? One man's thirst for power and wealth that overshadowed all sense of morality. He needed to be stopped.

"I want to be there when you kill Tommy," I suddenly blurted, the determination in my voice ringing out.

Van's jaw tightened, his fists clenched, the knuckles white. I knew what he was thinking. This was his fight. Even though he was partly avenging me he would never willingly lead me into anything that might lead to my demise. But he didn't have a choice this time. I wanted this. I needed this.

"I want to see it," I carried on. "I want to see the look in his eyes... I want him to know how it feels to lose everything... And I want to ask him how it feels when he does."

My world had stopped spinning now and the fog was clearing, slowly but certainly. As it did it occurred to me that back when all this started Van had told me that he and I weren't so different and despite my protestations at the time he hadn't been wrong. Not at all.

He was watching me with a certain curiosity now, his rage retreating, his focus fully on me. "Just when I thought I had you all figured out you go and do something to surprise me yet again..."

I shifted on the floor under his penetrating glare. It was the simmering kind of hungry gaze a predator might use to look upon his prey, but not to determine when to pounce. He knew he didn't have to do that. I was there for the taking. He just had to decide when to take a bite.

"I saw you tonight... in the club... outside the hotel..." A shadow of a smirk graced his lips. "Tell me Lyla... what is it that you really want?"

He leant back in the chair, head tipped slightly back, watching me with hooded eyes. I felt my heartbeat increase, my mouth go dry. Even after all this time he still had that same effect on me. The ability to make me feel simultaneously weak and powerful. Vulnerable yet desired.

I rose up slightly from my sitting position on to my knees, maintaining his gaze as I gripped the edges of my rain-soaked shirt, peeling it back slowly over my shoulders until it fell on to the floor behind me. I shivered as the air hit my damp skin.

"I want you Van... only you."

He was quiet for a moment as if considering my reply, and as the silence stretched on the tension grew. The air was thick with it, making my pulse race even more.

"You sure about that?"

I nodded, swallowing deeply. The chill on my skin a stark contrast to the fire that smouldered down low in my body.

"You don't have to be gentle," I whispered, a flush staining my cheeks as my words reached him and I saw his expression change, his lips curling into a wolfish smile.

He shook his head slowly. "Oh... I won't be."

A little gasp escaped me unbidden, and his smile widened even further. "Why don't you come over here Lyla?"

I shifted on my knees, went to rise up, but froze on the spot when Van's voice came sharp and commanding.

"No... don't get up. Hands and knees. I want you to crawl..."

The Rise of SMS as an Attack Vector and How SMS Firewalls Protect Against It

The Rise of SMS as an Attack Vector As mobile phones become ubiquitous communication devices, Short Message Service (SMS) has grown to become one of the most widely used messaging platforms globally. However, the open nature of SMS has also made it an attractive attack vector for cybercriminals. SMS is an inherently insecure channel that lacks end-to-end encryption and authentication. Threat actors are exploiting these weaknesses to execute large-scale SMS phishing and smishing campaigns. According to recent reports, SMS attacks increased by 700% in 2020 alone. Millions of users receive fraudulent texts each day, putting personal and financial data at risk. With nearly universal access to SMS, organizations need robust defenses to protect mobile users from this growing threat. How SMS Firewalls Mitigate SMS-based Attacks An SMS firewall sits between an organization's internal systems and the public telephone network to filter and monitor SMS traffic in real-time. It uses a variety of techniques to identify and block malicious or unauthorized SMS messages before they ever reach end users. SMS firewalls inspect the content, context, and patterns of incoming and outgoing text messages to identify signs of suspicious activity. They can analyze messages for malicious links, detect SMS spoofing, uncover bulk messaging patterns, and match messages against known phishing and smishing campaigns. This layered filtering approach protects users from a wide range of SMS-based attacks without disrupting legitimate business communications. When suspicious messages are detected, the SMS firewalls is able to take automatic actions to mitigate threats. Common responses include blocking messages, redirecting URLs to warn pages, scrubbing attachments, and appending risk warnings. Administrators also receive alerts about detected threats so they can take follow-up actions like blacklisting senders or configuring new rules. For high-risk situations, the SMS firewall can even suspend entire inbound or outbound messaging on the fly. This level of real-time monitoring and control gives security teams the tools needed to proactively shut down SMS-borne attacks before any damage occurs. A Holistic Defense Against Emerging SMS Threats Modern SMS firewalls go beyond basic filtering to offer multilayered protections against an ever-evolving threat landscape. As attackers tweak their tactics, the latest solutions can quickly adapt defenses. Machine learning models and behavioral analytics now supplement traditional techniques, allowing SMS firewalls to more accurately detect unknown threats and anomalous activity. Deep packet inspection also examines full SMS payloads and protocols to uncover threats hidden in unusual formats, encodings or signaling messages. Get more insights on SMS Firewall

Wireshark: A Tool for the Tech-Savvy

In cybersecurity, I need advanced tools to maintain network systems secure. One among these instruments is Wireshark. It displays extensive network data by using packet sniffing Wireshark is advanced, nevertheless, which makes learning difficult for first users. The good and poor aspects of Wireshark, together with its customer support, simplicity of use, and other like programs, will be discussed in this review. Wireshark Features Feature Availability Packet Capture Yes Protocol Analysis Yes Real-time Monitoring No Reporting and Alerts Yes SSL Decryption No Network Visualization No Deep Packet Inspection Yes Packet Filtering Yes VoIP Analysis Yes Intrusion Detection No Custom Scripting Yes Wi-Fi Analysis Yes Cloud Integration No SNMP Support Yes API Access Yes Forensic Analysis Yes User Activity Monitoring No Multi-Platform Support Yes Mobile App No Traffic Shaping No VPN Analysis Yes Exporting Capabilities Yes Collaboration Tools No What We Think? Wireshark is great for people who are good with computers. It fixes a lot of different network issues and works well with a lot of other operating systems (OS). It's great for professionals because it can record and look at live network info. It would be best if you didn't start with it, though, because it's complicated and hard to learn. Pros: A lot of different show filters It's free and open source. Data processing in real-time and offline A lot of strong features Works with many OS Cons: Not easily understandable for non-technical users Wireshark’s History When young and enthusiastic engineer Gerald Combs began working on Wireshark in 1998, it was the beginning of a long journey. Wireshark has grown from a simple tool that could only look at four protocols to a full solution. It is the gold standard in network monitoring right now, thanks to the dedicated community of networking experts who keep working to support and improve it. The Ease Of Use And Interface For Users The main Wireshark website looks like a blue shark and is easy to use. The website gives a clear and easy-to-understand overview of the course. Wireshark also has a blog where people can read about new ideas, tips, and tricks. They also talk to people in their neighborhood on Twitter and other social media sites. One of the best things about Wireshark is that it is open-source, which means that anyone can use it for free. There are no costs, limits, or tie-in plans for downloading and using Wireshark. The General Public Licence (GPL) lets programmers and fans add new protocols and features from the program's source code whenever they need to. Characteristics and Goal Of Wireshark The best things about Wireshark can be grouped into three main functions: packet capture, filtering, and network visualization. Wireshark is great at capturing network data in real time. It can track and record whole data streams by collecting thousands of bits at once. This is what makes it possible to find and fix network problems as they happen. Once the data has been collected, Wireshark users can add filters to split the important parts. This skill is especially important when you have to sort through a lot of data to find certain packets or trends. When users get rid of unnecessary data, they can focus on the data that matters. Wireshark's visible features let users see how networks interact in very small details. It makes it easier to understand how networks work by showing the flow of data in a graph. This skill is necessary to find problems and understand how the network works in general. Why Choose Wireshark? Wireshark works with many capture file formats, such as tcpdump, Pcap NG, Catapult DCT2000, Cisco Secure IDS iplog, and Microsoft Network Monitor. Because it is flexible, it will work with a wide range of tools and network configurations. Some of the protocols that Wireshark can interpret are IPsec, ISAKMP, and Kerberos. This skill is needed to decrypt information and keep networks safe. Wireshark lets users add colour rules to the packet list, which makes it easier to tell the difference between different types of data. This visual aid speeds up the research process by making it easy to find patterns and oddities. Wireshark can send analysis results in a number of different formats, such as XML, PostScript, CSV, and plain text. These export options make it easier to report results and share them with clients or coworkers. Wireshark: A Perfect Tool For All Types Of Business Wireshark is a useful program, but it's not for easily scared people. To get the most out of Wireshark, users need to know a lot about network protocols and technical concepts, such as TCP 3-way handshakes, TCP, UDP, and DHCP. Because of this, Wireshark works best for people and businesses that know a lot about technology. Wireshark works great for small and medium-sized businesses, nonprofits, security groups, and schools. The book is also a great way to teach students and workers who want to learn more about network security. Even though Wireshark is very useful, it has some problems. It's not an intrusion detection system (IDS), so it shouldn't be used that way. However, it doesn't have the real-time warning features of specialized IDS systems. Once an alert is sent, it can help stop zero-day attacks. Wireshark tries to be easier to use by using colour coding to show different types of traffic and graphics tools to show statistics. These features can't completely make up for the tool's complexity, though, which still makes it hard for beginners. How Wireshark Helps the Clients? Given that Wireshark is an open-source project, it does not have a dedicated technical help team. Instead, it helps through a strategy that the group drives. On Wireshark's main website, users can find a number of self-help options, such as: On forums, people can ask questions and wait for replies from other users. FAQs is a section that has a list of frequently asked questions and the answers to those questions. On the documentation page, you can find detailed records about many parts of Wireshark. A wiki that is managed by the community and has useful tools and information. For finding and sharing bugs and other issues, the Issue Tracker is a useful tool. That being said, these tools are helpful, but they might not help some customers right away. Also, the video lessons and how-to tips might not be enough to help people who are using it for the first time. Note: Cloud Shark is a browser-based packet sniffer that is less complicated to use than Wireshark. It's not as appealing to people who care about cost and usefulness, though, since it needs a membership and doesn't have as many advanced tools as Wireshark. Last Thought Wireshark went from being a simple network research tool to a full solution. This shows how powerful open-source creation and community cooperation can be. It is necessary for anyone who cares about network performance and security because it can record, filter, and display network data in real time. Wireshark's pros far outweigh its cons when it comes to complexity. Because it is open source, has a lot of features, and works with a lot of different operating systems, it will always be useful in the field of network research, which is always changing. Wireshark is an important tool for network engineers, software developers, and cybersecurity experts. It can show you everything about network data at a very detailed level, making it the best tool for finding and fixing network problems. In the end, Wireshark might not be the easiest tool to learn, but the information and skills it gives you are well worth the effort. For people who are ready to take on the task, Wireshark opens up a world of possibilities and helps them learn more about the networks that connect our digital world. FAQs Which sites does Wireshark endorse? Wireshark runs on Linux, Mac (macOS), and Windows, among other operating systems. Wireshark is open-source? Wireshark really is an open-source packet analyzer. Does Wireshark provide real-time network monitoring? Wireshark mostly works on post-capture packet analysis. Could Wireshark decode SSL traffic? Wireshark does not incorporate built-in SSL decryption features. Does Wireshark offer customer support? Wireshark depends on its community and documentation; official customer service lines are few.
