"Shit," says Jack, frustrated and I let out a groan of irritation.
This was the second time we have tried logging into Charlie's death threatening guy's account and we still can't get in.
Time's running out.
"What do you think we should do next?" he says.
"I don't know, this the only way I know to hack and I have done it like a hundred times and this is the only time it has failed. He has some high tech encrypted codes to protect his account"
"You know someone who could, you know have higher hacking skills than you?" he says, some hope glistening in his eyes.
I think, hard. There must be some way to get to this guy, I need to do this for Charlie or at least for Kezya, this is the least I could do for her.
“There is one way but I haven’t tried it, I am sure it will work but….” I could feel my lips quivering. “But what?” Jack asks with a questioning look on his face.
I hesitate to answer, he notices it and sighs.
“I don’t care what it is Ken; we need to find this sociopath”
I take a deep breath in, “We need to go into the dark web, I am sure you have heard about it. Find a hacking tool and voila, you’re in”
“You sure it will work?”
“Yup but dark web is dangerous, they can find your IP address and come find you”
“Whoa! That sounds…. Terrific?”, “I am with you ok?” Suddenly, his gaze softens and he keeps his hand on mine, his eyes search for something and I can’t figure it out what he is searching for. Something tells me that this shouldn’t be happening; I jerk my hand away which takes him aback.
“I- I am sorry” he confesses too fast.
“It’s fine”
“I am really sorry, I didn’t know what I was doing, and it’s…” “It’s fine. Really” I mean it.
He nods “can we go back to work now?”
“Yea, sure”
“Do you have tape?” I ask him, “Why do you need a tape to hack?”
“I told you, the people in dark web can get accesses to you easily that also includes video calling and spying you, without you knowing”
He rises his eyebrow like he saw something scary, “I think this is very terrifying than the ‘Exorcist’”
“You think Exorcist is ‘terrifying’”? I say making air quotes. He smiles, “I cried for one whole day seeing that movie in a sleep over and also I refused to sleep”
“Such a baby” I say poking his left cheek.
“Well, I was eight years old” he says shaking his head.
“Ok, do you have tape or not?”
He searches his car, “I think, I saw it lying somewhere here”
I gaze into in my laptop, I type in the user ‘HonneyDead3541’, then click hack again, just to make sure it’s really working.
Checking the user....
Found the user....
“I found the tape” Jack says, startling me. “Fine! I am trying again”
He comes closer and takes a look and then nods.
Encrypting the user files....
Logging in....
Please please please, work!
The login has failed unsuccessfully....
I kick the front seat and grunt.
“Calm down, we need to go into that dark web, no other way and I think we’ll be safe”
And I regret those as soon as they came out.
