Hacker's Delight By: Joel Noonan

PROLOUGE:

The year is 2100, and hacking has taken over the earth. People choose to hack and enter themselves into worlds unknown. Worlds we call, The Zone. Within The Zone, people live a new life. Different from the life that consumes them every day. The money there is megabytes of memory. The more megabytes you have the more data you can store. Selling data for memory is how to make a living. Data dealing, some would call it.

"Alright, we have a deal coming up" Jayzon said to Cbot as they logged into The Zone. Once inside, they met up with Jozo, another friend of theirs. They were called The Revolutionaries.

"Cbot, get in the back of the car. Jozo, log into the laptop, I'll drive" Jayzon said as he got into their car.

Jayzon drove them to a place down by the docks. They were selling 200 megabytes of data for 100k memory. Jayzon planned on having a clean deal, but just in case he brought his .44.

As they arrived, Jayzon recognized the man that would be buying. They left the car running, as Jayzon jogged over to the man.

"Alright, let's do this quick man. I got to go soon" Jayzon said sticking out the data.

"Here, take the memory" The man handed him the memory he promised. Jayzon felt something was wrong, and gripped his weapon in his pocket.

The man yanked out a .22 and tried to shoot Jayzon, but he easily fired off a whole round faster into the man's head.

"Stupid shit-for-brains" Jayzon said, walking back with the data and memory. He got into the car, and this time had the laptop.

"Alright, it looks like some Data empire is making deals with our sellers/buyers. We can't let this happen. We need to take them out. They are on East Avenue in the big red building" Jayzon said to Jozo, who now had the wheel.

Once they arrived there, they got their guns out and kicked down the door.

"Fuckin' maggots! You fuckin' scum fuckin' bags! Fuck you!" Jayzon shouted, unloading his weapon. Somehow, one of the gang members let off a pipe bomb that ripped through The Revolutionaries car, destroying all there memory and data.

"SHIT! OUR FUCKIN' EMPIRE!" Jayzon shouted as Zone Cops came and arrested the three remaining people in the room. The Revolutionaries were off to jail, as their empire crumbled to dust.

"I'M NOT LETTING YOU RUN THE ZONE, YOU FUCKIN' HEAR ME? YOU WILL ALL FUCKIN' PAY!" Jayzon shouted, as he was shoved into the back of the car.
