My fast fingers typed a command into the keyboard. The monitor turned green. Hopefully a good sign. Random letters and symbols whizzed up the screen, like the closing credits in a movie. I tapped my foot impatiently, waiting for all the information to load. The dark room momentarily lit up. Headlights. I glanced out the window at the driveway and saw red light on the concrete from the brake lights. Shit. I connected my jump drive, which was disguised as an iphone. I tapped some commands into it and then the info started saving. I heard the front door close.
Two buttons appeared on my phone, one blue, one purple. I hit the purple one and the computer screen went blank. I yanked my iphone and the connection cord out of the computer. I silently ran over to the window and unlocked it, just as I was opening the window, the office door opened. A man with long, jet black hair and a gorgeous pale face. I gave him a wicked smile and jumped out the window, landing in a crouch with one hand on the ground to keep myself steadied. Then I got up and sprinted all the way back up to my apartment.
So, you would probably like to know what the hell I was just doing. Well, I work for this man named SHADOW… or at least that's what he wants us to call him. When I say 'us' I mean all the other agents and hackers like me that work for him. All the work he has done is illegal, but the government doesn't even know about us yet. They're kinda stupid, I mean, SHADOW has had us gathering top secret information, a lot of it was from the government, and some of it was from other powerful people like SHADOW for five years now. I was chosen by SHADOW himself to join shadow, after they found out I was the goddess of hacking into computers and just about anything else, which was when I was only a sophomore in high school, 16 years old. If everything in my life then was normal, I would never have gone with him, but he got me when it seemed like my whole world was crumbling around me. I had just caught boyfriend (Since the summer of eight grade) cheating on me with my best friend (Since. KIndergarden.). I got mad and ignored her and then she got mad at me and spread some pretty bad rumors about me that made everyone hate me, including all of my other friends. And then my parents both died in a car accident and I was living by myself in my empty house, waiting for someone to come and drag me away to an orphanage or something.
I walked into my apartment, and quickly scanned it for anything out of place. Once I was sure it was safe, I changed out of my black skin-tight black jeggings, my equally as thight leather jacket, and black cami and into a loose fitting aqua-blue tanktop and black pajama shorts. I glanced at the clock. 11:00. But I really wasn't tired I hardly needed any sleep and usually went to bed around 12:00 or 12:30. I danced into the kitchen and turned my radio on, TGIF came blasting out of the speakers.
Cccoooookiiieee ttiiimmeeee!
I opened my freezer, which held only icecubes, frozen pizza and LOTS of frozen cookie dough… yum!
I took out the tub of M&M cookie dough, and heard a single knock on my door.
I froze and silently counted to 3, and there were four more knocks.
This was kind of a password, so that I knew it was SHADOW or someone who worked for him. I ran to the door and opened it.
This time it was SHADOW.
"Good evening, agent Swan." He said. I invited him into my apartment and he said, "I believe you have some information for me?"
"Of course." I grabbed the iphone off the table and handed it to him. He slipped it into his pocket and then smiled at me. "I can always depend on you, agent Swan." I nodded and said "Of course, sir."
He beamed for a second, and then his face turned dead serious. Uh-oh. "I need to warn you about someone." I raised my eyebrows.
"Remember when you hacked into Marcus's system and took the money?"
Oohhh, shit. I wasn't supposed to hack into anything besides what SHADOW needed me to hack into.
"Uh, I can explain… I-" but then he interrupted me, and thank god he did because I had no good reason to hack into Marcus's account, other than just to have a little fun and get some money.
"I don't need an explanation, just please never do something like that again, you know my rules."
"Sorry, sir, I won't do it again. I promise."
If I was anyone else, he would have them shot, but I was his A-hacker. The best of the best. And it was so hard for him to find good hackers that aren't already working for the government, so he couldn't afford to loose me. He gave me his evil- eye, just to show that what I did was unacceptable, because he knew that It didn't scare me- not one bit.
"Well, he found out that it was you who stole his money, I need to warn you to be careful. Marcus may not be very powerful, but I'm sure he could find some pretty good hit men if he wants to."
"Ok, thanks for the warning." But I didn't really take it too seriously… I never take that kind of stuff as seriously as I should.
"And I'm going to give you the week off." I looked up at him in surprise, and he laughed at my expression. "You work way to hard for me, go have some fun." He said.
I thanked him, then he said bye and he left.
A whole week off… I haven't had that kind of free time since freshman year of high school.
And I had no idea what the hell to do with it… besides making cookies of course.
Sorry, the first chapter is kinda boring. But I PROMISE it will get more exciting!
