Chapter 3: The switch



' Why I am doing this?' I though as I sat on a park bench and waited for the thug. 'Because you need the money since your parents don't really get you anything.' I started to answer my own questions, for it gave some reassurance of what I was doing.

'How did this all start? Your parents gave you a computer for Christmas, then the next thing you know it, your hacking into other peoples computers at the age of 9 and by the age of 14 you start dealing with gangs who want either codes or files'. I started to laugh at myself at the fact I was answering my own questions, "Jesus I'm crazy!" I whispered to myself, ' yes you are crazy dealing with people that are either murders, or pathetic thieves.'

'Sometimes I wonder who I am? Well that's an easy one, by day your Alex green by night your interface the best hacker America has heard of.' A simile crossed my lips as I remember several headline about me, one in particular that would go down in history:

HACKER SHUTS DOWN WALLSTREET!

'Yes I am the best hacker America has seen, I guess that's why I never quit this second life.' I reached into my pockets and took out 2 black gloves; I slipped them on and reached into my sweater pocket, for the black disk. It was only a matter of time now, before the switch would be made.

I brought the disk out and looked at it briefly, ' what does my friends think of this second life?' Again I answered my own question ' Jason thinks it's awesome yet freaky cause he knows what you can do to him. Kat doesn't really approve but understands why I'm doing this. Alicia thinks it's cool as long as I don't get caught, and Chelsey well she hated the fact that I'm a hacker ever since I mentioned it to her, but like Kat she has supported me.

" You Interface?" A deep voice broke into my thoughts, I was surprised at first then realized I was dealing with the new guy.

" Yeah I'm him," I said flatly not daring to look up at him, " and you must be the new guy?"

" Yup" was his Answer

" Well you better sit down and tell me your name so we can go over some rules" I quickly said and look at him from the corner of my eye.

" The name is Dwain." He answered as he sat down on the bench.

I quickly study him, he was a bit chubby, dark skin and bald wearing a black jacket and pants.

" So what type of rules are we talking about?"

Once again he broke into my thoughts, I started to smile as the question hit me I quickly took my eyes off him and started to answer his question, " My type of rules .that are not to be broken, and to be followed." I stopped for a moment and then began again, " If my rules are broken you will not receive any codes or files from me again, clear?"

"Clear"

" Good, now if you do break the rules there will be consequences, and it usually ends up with me having to track you down and then making your life a living hell, so don't mess with me, understood?"

" Yes " Dwain said flatly

" You get caught by the police by my codes and files, it isn't my problem, you mention my name to the cops, they wont find me, not here, not on the net, no where, they can't track me down, they can't fool me, they can't do anything, in other words I'm invincible to them." As soon as I finished, I could tell he was smiling and liking what he was hearing.

" Your that good?" he said some what surprised

" Yes, I'm that good" I smiled briefly in till he asked

" Can I see your face?" Dwain asked.

" No," I said sternly, "that's another rule you don't see my face, I prefer to stay some what invincible or secretive."

I could tell Dwain was staring at me as he replied a simple "ok"

" Another thing, anyone mentions my name, or ask where you were, you tell them nothing, you lie, you don't know me I don't know you, we are never here at any switches, clear?" once again I said this sternly, a little bit to sternly cause I could tell Dwain was getting uncomfortable. then that would make 2 of us.

"Clear" was his simple answer.





* * * * *

After going through all of the rules we both sat in silence for a time,

" Switch" I silently said after taking a quick glance around the park. Dwain slipped the 500 dollars into my hand and at the same time, taking the disk. " Good, you're a faster learner" I smiled, as the switch was complete. I sat there for a moment then rising to my feet I slipped the money in my pocket, grabbed my bag and whispered, " You don't know me, I don't know you." I walked away as soon as I finished the sentence, as soon as I was out of the park and across the street; my heart was finally slowing down.
