Chapter 1- Jobs can be deceiving
Julie's POV
It was supposed to be a routine job. Get the information from the super computer and get out. Well somewhere along the way I picked up a tag.
Section One
" Birkoff, how's that hacker problem coming" Operations asked
" He seems to have found my tag. We have a team picking him up as we speak" Birkoff answered
" Supply me with the information that he's gotten out of us" Operations demanded then walked away.
" Yes sir, anything else. Butter your bread?" Birkoff muttered under his breath.
He was under challenged and in high demand. Yet he was bored. He didn't like the way things have become since Nikita died. And now that she's back everything's different.
White Room
Operations walked into the room and found a woman siting in the chair. Not what he had expected for the elusive hacker. Even Birkoff had pinned her, as a him. Lately he had been slacking off. Well maybe this was just the challenge he needed.
" Who are you getting this information for" Operations asked
" I was curious" She answered simply
" Who" Operations tried again
" Myself" She answered again looking bored
" Do you like pain?" He asked and motioned for one of the torturers to dislocate her shoulder.
" I don't feel pain" She said and barely grimaced at the painful shoulder.
" Really, and how is it you don't feel pain" He asked, he'd heard this one before
" It's rather simply. You got to a place in your mind where pain cannot be felt" She answered
This was no the standard response that he usually got. It surprised him. he didn't like surprises. What else was she hiding?
" Enough" He said and he order a medic in to fix her shoulder.
" Wow, I expected so much more from you. but obviously my standards are higher then yours. Whoever protects your information and database is horrible at it." she commented
" Your coming with me" He said and motioned for her to get up and fall me
" Sure" She said and followed him. Even though she was barefooted and wearing only a tank top and linen pants.
Birkoff's Station.
" Sir" Birkoff greeted Operations. He was quite surprised to see a female with him. In fact he didn't usually parade around the women he slept with.
" Show me what you can do" Operations said and motioned for her to take Birkoff's seat.
" sir" Birkoff asked as he got up
" She's the elusive hacker. The team picked her up. Still at her computer. Downloading personal files." Operations said
" What exactly do you want me to do. That you won't a credit to this moron?" She asked him
" Hey" Birkoff answered mad that she had called him a moron when he was one of the smartest people in section.
" Nothing like the truth to hurt" She reply and waited for instructions from Operations.
" Wall street" Operations said at last. His stock needed a boost.
" Any preferences?" She asked typing away at the computer and soon she had the window for all stock registered in the DOW, TSE, and NASDAQ.
" Oceanic" He said and shrugged when Birkoff looked at him.
" Alright. It's about to jump eighty cents a share" She said and closed all the windows and opened the major trading window.
And sure enough Oceanic stock jumped eighty cents. This surprised and delighted Operations.
" It'll crash though. Because it's a computer glitch that I installed. It'll rise, then the whole stock market will crash" She said and got up from the computer.
" So any good hacker can do that. I did that when I was 11" Birkoff said.
" Yes, well computer boy. Nobody asked you" She snapped at him, and when to hit him. But stopped right before his face.
" Whoa" Birkoff said and backed up
" I could have hit you I didn't watch it" She said and smiled evilly. She would like it here. She would fit in right.
" Birkoff, bring her to Madeline to get a profile done. While Madeline's doing that run a check on her" Operations said.
" Julie O'Conner" She said and waited for Operations to walk away.
" Is he always the commanding?" She asked and pointed to Operations retreating back.
Birkoff didn't dignify that with an answer. But he had to smile at her guts. Not may people could have done that.
" Follow me" He said quietly.
" Yes, sir" She joked and followed him. he bare feet patting the floor as she walked.
It didn't seem to brother her that she was under dressed. Then he noticed that she was shivering. He didn't know what to do. Should he offer his sweatshirt. Or would that seem like he's collaborating with her?
" Just walk right in" He said Madeline would see that she's cold and either exploit it or give her something. It would save him the trouble of getting into trouble.
" Thanks" She answered quietly and squared her shoulders, pulled her chin up and walked confidently into the room.
Madeline's office.
" Have a seat" She said and motioned to a chair in front of her desk.
Julie nodded as she took the chair. As a way of thanks.
" I hear you hacker our personal files. Did you have time to read them?" She asked
" Nope, I was more interested if I could do it." Julie answered truthfully
" Your not much for lying are you" Madeline asked her
" Don't see the point. I got nothing to hide" Julie answered
" Yes, well some people have numerous things to hide" Madeline said
" Yes, those people deserve to have there files trifled through." Julie answered
" Do you like authority?" Madeline asked
" Is that a rhetorical question?" Julie asked smirking.
" Would you be willing to take a test?" Madeline asked
" Depends" Julie answered sceptically
" It's simple. I'll ask you a few question. And the machine will grade your responses. Like a lie detector" Madeline explained
" Sure, I got nothing to hide" Julie said
" Alright follow me" Madeline said and lead her out of he room and back to the white room.
3 Hours later.
" So" Operations asked Madeline on her verdict of Julie O'Conner.
" Everything that she's told us, is correct" Madeline said kinda shocked that's what the results said
" So, should we cancel her" Operations asked
" She could prove useful to us" Madeline said hesitantly
" But we have Birkoff" Operations objected
" Birkoff could train her. He's growing tired. He's also becoming more rebellious." Madeline said
" Is she a flight risk?" Operations asked
" No, I think she wants to be here. Where she fits in" Madeline answered
" Well according to this, she has no family. They mysteriously died when she was nine. She was found in there house there dead bodies in the basement" Operations told Madeline.
" Do you think she killed them?" Madeline asked him
" I doubt it. But it is something that should be checked out." Operations said
" Well if she did. Then she's repressing the memory" Madeline said looking kinda evil like she had a new toy to play with.
" Find out, I want to know everything on this girl" Operations said
Madeline nodded and left. Julie hadn't been telling all of the truth and now she would have to pay.
Later that day, in the white room
" Did you kill your parents?" Madeline asked Julie again
" No" She partially screamed.
" Then why don't you tell me about there deaths?" Madeline instructed her
" I was nine. Police came and woke me up. I thought it was mummy, telling me I'd been a good girl. I hadn't woken up. They told me my parents were dead. Took me away and put in foster care till I ran away" She told Madeline.
" Where were the bodies located" Madeline asked
" The police report says in the basement. But my brother's body was by the front door." She told Madeline.
" Why didn't the police report detail this?" Madeline asked
" Because their crooked. One of them was in the pocket of a local Cartel." She explained
" From what I've learned my mother was sleeping around, with one of the high ups in the Cartel. My dad didn't like that. He killed her. He was killed. And my brother was collateral damage" She explained further
" Alright. Follow me" Madeline said and unattached the wires hooked up to Julie's body.
Julie did as she was told. Madeline took her down the long corridor to a holding room with a bed.
" Sleep, I'll come and get you in the morning" Madeline said and was gone
Julie looked round the room at her surrounds. Then she spotted the camera in the corner and shook her finger at it. And threw a chair and hit the camera and it fell down.
Viewing room
"So, do you think she's telling the truth?" Operations asked Madeline again
" It's too soon to tell" Madeline said and motioned to the monitor where you see Julie aiming her chair at the camera and hitting it.
" She has some untapped hostility" Operations commented
" It could be up to good use" Madeline said
" Fine, recruit her. She's got the two year period. Birkoff's going to be her trainer. But I want her assets in weaponry and combat." Operations ordered and walked out of the room.
Leaving Madeline to stare at the fuzzy video screen.
