Chapter 2: The Hacker's Duel
Michael found himself wondering about the strange hacker girl, Lorelei. He had finished packing and had walked downstairs, having already asked permission to use the computers from Mimi, who had laughed at him for asking and told him he could use them anytime as long as he was there. He had found the young hacker wasn't in the office room so he had walked over to a computer, taken out his CD player, and set to working. He was looking everything he could on Blaine, the witch they were hunting, when Lorelei walked in.
"Watcha lookin' for?" she asked.
"Nothing," he muttered, he could hardly hear her over his music.
"I was jist wonderin' 'cause I already done all that," she said, causing him to look up at her, "There ain't that much on 'im. It dun even say nothin' 'bout 'is powers. But it did have some interestin' stuff on 'is parents. They was time benders, they were. But he ain't no time bender so we dunno wha' 'e is. Still it confusin'."
"Maybe I can help," Michael answered, after taking a moment to figure out what she was saying.
" 'ow good a 'acker are ya?" Lorelei asked.
"I guess you could say I'm pretty good," Michael answered confused.
"Then let's see 'ow good ya are. I got a really toughy site for this," she said grinning, "I challenge you to a 'acker's duel. First person infiltrates that site and gets the goal info wins!"
Michael looked at her for a second. He wasn't sure what to say. He hadn't been in a hacker's duel since before he had become a member of the STNJ, back when he had had tons of friends who loved to hack into websites.
"Alright," he said, he thought it sounded kinda fun, "I accept your challenge."

Robin took longer to unpack than her roommates and, consequently, was the very last one to leave the room, heading for the lobby. As she passed the office area she was surprised to see both Michael and Lorelei typing at amazing speeds at two computers. Michael's brow was furrowed in concentration, while Lorelei seemed to be having the time of her life. Both had their headphones in their ears, and Robin could hear their music blasting. Robin shrugged and walked to the elevator, wondering what the heck they could possibly be doing. She punched the button for the lobby and continued to watch them until the door closed, blocking her view.
Michael realized this was a tough challenge the moment it loaded onto his computer screen. It was a NASA computer aboard the International Space Station (or something like that…you get the idea). Lorelei had said it was a site but apparently it was just the way she talked. The goal information was to find out where a specific shuttle, called the Isis, was going, what it was doing, was it a manned or unmanned mission, and how long it would take to get there.
Michael was typing furiously, time was everything in a duel like this. He had found out that the Isis was an unmanned mission, heading into a black hole. He wasn't sure of the point of the mission yet but he had a pretty good idea, and he still hadn't found how long it would take the Isis to reach its destination. Lorelei was working furiously as well. He didn't know how much she had found out, she could even be ahead of him. Suddenly he managed to pull up the purpose of the mission, it was to see what was on the inside of a black hole. He had figured that, that was what most missions like that were. He doubted they were going to find anything but that wasn't important right now, the important thing was to find that last little bit of information. Then there it was. It would take the Isis ten years to reach this particular black hole.
"Done!" He yelled, taking off his headphones. To his surprise Lorelei's voice rose with his. They had finished at the exact same time.
"Wow," she said, "We tied. That pretty good if ya ask meh. I'll rematch ya sometime an' we'll see who wins!"
Michael was surprised, she was as fast as he was, "I'll take you on again sometime and I'll beat you!"
Michael was laughing and so was Lorelei. He had a feeling that if he could figure out what she was saying they would become good friends.
