Matchmaker
Chapter Two
3 MONTHS LATER..............
Hank woke up on a brilliant Sunday morning, with the sun shining and the big, blue waves hitting the shore, for he was now on Miami Beach. This was a place he had always wanted to live since his childhood. He enjoyed all the parties and nude beaches and great food. "Oh my God, this food is great!" he exclaimed many times. This certainly was the life. But no matter how luxurious he was living or how great the food was, Hank was still depressed. He should be happy, considering the police and the government was off his tail, looking for someone who no longer existed. Hank Josef was no longer a blip on the grid. He was now James Stewart, a computer engineer from Boston.
This new life though was hard to get used to. He was still lonely and wanted to find somebody. But soon, that loneliness would be over. He would start looking for someone in the online dating field. But first things first, breakfast. Hank, or James, got up from his bed and went down the stairs to his semi-big kitchen. He took out the eggs and toast and made a Denver Omelet. 30 minutes it took for him to make his meal and eat it. He set his plate and silverware in the sink to soak in water and then made his way upstairs.
His new computer was very simple compared to his last one. For one, it was faster, for it had barely any memory saved to it. And it wasn't as flashy. His old computer had a water-cooling system and had blue and green neon lights on the inside, lining the perimeter of the machine. This one just had a simple fan and no lights. Just plain, which was how he wanted everything from now on. Plain was easier and less attentive, and less attention was what Hank wanted in his life. He couldn't afford to be caught. It couldn't happen, and it wouldn't.
He logged on to one of the various search engines and typed in "dating websites". Up then came hundreds of sites for single men like he. He couldn't find one though that fit him really. He wanted to find one that held instant messenger as one of the options. He scrolled on for about 3 more pages until he saw it.
"Matchmakers Deluxe: now with instant messaging for real time interaction"
"Jackpot", he snickered as he entered the site. Then, up came all these pictures of happy couples and smiling people. To the bottom right hand corner, a little bar ran across stating: "Listen to these real life testimonies about how Matchmakers Deluxe works!" Hank clicked on it and up came a little screen with couples talking about how they met online with this website. Hank was impressed. This really looked like the place to be. He clicked out of the little movie and went over to a bar that stated: "Registration". He clicked on it and a form appeared on the screen. It asked for his name, telephone number, email address, and social security. Since he had just changed all this information it took him a little while to remember. After 20 minutes of guessing and correcting himself, he was signed up. He gave himself a simple screen name: JS1523, and he went off to chat in the instant messenger page.
