Summary of the last chapter: Well, Sarah and Jenny were peacefully walking down an alleyway, almost got mugged, beat off their muggers, then almost became mistaken for a pair of witches and had to run from Sakaki and Karasuma. What's this? Jenny has hacking skills? You would never have known…
Summary of this chapter: Why do I do this? You could just read this and get by… (sighs) Michael makes an appearance! And The Chief! And Robin! They find out that they've been hacked into! Then, Sarah tricks Jenny into hacking into the STN-J… AGAIN!
Warnings: Okay. If you are against illegally obtaining information from an organization, then you should just leave this fic now. Because, with out the whole hacking thing, this fic ain't gettin' nowhere. So, yeah. I warned you. Oh, and if you can't stand dancing reptiles, just jump ahead to the next chapter. You should be able to (somewhat) follow the storyline.

CHAPTER THREE: DANCING TURTLES, CONVERSATIONS, AND MORE HACKING
(o)(O)(o)
Sitting at his computer, Michael contemplated his life at the STN-J. Okay, just make that his life. He didn't do anything BUT the STN-J! Sighing, he pulled up his files on all the current witches. Blinking, he tried to convince himself that he was seeing things. There couldn't be a small turtle dancing on his computer screen! Clicking on the 'cha-cha'-ing turtle, the animation stopped and what looked like a speech bubble appeared above the reptile's head.
"'HI!'" Michael read, "'Thanks for all your help! Bye!' What is that? 'Thanks for the help?' What?" Looking at his files, the nerd stood out of his chair rapidly when he saw that all the names had been messed with! Now they all read, 'Wah Wha Wah. Call the Wah-mbulance!' Pulling up all the other files that he had for the STN-J, Michael found that the file for all the current witches was the only one that had been tampered with. But, who had wanted to hack into that SPECIFIC file? And why did they want it? And why did they make it known that they had the information? Shaking his head, the computer geek sat back down in his chair and commenced trying to get all the information back.
(o)(O)(o)
"So, now that we have the info, what do we want to do with it?" Jenny asked as she flipped through the thick stack of pages. After having to reload the printer two times, the files had been completely printed, but now they had to go through the long list of names! Looking up from her game of Spider Solitaire, Sarah asked, "What? You mean that you don't know where to start?"
Hitting her forehead with her palm, the blonde muttered, "No. You were the one who suggested it, so I thought that you knew…"
"Nope! Not a clue! Ha! I win!" Sarah exclaimed as she won another game. Now the score was… 57 to 3…
"Good job Sarah. You've won three out of 60! What's that? Less than 5 percent?"
"Shut up! You stole files! I don't have to listen to you! You're a bad person!" the brunette pouted, crossing her arms and glaring at her standing friend. Sighing, Jenny dropped the stack of papers on the desk and pulled up one of the plastic chairs.
"Well," she stated, "It looks like we're gonna be here for a while…"
(o)(O)(o)
"So Michael, the files were like this when you found them?"
"Yes Chief." the guy told the balding man. Looking through the chaos, the chief mumbled, "Wonder why they wanted the information…?" Standing, he turned to Michael and asked, "And you can't find a link or ANYTHING to where they might be located?"
"None. The only evidence they left behind was the dancing turtle…" Here, Michael motioned to the icon that was now doing the disco, "And the change in text…"
"What's wrong Michael?" Robin asked as she walked towards Michael and her supervisor, Styrofoam coffee cup in hand.
"Oh, hey Robin." Michael said. "Someone hacked into my computer and I don't know who…"
"Did they leave behind any information?"
"Other than the boogying turtle? No."
(o)(O)(o)
"What do you mean, you want me to get on again!" Jenny yelled. Jeez! Did Sarah not KNOW ANYTHING!
"What? Can't you?" the girl asked from her cowering position under the desk.
"Yes, but it's a matter of us getting caught! They should know by now that someone hacked into their system, so they'll be extra cautious and be watching the system! So, it'd be STUPID to go and try and get some more information!"
"But we need it! It's not like we can just get onto google and type in our question… Well, we could, but we probably wouldn't get an answer…"
"Let's just look though all the papers, okay?" Jenny sighed, even though she sounded like she wasn't all to thrilled at the idea. Sensing her reluctance, Sarah pounced with,
"But, if they know that you know that they'll be extra cautious, then won't they be slack in security because they won't expect you to try for any more information?"
"Possibly…" Jenny admitted. Not pausing for a second, Sarah countered,
"So, if you know that they know that you know, shouldn't you try for the information, ya know?"
"What?"
"No. 'Yes'."
"Huh?"
"I agree."
"I don't follow you…"
"Because I'm not leading you."
"Leading me to what?" by now, the blonde was thoroughly confused.
"You're the hacker. You find out!"
"Find out what!" Jenny yelled.
"The information!"
"On what?"
"If there's any sort of witch out there in "Japan" that could have done this!"
"Oh, that?"
"Yeah. You can't find it, can you?"
"Yes I can!"
"I don't believe you." Sarah said while not quite believing that it was working out so well. She hadn't expected it to be THIS easy to fool Jenny…
"I'LL PROVE IT!" the girl exclaimed, overriding the computer system again and hacking into the STN-J's files. Looking over her shoulder, Sarah made sure that the camera was still pointed out the window, watching the chess tournament outside. Man, those old farts were gonna get toasty if they didn't find the sun block soon!
"Got it." Jenny stated, cracking her knuckles. Looking at the monitor, Sarah saw that there were three witches that could have done this… and two were in the factory at the moment. So that left…
"Aha! We got you now, you witch!"
