NYC, Dec 25th, 2004, 7.30am.
A wet & slushy winter morning in a dirty grey ambience.
Jack's Room:
A single bed beside the window, a closet which is hot as hell, where 2 huge PC Server Racks reside & roar, 6 monitors on 2 tables, and a Super computer - All built by Jack over the period of 3 yrs, Illegally.
A loud honk from an approaching Truck on the street woke Jack up, he was 18 that day. After 6 long years, he could finally use a computer, Legally!
-----
Atlanta, May 30th, 1998, 8.00am.
A bright & shiny Sunday.
A sudden havoc on the streets, people running around, shouting in joy & sorrow, a few of them fighting, cops and their cars all around, screaming sirens, reporters, cameras, choppers & everything that would normally be present at a place where News is born.
The News: The ATM machines in 3rd, 4th and Sesame streets are spitting MONEY! All the money till the last penny.
-----
1500 Price St., Atlanta, May 30th, 1998, 11.00am.
Jack's Mom: Jack! are you up from the bed? get ready son, we are late for the Mass.
Jack: (Watching the News, smiling at it or rather grinning at it) Yeah mom, I'll be there in a bit
Both of them go out the front door, Mom turning to lock the door, suddenly hear Sirens approaching them. Mom and Jack turn back to see 3 cop cars and 2 black SUV's (FBI ?) stop in front of their house with screeches. The Officers get/jump out and walk/run towards Jack & his Mom swiftly.

NYC, Dec 25th, 2004, 7.30am.
Jack wakes up with a hang-over from last night’s party. Scratches his brown crewcut head and his 3 days old stubbles grown on his pointed chin through his long/strong neck. Grabs and wears his glasses & peeps out through the gaps in between his black window blinds, sees rapid cars pass by, kids playing on the pavement & hears distant siren sounds. Turns back and yawns, hops out of the bed, walks to the kitchen, gulps in a glass of water, lights a cigarette, heats and drinks yesterday’s coffee.

All Students get an ‘A’ in all the subjects. The school was stunned, later found that their system was hacked.
----
NYC, Feb 13/14th, 2003, 12am.
All the computers on campus get affected by the virus “LOVE”. When the PCs were turned on in the morning of Feb 14th, they saw a Text saying “I LOVE YOU”, and the screen went blank. The systems were crashed, all data were gone, grades, emails, reports, home works, everything.
Jack walks out the school with a proud grin on his face, keeps walking through the pavement near the playground, untill he finds a girl, a pretty girl in a pink tank top and a low-raise jean, pierced eye-brow and lips, her blonde hair with black streaks, but a face which will make us want to glance again. She was sitting on the grass, hitting herself on the head & mumbling something and appeared to be awfully upset.
Jack, out of curiosity, and maybe because its a girl, approached her and asked “uhh...Are you ok?”
Girl: Do I know you? Who the hell are you anyway? Do you ask ‘Are you ok’ to everyone you see on the streets?, buzz of B** Head!”
Jack: ow ow ow! girl, I’m sorry alright, my bad…go ahead with ur stupid mumbling!
Starts walking towards the gate muttering "Crazy B**ch !"
After 2 steps
Girl: I’m actually glad, but sad too
Jack (Stops walking & Turns around): I’m not asking anything, but you may continue to say whatever you were saying
Girl: I was supposed to do the I LOVE U thing tonight, but someone else did it before me! I wanted to do it because I scored the worst grades in my class!!
Jack: You a hacker too?
Girl: what do you mean ‘too’?...oh wait…are you…know way…you are not who I am guessing it to be…are you?
Jack: mm yeah, just did it for fun, this school is so F****d up, I hate it, the teachers suck!
Girl: I know, like totally, they are all morons you know!
Jack: So, what is your story, when did you join the club?
Girl: 2000, Traffic chaos…remember? 15 streets, all the lights were green, was arrested twice after that, for NYC Metro mess & NY Dreggs Bank – ATM Spit trick, actually was inspired by the Red Scorpion, he did a few years back. What about you?
Jack: I am the Red Scorpion.
Girl: !!!
Jack: Yeah, been under surveillance and shit, been really bad, had to construct my own machines, always the Public telephones for connections, constant use of signal jammers and stuff, its kinda interesting too actually. Now I use a different Handle though
Girl: and...what'd that be?
Jack: ...
Girl: C'mon...ok, lemme tell ya mine, its "PinkSting"
Jack: No way!! you are Pink Sting ? you were the one who booted me out from that Cable TV server that day? Sh*t !! You are insane I'm telling ya!!
Girl: So you are "Kryptonite" eh? haha funny, well anyways, it was my domain, for that time; you were actually inrtuding, I was supposed to hack and relay my own program that day! but hey, you got your revenge by the LOVE shit today, so we are even k?
Jack: hmm...Whatever.
Girl: Yeah, whatever…listen…uhhhh..
Jack: “Jack”, J.A.C.K
Girl: Like in Jack Ass? hehe, jus messin', hey listen, I gotta go now, may be we should meet up later sometime, what about this evening at the HJ?
Jack: HJ ?
Girl: Hackers Joint…duh!
Jack: Smiles (not grinning) Sure!
Girl: Aite, later then
She swung up on her skateboard (painted “INTRUDER”)
Jack: Hey…I didn’t catch your name
Girl: (who was already gliding on her skateboard, turned back smiling) its Cleo
The smiling face fades away as she hovers out of the school on her skateboard.
Jack (smiling too), starts to walk towards the exit, kicking the stones on pavement...

Jacks Room - Feb 14th, 2003, 9pm.
Jack was lying naked on a bed which was in the middle of a star shaped pool filled with steaming mercury, 100s of candles lit in random patterns; he was breathing a pleasantly intoxicating fragrance. He suddenly felt like someone was licking him at the back of his ear lobe, while running their long-nailed fingers through his hair; he was filled with ecstasy, thrill and a tiny smile when he suddenly felt a cold, sharp metal object piercing/cutting through his skin, like someone is sketching on his back using a knife.
Now he sees the pool filled with blood, sees tons of skulls popping on the surface of the pool and the bed starts to float slowly. After a quick split it swiftly goes up towards the ceiling which has long sharp mammoth tusks pointing towards him, Jack closes his eyes as tight as he can, preparing for it, ‘it’, his body getting pierced by giant sharp tusks; he was moving up and up and suddenly everything stops, no movement, no sound, he could hear his heart pounding like the dogs'.
Jack slowly opens his left eye to see one of the tusk’s tip waiting to pierce through it. He slowly tries to turn his head to side which is when the bed turns upside down in a snap, making him flip out of the bed, falling towards the the pool of bloody skulls, falling and falling, the pool was widening, the blood started to boil, more skulls pop out. He was almost close, as close that he could smell the hot blood, as close as he could kiss one of the skulls...
Jack wakes up with a jerk and looks at the time, it was late for the party at HJ’s.
-----
Dag z’s house aka Hackers Joint – Feb 14th, 2003, 9.45pm
Jack stops his car in front of HJ, a dark, shady narrow street a block away from Tom’s bar. He leans and looks through his window to see the shady figures moving and dancing; breathing fumes generated from pot, cigars and cigarettes; serving and drinking plentiful amounts of cheap beer; loud, pulsating music; possibly a cash bar with generic shots; random hook-ups;
It was an acid party night there. He takes a deep breath trying to control his unusually pounding heart, may be because he is about to meet the Pink Sting? He walks towards the house with his head down as usual and touching the snow covered bushes on side when he suddenly senses that the door is being opened. He looks up to see someone coming out from a smoke, like an angel coming down from heaven…it was…
It was Fritz! Cleo’s boy friend!
Fritz: (Turns back and yells) Yo Cleo, c’mon out
Cleo comes out, actually jumps out through the 2nd floor window on to the patio to reach the steps. Fritz gives a nice vacuum kiss and gets back into the smoke filled house.
Jack, still at the end of the steps, Cleo now near the door, a tiny smile pops out of their respective lips which uncontrollably slips towards the either ends while trying to control, causing the lips + chin + cheeks to twist and turn and redden. They didn’t want it to be obvious nor did they want to appear to be timid.
After a brief heart pounding and overriding the usual chemical reactions that causes the butterfly effect, Jack starts to walk towards the door.
Cleo holds his right arm and drags him into the house. They make several trips to the cash bar, gulp in a few shots, a few cans of beer, share a joint (of weed), finish 3 packs of cigarettes and the night goes on.
-----
Middle of Nowhere - Feb 20th, 2003, 3am.
Jack wakes up, actually tries to. He tries to open his eyes, he was feeling really slouched, tried to remember Cleo’s name to call her, he couldn’t. Felt a sudden bright light filling the room. He was now able to open his eyes half way through.
He was sitting on a chair, in front of an olive green table. He was tied to the chair, he couldn’t feel his hands, they were numb, may be because the ropes were so tightly tied.
He heard the door opening with a shrill noise...

(Day 3) - Feb 19th, 2003, 11.45pm
The toil was completed. Jack asked if he could go. He was dropped off in a dark alley near his apartment.
(The following Monday) - Feb 24th, 2003, 9am
Jack heard a loud door knock. He asked who was it, the voice from the other side replied that they were from the CIA. Jack’s heart froze for a split second.
Jack: Hold On guys…it’ll be a sec
Jack quickly ran to the window and climbed down the fire escape ladder. There were 3 SUVs already waiting for him. He was pulled into one those and they sped from there.
CIA Building, Monday 11.30am
2 of the men from the SUVs escorted Jack into the building. After passing the security clearance and the big CIA symbol on the floor, he was taken to the Administrative officer’s room. Jack was more jolted than he was with Man1
Dag z’s house aka Hackers Joint – Feb 15th, 2003, 1 am
Chen(woozy): Yo Jackie, my brother, I’m telling ya man, that was some cool sh*t. Guess what, I’ve done sh*t too, but ain’t huge, know what I’m sayin ?, the next sh*t I’m gonna do, its gonna be massive man. I’m gonna start a big brawl man.
NYC, Dec 25th, 2004, 7.30am.
Jack wakes up with a hang-over from last night’s party. Scratches his brown crew cut head and his 3 days old stubbles grown on his pointed chin through his long/strong neck. Grabs and wears his glasses & peeps out through the gaps in between his black window blinds, sees rapid cars pass by, kids playing on the pavement & hears distant siren sounds.

Jack: F*ck, this m*ther f*ckin SOB was serious!
On the Phone: This is Agent Jack Scythe, ID 0934333 (he called the CIA to inform about his Suspect)
CIA Building, Feb 24th, 2003, 11.45am
Officer: Welcome Mr. Scythe, have a seat
Jack: What am I doing here?
Officer: What would you like to have? Coffee? black coffee with lots of sugar and perhaps a cigarette?
Jack: !?!?!
Officer(smiling): Mr. Scythe, you have passed the test, the test of veracity
Jack: !?!?!
Officer: Yes Mr. Scythe, it was an appraisal. We have been watching you for quite sometime now. We know that you could break into most of the systems; what we wanted to know was if you would exert against your nation, under any circumstance; in your case, your mother in danger. You proved to be your country’s bigot. We did receive the piece of admonition that you sent us.
Jack: !?!?!
Officer: We had an EMP experiment under process in the Colorado Desserts, what you triggered was that and not the Actual Forte Meade system. We created a dummy name Carliusc Hinle in the FBI database which is what you gained access to. And finally the Sea Queen project, which was under test too and you managed to get through it, we actually need to fix the holes in it.
Jack: !?!?!
Officer: Before the shams book you, let me ask you this, would you be interested in working with the CIA?
Jack: !?!?
Officer: If yes, you will start as an Intern, since you are 17 at present.
Jack: !?!?
Officer: …uuhh…Jack!? Are you with me?
Jack (back to his senses): …err…will I get my own room?
CIA Building, Mar 1st, 2003, 8.45am
Jack parked his dirty blue truck in the parking lot. He gazed at the tall black building for a couple of seconds, took a gulp of air and walked towards it. He was supposed to meet his Supervisor, Ms. Nevah Trett. He went to the person at the reception and asked for her. The receptionist asked him to turn back; so did he…
Jack: C L E O?!?!?
Ms. Nevah aka Cleo (Smiling or rather grinning): Welcome Jack!
