Techno Genius Part4

Kari laughed and let go of me. I clutched at my throat and faked a dramatic death. Kari laughed. I opened one eye, “Kari, you’re the only person I know who could laugh at a dead girl on your kitchen floor.” “You ain’t dead yet.” She held out a hand and I took it. Kari pulled me up. “Wonderful grammar.” Kari stuck her tongue out at me. “I’d hurt you for that, but I need to use a computer.” Kari shook her head and walked out off the room. I followed. When we finally reached the basement I gasped, then smiled. “You finally took my advice and decided to use technology instead of destroying it.” “I got bored, and since I didn’t have you around to fix it, I decided to use it.” I punched her shoulder lightly, and sat down at a console. “So what do you use it for? No, wait let me guess, staring at pics of that bishi from that anime show you’re obsessed with,” I teased. Kari nodded. I fell out of the chair I was sitting in, “Kari,” I sighed, “Yer hopeless.” She nodded in agreement and left to do something. I sighed again and rolled my eyes. I loved Kari like a sister, but I swear she was born on the idiotic side of the family. I booted up the computer, and hacked into Kari’s admin account. I soon had an administrative account set up and I logged in as H0X2C . A famous screenname that was part of a set. The other was H0X4M3. The girls behind the two names, Hikari and I, were well known for hacking into top-secret government junk that we didn’t care about. The two of us didn’t have a reason for hacking back then, we just did it because it felt good to be able to do something that others couldn’t. I returned my focus to the comp’s screen and begaan the complex job of locating my squad. My life would have been made a bit simplier if my comm-link hadn’t of been destroyed in the crash. Then I remember, “Doh,” I mutteres and hit myself on the forehead, “I didn’t get bored and put tracer’s in the squad’s flightsuits for nothing. This hacking is fun and all, but I have to say: Been there, done that.” A quick trip to some personal files of mine linked me to my VF’s computer. All I had to do was… Access Denied: System not responding Flashed an annoying window. “Damn,” Imutteres and banged my head against the console, “Figures that this had to be some stupid secret mission, and that stupid Blitzkrieg’s computer had to do it’s ‘get screwed up thing’. Bligher.” I accented every other word with a kick to an outdated hard drive in the corner of the basement. “You don’t look happy,” Kari called from the top of the stairs. I whirled around and gave Kari my patented death glare. Kari laughed, “You should know by now that your glares don’t work on me. C’mon up, I’ve got dinner ready. I felt like Cajun, hope ya don’t mind.” I was in the process of trudging up the stairs and muttering, ‘Sometimes I swear computers are out to get me’, when I heard the word Cajun. “Mind?!” I shouted as I raced after her, “You know full well that I love Cajun. Seafood Gumbo?” Kari laughed and nodded. I glomped her, “You rock, Hikari!” TBC…
