Aria
“TODAY, YOU ARE GOING DOWN.” I shove my glasses up the bridge
of my nose for the umpteenth time with a little smile, blinking at the screen
in front of me. Although it’s cramped in this small, makeshift home office
which consists of a tiny desk I rescued curbside nestled in a corner of the
room to give me the best access to my computer screens, here’s where I do
my magic. While I don’t really mind teaching coding at the little
community college outside of Coney Island, I don’t like the red tape and
long hours. I long to get back to my little haven, where my fingers fly over
the keys and I truly come alive.
Today, in the most boring white conference room under harsh, fluorescent
lights, tepid coffee in hand, I longed to get home to unwrap what I
discovered last night: the motherlode of all encrypted goldmines. Way too
complex for me to delve into before school, but now, when the night is
young and the moon rises, I get to play.
Professor by Day, Hacking Goddess by Night.
At least that’s what I like to think.
I glance at the time and stretch. I can out-code anyone in the world, bar
none. One day, I’ll no longer be known as Aria Cunningham, the nobody,
barely scraping by at the local community college. I’ll actually make a
difference in this world.
I blink and stare at the screen.
Wait.
My heart beats faster. Is that…
No.
My mouth dry, I click the little icon indicating my download is complete. I
scroll down, my hand covering my mouth as I’m seized with two
conflicting emotions.
Elation — I did it! I successfully hacked into the most notorious database of
criminal activity I’ve ever seen in my life.
And gripping, terrifying fear.
No one has ever done this before. And unearthing something this massive
comes at a cost.
I stare, my mouth agape.
Names. Dates. Locations. Pictures.
Evidence.
Politicians and celebrities, CEOs and religious leaders, military icons and
monarchs. I stare in both horror and glee as I realize…it worked.
I scroll past pages and pages of information that should be encrypted but
reads clear as day now. Oh my God. This is worse than I thought. If this got
out to the press…if anyone knew what these people have done. No.
And worse? If the owners of this information ever realize I’ve hacked into
their database…
“Good thing you covered your tracks,” I whisper to myself.
A blinding yellow light flashes. I stare for a second too long.
I leap to my feet. I smack the button on the surveillance camera that
overlooks all entryways to my apartment. My blood runs cold at the sight of
six armed men at the back door. I might be in an old, mostly unoccupied
house that was nearly condemned, but there are still three access points, not
including windows, and I don’t take risks.
Shit.
Oh God.
My heart beats so fast I feel nauseous, bile rising in my throat as I quickly
assess my options even as my mind whirs. How?? How did they discover
where I am so quickly?
