Was she going to do it?
Cami Lark had been agonizing over her decision for most of the night.
She’d been sitting in her student digs at MIT, holed up in the tiny bedroom,
messaging her friend on the dark web as she tried to build up the resolve, the
courage, and the sheer bloody mindedness to do what she longed to do.
That was to sneak back into the FBI archives and try again to pull the
information on her sister Jenna’s missing persons file.
Last time she’d tried, the file had corrupted thanks to malware embedded
in the record archive. Worse still, there had been a tracking program tacked
onto the file which she hadn’t seen in time, and Cami knew that someone
might know who she was. Someone in the FBI might already be aware that
she was trying to open this mysteriously corrupted file to find out exactly
what had happened to her older sister Jenna, who had disappeared when
Cami was just fifteen years old.
The FBI had investigated, but nothing had ever come of it. Cami had
always wondered why. Recently, she’d been co-opted into the FBI to help
with cases that required IT expertise, and she’d thought it was her chance to
find out. But she knew she was on dangerous ground, especially since the
reason she’d been co-opted in the first place was as an alternative to going to
prison after the FBI had caught her hacking their main website homepage.
So, she knew that there was a strong chance this foray could end in
disaster. But still, she had to try.
This time, Cami’s friend had shown her some open source coding that she
thought might help her get around the problem. Cami had tweaked the
coding, and she thought it was a workable solution. All she needed now was
the courage.
“Done it yet?” It was her friend, Amo-1, messaging again.
“Not yet.” Cami drained what must have been her sixth cup of black coffee
that night. She turned to the energy drink on the desk, cracked it open, and
downed that as well. The faintest chirps of birdsong were filtering in through
the still dark windows. The time was four-thirty a.m. Her eyes felt reddened,
her body felt tired, but her mind felt sharp, like a knife.
“What you waiting for?”
“I don’t know.”
Almost of their own volition, Cami watched her fingers move over the
keyboard. She’d painted her fingernails black to match the color of her dyed
hair, with its daring, partly shaven style, and the color of the dark tattoos on
her arms.
“Won’t wait forever. Do it or don’t do it. Whatever it is???”
She hadn’t told Amo-1, her anonymous but trusted friend, exactly what her
covert mission involved. Cami knew that if anyone found out—anyone other
than whoever had inserted the tracking program earlier—she’d be in huge
trouble. It could destroy the uneasy relationship she currently had with the
FBI. After all, the fact that they’d said they would drop the charges against
her if she was willing to help with IT-related cases, didn’t mean they couldn’t
reinstate them again.
