"I've hired Badboy before and he's always protected his identity. That's how dedsec works. But now he wants to meet. That's unusual. I'll try to shake him off his game. Let's see what he's up to." Aiden says.

"Are you sure we can trust him" wolf asked.

He looked behind them and saw a tatooed girl, probably in her 20s.

"What other choice do we have? Badboy17?" He asked.

"Clara" she said.

"Clara." I repeated. -- "You don't look 17."

"Do I look like a bad boy?"

"You look like a wild card." Wolf says.

"I hope I don't frighten you." she said as she started to walk around them.

"What, do you have a reason to frighten me?" Aiden asked.

"She sure is scaring me" shark quivers as he hides behind Aiden, to which he and snake rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Now you're being paranoid."

"Well he is" snake points to shark

"Am I? Someone is fucking with my life, threatening my family and at the same time the myserious Badboy wants to meet. And he is a she. He is a lie!" Aiden said on a violent tone.

"Listen. I need to trust you, Clara."

"I wouldn't trust me if I were you. But here's a reason to listen. The text message you sent me? I know where to find him."

"Yeah, well we don't need to meet face to face for that." Aiden said.

"No.. We needed a face to face for this - You wanted dedsec system hacks?" she said, showing her phone to me.

"You got me in."

"You should be nicer to me. I'm about to open your world." she said, holding her phone.

"How is?" Wolf asked.

"Yeah, well, you're not the first woman to promise me that."

She lookes at his phone so Aiden gave it to her. She started transfering the data --

"They do all their nasty work through this. And they don't know I have access." she said.

"You stole it." She completed the data transfer.

"This is powerful. Just don't be stupid. You screw around and you get people hurt. Or worse." she said, holding his phone.

"Hm, well, I don't think you trust me." He said as he lifted his hand towards the phone to take it.

"Give me a reason to trust you." said Clara.

"Alright." He said as she gave him his phone back.

"The guy who sent the text.

"How do we find him?" Wolf asked.

"We work together. You with everything I just sent. Me tracking his signal." she said, starting to walk towards the exit.

"You're not quite what I expected." Wolf said.

She turned back and said: "And you're exactly as I expected, Aiden."

later that day, Clara called him.

"Hey. Am I talking to badboy or Clara?" He asked.

"Let's make it easy. Voila." she said, as she turned the voice-disorter program off and he could hear her real voice.

She continued: "So we need to track your caller. But he's sneaky. He has bounced adresses through a ctOS office tower. Client servicds, employees and executives.

"We need to find a way into the system. You get me in, I get you his location."

"Okay, I'll attack from the tunnel,where they take deliveries. Hey, sorry I was rough before." He said.

"I know what you are doing. Trying to intimidate me. Very textbook. Stepping into my personal space. The stare. Physical contact. You were trying to look for cracks. So did you find any?" she asked.

"Wouldn't you love to know."

A bit later, after he and wolf sneaked into the ctOS office, he called Clara again:

"I'm in the building"

"Can you see what's ahead?" Wolf asked.

"There are more guards. Oh those hacks I uploaded to your phone -- It's a perfect distraction. You can distrupt thr equipment of any guard in there." she said.

"Equipment like what?" Wolf asked.

"Anything. Hack their phones, earpieces, ecplosives. Everything runs off computer chips these days."

"Okay, I'll try it. Find me someone with an unsecured laptop."

"Got one. Bradley Caughlin. Oh, no.." she started laughing, "He's a security director."

"Of course it is. Once webs hack in,hack all the other devices and get out. It won't take long until the security spots the intrusion."

The hacks Clara gave to him were very useful. He managed to get to the offices and hacked that guys's laptop.

"Okay, I got you in." Webs called Clara.

"I'm searching now. Shit. The police are coming. You need to get out of there." she said.

"Great now what?" Wolf asked.

He got out of that building sneaking past the armed cops and called Clara again:

"How are you looking? You find my caller? I'm tired of this cat and mouse."

"I got your mouse. The call was made from an apartament in The Loop."

"Finally." Aiden said.

"Just be careful, Aiden. The way he bounced this signal around - I think he want you to find him."

"Well I certainly don't want to disappoint him."
Wolf said sarcastically.
