"Grin?" The man over the intercom said.
"Yeah, but he spelt it 6r1N. Weird Data Jacker shit. This guy hacked and exposed Mitroviç robotics and ended the Android Rights Movement."
"Shit...a Data Jacker who single handedly took down an entire mega corp? In one week? And a powerhouse like Mitroviç? Damn..."
"Creepy bastard too. Wears a weird...clown mask with a big smile on it,teeths all fucked up,interlaced with cracked neon lights that flicker occasionally. Deep distorted voice like a fuckin demon."
I listened intently,shuffling closer to the intercom.
"Mitroviç was doing some fucked up shit behind the scenes,dealing in human trafficking,stealing kids from their mom's and stuff like that. Crazy stuff. But it was Mitroviç,Oliver himself was in every single one of the videos, personally taking suitcases of tiles and handing off suitcases of tiles. The DJ 6r1N? He's become a goddamn legend among the underground now in just a week. No one knows who he is or where he's holed up."
No one knew who it was...but I had a feeling I knew who. Couldn't show his real face so he hid behind a mask because he was shy...
It had to be Ryder. I saw his skills first hand myself as a Data Jacker. He wasn't a pushover.
"Word is, he's working for anyone who pays top tile to get any kind of dirty work done. He's mainly a hacker, but if you need someone taken care of, Grin's pretty good at taking people out too."
"So he's a fixer? Might give em a call, been suspecting my wife of cheating on me for awhile, and I'd love to know if my suspicions are true."
"They also say he used to run with The Syndicate, but he's a freelance now, works for whoever pays top dollar. Has a lot of contacts. These are mostly just whispers I hear when I'm havin a drink though."
"So in other words this guy might not even exist. Great."
"He exists man! Shit's broken out all over Youtube! More than four million views and its still climbing! Fuckin thing happened less than three weeks ago and Some people are actually rooting for this guy! He's gained some fans. Those hacker fanboys who follow groups and shit? They're all over the comment section."
No doubt about it. It was him...it was Ryder.
A surge of hope shot through my body.
He's coming for me...soon I'll be out of this hellhole...
Soon...
Soon...
