Mind Games

Chapter Four

I burned my half. At this point I wasn't thinking (which by the way never happens to me). I threw the lighter at Odum and I saw his half catch fire. The idiot wouldn't let it go though, he held onto it until his left sleeve was ablaze as well . He started screeching and flailing about. By the time most of his left arm had caught fire he decided to stop, drop, and roll. I guess he had that fireman visit in the first grade. Feeling accomplished I calmed down a bit. Then I realized what I had done. I just tried to barbecue the director of the NSA. Not cool. I ran. I don't know how far, and I don't know for how long, but I ran.
Being extremely unathletic by the time I stopped I was completely out of breath. What to do, what to do. Maybe I can go back to the office and apologize. No that's idiotic. You almost burned a man alive. Maybe that's like pre-karma or something. He was going to incinerate a bunch of people then he almost gets incinerated. Okay what's the plan? You have the entire code memorized, nobody knows the location of the village. At least not yet. Alright if I get home I can use Perseus (my personal supercomputer) to make a code to get into the NSA database and then I'll my way from there.
Once I got home I got I ran upstairs to my room and pulled Perseus onto my little desk in the corner of the room. Perseus was a laptop with the body of an Alienware 17 which my parents got me for my 14th birthday. However the insides were drenched up from a plethora of different computer systems including the Alienware 17, Origin EVO15-s, and a PS4 plus some other stuff but that's not relevant.What is relevant is that this little box is ridiculously powerful and has a direct connection to the NSA mainframe. They may or may not know that it does but right now that's probably a good thing. I've also spent hundreds of hours writing code that makes Perseus virtually [haha] unhackable.
I call it Perseus because in the myth Perseus defeated Medusa with items given to him by the gods just like how my Perseus works with a bunch of different components. The greek hero was given a sword and the Helm of Darkness from Zeus, Hermes' winged sandals, and a polished shield from Athena.
I fired it up and started writing incredibly complex and intricate code. Once I had finished I put transfered the code to my computer back at the office. I could see that someone was trying to get into my files. I uploaded the code. It wirelessly shut of the computer. And deleted all the files. But here's the best thing the bulk of the code was to protect my computer. My [now deleted] files had more firewalls than the devil's bedroom. They'll think all the protection means there's something there. It'll take them forever to get past the firewalls and when they find nothing there, they'll absolutely lose it. This was the perfect idea, but what now? I'm pretty sure I'm a fugitive now.
Thankfully however, unlike the INFAMOUS franchise the real worlds version of the NSA doesn't have field agents [who turn into big fire people trying to bring around the Earth's destruction]. As I recall the NSA turns to other agencies for assistance when they need field agents. Like the CIA for example. Wait CIA as in personification of the NSA plus the FBI. Intelligence and activity. This could be an issue.
