The Rattlesnake

Ch. 2: School's out...or not

Another uniform came down, and said, "Sir, I was able to trace the hack a bit before the power was shut down. Our systems were hacked from somewhere Southwest of the NorthPark Center, and a bit above Highland Park. Grant said, "He's probably using SMU. Send cops to Southern Methodist University. Tell the school to put it on lockdown." Carson and I left in a hurry before the chief gave us an orders. We starting driving towards the university. I told Carson, the driver, to change course. "Maybe he wants the uniforms at the university, maybe he isn't even at the uni, but at a hotel nearby like...Lumen. I stayed there a night."  "Sure thing, Captain. I'll change our sails to head to the hotel." Within 20 minutes, we arrived at the hotel. I walked up to the front counter. "Excuse, but did you receive any tv or computer glitch?"  "No, why do you ask?"  "We believe our hacker who's also a killer is in this building."  "You can check around if you want."  "Thanks. Oh, Carson before we head around call your boy, James to see how the university's going."  Carson called and all I heard was 'yes', 'no', or 'okay'. "He said they checked the computer room and no students had used the devices yet since they're still being fixed up, so I'm thinking maybe the guy fixing them is hacking them as well. They're checking footage to see where the van is and what company it is." As Carson and I climbed to the 3rd floor, his phone rang, and he showed me the pic they sent. It was a picture of a man (maybe in disguise) walking to a van that was for Quicky's Computer Company. I quickly searched up the name and nothing concrete came up for a place called Quicky's Computer Company. "This has gotta be our guy." Then, his phone rang again with a pic of fluid on the ground in the tech room and a comment that said : Rattlesnake venom. "It's totally our guy." Carson called James back, and let him know to stop the lockdown and go after the van. We quickly said by to the front desk man and ran to the car to search for the van as we received intel on the possible location. We listened to our PD's tech guy as he guided us to the location by looking at traffic footage.
