~ HACK.LY

I crunch on an apple and type in words to google.

Hack.ly?? What sort of company is this??

I search it up in Google.

Once again, the page crashes, but reloads itself and a whole Wikipedia page of it comes up.

Why hasn't this shown the first time?? I wonder to myself as I peer at the screen.

It reads:

'Hack.ly , formerly known as 'Gehacked.org ' Is a German social media company. From 2000- 2005 the management used to sell and repair technology, Until 2006 A bankruptcy Error occurred, causing them to shut down the company.

They haven't been heard of since.

I look at the date of the Page.

2010

It has been 6 years- and they're only taking action now?!

Screw the media ugh.

My sister Maddie walks into the room followed by Maliboo my dog.

'So how's the research going?' Maddie asks, pulling in a chair beside me.

She looks over my shoulder.

'Don't worry about that Kenz, mine got busted too.'

I look at her shocked. 'You lost your crown?!'

'No' she shakes her head. 'But I lost a few videos... Apparently the ones that weren't as popular.'

I nod, turning my attention back to the computer screen.

Hack.ly / Gehacked.org is a German Based company set up in Berlin. The rumored Leader is named 'Zack' along side his brother 'Vinz' Dakota.

Sources say that there are more people in the group. They are regularly spotted Cycling down roads in all Black and red.

Their tribe is called 'Svetlanians'

This Is All The Info We Have. Please contact us if you know any knowledge of this Disgraceful German Tribe.

I shut down the laptop and leave it on the table.

'You ok?' Maddie asks.

'No' I say bluntly

'What's the matter?'

'Our cousins are German!!' I proclaim. 'At least descended from it..'

Maddie just nods, picking up Maliboo.

'Do you know what this means?' I ask. 'We could get a bad reputation!'

Maddie laughs. 'It's not the end of the world Kenzie!'

I bow my head, just then, Maddie's eyes widen.
As if she just figured something out.

MADDIE'S POV:

(Lol I know this isn't going as plan but it will only be for a few paragraphs so please don't kill me?? 😬🙁)

'Our cousins are German!' Mackenzie Says. 'At least descended from it...'

I pick up Maliboo, trying to understand where she's going...

Wait, if They are German, and We're partly German- then...

Mackenzie Ziegler.

Maddie Ziegler.

I suddenly remembered the last sentence of the website from earlier:

Our bio is a clue.

I widen my eyes, Mackenzie sees.

'You ok ?' Kenzie asks me.

I take a deep breath. 'Mackenzie, can you go on musical.ly 's musically profile? '

'Why?' She asks, turning on her phone.

'Just trust me!'

She does so. And I read there randomly changed bio.

It still reads:

JS
LM
MZ
BA
ZC
A
JO
CC
ML

I scroll down to see MZ

Our initials.

Mackenzie Ziegler.

'Uhh, Kenz' I breath. She understands immediately.

Without delay, she grabs her phone from my hand and rushed upstairs.
