"Did you find it?"
"Not yet. I didn't know where to look."
"Did you do an online search?"
"Yes, I'm searching, but I can't find anything."
"It can't be, let me see."
"It's not really necessary. I can..."
"Don't worry, I can help you, just step aside and let me look."
"Ok..."
"Let's see the internet history so we can rule out those you already looked."
"I can do it if..."
"Wait... What is this? What are these websites?"

IP adresses, encrypted data, crypto currency. Government files, an Anonymous membership, hacking for dummies?!
Bank accounts? A hit list? News reports and captions of the crimes committed.

"What the hell, Mann?!"

"I know," Kenny sat next to him, "you told me that aunt Mandy got sent to juvy for hacking into the government base, and stealing private files from NASA. From what she told me, she wanted you to name one of the planets that was discovered on your birthday and post it online as part of a prank." 

"Never do that again!"

That is why they were searching on the internet. To find any news about her. Mandy had been reported missing. It was bad enough that she went through identity theft. They've been trying to find out her current location. With the stunt that she pulled with one of her hacking schemes, she gained a lot of enemies.

"I won't. Dad, can I order a pizza."
"No pizza for you, you're grounded."
