I quickly dialed Lucas' number.
"Hello this is Lucas. Neither I nor caller id recognizes
your number so if you'd like to talk to me please state
your name and reason for calling."
"Lucas, it's Dennis from this past weekend, please pick up."
"Dennis, didn't think I'd actually be hearing from you let alone so soon."
"Yeah well something has come up. You heard about the bomb threat at State over the weekend?'
"Yeah who hasn't at this point?"
"Well I'm under suspicion for reasons I don't want to go into. Regardless I had to give your and Daniels numbers to a detective down here. I would suspect that you'll be getting a call from him shortly. Please just cooperate. Can you pass that to Daniel or should I call him as well?"
"I'll be seeing him in a few minutes so no need. You didn't have anything to do with it it did you?"
"No I didn't. It's a long story and not one I want to get into Lucas. I just thought you deserved a heads up."
"Not to worry,we'll tell it like it was."
"Thanks Lucas. Later."
"Yeah later."
There was a knock at the door and it turned out to be Karl.
"I just had a visit from one of the detectives. He wanted to verify our whereabouts this weekend."
"Yeah he was just here as well and I gave him the receipt from the hotel and the guys phone numbers."
"Think that will end up clearing you?"
"I hope to hell so. What do you want to do about supper?"
"Hell let's just hit the cafeteria. I've had enough bullshit for one day."
"Ok by me. You joining us Pete?"
"Nah I'm meeting Suz in a few."
"Later dude."
Karl and I made our way downstairs to the cafeteria. We picked up our food and found a table. We were getting some strange looks from other people, well I was. It didn't take much imagination to figure out what that was all about. Nobody approached us about it,which was probably a good thing as I sure wasn't in the mood for it.
A short time later Gordon, Aiden amd their roomies joined us at our table.
"Hey guys."
"Hey we heard about how you guys were getting the cold shoulder down here so we thought we'd come by for a little moral aupport."
"I appreciate it guys,but we'll be fine just as soon as this whole bomb thing blows over. That shouldn't be to long I don't think."
"Hope not. We heard about you getting suspened from the team. From all reports, the team is going to need you against Armstrong."
"The team is pretty strong even without me Aiden. If I don't compete,well Dwayne is no slouch either. I still like our chances."
"Either way I just hope they get this taken care of sooner rather than later."
"Can't argue with you there Aiden. Go for a walk Karl?"
"With you anytime love."
We went out and about and I was still getting looks from some people. I ignored them as best I could.
We found a place for our good night kiss and then I headed for my room. I booted up my computer to do some work and nothing happened. The monitor was on and there was power going to the cpu, but nothing was happening. I even tried some DOS commands and there was nothing. It was obvious I had been hacked. If my computer had been hacked my phone might just as well have been as well.
I ran over to Karls and made him disconnect from the school system and turn off his WIFI connection as well. Luckily his system hadn't been affected.
"You think Larry hacked your system?"
"Who else? He's trying to make life difficult for me and he's succeeding. I backed up everything to a portable hard drive just the other day. I guess I have to go and buy a copy of Windows and reload the portable,but there's nothing to keep him from hitting me again."
"You can use the terminals at the library until you can get this cleared up."
"And have him attack the whole damn school system, which he would sure as hell find a way to see I get the blame for that as well. And I'm not sure that the cell I have now isn't compromised as well. Question now is who do I report it to,if there is anyone?"
"I suppose you might want to mention it to the detectives who are looking at the bomb scare. Maybe they have some IT guys who can work their voodoo on your system. It at least should show them that somebody is after you even if it isn't Larry."
"Fat chance of it being somebody else. I mean have I pissed of anybody else that bad love?"
"Not that I know of. You might check the business and see if anybody has lost big time lately."
"I'm doubting like hell that any of our clients would do anything like this and they'd be more likely to attack the business than they would me personally would't they? I mean they have to know that I'm not asserting any influence there now."
Clarence, Karls roomie,had been listening to this whole conversation.
"I'm sure glad my life isn't as complicated as yours are. As far as your computer is concerned the local LEO's probably can't do anything with it. You really should turn it over to the FBI. They've got the equipment and the talent to make something out of it."
"You still got any of thier cards from before Den?"
"Yeah they're all over in the room. you know I hardly ever throw anything like that away. I'll give them a call tomorrow afternoon after class. Just hope my phone is clean. For the meantime I'm going to have to use the school system I guess. That's another stop I'll have to make and tell Dean Evans what's going on just in case Larry does try and crash the school. Maybe the FBI should watch the school systems as well and catch him in the act. I'll suggest that to the Dean as well."
I hadn't bothered to turn off my computer in my rush to get over to Karl. When I got back there was something on the screen.
"Lifes a bitch ain't it Sawyer?"
I sat down and started typing.
"Larry, let's put an end to this before somebody
innocent gets hurt."
"But what fun would that be?"
"You think scaring people is fun?"
"Seeing you get blamed for it is fun."
"Nobody is going to believe it after this."
"Proably not but aggrevating you is also worth it."
"I'm calling you out Larry."
"So you can set me up? I'm not stupid Sawyer."
"No just a loud mouth coward."
"Temper temper Sawyer. In a war of nerves your
own arsenal can also be your worst enemy. You'll
be hearing from me."
With that last sentence I hit the the screen print before it could be wiped. It wasn't likely that anybody would believe I didn't just type it all myself, but at least I had it.
I didn't turn the computer off for fear that I might loose anything the techs might be able to trace. I didn't have a camera on the thing so I wasn't worried about Larry playing voyeur.
Next morning I got through my jogging and classes and then went to see Dean Evans. I told him what had happened with my computer and that I wouldn't put it past Larry to attack the schools system if I went and started using it. I also showed him the screen grab of the conversation I had with Larry.
Soon enough I was back to the dorm and I made a call to the FBI agent who had given me his card. An hour and a half later there were two agents at my door ready to take my system and analyze it. I also showed them the screen grab of my conversation.
"Well this sure as hell violates his bail. I'll see that a federal warrant is issued and that he is picked up if your computer bears any fruit. I'll also see that this information gets shared with the team that is investigating you on the bomb charge."
"Thank you sir."
By this time Karl was over and we headed downstairs for supper.
"This is going to drag on forever isn't it Den?"
"Hell I hope not. I'm just hoping they lock him up and throw away the key until his trial. Solitary would be nice too."
"We still going to be looking over our shoulders?"
"Of course we are. Larry did say we'd be hearing from him."
We got through the rest of the week without any problems and Friday night we decided to go off campus for dinner. We ended up at the steakhouse once again.
We had a good dinner and even went so far as to have dessert this time. When the time came I presented my credit card.
A few minutes later I saw our waiter returning with someone else.
"I'm terribly sorry sir but the credit card company has refused your card on the grounds that it has been reported as stolen. Please stay seated until the police get here."
"I swear to god Karl the feds better find him before I do."
"I sympathize love,in the meantime while we're waiting for the police, here put it on my card."
The waiter took Karls card and came back a few minutes later.
"I'm sorry sir, but this card has been canceled."
"Now he's really gone too far. The lawyers are going to be told to pull out all of the stops and to go after him for everything they can."
Between us we had enough cash to pay the bill, but we still had to wait for the police.
Luckily it was one of the detectives who was on the bomb investigation who showed up. I explained what I thought had happened and we were lucky that he believed me.
The manager apologized to us and hoped that when everything was cleared up that we would come again.
Once I checked the car over and even before I started it up I called the lawyers and told them to go to town. I filled them in on what had happened through out the week as well as this evening.
We were on our way back to campus when there were flashing lights behind us. I knew I hadn't been speeding and was fairly sure I hadn't missed any stop signs or had run any lights.
"Driver! Turn off the engine and put your hands out the window.! Open the door from the outside and step out of the car! Hands on your head and walk backwards towards me!"
I did as I was told and Karl was given similar instructions.
"What's going on officer?"
"You're under arrest for grand theft auto."
