Chapter 87 (1/2)

Seattle. 18/10/2012. 19:00.

Lina Campbell was taking the bus home after leaving work. She was a twenty two year old young woman with shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes. With her 5”5”, her way to dress and her withdrawn attitude she was the kind of women who did not gather attention even if she was kind of cute.

Looking through the window she was in her own little world, listening to music. In her Ipod the first album of Nathaniel Lyndon was playing in loop. Since she had hacked it the day before, she had listened to it non stop and the more she was listening to it the more she liked it. It was crazy how she had come across that singer. She was listening to her usual Kpop playlist when Youtube started playing the new song of Nathaniel, the original soundtrack of 'Now you see me'.

She had loved it from the start and had listened to it more than twenty times in a row when she got curious and started looking into the singer. She had subscribed to his Twitter and Youtube account right away, After that she had looked to see what other music he did and was sad to find only one other song with Taylor Swift. She had not listened to it as she was not a fan of hers and did not like her usual songs.

Not satisfied, she had then started to look him up on the internet to find more until she came across a newsletter saying that his album was going to be published the same day as the release of the movie, early december. After listening and watching all of his videos she could not wait any longer and decided to have his album now. Even if Lina was not that good at interacting with people she was insanely good in terms of computer skills.

Scouring the web it was not difficult to get her hands on his professional email address. After that, she put a spybot on it to monitor and to warn her the next time he was going to access it. The moment that he did she just followed his digital footprint on the internet until she had his IP address. Once she had that it was a piece of cake to hack into his computer and get what she wanted.

Even if she knew that what she had done was bad, she had made sure to not dwell in his personal life or his work related files. She had even reinforced his firewall before leaving his computer to make sure that nobody else could hack the way that she had anymore. Even if that was still not okay, she could reassure herself that beside her his future album was known to no-one else as she would not share it with anyone.

Seeing that it was her stop she descend from the bus and started walking in the direction of her apartment. Looking at the shady neighborhood she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She was missing their old home with their beautiful garden. Everything more simple back then. She was in IMT her future boundless, until her mom started to get sick. Slamming the memories down, she quickly dried the few tears on the corner of her eyes and realized she was in front of her apartment.

Getting her keys, she opened the door and entered her home. Her father was home, still in uniform and busy cleaning the living room.

”Hi dad.” Lina said, taking her shoes off.

”Hi kiddo, how was work?” He answered with his powerful voice that always succeeded in easing her worries since she was a little girl.

”Good enough. How is mom?” She asked anxiously.

”Not that great today. She took her pills and is sleeping for now.” He said with a sad smile.

”Alright, I'm going to my room.” She said reassured.
