Demon Accords 10: Rogues by John Conroe Read Free Book Online
Authors: John Conroe
comes out from one side. You’ll look like Deb from Napoleon Dynamite.
She laughed out loud.
You are a wiseass in desperate need of a beat down. I don’t think people up here spend anywhere near as much time with all the media crap. So far, I think I’m good, she answered.
If anyone figures it out, you’ll have a media circus up there. You using the Lisa ID?
Yes. It seemed to hold up when the local fuzz ran it, she sent.
Please. You could use it to get a friggin passport. You want a passport in it?
Interesting how cocky he was getting about his hacking. It reinforced her suspicions.
You shouldn’t take those risks. What about No Such A-holes? They would object to you monkeying with government systems. Could ruin your programming career, she wrote.
Not so risky. They have way bigger problems. Probably changing majors anyway.
That was news. When had he come up with that?
No friggin way? What would you switch to, and why would you give up your calling?
I think maybe a business major. Since this summer, I’ve thought Comp Sci might be archaic. We pretty much broke the box on technology .
Business? With the kind of bank you could make with your tech skills? That makes no sense, she texted .
Not going to build any more of them. One is enough. And that one makes all the others kinda of obsolete. Hard to sit through Computer Organization 121 when I helped create Omega.
Ah ha. Now they were exploring those very suspicions of hers. The only known truly quantum computer, which Declan had named Omega, although he had never fully explained why he choose that name. Chris and Tanya would have let him name the damned thing anything he wanted. But she was certain there was more going on then anyone knew. Too many strange tech-related events had occurred.
There’ll be others created. You could consult, she wrote.
Not like Omega. But nothing decided yet. Back to your trip… was it a WW?
She thought about denying it or deflecting. But she hadn’t lied to him yet and it didn’t seem very honest to try for yet another topic change.
Yes, she wrote back.
He didn’t answer instantly. Ah… thinking it through. Let’s see where you go with that, she thought.
Rogue. Will you have to judge—jury—execute?
More points for assuming she would find the rogue and be able to handle it. Most of her Pack wouldn’t grant her that level of confidence. In fact, only Brock and Afina had done so when they gave her their backing to handle the matter.
Likely, she wrote.
It was his or her choice to commit the crime. Let me know if you need to talk about it. And you WILL let me know if you need ANY backup or computer support, right?
Damn. The kid was on point tonight. Then she amended her thought. He wasn’t a kid. He was only two years younger than she was and he carried enough power to blow a town like Fetter, Maine right off the map.
Well, class is about to start. Wade’s teaching it. He’s really good, he wrote.
Do the kids behave for him?
The wee-otches love him. Get all fluttery at the sight of him. He treats the wolf pack with respect and he’s interesting, he wrote.
Probably doesn’t hurt that he’s friendly with the Warlock either, does it?
I guess, he admitted. So humble. Going for a run tonight?
Maybe. I might recon better that way.
Be good for you too, he answered.
Oh yeah? How do you know?
A third of my class is going for a run tonight. I talk to them about it. Dellwood says things are always better after a run under moonlight.
So do the rest of the kids stay inside when that happens?
Most. I usually go out and wander around, listening to the runners, he said.
That’s dangerous! she typed back.
Nah. I’ve been trained by the best to handle this sort of
