HAWK REACHED PRESIDENT YOUNG’S chief of staff through connections with Blunt and put in a request for a meeting. Due to the upcoming G8 summit, Young didn’t have time to indulge Hawk with a half-hour conversation, but a five-minute phone call resolved all of Hawk’s pressing needs. A few minutes after their talk concluded, an email popped up in Hawk’s inbox, forwarded from the president. It was a short note about a tee time Young had scheduled with a senator from an opposing party a couple months prior.

This ought to do the trick. And it’s bipartisan, at that.

Later that afternoon, Alex went to work on finding out all of Undertaker757’s haunts on the dark web. After two hours of thorough research, she identified what sites he spent most of his time on and devised a way to connect with him. Her next task was to create a profile of someone who had been on the site for a long time. Any suspicious looking correspondence from a newbie to the discussion forum was going to scare him away. If he muted her, it would all be over with. She constructed a plausible profile and volleyed her first question his way.

“Don’t you hate politicians these days?” she wrote. The message appeared next to a profile of a busty woman that she found on a royalty-free site. She hated women who flaunted themselves in that manner, but it was almost always guaranteed to attract the attention of most warm-blooded males. Seconds later, a reply popped up, nested neatly beneath her initial inquiry.

“Washington needs to be cleaned out,” he wrote. “If only we could vote for other congressional candidates in other states. Ugh.”

That statement was followed by a gif of one of the three stooges walking in circles while hitting himself over the head with a frying pan.

Alex smiled and announced to Hawk that she’d made contact.

“Really?” Hawk asked, hustling over to her computer.

“Yeah, and the best part is I didn’t even have to use my golden bullet to get him to respond.”

Hawk laughed as he looked at the screen. “That’s because your avatar makes you look like Pamela Anderson.”

“That’s not her, is it?” Alex asked, concerned lines spreading across her forehead.

“Oh, you poor thing,” Hawk said. “You’ve never watched an episode of Baywatch, have you?”

“I heard it was terrible. Just a bunch of women clad in bikinis bouncing up and down the beach.”

“Just a point of clarification—the women wore one-piece bathing suits, not bikinis.”

“But everything else?”

Hawk nodded. “Mostly right. Slow motion pictures of women frolicking on the beach.”

“So, I used a picture of Pamela Anderson as my avatar?”

“No, that’s not her, but it looks strikingly similar since your girl also has more plastic stuffed in her than a California recycling plant.”

Alex snickered. “How long have you been waiting to use that line?”

Hawk shrugged. “I just came up with it. Sounded appropriate given our topic of conversation.”

“Wait a minute,” Alex said. “It looks like he’s writing something else.”

The blinking cursor was replaced with a thought bubble.
