Chapter 10

I fought back the nausea burning up my throat. How was I supposed to figure out what happened to Mady without it? How did someone even get in here? The lock. The damn lock. The lock on my door had been broken forever. Dad always said it was fine, nobody would be climbing up the side of the house to break into my room. Nobody had before. I charged to the bathroom and puked in the sink. How could I have let this happen? Why didn’t I hide it somewhere more secure?

My first thought was to call Metrix. He obviously knew more about this than the rest of us. Maybe if I got a hold of him, he would know what to do. I went back to my room and grabbed my phone which was still sitting on my bed. The doors to my patio were open and I walked over and slammed them in a fit of fury.

I sent Metrix a text.

‘The laptop’s gone.’ Fear and uncertainty twisted my gut. I had no idea who I was texting, but now I was reaching out to this person for help. It could be a girl for all I knew. Maybe this Metrix was really Mady trying to get a rise out of me. All I knew was I had to put my faith and trust in them and hope they knew what to do. They were my only link to Mady right now.

The response came quick. I guess I should have expected it since Mady did say that he was a hacker. I assumed hackers were glued to their phones and laptops.

‘What do you mean?’

‘Gone. It was hidden. Someone broke into my room and took it.’

‘Not good. Really not good. Need to see you and explain in more detail. Tomorrow?’

That was the last thing I expected. How much was really hidden on that laptop I hadn’t come across yet.

‘Noon?’

‘Where R U?’ If Metrix was as involved as it seemed, wouldn’t he know where I lived? I sent my address.

‘Flankstone? Never heard of it. Found city park on maps. Meet U there, noon’

They’d never heard of Flankstone? Didn’t Mady say he’d hacked her before she met him? If so any hacker could easily track the IP address and find out where she lived. At least that’s what I expected from crime shows on T.V.

‘C U there’

And there it was. Now I wasn’t only talking to a stranger and sending them selfies I was setting up meetings with them. Of course, Jason and Kent would come with me, but how far would I have to go to get to the bottom of this?

I went to bed then, I was tired after a long day in the sun. I drifted off to sleep quickly.

My dreams were different. For the last little while I dreamed about Mady; past experiences like the times we went to the beach late at night, or the nights I needed to see her so bad I snuck out and drove to her house.
