Chapter 12

The Computer Room, Stony Man Farm, Virginia

“BEAR!” TOKAIDO SHOUTED. “You need to look at this!”

Aaron Kurtzman tapped a key and his screen filled with files. He heaved a huge sigh of relief. Bolan had found a way to communicate outside the library. Kurtzman chose a file with the provocative title Look Familiar?.doc. It opened simultaneously on Tokaido’s screen and the young hacker made the appropriate response. “Holy shit!”

Kurtzman nodded. Holy shit was right. It was different, less advanced to the computer expert’s eye, but it looked distinctly like the code Bolan had captured from the Lancaster farm before it had gone up in flames. He opened a file called Suggestions.doc. It was a short, bulleted list of someone’s progress on breaking the code, and possible word matches. Kurtzman shook his head. “This is above Mack’s pay grade when it comes to computers. Who sent this?”

“Tracking...” Tokaido rapidly clicked keys. “It came through a private server, but a service area that includes Duivelstad’s county. Definitely came from within D-Town.” His forefinger hovered. “If do this we’re breaking U.S. privacy law and violating a state employee’s—”

“Do it.”

“No, I think Mack got this Rudolpho guy he told Carmen about to take a big chance.” Kurtzman began opening more files. The disk Bolan had retrieved from the Lancaster probe was damaged. This new information might just be enough to plug the gaps. That and the suggestions Rudolpho had sent along would— The computer expert stopped on a file and smiled. “Akira! Prisoner records! Look up everything D-Town has on file for one Whitmore, Lincoln Cornelius, aka ‘Link,’ and then I want his entire life story from cradle to conviction.”

“Bear, it’s fight night in fifteen minutes,” Tokaido warned.

Kurtzman sighed. “I know.”
