CHAPTER 8

LOGAN LEANED BACK on the sofa in the side patio and stared up at the skylight. The moon and stars danced in the dark sky. Thin white puffy clouds drifted casually across the window.

Markus sat across the room in a wicker chair with matching ottoman, where he had set up his laptop. “STEALTH isn’t taking any credit for the hack on DANA Corp.” Markus’s earphones now covered only one ear.

How he managed to hold a conversation with music barreling into one side of his head, Logan had no idea. “That doesn’t mean anything.”

“Actually, it does.” Markus ripped off his headphones, tossing them on the table next to him. “You’re IT person has quite an extensive file on that group and they’ve never let anyone else take credit for anything they’ve done.”

“But we’re giving them credit.” Logan kicked off his shoes and put his feet up, clasping his hands behind his head.

“And they are denying the hack. If it were them, they’d be shouting it across cyber space. Not only that, I’ve read pages and pages of the original cyber-attack on DANA Corp and it doesn’t add up.”

“What do you mean, exactly?” Logan pinched the bridge of his nose. He’d always enjoyed Markus’s company, just not when he got his computer geek on.

“I’ve been following the flow of the stolen information, along with how the hackers replaced the data. It’s not very sophisticated and what bothers me more is that the cyber trail ends in Canada. Who the fuck routes top-secret defense plans to fucking Canada?”

“Don’t they route it all different places, so you can’t trace it?”

“Sure, but one of the things Mia and I do is embed code that can be traced when we do work for any government agency. It’s why they use us. Mia’s trail ends in Canada. Then there is the ‘no chatter’ problem. Usually, people talk before and after. The attack on DANA was quieter than a mouse.”

Logan rubbed his unshaven face. “No intel on buy/sell of the data?”

“Nothing,” Markus said.

“So, if it’s not STEALTH, which would be a good thing, then who?”

Both men said, “Raisin.”

“But why?” Logan asked.

“Well, I suspect to ruin Mia,” Markus said, his leg bouncing up and down, rattling the floor. “Every time he came at us, it was more Mia than me. In college, he managed to hack into the school system, changing some of Mia’s work and plagiarizing someone else. Took us a couple of weeks to straighten things out, but it nearly cost Mia an award.”

“How do you not know who this Raisin guy is?”

“Most hackers are anonymous because most of them aren’t ethical. They are usually a recluse with little or no friends. An invisible person even when visible. Or, might have a different persona on line.”

“Do you have a different persona?”

“Both Mia and I will use different names depending the situation.” Markus tapped on his computer. “We’re often looking for hackers wanting to do damage, so sometimes we end up in the underground world, poking around.”

“But
