THAT NIGHT DACE and LuEllen dumped the rest of the loot, and I went into the Whitemark computer using the system programmer’s codes. The word codes got me through the first line of protection. The number codes got me into the programming level. It was there that I found the complete list of passwords for every file in the computer, no matter how confidential.

When LuEllen and Dace returned, LuEllen was laughing. “We’re going to get a crowd if we dump any more stuff in that alley,” she said. Her shoulder had been bandaged, and the doctor gave her a small envelope of pain pills. She took them all and was looking very relaxed.

“I’m in, and I’ve got to stay with this,” I told them, nodding at the terminal. “I’m going to build my own back door into the computer, so I won’t have to use the operator’s codes. I’ll have my own.”

I picked up the second telephone, looked Whitemark up in the phone book, and called. When the operator answered, I asked for the computer room.

“Systems.”

“Hey, I heard a rumor that you’re shutting down early tonight. Is that right?”

“Nope, I don’t think so. Let me check.” The receiver on the other end clattered onto a desk, and lay there for a minute. Then the voice returned. “Nope. Regular time.”

“So how late can I stay on? If I push it?”

“All the way to four o’clock. If you want to stay for another hour, give us a ring and we’ll leave it on. But we have to shut down by five for system maintenance.”

“Thanks.”

“No problem.”
