James was slumped on his couch, his head lolling back. Spending the last several hours thinking about dirty limericks had made his brain hurt, and reading about them online meant he now had scores of the damned things stuck in his head forever.

“Fucking Professor,” he growled. “I’ll get you back for this.”

An alarm on his phone beeped, and he sat up. It was almost time to make the call to the hacker candidate. If he could hire someone useful, it’d at least stop one humiliation. That was the annoying thing about computers and the internet. They represented a problem he couldn’t solve through the gratuitous application of lead and grenades.

James loaded the message from the hacker and hit the link. The link brought up a blank website with a numeric address.

“You’re prompt, Mr. Brownstone,” came a deep and heavily electronically distorted voice through the phone. “I can appreciate working for a man who is prompt.”

“I don’t like to waste people’s time, and I hope they don’t waste mine.”

“I’m not here to waste your time. I’m here to talk to you about the job.”

James nodded to himself. “Here’s the deal. I need to confirm that you’re legit, capable, and very hard to find.”

The hacker laughed. “You came to me. Doesn’t that mean you already know I’m legit and capable? The fact you could even message me proves I’m already hard to find because I know you had to go to someone special to get my contact information.”

“All I know is that you can send me a fucking link. You could be some douchebag kid in his mom’s basement.”

Another laugh. “Maybe. Does it matter?”

“No, I guess not, but it does matter if you can do what I need you to do. If you do, there might be more work for you in the future.”

“And what do you need, Mr. Brownstone?”

“There was video of me taken in a bar called the Black Sun in Los Angeles this morning. The place is owned by an asshole named Tyler. I need you to find it and get rid of it. I don’t know where the security feed from the bar goes, and some people might have videos on their phones.”

“Scrubbing the net is hard, Mr. Brownstone.”

“You saying you can’t do it?”

“Just saying it’s hard.”

“I’ll pay twenty-five thousand for the job.”

The hacker chuckled, the electronic distortion making it sound sinister. “I’m willing to do it, but how will you know I got it all?”

“Guess I’ll have to get an even better hacker to check on that for me.”

“As if.” The hacker snorted. “I’ll update you when it’s done.”
