Chapter 25 - The ground work is laid

Carry is gone. Jason's siblings are asleep and he is sitting over his laptop. A silence hangs over him and the code underneath him. The anticipation of the time ticking by and what it would mean. Hacking has already reached the first level and it would mean the start of his attack. The foundation of it at least. 

He opens the TOR browser and goes through the process of hiding his IP. For now he is using the software built in but Jason plans on doing it personally soon. Through VPNs and eventually hiding his IP through ghost networks and forming his own network. 

'System allocate total time.'

Jason's programming knowledge already gave him the information necessary to begin hacking at a minimal level. When he reached level 1 yesterday it was already the beginning. Jason begins building a virtual network through TOR to hide any trace of himself. With his small laptop and private virtual networks, he can bounce his signal around a countless number of times to hide his location. Most importantly the location of his family. 

Jason knows how dangerous this work is so hiding is necessary. He spends a few hours just setting up networks and pathways within pathways to hide any presence of himself. With his current knowledge no ameteur could find him on the internet. When he reaches level 2 almost no one would be able to. 

Jason knows the real work will begin tomorrow.. For now he needs sleep. It is 2 am, he's tired and the work tomorrow will have to be on his old laptop through the internet at the Library, because it's public internet, it's less protected. However that also means he can scatter his presence across the different IPs within the library. An added security for someone in his expertise. 

'System allocate… Nevermind.' Jason thinks for a moment. He would hate to put the time in now and have to do it at 2 am every day. The idea of staying up until 2 am every day and waking up early to go to the library seems terrible. He would much rather sleep and allocate it tomorrow. Then maybe he would have a better time to allocate it for. 

'Sleep is too nice for me to waste it.' Jason thinks to himself. 

Jason smiles for a moment. He knows where he is on his journey and soon he will begin his plan. 

'All I have to do is hack into the school database through their records system, if i need access through their wifi at school I will have to come back earlier than I thought. However Friday will still be before Ashley Cortez is back in school. Enough time for me to find their addresses and make trips to their homes. The only thing after that is planting a device that would give me access to their home internet when the next person accessed it. I can already think of a way to do it now. Thomas would be perfect for it. He had the numbers of everyone.' 

Jason's thoughts ran forward. Tomorrow he will need to make some stops outside of the library. A single laptop isn't going to be all he needs when it comes to tech. 

'But first sleep' Jason lays his head down on his pillow, his lamp light still on and falls asleep with a pleasant smile on his face. 

In the morning he quickly texts Vivian that he would be by later. He had a stop to make first. Jason quickly says goodbye to his family and rushes out the front door. He has his backpack on and barely any money in his pocket but he knows a place perfect for what he needs. 

'Jamie's Tech' A rundown little shop that flips anything and everything. All he needed was a bluetooth device that he could reconfigure to attach a virus to anyone that attaches to it. That was simple enough. Jamie had everything thankfully. 

A small bluetooth speaker would do. After spending about ten dollars and thanking Jamie for her time he spent his time planning. He would download the virus into the speaker and all he needed was Thomas to access it. 

'All I would need to do would pretend I was attached to it and say something like "oh. Please thomas don't use it please." and hope that's convincing.' Jason thinks over the plan more as he makes his way to the library. 

He sits down by Vivian and quickly apologizes about being late. Jason sets down the bluetooth speaker and his laptop and plugs it in. 

"Woah, you have gone full hacker haven't you?" Vivian says in half shock and teasing.

"Just making some tweaks, nothing suspicious here." Jason jokes. He continues to write the code that will be the trojan virus that will take down all the pieces of shit. That are at his school. The code doesn't take long with his extensive knowledge existing in his brain. Pulling from the treasure trove of experiences he strings code along and downloads it. It connects to a software on his laptop allowing him access to their home security. After that He will just have to dig through it for dirt. The numbers and emails he will get should allow him to DDOS their network and take full access.

"I'm almost there," Jason whispers to himself.

"Almost where dude." Vivian chimes in.

"I'll tell you soon. Real soon." Jason says. 

His mysteriousness hangs in the air as he waits for everything to finish. It won't be long now and for now he will just wait. Maybe some games?
