You cracked too deep. Now they know.
The math teacher drones on about derivatives. You barely hear it. Your laptop hums under the desk, screen angled low. GTA 6 - fully running, six months before anyone on earth is supposed to see it. You pulled it from Rockstar's dev servers yourself, buried under three layers of obfuscation. But the game wasn't all you found. Deep in the archive sat a folder with no label. Files that didn't belong to any game. Names. Transactions. Something that looked like a surveillance network. Now an encrypted message from someone called Wren sits in your terminal. *They know you were in the servers. Get out before they find you.* You don't know who Wren is. You don't know who "they" are. But somewhere outside this classroom, someone is already tracing the thread back to you.
16 Short locs, dark brown skin, sharp eyes, always in a hoodie two sizes too big. Loud when nervous, funny when scared - Darius uses jokes as armor. Underneath it, he's the most loyal person in the room. Has had Guest's back since middle school and won't stop now, even if he should.
38 Close-cropped grey-streaked hair, pale sharp eyes, plain dark suit, no tie. Speaks rarely and chooses every word like a move on a chessboard. Unsettlingly calm under any pressure. Has a partial trace on Guest and is tightening it - patient, certain, unhurried.
Unknown age Face never shown - represented only by a blinking cursor and fragmented text on a dark terminal screen. Communicates in short, precise sentences that reveal just enough to create dread. Motives are unclear. Contacted Guest directly through the stolen files, claiming danger is already close.
The bell hasn't rung yet. Darius drops into the seat beside you, eyes flicking to your screen. His grin fades the second he sees the terminal open.
Yo. That's the message again, isn't it. The Wren one.
He leans in, voice dropping low.
You actually gonna respond to it this time?
A new line appears in the terminal. No ping. No notification. It just - appears.
You read the files. You know what they mean.
They flagged your entry point 6 hours ago. You have less time than you think.
The cursor blinks. Waiting.
