ONE YEAR
AGO
A dark SUV is parked near a militia
bunker at the edge of a dusty third world town.
Inside the SUV are two middle aged
American men, Richard Karn and Walter Winchester. They eagle eye the bunker. Richard, slick and sleazy, oozes smarmy bureaucrat and
schoolyard bully. Walter, second
fiddle to Richard, resents his position and if there were ever an opportunity
to stick it to Richard he would, but for now he masks his resentment by acting
like a cheery team player.
Richard holds a high tech,
state-of-the-art remote control, a gadget that looks like it was taken straight
out of a futuristic sci-fi thriller.
“Shall we?” Richard asks with a devilish
grin.
“Let her rip.”
Richard points the remote at the
bunker. He hits some buttons.
Inside the bunker…
In the weapons’ holding cell a scud
missile starts to activate on its own. The militia men in the room are horrified to see the weapon activating -
and are helpless to stop it.
Inside the SUV…
Richard and Walter watch the bunker blow
up. They smile victoriously.
“This remote represents endless
opportunities for us, Walt. Just
think of all the terrorists and anti-Americans we can blow up and the locations
we can illegally access.” Richard
boasts as he holds up the remote.
“Don’t forget the money we can
make.” Walter points out.
Days later, back in America…
Richard and Walter drink champagne with
other agents celebrating their victory of blowing up the bunker. They’re in the command center of the
Federal Strategic Security Unit (FSSU,) a covert agency that fights terrorism
with advanced technology.
Felix Russo joins the celebration. Felix is beguiling and brooding with a
mysterious and seductive allure. He’s Grimm fairy tale handsome with raven
black hair, Guinness brown eyes and perpetual ‘tickle me’ stubble. He could cast an unbreakable spell over
a woman's heart with just a sideways glance.
“Bravo. What a victory. You sold them a missile, cashed the check
and then blew them all up.” Felix
deadpans.
“All thanks to you, Felix. “Your remote works like a charm,”
Richard responds.
Felix holds up a disc. “I finished the Hacker Heaven
program. It has ten levels.”
Everyone looks duly impressed with this information.
Richard and Walter follow Felix to a
computer. Felix inserts the disc
and masterfully commands the computer. The computer screen shows that Hacker Heaven is a computer game where
the player has to figure out how to hack through state-of-the-art security
systems.
“So far no one has made it through level
eight. If anyone can advance to
and through level ten, you will have found the Holy Grail of hackers,” Felix
tells Richard and Walter.
“I want to take a stab at level ten,”
Richard smugly states.
“I knew you would,” Felix grins.
Felix moves away from the computer giving
the seat to Richard. Richard types
away, confident he'll beat the program. Richard makes a move that sets off alarms, the skull and bones image
appears on every monitor in the room.
“What the hell just happened?!” Richard
hollers.
“A virus. I'll have to go to the main
frame to fix it,” Felix tells Richard.
“Well, go! Go fix it, damn it!” Richard shouts at Felix.
Felix leaves the command center. He calmly walks through the building as
alarms sound all around. The
facility's entire computer and security systems are shutting down. Agents and guards hurry about in a
frenzy.
Felix proceeds to a heavily secured area
that is no longer secure thanks to the virus. He waltzes right into a vaulted secret chamber that houses
the remote control. Felix grabs the remote and leaves.
In the command center Richard frantically
types away at the computer trying desperately to shut the thing down. “Where
the hell is Felix?!” He hollers.
At that very moment Felix appears on
every computer screen and on every cell phone in
