So bored!
Even the infinite scroll of the dark web couldn't keep Liam's attention. He flit from one site to the next looking for something to entertain him. He stopped on a viral video uploaded by a girl he knew in school, she was a few years younger than him, but that didn't matter, she was in one of his classes -- Sterling something. She had a Russian last name but she looked more like she fit in with his family than her own. Cute red head and freckles mixed among the dark haired Russian siblings. That and he knew she was adopted. He knew everyone's secrets at school. There was a kid who lived down the street from school who sold illicit drugs -- he was one step away from being busted by the school. Liam hadn't decided what to do about it yet. Tell the kid or tell the school. He didn't want to be either of those people so he did nothing. Just kept the information to himself.
The video wasn't well made, but the edits worked well and was probably why it had gone viral. Liam was pretty sure the dude in the video was her cousin though, so she made his show a big thing.
And it went viral too with a video all of it's own -- except it was outside the club. And then there was that edit. The edit is what caught Liam's attention. The ones and zeros scrolling across the screen pulled him in deeper and he replayed the video until he had captured all the digits. Not that he needed it to know for certain -- that was the work of the Wicked Truth. He'd found his rabbit hole to dive into. The hacker was active now. The edit hadn't happened too long ago. Liam dove head first into the puzzle. Where was he? What was he going to do.
