I roared in anger. Not only

had this little piece of shit posted naked photos of me, but he had completely interrupted my jack off date with the new Picto-famous girl. What the fuck? Who the fuck did this Anonimo think he was?

Climbing back upstairs to my office, I felt enraged, pumped up for a hacker fight. It had been a long time since unleashing my coding genius, but Anonimo was about to get a taste of his own medicine.

Sitting down at my desk, I looked at the time – nearly six in the morning. Penny had to be awake. I dialed her number.

My faithful secretary answered the phone with a groggy voice. “Theo?”

“Yo, did I wake you?” I grimaced.

But fortunately, she was used to shit like this.

Penny yawned. “No, no, no. It’s fine. I was just getting up. What’s up?”

Pacing around my office, I came to a quick stop.

“I won’t be coming into the office today.”

Penny’s voice sounded worried.

“You won’t? Is everything okay?”

“Yeah,” I said. “Everything’s fine. I just have a personal project going on.” I turned on my Mac, readying myself for a showdown.

And ever ready to be Miss Super-Secretary, Penny replied, “Is there anything I can help you with? Do you need an extra hand? I can be over in a flash.”

I know she has designs to move up in the company, but the task before me was too important, so I was brusque in my reply.

“Naw, no thanks. I’m good. Just cancel all my appointments today. Thanks again.”

And with that, I ended the call. More people needed to be notified, and next on the list was Brandon, my CTO. Brandon answered with caution in his voice.

“Theo.”

“Brandon,” I replied calmly.

“I take it you’ve seen the Pictogram feed?” Brandon asked with a touch of fear in his voice.

I laughed. “Correct.”

“We’re taking care of the breach right now,” Brandon apologized quickly. “We’re on it.”

“How long until it’s done?” I asked.

Brandon swallowed. “We’ve been working on it for the last two hours. I’ve called in all the tech leads. Whoever did this is a genius,” he grumbled. “Makes my job hard, but a bona fide fucking genius, Theo.”

One brow rose. “Oh really? A genius,” I said sarcastically.

But Brandon didn’t hear the tone and sighed like a fawning fan. “You should see what’s been done. It’s a work of beauty, Theo.”

Yeah, whatever. I was about to tear this fucker to pieces and then throw him to the sharks.

Because fuck you, shitface. How dare you hack into Pictogram? This shit’s my baby, and you don’t fuck with that.

“Just get the site running normally,” I commanded. “Find the breach and fix it.”

“Will do,” said Brandon. “On it, boss.”
