I woke up to the sound of the alarm clock on my bed. "Shut up" I said groggy as I tossed it across the room, breaking it in the process.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up" the alarm on my phone sounded.

"I ain't gonna wake up" I said turning the other way.

"WAKE UP!" The alarm shouted.

"Alright, alright I'm waking up" I said turning off the alarm and getting ready to break down Trent's door.

"Now where did I put the grenade...?" I asked myself rummaging through my drawer.

I quietly walked up his door and held the grenade in my hand. I broke down the door while pulling the pin.

"Grenade!" I shouted before throwing it into the room and seeing Aron turning Trent away from the grenade and braced for the explosion.

"Aron it's ok Kit has a drawer full of fake grenades" Trent said clearly seeing through my little prank.

"So what are you guys doing?" I said catching them in an undoubtedly embarrassing situation.

"Cuddling," Trent said calmly as Aron ruffled his fur.

"Wait, are you two boyfriends now?" I asked, there was almost no way that the ship has actually sailed.

"Yep, the ship has sailed" Aron said as he got up with Trent in his arms and holding onto him tightly.

"Put me down!" Trent shouted as he buried his head into Aron's chest.

"Nope, besides you look cute like this" he replied.

"Um, Aron"

"Yeah?"

"He's deathly afraid of heights" I told him.

"Oh sorry" Aron said as he carefully put Trent down.

"It's ok" Trent said as he got his jacket back on and held Aron's hand and kissed him.

"Trent, you have some explaining to do with dad" I said.

"Why?" Trent asked.

"Cause he will most likely not be a fan of Aron" I told them since dad only shipped them for fun.

"Crap" Trent said as he realised the trouble he could be in.

"You guys are on your own now" I tell them and walked downstairs to get some cereal.

"Mornin dad" I said as he came back from his night shift at work on Saturdays.

"Morning Kit" he said groggy. Quickly realising that I've got a look on my face that means bad news.

"Oh god, what is it?" He asked.

"Trent and Aron are dating" I said.

"Oh, I thought it was worse" he said breathing a sigh of relief.

"Wait, your not mad at them" I asked curious as to why he isn't more red than my painting of a tomato.

"No, Aron seems nice and things will go downhill if I am angry at him" he replied.

"Oh" I said as I finished my cereal and took out my phone to see what tsociety is up to now.

Trent and Aron later came down looking nervous as they were about to tell dad about the news.

"Kit told me you two are dating and I'm okay with it" he said while sipping his fourth cup of coffee.

"Oh..." Trent said.

I left to my room and turned on my laptop and plugged in my Tails OS usb to boot it. I activated my VPN and fired up TOR to check the dark web. Sure enough Furon was no longer selling any encryption keys and people were talking about what happened and the malware was found and everyone could see the message that was left for the ransom. The little 'visual flair' that Trent had added was pretty funny to me and many companies were having troubles accessing their files since we were able to infect that group of servers with the virus spreading the malware to the rest of their servers across the world. After checking them I shut down and unplugged my Tails OS usb and booted my laptop which I set to Kali Linux by default. I pinged their servers to check if they were available with it saying that the servers were offline now. Smiling to myself, I launched my Proton mail and waited for it to send me the encryption key at around 8 a.m. while setting the message self destruct timing to one minute.

'The encryption key is: 03ce3efbdc9bac0f911d3a389c978ba9e212e6a51ab96f6e554a32c9c67acc3eb44b6928ddf2ee1cdbeadc13097aa0013a5008164a8e44aa292052aeed7568a6' it said showing a key that was encrypted and I was going to decrypt it.

I opened the terminal to try and crack the hash.

'crunch 8 8 qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm -t @@@@@@@@ -o password.txt' I typed, creating all the possible passwords and hoping that the 2 terabytes of storage was enough for the password. When it was done I checked the storage there was barley 5 gigabytes left. Breathing a sigh of relief I started to crack the hash that I typed out into a .txt file.

'hashcat -m 1800 -a 0 -o cracked.txt --remove hash.txt password.txt cat cracked.txt' I typed hitting enter when I was done and waiting for it to show the password which I calculated could take half an hour since I had entered the command since my laptop had a really good Graphics card being a gaming laptop which would make it be able to crack the hash faster and let us get the password faster.

After about forty minutes it was done cracking the hash I was able to get the password and send it to the rest of tsociety via Protonmail. I went downstairs and saw Trent sitting beside Aron watching Big Bang Theory.

"What took you so long? You've been in your room for an hour" Trent asked.

"You try cracking a hash with over one hundred million different possibilities" I said as I took my laptop and went to a nearby coffee shop and taking a seat near a Anthony who also had a laptop.

"Hey there" he said.

"Hi, let's just resume our debate" I said as we both argued about which phone was better for us, Android or iPhone.

"You do realise that iPhones have better speeds on WiFi than Android" I told him, trying out a social engineering attack.

"Uh, *bullshit*" he said coughing.

"iPhones may have better due to optimized hardware and software in safari but chrome's html5 support in even my galaxy Nexus allows it to be more efficient and have better speeds and is faster with JavaScript" he said as he pulled out his white google Nexus which was outdated.

"Really? Let's put that to the test then" I said writing down a website URL on a peice of paper and giving it to him which was a benchmarking website with a stagefright exploit.

"Okay, let's go" he said and typed In the URL.

"You connected to WiFi?" I asked.

"Yeah, the speed is shit" he said and tapped on the test button.

"Great, it's a hit or miss" I said.

"I'm gonna double check your phone specs" I said as I opened my terminal and started to use the exploit in the website to hack him.

"Score is 1200" he said.

"Mine is 900, iPhones suck" I said as I showed him my slower internet speed and put my phone down while finishing gaining root access to his phone.

"Ah the old android benchmark trick" Jane said suddenly coming up from behind me.

"Wait, what?" Asked Anthony as he checked my computer screen.

"She used a stagefright exploit that old android phones like yours are vulnerable to, and allowing her root access or complete control over your phone, I like you" Jane said as she took a seat in front of me.

"Kit stop" Anthony said beginning to panic.

"Too late, I already installed a rootkit on your phone" I said smiling.

"Damn it!" Anthony shouted as he dropped his phone on the table.

"Android may have a faster speed, but is more prone to exploits like this one and often do not have many software updates unlike Iphones" I said obviously winning the arguement.

"Well, we have got a small person to take out in this coffee shop" said Jake who was holding a file labeled, S.D.

"You wanna have a go Anthony?" I asked trying to cheer him up.

"Fine" he said packing his stuff and grabbing his bag and the file.

He walked toward the back of the shop with the listening bug in his pocket activated.

"Hello there, I want to have a talk with you" he said as he sat down in front of a grey wolf who we knew as Sam Drew.

"Sure what is it?" Sam asked.

"I like coming to this coffee shop, it has many seats and multiple WiFi networks so if one is not working of slow you just reconnect to another one" Anthony said.

"Thank you?" The wolf said as he was a bit confused at the compliment.

"It's pretty good, almost too good and a part of me doesn't let good exist without a price so I decided to hack you" Anthony said as Sam began to fidget uncomfortably.

"I beg your pardon?" He asked.

"You see, why would a coffee shop need over 6 different WiFi networks? It seems a bit excessive, and why are they almost always so slow?" Anthony asked clearly a rethorical question.

"It's because there are servers connected to each of your WiFi networks, I intercepted to traffic and found a website that you tried to hide using TOR networking" he said.

"When I looked at the website I found this" he said dropping the file onto the table.

"Which is over 500 thousand different illegal items found on the dark web" he said.

"Sir I will have to ask you to leave now or I will have to call the-" Sam said, trembling.

"Police? And let them see the illegal activity on the dark web?" Anthony said smugly.

"Are you blackmailing me?" The wolf asked.

"You can't just go and tell the police sir, you also broke the law too" he said firmly.

"True, but we predicted that and there was always the chance you would take down your servers if I called the authorities now. So I decided to do it AFK and sent an anonymous tip with the current time and location" Anthony said, grabbing his bag and leaving.

"Wait I will give you the money" he said nervously.

"That's one thing you don't know about us, we don't give a shit about money" Anthony said as we walked out with the authorities storming the coffee shop.

"Well that was fun" Anthony said.

"Yeah, but not as fun as installing spyware on your phone" I said.

"Damn it Kit!" Anthony shouted as we all went home.
