The hallway seemed to go on for at least three more classrooms, before he finally got to the computer lab. It had been years since he had worked on a computer, his years in the prison did not allow him to use computers since his crime was computer fraud and hacking. But now he was finally out and although he was not supposed to be anywhere near any serious technology, he thought he might be able to get into the lab here in this old seldom used school.
He cautiously entered the lab and sure enough there was only one other person in the room a fellow with a long ZZ top beard was all the way over on the other side of the lab.
Sitting at one of the computers he quickly logged into the network and then was able to navigate to the website that had sat there for the 10 years he was away. Typing in the code he was able to access the program to emulate the 12784 COMPAQ system he was used to using.
Five minutes later he had access to the files he needed.
Delete . . . . Delete . . . . Delete . . . . . Delete, Those files were all that was left of his attempts to get into the government network, and he should now be able to escape the punishment that he had worried about for years.
As he pushed the final “delete”, The ZZ Top guy stood up and smiled, “Thanks, we were waiting for that.”
