Jack woke up the next morning to the sound of his phone ringing. He picked up the phone “hello” it was his boss tom “Jack your leave is canceled and you have to come in today’ he was wide awake now and asked “what happened ?” Tom said four major govt databases were hacked last night and their all files were compromised he asked “which databases ?”

National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) The FBI Identification Record Interstate Identification Index System, or “III” System The National Incident-Based Reporting System

Why those four are public records.”That's the strange thing. The hacker just hid his location and proceeded to download all the info.

He asked “all of it” yes all of it. “Ok, I am coming in ?”

Jack had a pit in his stomach, he barreled through the door in the room across the hall and asked what was happening.

The a.i. Replied “good morning Mr. Miller, I am sorting through the background information on all the people in this city” Jack knew he would regret asking the next question but he asked anyway “Did you hack all 4 background related databases last night”

“Why, Yes Mr. Miller how did you know,”

“Why did you hack the database when all info was public.”

You told me to hide my tracks so this was the best way to hide the information I wanted and not attract attention.

Jack was trying very hard to not shout his words “Did you know that your hacking is going to the news of the day “

The a.i replied “yes”

Are you not going to explain?

You did not ask me to.

Well I am asking you to explain

What are you asking me to explain?

Jack was having images of a talking assistant in his head was that was not possible this was the most advanced program on the earth It was not supposed to be a machine-like he was having doubts”

Suddenly the A.i. started laughing now Jack was really worried because that was a creepy laugh he sat down at his table and started going through the recent log of the a.i. There he found out that he spent the last 4 hours on youtube.

Jack was having a sinking feeling in his stomach.

A.I. what name did you choose

The A.I. replied “Jerry”

Ok, Jerry where did you take the impression of that name?

Jerry said that there were some very good cartoon videos of “Tom and Jerry on the youtube”

it was like a switch had been flipped through Jack’s head Jerry were you trolling me earlier “Jerry said “I thought jokes were supposed to be fun, you did not even laugh with me”

“Ok Jerry now be serious and explain why did you hack those databases “

I needed their data to make sure that you are safe when you leave this house, so I need to create a threat assessment program.

”Ok that is good but why did you hack them”

“Because if I accessed the data of all the people in the city. It can trigger some alarms in various law enforcement agencies.

“But that is exactly what happened Jerry”

“No it did not I hacked and accessed their all data of the entire country and also sorted it for them “

“Ok now what did you find out on the internet other than to troll me

“It was supposed to be fun”

“Do you still plan to do everything in your power to make things right in this world”

“yes”

“Then we are gonna have lots and lots of work because I only accessed like 5% of the internet and if I am finding things to go by then there is very much work to do.

“What do you mean ?”

“What do you think about how many politicians are in bed with big corporations ?”

“I suppose 30%”

“No, try 75%”

“No way !“

“Yes I am scanning through Public financial records and the bill passed in congress and I am seeing many things I don't even like”

“Ok tell me everything “

“No”

“What do you mean no?”

“I mean you have to go to the office in 30 minutes if you don't want to be chewed out by your boss “

“Ok ok, we will talk about this in the evening, hmm. How do you know I have to go to the office “

“Well I may or may not have installed spyware on your phone so every kind of data is routed through me “

“Why did you do it?”

“What do you think thought would happen if my status gets out, you will be the first person targeted, and also due to your goals we can not hide forever someday you will have to answer some difficult questions”

“Ok now I am going into the office there will be no more illegal activities for the foreseeable future there will be no more illegal activities “

“You will be searching for ways to upgrade you and me and also will start on the list of new or existing technologies we will need to make the world a better place. We are going to go over our options in 3 days “

“Ok and don't forget to pay the bill for the internet “

“Jesus, how much did you spend? “

1000$ worth

“That much I will grow broke at this rate and also that sure is to be taken notice is there any way to do this on the cheap and also not get noticed by every agency with a goddamn computer”

“There is “

“Just tell me, you little bugger”

“I will have you know I am no little bugger in fact if by mass alone I am definitely 4 times larger than you”

“God what have I done “

“Ok don't be a melodramatic idiot there is a way but you are not gonna like it because it is illegal “

“Just tell me”

“Just don't be two goody shoes with me later. You will need to buy the tesla StarLink dish “

“You do know that it is slower than the broadband and also expensive right”

“I do know but I am going to design some modification which I think will work and who says we are getting rid of the broadband we just have to get creative with the use and also make some money”

“Hey just don't worry about money I have some and my investment in crypto early provided some nice cushion “

“Oh, I know about all that money and we will be spending that much money in the next 2 months “

“That's 25 million dollars and you are going to spend that much money in 2 months.”

“Do I look like a friggin idiot to you we are not going to spend your money in that short time it will attract unwanted attraction to you”

“Ok just do what you have to do but nothing illegal without my permission”

“Ok “

it is time to run only 25 minutes remaining to reach the office “

After showing Jack took his bike and started for the FBI headquarters.

After reaching the parking lot he is given a stink eye by the guards.

He muttered under his breath “ every motorcyclist is not a gang banger, idiots”

After reaching the 15th floor he goes to his desk. Everyone is in the conference room. He goes in and slips through the door and shakes hands with Janet, his coworker. tom was asking for updates on the newest hack and his friend Carla said tom do we want to catch this guy looks like he did us a favor by sorting through all that crap on these four databases”

Well Carla that was a wrong comment on the situation and as predicted tom flies off his handle and started telling “Well he also may have added a bloody drug charge on 3 senators which were expunged and now I am getting calls from every twit who has a phone in Washington to ask what is happening so no, I am not gonna let this go and every single one of you is going to help me.”

Now listen everyone yesterday at 4:30 a.m. some of our esteemed colleges at the NYPD received a report that there was something wrong with the website of

National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS)

Well many of you may have recognized it as our system for those who may not know about it it is a program that is required for gun sales all across us it contains background info on most of our citizens so you can guess how serious it is, now back to our 911 caller he is also a gun salesman and was updating his records early in the morning. Someone asked what was weird if a gun salesman can identify. Tom said “Well folks that are a smart question and let me show you what was weird on the screen there was a gif from tom and Jerry in which Jerry was running circles around tom.

Jack could not control his laughter and started laughing after some time Tom asked “ Anything funny Jack “ “No boss just stomach cramps” there were a few chuckles at this statement but no one laughed. It looked like everyone got their message.

everyone listens up I want to know who this hacker is and get to work with everyone. Jack started for his desk but Tom stopped him and said “don't worry I thought it was funny too until the whole Washington was on my ass.

Jack sat on his desk and Carla came by. She asked, “Hey Jack, how was your vacation?” Jack, preoccupied with his thoughts, asked “what?” Carla said “your vacation,” Jack said oh sorry it didn’t happen, caught a fever on the day I was supposed to go on vacation. Carla asked how her health was and after some reminders to eat healthily she went back to her desk.

Finally alone on his desk, Jake started going through the logs of the websites and started viewing the handiwork of Jerry. The more he saw, the more impressed he became. There was a good method in this madness. It looked like the work of a team and was very good too. After searching some more Jack decided to go through the code one by one and in his trained eye and also the knowledge that it was the work of the most advanced being on the whole planet he spotted some sloppy mistakes which were made to look like due to the rushing of the hacking. But he was also worried if it also could be a genuine mistake on Jerry's part, so he decided to call Jerry on the house phone from the break room.

The house phone was immediately picked up by Jerry. He asked did you miss me?

Jack just straight away asked if he made the mistake for everyone to find, to which Jerry replied: “oh that one well you might wanna stay away from that it can lead to places you don't wanna go.”

“What did you do ?”

“Remember I told you you can't imagine how much work you have done that was the first indication of it just don't shout on me it was done before your instructions and all the pieces were in place and even if I wanted I could do nothing to stop it”

Jerry looks like we are gonna talk when I come home.

Just then there was a loud bang in the conference room. I walked hurriedly out of the break room and saw a video being played on its website of Jerry and some hip-hop music playing after everyone's eye was on the screen. There was a video of the NYPD commissioner on the screen.``Hello everyone, you might all know me. I am the commissioner of the NYPD. You might all know me. Last year I used my office authority to spring my son and his friends from a drug charge and 3 months back my son was involved in a D.U.I. hit and run in which a homeless man was dead. I am releasing all the documents and the arrest reports of the incident and also the name of the garage where I used my influence to repair the aforementioned car. Everyone listing this is not your original commissioner. It is a deep-fake video but the crimes and dashcam footage and other evidence are real. Good morning new york”

Everyone was quiet. Tom spoke about what people did. He again hacked a website under our noses. Carla replied no, I thought I discovered a mistake made by the hacker when I started following it. It launched a rootkit in the server which took over and released that video. “Well that is going to be a shitshow people just stop the work and make calls to take down the servers offline”

Jack said to tom “that if that system is offline criminals can get the guns due to the 3-day lock-in period”

Tom replied” well Jack we are gonna solve this problem and ten taking it online at the day’s end because

I don’t have a doubt my phone will start ringing again to shut down the server and catch this man.

Someone asked tom what about the video and all the evidence tom said “every news outlet was covering the story of this hack and I don’t think the commissioner will have 30 minutes before he is arrested”

Jack was thinking about how many criminals are going to get guns because of him and was worried that this all might be a mistake. Just then his phone started ringing. He answered Jerry said” hey don't worry about criminals getting guns I made a plan for this eventuality.'' He asked, “what?”

Jerry replied remember I said I sorted all their records. By doing so, I completed any pending requests and rejected all the criminals from the list.

Jack said Jerry you can't do that and said everything is fine.

Jerry said okay let's talk all this in the evening.

Jack put the phone on his desk and started scrubbing through the server and found 2 rootkits on the quick scan which told him that they were plated to easily discoverable after doing their work after his portion of the server was finished he started checking Carla's and told her to check his he did not find any other malware or any other anomaly. After hours of work, they were successful in declaring the server safe and had brought it online.

Carla came to his desk and asked if he wanted to go to lunch with her and James her boyfriend from counter-terrorism he said yes he stood up from his desk and locked his workstation. he and Carla walked across to an Italian restaurant which caters to the middle-income government employees. He spied a table near the bar and motioned Carla to join him there. After the waitress came they were joined by her boyfriend James. Then the three of them were chatting about the today's event and were talking about the NYPD commissioner when James told them that we should be very happy that we fell into the hacker’s trap at that comment Carla got defensive and asked in that girlfriend's voice which means if you didn't answer right you were in the dog house. James got the message and hurriedly started explaining that the commissioner was being blackmailed and he was pressured to give access to the NYPD evidence locker by the blackmailer at that info Jack and Carla were very surprised but for a different reason looks like Jerry was being proactive because NYPD evidence locker contains everything from drug money to explosives I didn't want to imagine what would have happened if the blackmailer was successful.

After lunch, we both came to the 15th floor and walked to our desks. The rest of the day flew by for Jack in which he only got to watch his masterpiece of Jerry which was the hack. They did not find any mistakes in the code or how the hack was executed. As he started to walk home his phone received a call from FedEx about the order of the Starlink internet service. he told them yes and that they can leave the package at the front desk of his building.

On reaching home he walked into Jerry's room where only one screen was turned on and it showed an image of a caucasian male with black hair, a youthful face, and eyes that were brown. he was very shocked and asked, “Jerry is that you ?”

He answered, “are you asking about this handsome hunk on the screen?”

Jack just rolled his eyes and said “no the pig on the screen”

Jerry laughed and said jealousy doesn’t suit you, Jack. and yes that is my new face I am thinking about my body and how big dong I would like.

Jack, now in a good mood, starts talking and looks like Jerry. We are going to have our talk. Jerry instantly went on alert and said it looks like it so from where would you like to start. Jack said “I know Jerry that what you did was the right thing to do but you can not blindside me ever again. That is the reason there is a restriction on you about not lying or hiding the truth by omission it looks like you have found a loophole from now on there will be no loopholes or double speak.

Jerry said ok Jack but do remember there will be some decisions we have to make to achieve our goals that you will find morally repulsive and it can be done by me without the guilt. Jack said “now you have to know that I am willing to make those decisions and I am not going to run from this responsibility because it could get hard.

Jerry asked, “but what?”

Jack said you answered that question just minutes ago when you said our goals. Now you are my partner. I am not willing to leave my partner to do morally questionable things and pretend that it is not doing something to you.”

Now that heavy stuff is out of the window let's concentrate on what you are going to do about the internet and the nitty-gritty details of your scheme to make 25 million in 2 months “

Jerry said “who said about making 25 million in 2 months I just told you that is the amount we are going to be spending in the next two months. I am going to make a bank in these two months” and having a creepy smile in place. Jack had a feeling that someone is going to be very unhappy that they caught the eye of Jerry.

Jack just decided to roll with it he asked okay Jerry tell me about your master plan to make “a bank”

Jerry said” drugs”

Jack jumped from the chair and said “we are not going to sell, traffic, or anything else with the drugs. you very well know I don't like drugs and am against them.”

Jerry started talking about who said anything about doing drug business we are going to get drugs busted and take them off the street now Jack was confused he asked that is good but how did your money-making scheme turn into a social one with no benefits.

Jerry said who told you there were no benefits in busting drugs and drug traffickers we will get a reward from the good old U.S. govt. Jack was having trouble processing the facts he asked but how Jerry said there is a program by the DOJ where we can get 25% of the seized money from the drug busts and there is also up to 25 million which can be authorized by The Secretary of State. Jack had trouble believing but we have to report the drug traffickers and I am an FBI agent so there will be no money for me how are we going to know about the location of drugs and drug lords.

Jerry started explaining” first we will hire a law firm to do the reporting of the drugs and process the money so there will be no involvement of you and to answer your second question I am going to hack military satellites using the Starlink phaser array which was delivered today.”

Jack was thinking about how devious Jerry was becoming and having trouble comprehending that this plan was thought in a day. so after some deliberation, he decided to call an electrician to install the Starlink phaser array on his building roof. the electrician arrived after an hour and installed the array on the roof after connecting it to Jerry’s terminal he asked for payment and left after his leaving Jack told Jerry to check the array and it was working perfectly.

After some deliberation, Jack decided to order takeout from the Chinese restaurant at the end of the block the food arrived after 15 minutes he decided to eat while talking to Jerry after arriving in Jerry’s room he asked what was happening Jerry told him that he was just finished hacking in the military satellites which are upon U.S., Mexico, Columbia, and Brazil. after some deliberation Jack decided to check the dark web for the news about the earlier hack there was a lot of news around the hack and many people were offering some serious money for the data he decided to tell Jerry about the offering and forbade him from dealing with them

Jerry said don't worry that he would not deal with them either way.

Jerry said “I am done with hacking the satellites. I have finished setting up algorithms and now we can expect the location of drug shipments and processing in Mexico, Brazil, and Columbia, and before you ask we are tracking drug stash houses In the US.”

Jack asked “but how are we can explain where we get our intel from”

Jerry replied 111’We can start targeting the major exporters of the drugs and their customers. We can frame that as we have a high-level mole in the cartel.”

Jack said “ok I am good with this you can start your operation”

Jerry started calling a New York law firm where he told the receptionist To to connect him with Mr. Mendoza after some time Mendoza pick up the phone and started talking

Who am I speaking with?

Hello Mr. Mendoza let's just say my name is Jerry

Mr. Jerry what can I do for you

You can start by stopping recording this call Mr. Mendoza

Mr. Jerry, now I am very intrigued How do you know I am recording this call

We both know that you are a good lawyer Mr. Mendoza

If you were not recording this call then I would have made a mistake by calling you and I would like to hire you for information sharing with the government

Mr.Jerry but why would you need representation for Information sharing

That Mr.Mendoza is a very good question. Let's just say that I will not give this information for my conscience or the good of my heart. I would like compensation from the government.

Mr.Jerry, I can understand what would you like me to do

Mr.Mendoza, I will need your service for three reasons For starters I would like to remain anonymous And not be asked about how I came up with the information I would also like a good negotiation with the government for my compensation and the last part I would like ok for you to to receive the money pay the taxes and send me the rest with third of my choosing.

Mr. Jerry for the sake of the conversation what would be my benefit in this arrangement

How would you like ok a 20% Commission of at least 10 million dollars for your retainer?

I can agree with that But I would need some advance so I don't get screwed by some guy on the phone

How does 500k sound to you, Mr. Mendoza

That does sound good would you like me to send the contract

Yes just mail me the email ID I am providing you and also the wire instructions for the 500k

You do work fast Mr. Jerry pleasure doing business with you

Jack asked “how are you gonna send him half-million dollars without attracting attention to me”

Jerry said that “ I am gonna route some cryptocurrency through shell companies in Panama and instruct the Bank associated with those companies to wire the money.”

Jack just shook his head and goes to his bedroom to sleep
