I honked at the car infront of me with frustration. He was slowing down allowing cars on the other lane to overtake us making the already slow traffic more slower. I honked again this time much louder and longer. I saw him put his hand out and point his middle finger in the air.  Would you believe this guy? I sighed and sank deeper into my car seat. From my side morror i could see a man alighting from the car behind me  and headed straight for the car infront . I leaned on my steering wheel to see clearly how this would unfold. The older guy begin to talk to the young man in the car. He was leaning towards the car while holding its roof. I could not see the other person's face now though i could not miss his hand waving around in dismissal. What followed made my day.

Kpwaaaff!!!

I heard the slap and people in opposite cars erupted into laughter.

"Am old enough to be your father, don't you dare talk to me like a two year old. If you do_ there is more where that came from."

The guy then adjusted his sleeves and made back for his car. The traffic that had stopped began to move and the car infront of me knew well to move with it.

As i moved from the crowded traffic to a much freer road my thoughts wondered off to David my new founded friend. The pamphlet he had given me had made me confront some of the things i had been putting on the bottom drawer, locking and throwing away my key

. The other day's conversation had just added more heat to a boiling soup. I knew i needed more and more this. I needed to know more about Jesus Christ of Nazareth. His grace that saved us through faith. Not because of what we have done or what we could ever do but because of what He had done on the cross. 

Ephesians  1:8 For by grace we have been saved through faith and that not of yourself. Lest anyone should boast

Jared was now fully recovered  and had come back to work. On this particular day i had gone to see my other cyber cafes located in different sites on the same city. Now i was on my way back home. I did not have an address as to where he lived or even his cell contact. We had been so much carried away in our conversation that we did not get time to share those. I thought about asking it from Jared but quickly decided against it. It would only make him think i was after David because of his good looks. I thought about Philip. He had not replied my other text of being hacked. I wondered why he was being such a douche bag.  I had really liked him but with each passing day the supposed connection i had felt was getting drained in the toilet.

My phone started vibrating. It was Mercy. Being on a less busy road i decided to pick it.

"Hello girl, how have you been this past few days?"

"Am doing great i hope you are too."

"Well _ here i wish i could say the same thing. Philip has not been the same person since you left."

"How you mean?"

"He is too moody. Have you heard he changed the dates for initiating the project ?..i wonder why."

I kept silent. We had not been in contact with Mercy so i had not told her about Phil coming to my place.

"Am sorry to hear about that Mercy."

"Enough with the bad news. I got us some good news _ we've found ourselves a hacker."

"Oh _ really...wow thank you so much Mercy. When can we go see him?"

"Uuuhm about that .... i was hoping you could go and see him because i have so much work and i dont think i will be free soon enough."

"Don't you worry about it. You have done too much already."

I missed our girl times.

"I will send you the adress in a minute."

"Alright. Thanks girl."

*********_********

"Come on in." A man's voice said on the inside.

I pushed the door open. His living room was a small one and was dimly lt. The ventilation however was amazing. A middle aged man wearing reading glasses appeared from the other room offering his hand for a shake. He was jolly which was an apposite of my expectation. I expected nerds to be nerds Isn't that what movies sells computer guys =nerds. 

"Mercy sent me here. My social media accounts were all hacked costing me my job. I am hoping you could trace the hack back to its original souce."

"Should be a piece of cake. Happens alot lately _ well unless the one who hacked you is smatter than me." He said with a grin.

He opened a laptop that was halfway opened on a seperate table at the corner of the room. He motioned me to move closer.

"Please open your facebook account from here that i might take a look."

I moved closer then typed my username and password on the slots provided.

"How are you going to use it since i deleted the post itself."

"Don't you worry that madam. Deleting in social sites has a different meaning. Its almost like hiding it from the eyes of the publc _ recovering such data is easy."

He opened some sort of dialog box and typed on it a recovery code i presumed. Viola! Right on the screen the deleted post appeared on my timeline at the exact time it was posted.

"I love this." I said rubbing my palm together as if anricipating for something.

"You were so hacked _ and whoever did this planted a RAT on your accounts too."

"A RAT!" What on earth was he talking about am pretty sure i would see a rat running around my social media tracking my every move.

"A remote access trojam to allow him have acces in the future"

"Oh _ that." I said shaking my head in exaggeration.  I would laugh at myself remembering that situation. 

"Hacking you account might have been easy _ even you can hack an account. Whoever did this to you was going to do something else crazy on your account in the near future. It must be very personal to him whoever he is."

My mind was screaming Kim Kim the whole time. I felt like this time i was ready to fight him back on whatever basis. His guns did not scare me.

"You see the difference."

I looked at the screen and there two sets of dialog boxes. One code was written in black. The latter was similar to the first one with exception of little red extensions that would otherwise been unnoticed to such eyes as mine.

"I hope i will be able to get an IP address." He said while continuing to type on the dialog box provided. Was this like a gift of prophecy or something? Because this was like magic before my eyes.

"Damn it! He coverd up his tracks ... this is going to be more difficult."

"So what now." I assumed the seat had left starring at the screen waiting for some magic to happen. The computer guy was rummaging through stuff in a box.

"Yes! Now lets ride."

I leaped off my seat. He charged into action. Whatever was going on i did not want to know. I moved to the window and looked outside.

Read " Ultimate Sacrifice " by the same author ( DORSILA ANYANGO )

. The house i was well built compared to the ones outside. It gave a picture of some sort of slum hidden from the public eye.

"Tada!"

I plucked my gaze from the outside view and quickly came to his side by the computer. He wrote on a piece of paper by his side.

"This is the address near the cell tower on which you were hacked from. I would suggest you send me to look this up for you this is no ladies job."

Sounded great.

"So how much will you need for this job well done."

"Just ten thousand." He replied casually 

I fished out eight  thousand from my purse.

"You get the rest of the money when the  job done...and maybe just maybe i will put a tip on top of the rest of your pay." I said winking at him.

"What exactly will you be looking for? I inquired 

"You need to know if the guy who hacked you was hired or not. I also need to get his phone _ clone it so that i might get access to his phone for tangible evidence."

"Why do you think he is male?"

"Oh well female hackers are quite few _ and the few i know are more fierce than this. "

I smiled inwardly to that statement. 

"I geuss i will see you ......"

"Tommorow your answers will be ready. "

"Be careful _ He might be dangerous."

"I will be discrete... he wont know i was there."

"Tommorow then."

"Tommorrow."
