    Vince finds himself at the Public Library. He isn't sure how he got there, but he knew it was important he he risk the blazing sun and its hateful wrath.

    He promised the lord above he would never become intoxicated again. Never never never.

    The night before was hazy, And Vince though it incredulous that this Charity girl was even real. "No one is that perfect." He assured himself. A near by librarian hushed him and Vince grimaced in return.

    He made his way tot he Computer labs, looking for an open PC among the odd gathering of Sacramento citizens. The unlawful USB drive burning a hole in his pocket.

    Vince easily finds a computer and sits down at it. He sits down, and plugs in the flash drive, He tries to pull up the file. He quickly realizes that the files on the stick aren't going to be as easy to get as Charity's phone number had been the night before. They're encrypted. And right so. At a glance it's more hardcore a lock-out than anything Vince could remember seeing. He had cracked some heavy shit in the past, though, and he could give it a try. The first thing he had to do, though, was break the system locks on the Library's computer.

    If he didn't work fast, though, there was a chance someone would notice him, and he couldn't help but think what Detective Campbell would think of him hacking into a public terminal to check out some files that a man had been willing to commit suicide over.

    Roll int+computers. Need 6 suxx. Take as many rolls as you need (each roll is 10 minutes) For every roll after the first three roll a chance die to determine if you've been discovered. Post all rolls.

    The first 30 minutes.


    Vince get right to work finding the back door to the the terminal. five minute pass and he makes little headway,After fifteen minutes he starts making dumb mistakes. He nears half an hour and starts to worry. The sign taped to the moniter informed him that half an hour was the allotted time per user. Fine.

    He resets everything back, takes his drive, and heads for the something to read. He finds himself among the New Warcraft novels. Interesting... He picks one out, finds an open table and begins to read.

    An hour and a half latter.

    Reading was never one of Vinces strong-suits, But the book helps to distract him from his criminal activity. An hour passes since his first attempt and he sits himself down to try again. Anouther thirty minutes passes and Vince almost done. He glance around, Maybe no one will notice him going over time?

    Anybody?


    Everyone is ignore his presence. Vince figure can risk finishing off the USB in another few minutes.

    Let me see that.

    The pressure helps him focus and fate is on his side for once. He begins pulling up the files on the USB.

    Vince tears down the system locks that had been placed on the PC. Now he's got full, uninhibited access to the computer.

    The flash drive has a few sections on it that are obviously encrypted but there are a few things Vince can access. A text file and a video file among them.

    Vince grins at his success. He open the video file first, then the Text file. The other would have to wait until he had more time. Haxxor pwn PC, Rofl. Noob

    Vince manages to figure out that some dumbass had the volume CRANKED on the computer he's working on. Good thing too, because even after turning the sound down the audio track on the video: A woman screaming, is surprisingly loud - prompting Vince to look around sheepishly and tweak the volume even further.

    The video depicts a downward angle overlooking a train-yard. A woman is screaming and crying as she stumbles across the girders and through the gravel. As soon as the woman leaves the view of one camera the angle switches. It's pretty obvious someone has edited this together. At one point the woman stows herself into a boxcar, evidently out of sight of any available camera angles.

    A couple of men run into the shot, looking around. One motions to the box car and says something that Vince can't make out. One of the men goes around the back of the car while the other waits at the other entrance to the car. Suddenly it becomes obvious what the men are doing, as the woman comes running out of the box car - chased by one man. She runs right into the arms of the waiting man. He grabs her, throws her to the ground, pulls a knife from his belt, and stabs her. The other man kicks her savagely in the head while she's being stabbed. She wails pathetically, bleeding and thrashing, and then she's still. The two men breathe heavily for a moment, looking at each other. Then they high-five.

    The video ends.

    Vince blnks in disbelief. No way...

    He thought he had gotten something he could use. Instead he got something sick and twisted. Were these the guys that crashed into him?
    Vince closes the Video file and polls up the text file. Hoping to learn anything that might explain what he just saw.
