Beschreibung

Somewhere, in one of these many servers on the world, it was hidden and sleeping between resistors and capacitors, made from zeros and ones, in one of these little black boxes with silver tiny legs, to, one day, wake up and attack again. It hat lost many of his heads, but it was still there.

Hellen just knelt to examine the body more closely, as her phone rang. Annoyed she stood up and turned away from the dead corpse. She pulled her cell phone out of her pocket and looked at the display. As soon as she read the name, her mood changed rapidly. »Hello Sweety,« she squealed into the phone, raising here voice on the Y about two octaves. John hated that.

»Why on earth, you call me on such a mind blogging time?« It was true. This time of the morning was a rare time for John. He either was hard-working and no time at all, or he was sleeping. John had some good news for her. He actually called to tell her that the tour, from the Band he is working for at the moment, had been cancelled, and he would come home early. However, Hellen got interrupted by one of the criminal investigators who tapped her on the shoulder.

»Hold on,« Hellen said, taking her phone down and letting John hang on in the line.

»The victim, presumably, as you might have seen, being shot through the head, we believe, however, that this is not the crime scene where he was shot.« Of course, Hellen hadn’t seen the wound correctly, but she pretended she had.

»The Victim,« the technician passed a plastic evidence bag to her with a ID-card in it.

»His Name is Imanu Zorborsky, and he is from the Ukraine Twenty-eight years old.« Hellen took the bag.

»Anything else will be in our report, which we hope will be ready tomorrow.« The man turned around and continued his work again. Hellen took a look at the ID-card.

»Hello Hellen,« came it from her phone. Hellen wanted to tell John she would call him back.

»Hello Hellen. Hold on.« Hellen put the phone back to her ear and listened.

»Is that a tall skinny guy, with a thin goatee. Looks like he never ever shaved it off. Blond about five feet seven?« Hellen turned around and took a good look at the victim.

»Yes, why? Do you know him?«

»No, not personally, but when I’m correct, he is the cryptographer, the hacker. But what is he doing there with you?« Yes that was a good question John had asked her. What does a presumably Hacker from the Ukraine doing here in her home town, and most important? Why had he been shot dead? Hellen looked at the crime scene, but it truly didn’t look like Imasnu Zorborsky had been shot here. Hellen thanked the investigator and returned to her car. She drove back to the bureau.

It’s been two days now but there was no more new information from the victim. They were looking now for a hotel room, if there ever had been one. John had arrived and seemed bored by the thing that Hellen was working. John was sitting with a newspaper in the Bistro close to the bureau. Hellen entered the Bistro at noon and looked for him. Quickly she found him.

»Afternoon George,« she said.

»I would like to have one of these Café au Lait if you please.« John placed the newspaper aside and grabbed his girlfriend.

»Ho, no sex in my resort, if you folks don’t mind!« George said with a loud voice from behind the counter. Hellen took place next to John and waited for George to bring her a Café au Lait. She glimpsed at the newspaper. There wasn’t much good news to read. »Not much going on in the world,« George said.

»Mexicans, who kill each other and the Cayman banks seems to have a leak in their computer system, some gave some information about a couple of crooks. Ah, a member of the parliament taken into custody. Fraud they say. And tax evasion.«

»What’s your case doing?«
