In the not so long ago days when hacking was considered a talent and lessons were not offered to compensate for the loss identities of the people, there was man named Patrick. 5’7 in height, fair skinned and not really the most humble person in the world, he was as many people would say, a man with more looks than that of brains, but little did they know that Patrick was one of the brainiest person in the world. He was as Rose (his girlfriend) would say a superhero, having more than the wit of robin hood and the charm of Superman, she believed that he was capable enough of doing anything he set his mind too, expect of course; stopping her, after all she knew he loved her so much that when it comes down to it he wouldn’t have the guts to break her.
And so the story begins with a brief sigh, a splat and a loud scream.
*Lights slowly fade in
*Sounds: loud plates splattering
*Cast: Rose and Patrick PRE-SET.
Patrick: What the hell is your problem can’t you see that i’m busy?!
Rose: Yes, I can see that but don’t you think I am more important than that silly anti-hacking craze your on? I mean come on, I’m your girlfriend Patrick. YOUR GIRLFRIEND. I’m not just some piece of shit you can turn to when there aren’t hackers for you to stop. *ends up hysterically crying.
Patrick: Rose… *tries to comfort her, she removes his hands from her. Rose please its not like that it’s just that people’s lives are at stake here. I’m sorry.
Rose: Fuck that excuse, why can’t you just tell me straight to my face that the only reason your doing that is because of little Ms. Perfect Marie.
Patrick: Because that is not the case!
Rose: Ha?! Really. Come on, her face is plastered all over your desktop, how do you expect me to believe you then?
Patrick: Please rose, stop this. I’ll quit finding the hacker for your sake.
Rose: Would you really?
Patrick: Yes. *phone rings, he leaves the room
Rose: *aside, hah! Fool. If he thinks this hacker business is ever going to stop then he’s wrong, I’ll do everything to destroy him and Marie and he can’t stop me. (evil laugh)
LIGHTS black out.
*Patrick enters a room that may seem like a bar, a condo lobby, and living room, but nobody can seem to tell which is which.
Patrick: Marie I’m sorry but I have to stop this, it’s impossible.
Marie: Don’t please?
Patrick: I have to.
Marie: But whoever’s doing this is ruining me, I have been rejected in all of the modelling agencies I’ve been to just because they say they’ve chatted with me and I am the most promiscuous and most inappropriate model of all times. It’s heart breaking, to see people let me pass by just because someone is messing with me.
Patrick: But…
Marie: Please? What are you scared of? Don’t tell me you’re afraid of stopping the hacker?
Patrick: No… But… It’s not… And… Please… Don’t let me do this.
Marie: Do what? *She comes near his ear, whispers the words You know who it is don’t you?
Patrick: Nods… No… Yes… Maybe
Marie: Just as I thought the brave Patrick is not so brave after all.
*His ego being hurt, he hysterically burst out screaming.
Patrick: So maybe I know who it is, but do you think it’s an easy thing to stop her?!
*Marie provokes her
Marie: Hahaha. So you’re afraid of some girl. Pathetic.
Patrick: It’s not just some girl. For God’s sake I love her. LOVE!
Marie: So that’s why… *Pauses.
…but let me tell you this, loving someone is not about letting her get away with the things that she does even if you know it’s wrong. It’s about having the guts to move forward and say “I love you, I’m sorry but this has gone out of hand and justice exempts no one.” *Marie walks out, leaves Patrick alone.
* Patrick returns home to Rose, he enters her empty apartment. His phone rings and he picks it up.
Rose: *Sobbing, How can you do this to me? I though you loved me?
Patrick: But what you did was wrong.
Rose: Bullshit Patrick, Can’t you see. She just used you, she framed me for hacking her.
*Confused he put down the phone, went over to his computer, opened it and within just minutes, he solved the problem. He found out who the hacker was.
TELON.
