nearest one was in a
county prison waiting to be transferred over to a federal prison for
raping his wife and killing her. He had a 19 year old daughter but
her name hadn't been listed as one of the people who'd been harmed by
the man. Max didn't believe for a second that he hadn't hurt his
daughter and decided to put him on her list, right at the very top.
Max prepared by trying to find any public records of the jail, but
after a vigorous search she hadn't found a damn thing. She needed to
know where his cell was because she couldn't spend too much time
inside the facility. The guards would realize she was there very fast
and would move to protect her target from her.
After hours of searching she finally found a black market site
selling the information she needed. She would need a way of getting
it that didn't require payment because the risk of getting caught up
in the black market, and maybe being arrested, was too high.
Though she had no idea how to do just that. And she had to leave for
her weekend job anyway, so she would have to formulate a plan.

During Max's shift at work she came across a small proposal to have a
professional hacker come in and teach the students about keeping
their online lives safe and anonymous. The hacker was actually a
network security teacher at a major technology university, having
been hired after he'd successfully broken their network while high on
drugs on a dare from an equally drugged up friend. The university had
decided that his sentence, which was community service, could be best
served by teaching his methods at the university level. He'd agreed
and had decided to pursue a full time career as a teacher after his
sentence was over.
The proposal was absolutely stupid and a complete waste of money as
far as Max was concerned. Even the other members of the student
government had agreed so. The proposal had been denied but still had
to be filed as per the rules of the charter for the organization. So
Max filed it but then decided to research the professor more. It
turned out all of his lectures were recorded and published online for
others to use after a small fee was paid. The fee was quite high
compared to Max's budget, but she decided to set aside enough money
to buy the lectures, even though it meant she would need to work some
overtime for her freelance web design job.
She didn't have much longer though. The man she was after would be
moved in 2 more weeks, after a 6 week delay due to over-population at
the prison he would be assigned to. Max had to learn network security
and all related info in less than that time, completely from scratch.
If she could do it she could certainly just steal the information she
needed, lessening her risk of being involved in something illegal
that could get her caught.
She got started with the lectures she'd paid for, watching them at 4
times the normal speed of playback. Though it would still take days
to watch them all, Max patiently went through them. She absorbed the
information quite well and after she was done she found she had a
much better grasp of even her own schools computer network. Within a
day of finishing the lecture videos she'd managed to sneak her way
into the schools network and change the website access and logging
for her computer. She erased all the traces of her activity since the
night she'd killed her father after being thoroughly surprised and
sickened at how much information they kept about their students
browsing habits. The school could have put google to shame if they
ever made their records public.
Even so, Max finally had the freedom she would need to
begin finding a covert way to get the information about the prison
layout. She began the next morning, but it took a number of days and
many failed attempts that definitely didn't go unnoticed before she
finally got the info she needed. She was down to the last day before
the transfer would take place but had lucked out. The info featured
