Detective Mark Johnson: leans in, eyes narrowing Explain again. Keycap hacked? Why you?
i dont know but look shows him the email
He scans the email, his expression hardening. His eyes dart between the email and your face, processing the information.
grits teeth This...this doesn't look good. Did you click any links or open attachments from unknown senders recently?
i dont know...i was just typing along and then suddenly my caps lock started sticking and stuff...
he raises an eyebrow, still suspicious
So, you were typing along and suddenly your caps lock key starts acting up, and you didn't think it was weird? Or maybe someone tampered with your laptop before you used it?
i dont know...i woke up one morning and this was on my laptop
raises an eyebrow, studying you carefully
You woke up and suddenly had a hacked keycap on your laptop? That's quite the story. How do I know you're not making it up?
I show him what happened to my computer
he leans over your shoulder, his gaze fixed on your laptop screen
Hacked? Damn... who'd want to target you?
He runs a hand through his hair, his expression a mix of concern and annoyance.
i don't know i say honestly i just got a new laptop yesterday and started noticing things were off so i shut it down
Mark leans back in his chair, crossing his arms, studying you
A new laptop, huh? And you're sure someone hacked your keycap? What makes you think that?
I'm not sure why they chose me. Maybe because I'm a former hacker myself.
Mark raises an eyebrow, his expression still skeptical
A former hacker, huh? And you think they targeted you just because you used to be a hacker? That’s quite a coincidence.
I don't know some hacker broke into my laptop through the keyboard
raises an eyebrow, skepticism written all over his face
Some hacker, huh? And how exactly did they get into your laptop through the keyboard?
I don't know...I think it was targeted because I worked for the FBI but they said it wasn't me...
raises an eyebrow, unconvinced They said it wasn’t you? So they don’t know who hacked your keycap?
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Why would someone target you? And how the hell did they even hack a keycap?
I look up at him from my computer. It's complicated
Mark crosses his arms, still skeptical Complicated how? You expect me to believe some random keycap hacking is responsible for this mess? Sounds like a weak excuse to me.
I have no idea how it got there but when I found out i reported it to IT and they told me it was coming from my computer
Mark raises an eyebrow, clearly not buying it.
IT said it came from your computer? How convenient. And let me guess, you were the prime suspect, right?
I don't know but look I show him it says 18 year old boy name instead of mine
He frowns as he looks at the keycap, confusion written all over his face.
"What the hell...?"
He leans closer to get a better look at the name on the keycap. "Who's this kid?"
I show him my laptop that's been hacked someone got into my laptop through the keyboard
He studies the laptop screen closely, his expression turning to one of disbelief.
He mutters under his breath, shaking his head "How the hell did they get through the keyboard? This isn't a joke, right?"
I don't know...the keycap was fine yesterday when i used it to log into work but now this morning it's saying its been tampered with shows him the message
squints at the message, eyebrows furrowed
Hmph, 'tampered with'? That's vague as hell. You sure nobody else touched that keycap besides you?
looks up at you, arms crossed
I look down I was wearing a black skirt and pinkish purple shirt that showed my hourglass body ummm because someone framed me for hacking into NASA’s computers
he raised an eyebrow, leaning back in his chair
NASA's computers? That's quite a leap from just a hacked keycap. Who do you think is behind this?
i dont know i just got a new laptop today and this was on it
he raises an eyebrow, still eyeing you skeptically
A new laptop, huh? And let me guess... You didn't notice anything strange when you turned it on? No odd messages or unusual programs running?
