Not only that, but now...someone out there is now walking around with all of Wammy's information on its children and staff...life has just got a little more complex, and Matt is in desperate need of a smoke...

Winchester, London...cold...

Yes, this fit the dreary, gray and lifeless atmosphere beautifully...the kids of Wammy's were still residing within their rooms, working on their assignments, school lessons or cleaning. It was only an hour after classes had ended, so no one was playing outside just yet. It usually took about two hours before anyone was seen having fun outside or in the halls. Well, with the exception of one weird Albino boy, who, immediately would make his way to the common area to play with his blank puzzle. Oh...and of course, another boy who was usually found in an upside down, relaxed position, on his friends bed. Either playing a game, or watching a movie. The boy always delayed finishing his work, but always finished it in time to turn it in to his teachers.

"Oi, Matt!"

Matt, a boy of fourteen with, fair skins messy, un-brushed red hair that fell just above his ears and down a bit to the nape of his neck and bright but lazy green eyes, glanced to his annoyed blonde haired friend who flicked a lock of his shoulder length hair out of his face, his steal blue eyes glaring daggers at Matt. "...yeah?"

"What the hell? What do you mean what?"

Matt shrugged. "Why don't you tell me what I've done wrong, Mello, so that I can get back to my game."

Mello closed his eye, letting out a sigh of annoyance as he looked down at the messy floor. "Look at my room; it's covered in trash, and clothes...and homework!"

Matt glanced down and frowned, "Whose is that?"

"...YOURS!"

Matt blanched and saved his game, quickly closing it and placing it on the bed so that he could clean up his, or...Mello's...room.

"Crap, Matt. You act like you were raised in a pigs pin! Pick up you paperwork and get started on it. It's all do tomorrow, and you haven't even started yet."

"Damn! I get it Mel, back off! It won't take me but a couple hours to get it all done anyways, so what's your problem?"

Mello turned away sharply, his hair fanning around his shoulders as a frown formed on his lips. "Nothing,"

Matt paused in his picking up his clothes and looked analytically at Mello for a moment, finally...a small smirk appeared on his lips and he tossed the clothes in the white hamper so that he could take it out and drop it down the laundry shoot later. "You and Near got into it again...huh,"

"Shut up!"

Sitting back down on Mello's bed, he grinned, "Yep, yesterday the scores were posted for our most recent exam,"

"It had nothing to do with the exam scores!"

"Then tell me, what has Near done that has you so riled up?"

"...I over heard Roger telling Near that if he kept up the good work, he might be able to work with L on the case he's currently interested in. That of course, is if he can't figure it out."

"So what are you worried about? L always figured them out, he'll have it solved before the end of the week. Near won't get to help him."

"...true..."

~BEEP~

Matt turned his eyes to his laptop which he'd been on only moments before Mello had come in demanding he clean up his mess. A message box appeared, and on it, it said: An attempt has been made to accessing your files, would you like to allow access? Yes No

"Uh...no..." He clicked the 'no' and sighed irritably, "Looks like I'll have to go through and upgrade the firewall I have around my data."

He tried to move his mouse, but his screen was frozen. A couple of seconds later, his mouse began moving, a word document popped up and in that moment, Matt had to hold himself up from fear of weak legs causing him to topple forward.

Hi there, my name is W0v3n_Bam6o0, you may call me whatever you wish though. I'm sorry that you own this server, for normally, I wouldn't bother with a little boys information, but your intricate security had me only to curious, Matt. Or I could call you by the name given in those files I am looking at, Mail? Anyways, small talk is lame, so I'll get to the point. I'll give you your data files back if you can provide me with a greater challenge than any other I've ever had. In other words...I can't be able to get in...

...you've got one week...and I'll be back...

Until then, Matt.

With that, the screen turned black as the power was shut off throughout the entire Wammy's Orphanage.

"...shit."

Mello looked over to Matt who was more pale than usual. "What's wrong?"

"...I just got hacked..."

It was quiet for a moment before Mello broke out into a fit of laughter. "You...Mr. I'm-the-best-hacker-in-this-orphanage, got hacked!"

"Yeah, I got hacked! It's not funny either! This person took my files on Wammy!"

"So they know about the orphanage, so what?" Mello sat next to Matt who was logging frantically back onto his laptop.

"No, not the orphanage. My Wammy files were all about us! You, Near, myself, Linda...US! Roger, L, Watari...we who reside in the orphanage, the genii..." He pulled up his documents where a few files with little locks on the files were. Clicking on one, he typed in a password when an Access bar popped up and a couple of files popped open.

"...Successors..." Mello's eyes widened as he took in the three pictures in the files. They were clearly taken with Matt's Nintendo DS, but still...someone out there knew all about them. "How did you get this?" He pointed to his file, a list of likes and dislikes beneath his picture, a profile, as well as a small Bio.

"I'm your best friend, like I wouldn't know most of this, as for the rest, I hacked Wammy's a while back."

"You hacked Wammy's?"

"Bigger problem here Mel! I was hacked!"

"...well...what are you going to do?"

"...follow..."

Mello frowned, he hated not knowing what someone was talking about, and that happened a lot when Matt started talking. "Follow what?"

"Every hacker leaves a trail...and encryption, something that hides all traces that they were there. I find that, I find them..."

"So, this guy is a better hacker...clearly...what if you can't find a trail?"

Matt smirked, "This guy hacked me...that doesn't mean he's a better hacker. I had my protection set above that of Wammy's, I didn't set for anything else, because I didn't think anyone else would try to hack me. Now that I know this cocky ass will return in a week, I'll make sure he get's in...and can't get out..."

(One Week Later)

-x-x-x-

Matt was sitting down on his bed, watching his laptop as if it might disappear if he were to look away. Which, in his defense, was quite possible; he had spent the last seven days doing nothing but working on his Laptops security. Had it not been for the fact that he truly wanted to beat the crap out of the asshole who'd hacked his laptop in the first place, Matt thought that he would have conked out long ago.

He refused to attend classes, so a pile of paperwork had begun to take refuge on Mello's desk, since that is where Matt was most of the time.

"Hey, you know...if you miss class too much, you'll be replaced by Linda."

"You know I could care less about my place on the Score Board. I only stay number three because of you."

Matt said with all honesty, not looking up from his screen. He felt the bed dip and a head res on his shoulder, blonde hair briefly brushed against his neck.

The clock on his screen turned 12:00 and in mere seconds of the change of time, an alert popped up onto his screen informing him of an intruder. Matt went to typing away on his laptop and in curiosity, Mello moved a little to the side to get a better look at the red head at work. A black window popped up and he started typing in numerals and letters, symbols and all sorts of junk that Mello didn't understand. It was whole other language, and Mello was clearly from a whole other world.

"...come on..." Matt muttered in annoyance. Finally, finding the IP address he'd been searching for while his friend was playing hacker on his laptop, he went about reversing the roles and stealing back his information. It had taken only a minute or so for him to get it back, but for some reason, he'd expected more of a fight.

He got it.

In the form of a BIG...BLUE...SCREEN.

"...no..."

Mello frowned at the screen, an ugly color in his mind, in fact, he found himself getting upset just looking at it. More than that, he found that he actually hated this screen, more than Near. "Get rid of it," Mello pointed at the blue screen.

"I can't, it's basically a 'blue screen of death'; it completely wipes my hard drive of any and all data on it." He sighed, "It's her way of saying, 'you lost'." He pressed down on the power button and held it in until the screen went black. He didn't even bother turning the laptop back on, knowing fool well that anything he had once had on the laptop, would be gone.

Pulling out his Nintendo DS, he fell backwards on his bed and let life pass him by as he got lost in the world of Heracles.

Me: So, this is the first chapter of Wired on Hacking. I hope you enjoy! It is a little shorter than my other stories, but that's because I copied and pasted part of it to another doc for another chapter, which made it shorter. I decided I didn't like it in this chapter. Hope you guys enjoyed, read and review, kay! JA NAI~!
