Contacts Part 2

This is the second part of the 'Contacts'.

There was two new windows on the panel when Dean returned from the bath. They alerted him about the police raiding at the nightclub where Jason worked and suspicious transaction record from his account. Normally he would just ignore the alert, but not today. He stared at the bill and found the listing items he had paid for but didn't buy and he concluded at the moment that someone was stealing his credits, someone was ripping him off, someone with skills.

He triple checked his transaction records and came up with two more unidentified purchases of electronics. The payment was authorized by himself as the system showed, but he didn't remember doing such thing, nor did he received any electronic. With some digging, it turned out the shipping address was a black market resale warehouse where people traded stolen properties to other interested parties, there was not a chance he could find out who did this to him, not if he had connection inside the market. The date and time of the billings was seconds after he paid a worker, maybe someone had penetrated his network and gained access to his outgoing connection packets and made use of the digital footprint to forge the authorization, or it could be someone inside the credit company that stole his money. Either way, someone was watching his every move. Determined, Dean shut down the connection to detain further information leakage. He had to move away to some place safe tonight, and he happened to know a place that he could stay.

That night he went out to a remote location - an abandoned old sewage pipe entrance under the bridge, to monitor the kill of Joseph Stevenson in a portable rig. The weather was chilling outside, beside wearing a decent and clean down jacket and trouser, he also brought an extra warming gloves with him to keep his hands from frozen. He went inside the stinky pipe and found a spot to lean against the rusty surface, and set up his equipment in a comfortable position. The time at 12:40 AM Midnight. 

After successfully established a secure connection to a video feed near Joseph Stevenson's apartment, Dean waited for KPJ to took action while monitoring his credit account's activity. At exactly 12:45 AM, a shadow executed Joseph Stevenson with a glowing dark green laser blade in a clean cut which decapitated him and left his blood pumping onto the wall. In the darkness another light source appeared, once again Dean scanned the display and wired the credits to KPJ's account. This time he kept an eye on the credit balance and transaction records but nothing transferred except his own authorized payment. Dean grinned at his account balance one last time and packed his thing to move back home. Maybe there really was someone accessing his network at where he lived, or there's a slight chance that the person working at the credit company who stole his assets was off the clock.
