Prologue Star Murray's fingers flew over the keyboard with such speed the system could hardly keep up with her. Codes, words, all of it was working as fast as the computer would go to keep up with what she was keying in to hack the E.I. Corporation. Her system was flawless. Monitors were in a U shape around her, at least twenty with a different program running on each one with a keyboard linked to each, and one special flabby keyboard that she took wherever she went. She was an elite hacker, in hiding, and damn proud of it. She hid out in an old warehouse building she'd converted to her home, and with the money her 'uncle' gave her, was able to do whatever her little heart desired, but for a price. She could have every system that was out there, and the run of the whole building, if she only let him have a small part of the basement for his experiments. She agreed easily, and together, they'd built a home that was a first for her. Her mother went through several men after the death of her first husband, who was not her father. A pity because, what she knew of the man, she would have loved to have him as a father. So the one father figure she had, who she called uncle with no problem, treated her like a daughter, and she watched the beauty of his mind create something that she never would have thought possible. A human body. As she sat with her computers around her, working on her hack and getting the data she needed for him, she glanced over at the cooling chamber. All the monitors showed the life in the body, but without the spirit or soul. Standing, he would be about five-eleven, his hazel-brown hair touching his shoulders, and when his eyes were open, they were greenish-blue. Her uncle had told her that this was not the first one but the second. To tell them apart, he'd given them different color eyes as well as this one having a small brown patch next to his belly button--a birthmark. At first, she thought it was spooky to have a living body in the basement next to her computers, but after a while, she'd gotten used to it and started talking to it as if it were alive. When her uncle gave her the project she was working on now, everything finally started to fall into place. His name was Shilo, and he had what her uncle liked to call a twin named Seth. Star knew the whole story. Knew how Seth had broken out and was now free, hiding somewhere, and that one day, he would come knocking on her door for help. It was strange to think about it really, mostly because she didn't like people. They didn't understand her or her way of thinking and, most of the time, treated her like a freak. She didn't date. Gave up on the whole romance--there's someone out there for you crap--and focused all of her attention on her work. She didn't believe everyone had someone out there for them, but when she looked at the body for Shilo, she started to wonder a little. What was his lucky girl going to feel like once those strong arms of his wrapped around her? She shook her head and went back to typing the commands. There was no use thinking about things she couldn't have when there was shit she could have and do. "Damn it!" she yelled when her link up went down. "Not again." Are we playing this game again? She glared at the screen. Once more, she'd been booted out of a system with a program that was sure to get her in this time. How the hell did he keep kicking her out? You can't keep me out forever. I will get what I want, she typed back. You can keep trying, but I'm not going to let you in. She gritted her teeth in anger. Who the hell are you? Wouldn't you like to know? He was messing with her! The prick was fucking with her on the computer. You think you are fucking funny, don't you? Such language. Do you swear when you don't get your way? "I don't have time for this shit," she mumbled to herself. She worked to disconnect the link, only to discover she was no longer in control. What's wrong, Princess. Did the hacker get hacked? What the fuck did you do? Stop snooping, Princess, or you might just get more than you bargained for. She glared at the screen again. You don't scare me, dipshit. I can take you on whenever and wherever. LMAO...We shall see. Her whole system shut down right before her eyes. "How the fuck did he do that?" For weeks now as she was trying to hack into the system for her uncle that same hacker came on and blocked her. She didn't know who the guy was, but he sure was doing a fine job at pissing her off. She pushed away from the computer, stood up and stretched. The long, button-down shirt she seemed to live in it came down to the top of her legs. "You don't know who you're messing with." She spoke to the black computer screen. "I will get the information I'm after, one way or another." She turned and left to get some sleep since it was after three in the morning. Not once did she notice that her web cam was turned on or that she was being watched as she stopped in front of the glass window of the cooling chamber. She didn't see the smiley face show up on her screen or wink at her as she shut off the lights and left the room. Seth stopped his work on the computer when his phone started to buzz at three in the morning. He frowned as he thought about who could be contacting him now. Only three knew this number, and it was hard to imagine two of them being up this late. He picked up the phone from the desk, looked at the number. Unauthorized. He flipped it open, brought it to his ear, and said nothing. "It's begun," the voice said. He heard a click as the line went dead. Lowering the phone to the table, he looked up at nothing and grinned. Shilo was now on the path to freedom!
* * * * * * * *Chapter One Star Murray sat behind her desk of many computers, her fingers flying over the keys quickly with the codes and hacks that she was trying, yet again. For months now, she had been trying with no luck. Behind her, her guardian and mentor, Alex Saker, sat and waited. Star lived in the basement of a warehouse, owned by Dr. Saker. The top level was bare and looked like it had been abandoned; the lower half was made up of everything scientific, except for her living space. She only took up a small amount of space for a bed and dresser. She didn't need much, since she spent most of her time right were she was at the moment, in front of her computers. "Any luck?" Saker asked her. Star didn't move her eyes from the screen or stop her hands. "No. The program is good at keeping outside eyes out." Saker took a deep breath and stood up. "I should have asked Seth to help." Star stopped and turned in her chair. "I don't need him. I can get the information." Saker walked out of the computer room, heading over to the cooling chamber. He flipped the switch, lightening up what was within. A man sat in a chair in the middle of a glass-enclosed room. Thick muscled arms rested on the arms of the chair, head held up by a headrest. He was dressed only in a pair of tight biker shorts and his chest rose and fell with soft breathing. Shilo! He looked just like Seth, except for his eyes. Shilo had greenish-blue eyes and Seth had hazel. As an extra difference, Saker placed a birthmark on Shilo's stomach, a dark brown patch right under his belly button. "Our time has run out." Saker rubbed his eyes before turning to Star who had come up to stand next to him. "He has to be set free or they will shut him down." He reached out and touched her cheek. "You need Seth's help." Star moved her eyes from Saker to the body in the cooler. "I don't trust him." Skater chuckled, "You don't trust anyone." He turned back to the cooler. "But Seth you can trust. He wants Shilo out as much as we do." She snorted, "I don't trust Seth anymore than I trust that one in the fridge." She crossed her arms over her chest, glaring at the body. "My gut tells me popsicle is a whole lot more to handle than Seth." Star told Saker about the hacker that kicked her out of the program and kept breaking into her system, taunting her. When he went back to his lab to find out who might know about her, and blocking her, they were both shocked to discover that it was Shilo. Saker couldn't get him to explain why he was keeping Star out or why he was messing with her, but he did tell her that he suspected it was his programming. There was still a part of him loyal to the system and protecting its secrets. But it didn't stop him from picking on Star. What she didn't tell Saker was that Shilo kept hacking into her system, teasing her about her inexperience at computers and men. She discovered one night that he was turning her webcam on and watching her, pointing out that talking to a body and touching him when he couldn't touch back would get her into trouble. That had her yanking the cam from the outlet. She hated him watching her and talking to her and was so embarrassed over him catching her touching his body when she was drunk. It was creepy, just like the body in the cooler belonging to a damn computer chip. If Star got her way, Shilo would never get out. She had a suspicious feeling that if he did then Shilo would do everything he could to get even with her. She never told Saker about the little power play between her and Shilo. It had nothing to do with computers and hacking, but an attraction that was all one sided. His! Sure, his body might be hot, but his personality online sucked. The last time she got drunk was definitely the last time. She failed again to get into the system and went to the body, which she shouldn't have done. Shilo got into her system again and not only did he turn a cam on that she forgot about, but he also managed to get sound into the room. A computer voice spoke to her and she was able to talk back. She teased him about being a chip and never being a human. She went into the cooling chamber and touched his body, pointing out that he would not be touching her. Star also sat on his lap, smiling into the cam as she moved his arms around her body and wiggled her ass on his crotch. Then for extra affect, she turned and straddled his lap, rubbing against him like cat. Shilo didn't like that. And he made a point of telling her once he was free he would show her the right way his hands were going to touch her. Star only laughed at him and said she was going to bed. Before shutting things off, she added, alone and not with him. He didn't contact her for almost a week.
