I can still see her face. Lily, my baby girl, just sitting across from me at the kitchen table like everything was normal. But it wasn't. Not even close. That moment is carved into my brain like some goddamn horror film that won't stop replaying. Two days ago, she sat there shaking, tears fighting their way out of her eyes. And Lily's not the kind to cry. She's always been a tough one, independent, stubborn as hell.

But that night, she looked so small, so broken. And when she told me what happened at the party, something inside me snapped. She said it started off normal. Some welcome back party with new college friends. But the way her voice cracked when she talked about how it all went wrong, it hit me harder than anything in my life ever has. She didn't say his name. Didn't need to.

I saw it in her eyes. Someone took something from her, something that I can never give back. And now, I was going to find the bastard who did it. See, I ain't new to the dark side of the internet. Used to be a black hat hacker back in the day. The real deal. Breaking firewalls, slipping through networks like a ghost, leaving chaos in my wake. I didn't have rules.

No bosses. Just me, the screen, and the thrill. Then Uncle Sam came knocking. They offered me a deal, use my skills for them, keep my ass out of prison. So now I work legit, mostly. But those old skills, they never left me. They're part of me, like muscle memory. And tonight?

They were my weapon. I was in my office, lit only by the soft glow of my monitors. My fingers flew across the keyboard, dancing through lines of code. like an old lover. One screen showed my government job, the stuff that pays the bills. The other? That one was all mine. My real mission. Finding the piece of shit who hurt Lily. I couldn't stop hearing her voice, that hesitation, the pain. It haunted me. Every keystroke, every mouse click, was for her. Universities are dumb when it comes to cybersecurity. Students live their whole lives online and don't even think twice about what they post.

Snapchats, Insta reels, Twitter threads, Discord chats, all of it out there, just waiting to be uncovered. And I was the one doing the uncovering. I followed digital breadcrumbs through a maze of trash, pixelated lies, and digital fingerprints. Hours passed. Maybe days. Sleep wasn't even in my vocabulary anymore. Then I found it. A private group chat full of frat bros who thought they were untouchable. Sick bastards, the lot of them. Sharing stories like war trophies. And one name kept popping up, Kyle Rivers.

Smud, entitled, A Walking Pile of Garbage. The way he typed made my skin crawl. Bragging, laughing, treating women like they were props in his sad little ego trip. And then I saw it. A message about a party. The party The one Lily went to He even joked about slipping something in someone's drink

Like it was a damn joke Like it was nothing My heart nearly exploded in my chest I gripped the armrests of my chair so hard I thought I'd snap them off It was him I didn't need a confession The bastard practically signed it Kyle

Fucking Rivers Now I had a name. But that wasn't enough. I wanted to know everything. Where he lived, who he talked to, what he did every goddamn minute of the day. So I cracked into his accounts. Easy.

The dude used the same password for everything. Rookie mistake. I had his class schedule, his bank info, his Amazon orders. I knew he drank black coffee and used old spice. I knew he was seeing some blonde named Emma, who had no idea what kind of man she was kissing. And I knew exactly where he lived. I thought about just going there, walking right up to his door and ending it. One shot.

Boom. Over. But that's not who I am anymore. I left that world behind. I'm not a thug. I'm not a murderer. I had to be smarter than that. Precise.

Calculated. So I logged out of my government systems. This was personal now. I opened up an old machine, one I hadn't touched in years. It wasn't connected to anything official. Just my own private sandbox. A place where I did things I never told anyone about. A place I swore I'd never go back to.

But for Lily? I'd burn the whole goddamn world down. I dove into the dark web, hunting through old contacts, whispers, and networks that would make the FBI sweat bullets. Looking for the kind of help you don't put in a resume. Meanwhile, Kyle was out there smiling for selfies, posting Jim Picks, acting like he owned the world. That smug face. God, I wanted to wipe it clean. I started laying traps.

Digital ones. I spoofed his IP. sent out emails from his account. Leaked info to make it look like he was into some real sick shit. Not enough to get him arrested. Not yet. Just enough to ruin his perfect little image. I watched his social media implode in real time.

Friends dropping him. Sponsors backing out. His girlfriend? Ghosted. Fast. But it still wasn't enough. I found his parents' address. His high school yearbook.

His Reddit handle from when he was 15. All of it. Every piece of data I could dig up, I used it. Rew wrote his online identity. Made it look like he was part of things you don't come back from. Dark stuff. Got some of my old hacker crew to help me build a dossier. Sent it anonymously to his college.

To some employers. To the cops. The walls were closing in on him. Then one night, I watched him post some cryptic message. Just a black screen with the words, I didn't mean to. No likes. No comments. Just silence. And it stayed up for hours. That night, I sat in the dark, a whiskey in hand, staring at his profile. I didn't feel proud. Didn't feel like a hero. I just felt hollow. Empty. I thought of Lily again. Her laugh when she was little. The way she used to run to me when she got scared of thunder. And now, she couldn't sleep without locking every door twice.

That bastard took more than just her safety. He took her peace. Her trust. And I wasn't done. The next phase was physical. I started shadowing Kyle. didn't let him see me just watched took photos documented everything his routine was boring gym class burrito place home repeat i wanted him to feel the eyes on him to know he wasn't safe to know someone was out there waiting i left him notes one on his car windshield

Do you remember her face? One in his locker, she trusted you. And one taped to his apartment door, you're not alone. It broke him. I saw it. He started looking over his shoulder, twitching in class. Missed two midterms. The guy was unraveling.

And still, I didn't stop. You might think I went too far. Maybe I did. But tell me, what would you do if it was your day? daughter. Then came the final move. I compiled everything. All the chat logs, the screenshots, the files, the videos of him bragging, of the aftermath. I wrapped it up in a neat little package and sent it to the police. Anonymously. Of course. I don't know if they'll ever arrest him. Maybe. Maybe not. But one thing's for sure. Kyle Rivers will never sleep the same again.

He'll never look at a crowd without wondering if someone's watching. He'll never smile without wondering when it all comes crashing down. And as for me, I sit back in my chair, watching the world burn from my keyboard. I know this isn't over. Not really. Nothing ever is. But I'll be ready. Because justice doesn't come with a badge.

Sometimes, it comes with code and caffeine and a father who refuse. refuses to let evil win. I take one last look at Kyle's shattered profile, then close the tab. My heart is still racing, but my hands are steady. I whisper under my breath, to no one but the ghosts in my office. I'll smile in my mugshot. Here I come, Kyle. To be continued.
