Send me what you find.
I put my head in my hands, eyes strained from staring at the screen. A British spy, contacting me, to hack the Carlens? The craziest part about it was the fact that I was going along with it. I plugged in my VPN, which was illegal, but at this point I couldn't really get myself into more trouble. Soon I found the IP of a government computer, and I began to hack into it, heart
