Park Bench People,

find a tree to shelter yourself from stormy weather

There is a young girl who sits on a park bench every day. People walk by paying her no attention. She is homeless and that park bench is her shelter from the rain. Despite having no money, shelter or food, she has a laptop that a stranger had given her years ago. With it she sets up fake websites for online shopping and contests. Through this, she is able to hack into people’s computers to steal their identities, find out where they live and gain their possessions. Many people became familiar with these scams and she tries a different approach. She improves her computer skills.

  Now, she is able to hack into operation systems of planes, trains and ships. Easier to access trains and planes, she sends them on courses that lead them to random places where she waits for them and steals their goods. Using the goods she obtains she sells them online for big bucks.

  Apollo sets up an online profile on one of the fake sites and uses it to track this hacker. Infecting his own computer, Apollo is able to plant a Trojan in the hacker’s computer and tracks the hacker’s movements as he waits for his items to arrive. They see that this person is in the city and on the move constantly but is always at the park at night. Apollo disguises himself as a homeless person and wanders around the park looking for the hacker. He moves from the playground, to the fountain, to the pond and to every bench. He comes across a girl sitting on the bench under a weeping willow tree with a laptop. She wears baggy clothes and hood is pulled over her face. He approaches her and accuses her of being the “Bad B***h Hacker”.

  She leads him on a chase around the park only to be cornered by Kenjin, Carmyne and Apollo eventually. The hacker is a girl named Lorelei Adina Battista. Apollo recognizes the girl but last time he saw her she was much younger. They want to take her in but Apollo insists that he talks to her first, in private. He tries to get more information out of her knowing she isn’t working alone. She admits and says that the “Park Bench People” have grown in numbers and are in every city, every town and every country. No one knows each other’s identity but they help each other financially. Most of the followers are those that have a loved one in jail they want to bail out, have substantial debt or need money for medical reason. Lorelei however is none of those people; she just likes making the wealth’s lives miserable.
