Chapter two.

I sat up in my chair suddenly and slowly eyes adjusted. What the hell was that? Was I disconnected? My heart pounded in my chest.

She'd told me it would happen, but somehow I didn't really believe her.

I placed my hand over the -on- sensor.

Nothing...

It didn't power on.

Why did I install the program?

I mean for all I know it could be, some, sub program with a backdoor.

If that was the case, she could be spying in me. I placed my hand on my desk and the surface lit the password prompt came up.

(Should I connect the neuro-link to my pc?) I wondered.

001 had warned me that I shouldn't, but could I trust her? And if I did what would come of it?

(It'll come back online the next day) she had said earlier.

If I wait... What would happen?

After a few minutes the display went back to default, the wooden image of the desktop.

I sighed.

All for the sake of testing out a program...

Material high... I guess it'll be the same time tommorow.

I removed the neuro-link and placed it on the desk.

I dove onto my bed screamed into my pillow. -I doubt the frustration would allow me to fall asleep- is what I thought But soon after, I fell asleep.

And for the first time in ages, I dreamed.

I woke, night again...

And still half an hour short of 24 hours. The seconds passed in an unbearably slow manner, so slow in fact that I had to take a walk.

It was still a little early and people still navigated through the streets but I had to go, the tension was just too much.

It had been a while since I had seen people other than my own family but for some odd reasoning just didn't think much of it.

I wish I had thought it through....
