Character Profile: Zoey Walker (2)

They didn't need the things that they stole; they just enjoyed the thrill of stealing them. The Hacker gang liked to stalk out 24 hour stores, usually Mom and Pop stores.

"No security in those non-corporate types," remarked Circuit-Breker. Zoey had a big crush on him and his long dark hair. His slight Asian features were covered with a 5 O' Clock shadow, while his eyes were usually hidden in shadows. Zoey was at first invited to join the Hacker gang becuase of her usual mischief at school, but they soon found out that she was one of the best hackers at her school.

You see, with the amount of time Zoey spent at the arcades, she soon became interested in how they worked. She would stay after hours to help fix broken machines from the random gang fights. It was only a matter of time before she learned about computers. All this did not ease the burden of her Grandmother, who worried about Zoey staying out so late in the dangerous City Zone.

Soon, Zoey's abilities became obvious to all of the regulars at the arcades. Her hacking of "Spark Fire: Legend of Mountain Gold" became legendary, as her virtual character beat the near-impossible Level Boss Torvus Tik-Tik. This is what made her priceless among the Hacker gang.

So, the Hacker gang reigned as their spree of petty crime continued throughout the city. Zoey enjoyed feeling useful and the attention the Hacer gang gave her, but deep down she knew what she did was wrong. But she tried to ignore that quiet voice, because she was having too much fun with her "friends."

Circuit-Breker soon gave Zoey her own Hacker name: Binary.
