The Geek & The Ghost - 17

This story is based on some true events, however it has been fictionalized and all persons appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.


"Oh no...not again"
DJ's irritation was so radioactive .that even a lizard nearby would have become Mozilla..err...Godzilla. He ran the network troubleshooting wizard again, but it was still showing no internet access.
"Troubleshooting wizard could not identify any problems"
DJ suddenly in his imagination became Quick Gun Murugan wearing yellow coat and green trousers with fringes & a cowboy hat. He could see modems branded "Trouble” hanging on wires in a distance .He took out both his revolvers and started shooting them A la' matrix time slice. After the first round, he blew the smoke from the guns and said
"Ennada Rascalas, I am the ultimate Trouble Shooter.... Nan nenacha...."
His dialogue was interrupted ..........DG Calling...........
DJ decided to cut the scene short and simply said "Mind It" and picked up the call

DJ: hmm
DG: oye where are u?
DJ: room only where else I will be
DG: doing wat?
DJ didn’t want to share his creative adventures so.....
DJ: nothing much
DG: come online na

DJ:"done that already"
DG: u using wi fi or lan?

DJ: "hello madam,you think i havent tried that yet?" He lied

DG: "I was just checking yaar"
DJ: "hmm ok..i think the problem is not with the connection"
DG: "oh..k"
DJ gingerly took the lan cable and connected to the laptop....local area connection is now connected...internet access
DJ: "Listen net has come"
DG: "really?? how?"
DJ didnt want to admit she solved the problem
DJ: "Some dumb guy named WA11103 has got unsecured wifi"
DG: "what??"

*****************************************
In The SYSTEM......
"Are u seeing this??"
OD2 who was looking the logs of the recent chat stood up from his chair and screamed at OD1...
OD1 : relax, take your seat
OD1 was clutching a large roll of printouts with a red marker in hand and green marker tucked behind his right ear.OD2 couldnt relax..he was fidgetting more than usual
OD2: how can u be so calm?
OD1: relax ... chill out...
OD2 : should we pull the plug??
OD1 gave him a horrified look and screamed
"what the hell for?"
OD2: cmon he shouldnt be able to knw abt this ,let alone he sharing it with others
OD1: oh cmon now...he doesn't knowanything yet.... he is just imagining things on his own...plus many of them down there have a vague idea as to how things are up here so even if gets to know that there is a possibility its not a big deal..he wont do anything abt it
OD2: what if he does something drastic
OD1: he cannot do anything drastic that will jeopardize THE SYSTEM...he is not that powerful
OD2: what if he does..at least tries??
OD1: Then we pull the goddamn plug
OD2 became silent..he looked pacified.After a few seconds he smiled.he smile grew into a grin and eventually he chuckled
OD1: something funny?
OD2 started laughing now
OD1: wat??
OD2: u said GODdamn..hahahah
OD1: hmmm hehhee yeah...
He stared grinning and said
"thats really GODDAMN funny hahahahaa"
And they both laughed in unison
