"Mr. Whatever-You-All-Want-To-Call-Him is working out of town. I was going to call you and ask if maybe I could—" "If you could shack up with Mr. Sex Appeal himself?" "So now we all have code names?” “You’re the one living in a spy movie. I want some of the action.” “Okay, so Mr. Sex Appeal? You’re saying that Cy will be back? That's his code name, right?" I asked with a grin. "Oh, little cousin, that hurts. I was referring to me." "How about I just call you Pat? We can say it's short for Mr. Sex Appeal."

Amelia was buying roasted sweet potatoes, scanning the QR code before handing them to Grandma Victoria. "It’s possible. After all, the world is full of strange things." "Then who do you think it was?" Grandma Victoria’s question was sharp. Amelia smiled, her lips curling. "I think it was ‘L’." "L?" Grandma Victoria was confused. "You mean the letter?" Amelia patiently explained, "It’s a code name. Every hacker has a nickname online to protect their identity in real life."

—the hackers and information leeches who lived in the cracks of London's financial district. Alessandro walked into a small, windowless room filled with the smell of ozone and burnt coffee. Sitting at a desk piled high with vintage hardware was a woman known only as **The Glitch**. She was barely twenty, her hair a shock of electric blue, her eyes never leaving a glowing terminal. "Alessandro De Luca," she said without turning around. "The man who broke the internet. You’re the most expensive person in my database right now." "Then you know why I’m here," Alessandro said, placing the tablet on the desk.

There were two more men with him who looked equally fierce and imposing. The moment he paid for me, he took his jacket out and gave it to me to wear it. "I am Beta Aric," he said in a startlingly soft voice. In fact, too softly for his personality. And what was with their unusual names of Alpha and Beta. Were there any Gammas too? He introduced his men, "And these two are our warriors, Gamma Lupin and Gamma Bane." I think I flipped, mentally. I didn't know where they were taking me. Perhaps it was some kind of an organization where people were named by hierarchies.

“So, do I have power? Do robots made by Zuno and Klayton have super powers? Maybe all robots made by Zuno have powers. So well, my power is teleportation? Hmm? I continued robbing banks, and after 5 years, I have my mansion, cars, etc and now, I want to have a name. I became wanted so I want a name and to change my physical appearance. I searched for some Korean names, and I found “Kim Jong.” But no, I prefer an English one. “Kim Kaizer” I like it and yes, that’s it! I smirked again.

Serenity said, looking at the two men. "I was thinking 'Neo'," Alex suggested. "Like 'The Matrix'." "No," Jackson vetoed immediately. "He is not a computer program. He needs a name with weight." "Julian," Cassandra said softly. "Julian Neo Sterling." "Julian," Jackson tested the name. "Strong. Classic." He looked at the baby. "And 'Neo' can be his hacker alias." Little Julian yawned, seemingly bored by the discussion. "Well, Julian," Jackson walked to the window, showing the baby the sprawling skyline of New York City below.

the host says, “DMG. Not DMZ. What does it mean?” The host has just made a dad joke about the DMZ, as in the demilitarized zone between South and North Korea. “DMG,” Nathan explains, “stands for Dreamlike Misty Gray.” “Dreamlike Misty Gray. Oh wow. Sounds very poetic. As leader, did you come up with this name, Cyber?” “Yes, I did.” “Could you tell us why you chose this name for the group?” “Well, actually, it has something to do with my late hyung Shadow.”

"bumblebee" Nick's words hit Fuoco like a sailor being hit by the biggest wave after he was sure that the strom was over. Her eyes grew large and she immediately focused her gaze of Nick who was smirking at her. She tried to cover up her expressions by acting as if she heard something she wasn't aware about but she knew Nick had already seen through her. So, She had to admit that she was "Bumblebee" the famous hacker of the dark web world.

Only Isla Vale remained. I set up my laptop on the tiny kitchen table and got to work. I'd been doing freelance coding for months under anonymous handles. Small jobs. Website design. Database management. Bug fixes. Nothing fancy. But I was good. Better than good. And word had spread in the underground tech communities. The mysterious coder who could fix anything. Fast. Efficient. Brilliant. They called me "Phantom" because I never showed my face. Never gave my real name. Just did the work and disappeared.
