I was eyeballs deep in coding.

Hey Pete, u there?

Yup. Watching politicians on TV fight at the UN.

Owen
I got a job for you.
Pete

Does it involve hacking?

Absolutely.

Good. I’m in… Who’s the target?
Owen

Tanya. She just dumped me.

Pure revenge.

I’ll send you some profiles.

Make sure they are the only ones she sees on her dating apps.

Pete
She’s dating already?
Owen
Owen
She works fast. But I work faster.
Owen
Owen
I’m also sending you a code I just finished.
Owen
Owen
I want it to run in the background of her date apps.
Owen
Owen
The first profile she swipes-right on - she will fall in love with.
Pete
Pete
wtf?
Owen
Owen
It’s a powerful hypnotic - uses subliminal images and sub-audible commands - plus neurofeedack...
Owen
Owen
I call it: The Love Bot.
Owen
Owen
She won’t be able to resist.
Pete
Pete
Who are these profiles of?
Owen
Owen
Drag queens.
Pete
Pete
Sweet - wicked sweet...
Owen
Owen
Love is blind.
Pete
Pete
I don’t do love. It’s like losing 100 IQ points.
Pete
Pete
I’ll ping you when it’s ready.
the next day
Pete
Pete
Newsflash: I rock!
Owen
Owen

Whatsup, sis?

It’s Leo.
Pete
Pete
I thought he broke up with you.
Mia
Mia
He did. His father forced him to take a job overseas.
Pete
Pete
Can’t you go with?
Mia
Mia
No. His father hates me. It’s a gov’t job & he’s put me on the no-fly list.
Pete
Pete
So… move on?

Mia
Never. I can’t get over Leo - and I don’t want to. What am I going to do?

Do you have a recent photo of yourself?

Leo?

Yes, he quit his job and he’s staying here! Thanks so much!

Glad I could help.

But he seems changed. Now he always wants to be with me.

I like it - a lot… But I see how it could get annoying…
Pete
Pete
It’s what you wanted, isn’t it?
Mia
Mia
I guess.
Pete
Pete
Make the most of it… You know it ain’t for me…

Pete
Forwarded message From: Rodney Pellicano (aka Ms Butter Cups) To: Tayna
Pete
Pete
"Dear Ms. Tayna Taylor, This is a CEASE AND DESIST ORDER."
Pete
Pete
"It is to inform you that your harassing and intimidating actions against me have become unbearable."
Pete
Pete
"This letter is to demand that your harassment and intimidation must CEASE AND DESIST immediately."
Owen
Owen
wtf did she do, Pete?
Pete
Pete
She shadows him everywhere, shouts out her love to him all day
Pete
Pete
And at night, she hides in his hallway and slips hot photos of herself under his door - real hot & real explicit
Owen
Owen
You’re kidding!
Pete
Pete
No. Wanna see?
Owen
Owen
HEY! That’s my gf!!!
Pete
Pete
EX-gf - remember?
Owen
Owen
I’m not feeling so good about this any more.
Pete
Pete
Do you have an undo function I can insert in the bot?
Owen
Owen
No - it doesn’t exist.
Pete
Pete
That’s why I don’t do love.
a few hours later
Mia
Mia
Pete, you got to help get Leo off me!
Pete
Pete
Sorry, sis. I’ve been working non-stop, but love is one thing I can’t un-hack.
Mia
Mia
Then you better get me a new identity before I go psycho on him!
Pete
Pete
Mia, do you have a recent photo of Leo?
Mia
Mia
?
Pete
Pete
The only way to fix this is to make you love him -
Pete
Pete
- the same amount he loves you. You up for it?
Mia
Mia
Fuck, yes!
the next day
Owen
Owen
Okay, Pete, I’m ready.
Pete
Pete
You sure?

It’s the only way. Now that you sent Tanya my photo with The Love Bot, I wanna be in sync with her.

Pete
Okay… the next message you receive will be her. Live long and love hard!
