Chapter 33; Hacking into The Other Side

Mackenzie, Felix, Jace, Joey, Melody, and Ella all sat at a table in the cafeteria.
"So, internecine code?" Jace asked Felix.
"Yep.. Somehow." Felix said, stirring the coffee he had in front of him.
"I think you can do it." Melody said, putting a hand on Felix's shoulder.
"Thanks." Felix said, not fully convinced himself.
"What's so hard about generating an internecine code?" Ella asked, confused.
"An internecine code is a series of ten numbers and ten letters, in a specific order. The algorithm method in other words. You need to put it together in a specific way. One mistake can blow up your entire computer system, so it has to be flawless. The codes have to spell out what you want to do. Then add a hacking code. That's an internecine code." Felix explains, leaving everyone even more confused then before.
"Well that sounds fun." Mackenzie said sarcastically.
"Very." Felix responds, sarcastically as well.
"So when are you planning to do this?" Joey asks, finally joining conversation.
"Sometime today." Felix responds.
"Why?" He asks, confused.
"Because the monitoring are there just about twenty- four seven. Except during dinner, which for them is at 10:00." Joey explains.
"How does that help?" Jace asks.
"Well, wouldn't you think it would be easier to hack their system, while the idiots watching for the codes are gone?" Joey asks back.
"I suppose." Jace says, finally agreeing on something Joey says.
"Joey, why are you helping us? I thought you were evil." Ella says to Joey with a laugh.
"Just be glad I am helping." Joey says, sounding bored.
Zoey then walks in, looking like she was crying.
"Hey Zoe.. Wanna join us?" Mackenzie asked her.
"Sure." Zoey said, taking a seat in between Ella and Joey.
"So what happened?" Melody asked her cautiously.
"I told Jordan he shouldn't always just treat me like a child because I am his sister." Zoey said.
"Then what happened?" Ella asked.
"He told me it wasn't because of that, then we got into this big fight and I ended up telling him that I wish he wasn't my brother.. And I left. I feel so bad for saying that now." Zoey said, looking at the table.
"It sucks doesn't it? Feeling like you're not good enough." Joey said to Zoey.
Zoey nodded her head slightly.
Everyone at the table exchanged awkward glances.
Zoey went and hugged Joey, who surprisingly didn't shove her away, just patted her shoulder slightly.
"What's happening to him?" Felix whispered to Jace.
"I have no idea." Jace whispered back.
"You guys do realize I can hear everything you're saying." Joey says to them a little annoyed.
Zoey pulls away from the hug and gets up.
"What kind of coffee is that?" She asks Ella.
"Carmel swirl." Ella responds.
"It smells really good, I think I'm going to get some." Zoey says, walking up to the counter.
"So what was that all about Joey? Thought you were evil" Jace said with a grin
"What the hell guys? Do you want me to be evil or something? Is that what you want? Because whenever I do something good you guys start sayings all that "I thought you were evil" bull crap" Joey said annoyed his eyes flashing a dark red
"Jeez sorry dude, it just surprises me that you would do that since you have no heart" Jace said in his defense
"Yeah, I wouldn't do it to any of you, but I would to Zoey, because she's my sister, and the only one I care about in this stupid 'camp'" Joey said getting up
"What about Jordan?" Jace asked standing up
"What about him? All he does is force feed me with a tube, escort me places like I'm a baby, not trust me, basically make mom and dad think he's way better than me and just make my life harder!" Joey yelled back, he started feeling tears burn in his eyes
Crap I can't cry in front of these losers he thought as he left the building before anyone could say anything else.
Everyone stared at the door Joey left through.
Zoey sat down with her coffee and gave Jace a dirty look.
"What?" He asked
"What did you say to him??" Zoey asked
"I just said that I thought he was evil and he just flipped" Jace said annoyed
"Don't say that to him! He's still confused, I think he was finally deciding on being good, unless you want him to be evil" Zoey said still giving Jace a mean look.

-meanwhile-

"I'm sorry but we can't do that" a voice on a phone said
"What do you mean you can't do it? Just bring a helicopter and pick me up! I'm sick of being trapped in this place! They're trying to turn me good! I'm not good I'm evil" Joey said
"We don't know exactly where their new location is" the voice said back
"Well... That could change" Joey said with an evil grin.
