Young Writers Society

Katy Mackle dyed her hair bright purple in eighth grade so people would stop teasing her about how normal she was.

She grew up in a standard white suburban family—a mom and a dad, an annoying little brother, and a hyperactive Golden Retriever named Max. She's always been average height and weight for her age, and that hasn't changed now that she's in her early twenties and working the counter at a small-town coffee shop. Ever since she dyed her hair the first time, she hasn't really stopped; while it's grown out sandy brown now, she still keeps a streak dyed blue, or green, or pink.

When she was fourteen, she tried her hand at writing poetry, but she didn't really get far. When she was sixteen, she thought she'd be the next pop sensation. When she was eighteen, she was determined to start an entrepreneurial business of her own.

When she was twenty, she figured out that the major advances of the world are rarely made by people named Katy Mackle. She shrugged it off and kept moving, and now she's just trying to live her life and enjoy it to the fullest; as soon as she has enough in savings, she's going to take a road trip across the USA with her best friend and leave everything behind.

Katy Mackle's life has no destination. She's never needed one.

Next name: Netta van Leeuwen

The first time she died her hair, she pierced her bottom lip, too. Mother and Father were scandalized, not that they could stop her, and Jonathan never would. He got her, whether he liked it or not. College barely contains her, but she doesn't have anywhere else to go. A sixteen year old girl left alone in the world? No way.

Going by the name of Jer1Cho7xa (named after the city that Joshua destroyed in the Bible), Joshua works for a crew of hackers known as Exodus. Their operations headquarters are located in an abandoned parking garage looking out over Central Park.

With Exodus, Joshua and his childhood friend Liam (aka M0xesUB8) have planned and executed multiple heists or just plain robberies with ease, and they have earned the respect of the rest of their crew.

Their leader, simply known as Noah, was a former American FBI agent, and decided to fight a war against them by hacking, stealing, and exposing lies and secrets in every sector of society. He seems nice, until you realize that he makes you disappear in Central Park if you disobey his sometimes psychopathic orders.

Little does Joshua know that his wife is actually FBI, and was tasked to bring down Exodus (she also doesn't know that he is a member of Exodus. This leads to some interesting twists.

Two days ago, Noah ordered the team to take on a big tycoon of a textile company, but somehow the FBI also found out. Is there a mole? And who is it?
