"No way. I run a virus scan on    
everything I download," my Arch said   
from the front seat, recovering faster 
than when I first saw the Cat, but not 
by much.                               
     "Those things are pretty much     
worthless, and you know it, especially 
when someone knows what they're doing. 
You'll see why the virus scanner didn't
catch it, when you see how simple the  
code is."                              
     "What does it do?" my Arch asked  
after crawling over the front seat to  
sit on the floor in front of the Cat,  
enthralled in what she was learning.   
     "It allows me access to your      
computer. You might find that handy    
sometimes. Oh, and guys," the Cat said 
to the rest of us, "you should read    
some of the stuff she writes about you,
* especially you Criminal."                
     "You wouldn't?"                   
     "Your secrets are safe with me    
little girl. Remember, I like you, for 
now anyway."                           
     "Cool," my Arch said dubiously    
from the floor, then brightened up.    
"Can't wait to check it out."          
     The Cat turned to me, "She'll do  
Criminal, now about these others,      
Darryl, Pee Wee and Mouse, I believe.  
Am I right? I can guess which one of   
you is Pee Wee."                       
     Pee Wee first tried turning but   
found that he could see better with the
rear-view mirror.
