Viral text Fwd.

[makethemguilty]

[Hmph. Forwards the text back to her. See what horrible virus lies you're spreading? >8| ]

... Well played, Dad. B|

[Second hurtful text message received from father in past 24 hours: check.]

Is this that virus again?

[Suck it up. He didn't teach you to wail and cry like a juvenile.]

It's what you sent to me. Proof that your device has been infected.

[whippings]

[Well, good for you, because she's not crying.]

I'm in the process of acquiring a more effective anti-virus.

[As soon as she sends the text she wonders if she shouldn't have; what need does she have to prove herself to the likes of him any more?]

[makethemguilty]

[He wouldn't settle for anything less than a perfect security himself, hence he had by now obtained a program that would destroy the virus that had sought to embarrass him.]
