It Could Happen…
D.C.
When driverless cars were first rolled out they were applauded for their safety and convenience. Since phones have become secure with such installed apps as fingerprint recognition and an automatic kill switch pre-installed as the standard. Controlling the car with your phone was an added bonus and a selling point for most buyers.
It created a subculture movement of people posting online videos of themselves calling their cars to certain addresses. The most moving was the Marriage Proposal, with over a million views in it’s first month.
Lately however this joy has turned into sheer horror as new revelations are made into the car jacking cases nationwide.
“At first we thought the killings were random and non-related.” Detective Orson stated. “New evidence shows the cars were hacked using encrypted software. The doors are locked with this program and the car is driven to a preset location. When the victim arrives at the location, normally desolated or isolated and out of town, the perpetrator is there waiting for them. After they are murdered the car is again locked and driven to a different location, to be discovered.”
But not all the killings are the same. Some of the killings have the tell tale signs of mob hits, and crimes of passion. Dead wives and mistresses delivered to offices or clubs have already been happening in two major cities in the past three years. The most famous being Delvia Mortees who killed her husband’s lover then sent the car to the motel where the two met for their afternoon affairs. However these cases did not involve hacking software, so the police remained unaware that such a thing existed.
The revelation of this new software may also shed light on the recent explosion of kidnappings in the country. Unable to piece together how people were being taken in seemingly secure locations about town baffled police. Perhaps now they will find a way to combat this terrible influx of crime.
Kidnapping has been on the rise since the collapse of the American dollar in 2020.
