THE SECRET JOURNAL OF NEIL PATEL #7

WARNING: NEIL TYPES TOO FAST TO CATCH TYPOS....

Entry #7

In my last entry I had to leave to deal with an alert. I’ve got all kinds. Surface level stuff like increased web activity, DNS attacks, phishing schemes, that sort of things. Alerts run the gamut. It’s only the most important ones that I drop every thing for. 
This was one of those. 
Someone’s digging into Daniel’s past. It happens from time to time. Usually it’s Cal or Jonas. I once found out about one of Gaucho’s long lost girlfriends who’d had a baby with another man (yeah, I found that out by digging into her barely protected work laptop). Anyways, whether it’s because Daniel’s more ghost than the rest of us or he just doesn’t have enemies like Cal, this is a first. 
The trail started in St. Louis. Military records. Not so uncommon. Happens more than you’d think. Especially for heroes like Daniel. 
But military records were only the beginning. 
I won’t go into the proprietary mix of tech I used to track this stuff (read: illegal) but suffice to say it works. It works well. 
Cell phone calls. Texts. Emails. 
Someone’s snooping on Daniel. I didn’t like it. 
So I took what I had to Daniel. To say he was unconcerned would be an understatement. 
His succinct response was, “It’s a free country, Neil.”
Not what I was expecting. 
Screw it. If he’s not concerned I’ll keep an eye out. Maybe it’s nothing. Maybe it is. We’ll see.

Stay tuned, Dear Diary,
- Neil
