As I say, I might’ve been proud to hear some of that back in the day, but just then I was feeling pretty frustrated. So far my talents hadn’t helped me uncover any of Eric Heinz’s backstory. Lewis and I had been going around and around with each other over our doubts concerning him. Sure, he knew lots of stuff about phone company systems and procedures, even some stuff Lewis and I hadn’t been aware of. But A, he wasn’t willing to share much of anything. And B, he was forever asking those kinds of questions, the kinds hackers just don’t ask one another: "Who are you working with?" and "What projects have you been doing lately?" and so on.
