But last week, cleaning out his parents' garage, he found it. The big cardboard box. The embossed tin case. The "Making Of" DVD. The fold-out map. And inside the jewel case, a slot where Disc 2 should be.
He downloaded the file. A single .exe named MOHPA_NoCD.exe . It was 3.2 megabytes. It took eighteen minutes over 56k.
Disc 2 was a frisbee. Not metaphorically. Three days ago, his little brother, Derek, had decided the shiny CD made a excellent flying saucer. It had sailed across the room, bounced off the ceiling fan, and skidded under the bookshelf. Leo retrieved it. The data layer looked like a spiderweb of lightning.
