I don't fit in BLI uniforms. So what am I gonna do? Stay here and protect Llama? I don't feel well anyway. Destroying a tower seems fun but I just don't think I'm up for it. Go on without me take my daggers and bombs if needed. I just need two bombs and a dagger to protect myself.

We're not going in to blow shit up. The uniforms are only being worn by the 2 in the front. The rest of us will hide in the back. I'm not gonna force anyone to do something they dont wanna do so if you wanna stay and look after the alley, thats completely up to you. Any one that comes in, well I doubt many will... *I go into the back room and haul a bag full of weapons out* I really don't like guns but what the hell *I start going through the bag, separating the weapons and ammo*

*Angel comes running down the road. The heat from the sun is particularly strong today. I reluctantly sit up as she reaches me* What am I a prisoner now? *She can hardly breath. The fear in her eyes grabs my attention before she can speak and I run back to the Alley* What is it? Whats happening?

*I look at skeets* There's no way... there's no way you're leaving me behind on this one. You can't stop me from going....
*Radios Fire* Just sit tight we're on our way. We're coming for you. *I put down the radio* We bring you, you stay in the zone one safehouse. We can't leave you here, scarecrow might come back to the area. *I pick up the radio again* Don't worry about skeets, we'll keep him safe. Just keep your head down and don't give them any reason to hurt you. Keep them talking if you can *I put the radio down again* They love the sound of their own voices, that lot. RIGHT, time to go!

Sounds like a plan. No point in wasting anymore time *I saunter over to Boots* Come on then, lets get you into that nice big truck outside *I put his arm over my shoulder and slowly walk towards the door*

Here I'll give you a hand. *I grab the other side of Boots and lead him outside*
So Skeets how are you planning on getting all of us into the city? Surely you've heard about the Killjoy escape right? They'll have the whole place on lock down.

Oh thats the easy part... *I take a black bag from a cupboard behid the bar* ...Sewers! We'll have to be carefull though. The Ritalin Rats will have a field day if they catch us on their turf. We'll have to go east to drop Boots off to the safehouse. Thats a bit of a problem because thats where they hang out

*I march back in. I open the first door, looking for something. Items of the room is flung over the main room of the alley. Not There! I go to the next door and do the same. Random items litter the floor. I get bored of making a mess and turn to skeets* Weapons? *He stares blankly at me* WELL, Where are they? *He points to another room. I take out a black bag. Tossed over my shoulder I walk back out. They take too long, I call inside from the doorway* WELL COME ON THEN, THIS GIRL ISNT GONNA SAVE HERSELF!

Let's make some noise. *I follow after Mariah and climb into the back of the truck*
I got the bike, who's driving the truck? Skeets you seem like you know where your going, lead the way. *I hop on the bike and put my helmet on waiting for everyone else to leave the alley*

*I drive straight through the zones. Avoiding the drac patrol hot spots in order to refuel. I stop half way to catch a few hours sleep that almost refuses to come. I'm thoroughly exhausted when I wake and so numb that I feel nothing. Not even the freezing cold night could penetrate the invisible barrier of overwhelming emptiness. I continue on at first light heading to my sanctuary. I reach the edge of the small village that I now consider my home. I pull up outside the Bowling Alley and smile slightly as I look up. The roasting sun glimmers off the windows and roof, making the whole building shine. I look at the dirty stone walls and the wooden door, which leads into a different world to the harsh one I currently stand in. My eyes are to tired and dry to produce tears as I place my hand on the cooling wall, gazing in the window of the door. From outside it looks so warm and inviting and yet all the bitterness and loss that the visitors to this building have felt is simultaneously trapped inside its walls. I pull of my bandanna, revealing my scars and take off my sunglasses.*
No more hiding, No more running
*I repeat twice this as I step inside. The beautiful interior puts shame to its outer shell. I look around the empty, spotless alley*
I guess Dede took off
*My mind shoots back to the circumstances surrounding my first visit here. Seeking out Retro Glory after her being put on the crow list, Getting trapped after a drac patrol coming back and making a commitment to myself to restore the alley as a symbol of hope to people. I sit down with a pen and a writing pad remembering the several weeks with Arson and AE renovating the building, hoping not to be attacked. The echos of the past fall silent and I'm left with the reality that I'm on my own. I begin to write. I have maybe hours left to do what I know I have to do. I sit at an empty table, I have never felt so alone in this place but I continue writing as it is to only thing I can do. Night falls as I finish. I grab a spare, single sheet of paper and write a quick note. I am disturbed by the sound of roaring engines which blast through the silence of the quiet town. I limp to the window and hurry back to the table to finish my note before hiding my precious work beneath the counter of the bar, a hidden space where it will be safe. I walk to the door and take one final glance around the heaven that I'm to be expelled from. I hold my head high as I exit my Bowling Alley and everyone I have loved and lost. The vehicles come to a grinding halt in front of me. The headlights all focus on me. I take a deep breath before walking forward.*
This is it....

Yes, I'm still running - sort of. But it is lonely out here. Haven't seen anyone else for a while.
