*There is a beeping sound and I examine the readout, frowning* Vico, it says here the ducts are clean. Shit, he's in the tower somewhere. Why has no one found him yet?
*I think outloud as I head for the door, not checking if Vico is following me. I take my gun out of my jacket pocket and check the charge. It's full. Good*

*I follow Riley back out into the hallway* I'm telling you, we need to check the control rooms. If he can't get out and he's not stupid enough to try to hide, my bet is that he'll try to tamper with something. Maybe to buy himself time, maybe as kamikaze vandalism. Isn't there a string of control rooms three floors up? Maybe he hasn't been spotted because the dracs haven't made that much progress yet.

*I nod* Best Idea I've heard so far.
*We take the stairwell three floors up and I motion for Vico to watch our back as we make our way down the hall. There are heavy footsteps up ahead. May just be a careless employee...*

*I draw my ray gun somewhat reluctantly, glancing over my shoulder before shadowing Riley. It's oddly empty up here; I suppose all the workers are locked in their offices. I hear movement ahead and raise my gun, waiting for whoever it is to come into sight.*

*gets footing back after a bit of rest, stands in front of the door* Time to end this......*coughs up a bit of blood* ...before it starts. *reaches for the doorknob*

*It doesn't take me as long to search the other rooms once I have a routine down and people stop asking questions. I finish up one room and walk out to see Morand in the distance. He's talking on his radio so I decide to let Grey check the last few rooms and walk up to him.* Any news yet? I haven't found a thing.

*We round the corner and I see a killjoy bent over, hand on the door to one of the control rooms. He's hurt, dripping blood down the hall like a vampiric version of Hansel and Gretal. I could care less*
*I open fire as soon as he is in range. I hit him at least three times. On stun, of course. I want him alive*

*feels the shot in my back, turns around to a blurry pair of figures, before falling to the ground, unconscious*

*Riley reacts much more quickly than I would have, and I'm pleased to find I didn't have to pull the trigger once. Slipping my gun back into the holster, I walk after him as he approaches the downed killjoy. The man looks to be in awful shape, between the blood and the Zone filth. I use my foot to roll him over onto his stomach, and cuff his wrists with a pair of plastic zip ties. I'm not going to waste a good shoelace on a killjoy like him. Standing, I look to Riley* Are you going to call it in, or shall I?

I'll do it.
*I pick up my radio and tune to my unit's frequency* Suspect apprehended. Complete the general sweep to make sure there are not any more. There will be a debriefing in an hour in conference room D.
*I see two dracs and motion for them to pick up the killjoy* Hurry up. We're taking him to the high security cells. Call a doctor as well. I want him conscious asap.

*We go down the hall to find Grey when Wilson's voice erupts from my radio saying they have captured the assailant. I try not to think about it, instead taking a shaky breath and letting my hand sneak to my pocket to feel the reassuring pill bottle. I find Grey in one of the rooms and motion for her to follow us.* Did you hear? Lets finish this floor then meet the others, I hate being out of the loop.

Sure. *We check the rest of the rooms and find nothing, there must of only been one person but why?. On our way to the conference room we bump into some more people also heading in that direction. I make a mental note to introduce myself properly once this situation is over, I take another pill and continue down the hall.*

*I tell Vico I am going to check on Orwell and leave him to escort the prisoner. These recent break-ins have been intolerable. Security not only needs to be increased in the tower, but the city as well. I also consider that perhaps our basic methods of security are somehow wrong, that's it's time to completely overhaul the system... that's a conversation that will have to wait until Orwell is recovered*

*Riley leaves and I turn to the pair of dracs carrying the killjoy.* Well don't just stand there all day, let's get going.
*I lead the way to the elevators when it becomes obvious they're waiting for orders (why does everyone insist on treating me like their superior? This is getting ridiculous), and within a few minutes one of the guards in the fifth basement level is unlocking a cell for us. I haven't been to the high security levels before, as my previous unit hadn't caught anyone worth the extra effort. I have to say, I'm impressed. We had to go through three separate sets of doors, including a metal detector and a manual screening. And not a vent or back-entrance in sight.*
*His hands still tied behind his back, the killjoy is locked in the cell and the two dracs depart; I stay in the hallway outside to wait for the doctor and Riley. Before three minutes are up I'm teaching one of the guards how to tie a butterfly loop, but at least it keeps me entertained.*
