Yeah, we're going back to the safehouse. So you didn't hear the message he delivered? Or anything he said during the fight?

*My radio suddenly crackles to life, and I hear a text relay message come through. The same message is coming through Arson's radio in the front. My eyes widen as it goes on, cutting off when the signal is blocked* Um... was that what I think it was?

*I pale when I hear the message* God, they've got Bunny... shit shit shit... *I glance in the rearview mirror but my view is blocked* FUCKING BOXES! *I take a breath and calm myself down, using the side mirrors to check the road behind us* And they've got your name from somewhere, Angel.. this is not good... this is really not good...

What do you think, Arson? Can we risk going back to the safehouse?

*I run one of my hands through my hair* I don't see what else we can do... We can't keep driving around with all this food. We have to at least drop it off there, and then head out. But I have to help Bunny...

What do you mean, help her? Arson, she's probably in the Tower by now. No way you can get her out. We need a lot of really talented killjoys to even have a chance at something like that. Let's just focus on dumping the food and keeping Angel away from the crow for now, okay?

*I hit the steering wheel* Damn it, Gear! I can't leave her there! You don't know what it's like, what they do to people! *I turn onto a side road, still heading west, and glance at Angel, conflicted* But I can't leave you to Scarecrow, either, Angel...

Wait, what does that mean? Who knows where I am? Why are they after me? Is it to do with that guy? *My head starts spining and I start shaking. Tears fill my wide eyes* I haven't done anything, not really... I swear, I- I don't know anything. Arson, who was that? Sh-she could b-be wr-wrong...

'They' are Scarecrow. Not just one or two agents, the whole damn unit. I remember them doing this a long time ago... every few weeks they'd target one killjoy. I don't know why they stopped, but apparently they have a good reason to start up again and you're the first one on their list. *I turn right into the brush and after a few minutes of bumping over the rocky ground we end up on the driveway to the safehouse* I don't know whether that man had anything to do with it, but if he was why your house was torched then it seems likely. And the person on the radio was Bunny Killightly, a very good friend and a very good killjoy. She's been captured, and we're bloody lucky she managed to send out the warning, or we'd have been taken totally off guard.

*My eyes swell with tears* Wh-wh-what if we j-just explain that they, they made a mistake. I-I don't kn-kn-know a-anything. Maybe if I h-hand myself in, they'll be n-nice. The whole u-unit?! oh g-god. But wh-what about your friend. what will happen to h-her?

*I lean forward and put my hand on Angel's shoulder* You're gonna be fine, okay? Arson and I know what we're doing, we'll keep you safe. Turning yourself in will definitly not make it better.

*I hear the second transmission come through.* You have an uncle? Anyway, explaining the situation and turning yourself are definitly not good ideas. As for Bunny, there's no way of knowing what they might do to her. The sooner I can try to get her out, the better... *I skid to a stop in front of the safehouse, sending up a cloud of dust.* Okay, everyone out. Grab a box or two but make sure you can reach your gun as well. If they know about our raid, they might know about the safehouse too.

*I jump out of the car and grab a box* I don't know where my uncle is. I don't even know if he's still alive. Last I saw him * i struggle with the box* was about a year ago, he had some kid that I never saw before. He only stayed a night coz mum was scared to have him there any longer. I never knew why. I wanna *i put the box down* I wanna help get your friend...

*I get out of the car* We might want to try to find your uncle - he probably knows more about this than you do. But there's no way we're going for Bunny, it'd be suicide. I'm sorry, but if I was in her position I wouldn't want people dying for me. *I untie one of the ropes from the top of the car* You two go ahead - I'm just going to get the boxes off the car so if we have to make a quick getaway we won't be loaded down as badly.
