*As I’m driving, a million thoughts and questions are running through my mind when I suddenly realise that I don't know what zone I’m in anymore and mutter to myself sarcastically* Perfect! *I stop the bike and have a look through my bag for a map or the batteries I took out of my radio with no luck*

*After a short while I find my Vend-A-Hack then drive around till I find a vending machine* Hmm....... *I pull up to an old store and after I get the batteries, put them in my radio and turn it on. I find my location and continue driving through what i believe to be zone 2 until the bike runs outta gas* Ah crap....*after a few minutes of wondering why the world hates me, my radio crackles to life again*

-Well well, it looks like someone's in a bit of trouble now, aren't they?- *i don't try to catch the radio as it falls to the ground but continue to listen intently to the patronizing voice, it's him, i know it. No, it can't be, he's dead. Definitely Dead* *As i'm mentally arguing with myself i start to repeatedly kick the bike but stop immediately and look to the radio after i hear that old taunting/amused laughter* -Come on now, you were never one to be violent, you were the quiet and sneaky one, remember?-

*i radio back trying not to let my voice shake while trying to change the subject* Why turn up here, after all this time? -Well, why do you think? *it's clear just by his voice that he's smiling * Plain and simple. Revenge - Ah....*I look around trying to suss out his hiding spot but there's hardly anything at all in the area, just the usual surroundings out here; a few rocks, a couple of dead trees, all the usual kind of stuff.....Well, if i've learned something from all my time in the zones, it's when to fight and when to run, and now is definitely the time to run* *I decide to do just that as i try, and fail, to get the bike working one more time and begin to relax a little after i'm sure i'm at least a few miles away and heard no approaching vehicles. I keep running until i find a safehouse and go inside to rest. Big Mistake*

*It's not until i'm woken up by the harsh sunlight and some nearby gunfire that i realise i must have fallen asleep sometime the day before, still, i waste no time in grabbing my backpack and running into one of the back rooms to suss out what's going on. As i duck between some boxes and try to see out of the windows i notice some dracs firing towards the house from behind a patrol car. I check the charge on my gun but decide not to start shooting yet, besides, they might not know i'm in here. I know I can't wait much longer though as i hear at least three dracs break in and start looking through all of the rooms. One more minute...*

*When one of the dracs walk into the room i immediately stun him and drag him over to the corner then pile a few boxes around him so he's not so easily noticed. One down, two to go. I make my way into hall as silently as possible and try to find the next drac, better to pick 'em off one at a time than to try and take them all at once with no backup.*

*As i approach the last door along the hallway my heart sinks when i hear some footsteps about a meter and a half behind me. In a split second, without really considering the attention i'd draw to myself i turn around and shoot at the drac three times- hitting the drac in the stomach and chest but the third shot misses and shatters an old frame with no picture in it on the wall. So much for keeping a low profile.*

*As that drac falls i hear the third running down the stairs to see what all of the commotion is about. All the while i hear others breaking in through windows and such. It was hopeless, i was in way beyond my depth. Now i could either hand myself over or probably fail an attempt at escaping. Instinct takes over before i can completely decide and i run into what i presume must have once been a small living room and block the door behind me as best as i can. As i'm desperately running around the room looking around for a way out i trip over a floorboard and and it falls out of place, revealing a small tunnel. I don't care where it leads, I jump down just as at least 4 dracs rush into the room. They may be pretty stupid but even they would see a hole in the floor and put two and two together eventually.*

*After stumbling around in the dark for a while i'm pretty sure i've lost the dracs that were chasing me. I get a small flashlight out of my bag and shine it around the tunnel. After wandering around for another short while it occurs to me that i'm hopelessly lost. I try to get my radio to work but it's so hard to get signal for long enough to send out a message, i give up and decide to just keep going until i find an exit*

*I have no idea how far i've walked and i'm quite surprised that i havent found a way out yet. I'm starting to get a bit worried cause the battery's in the flashlight are going to die soon and i still don't know where i am. Finally, after what seemed like hours of searching i find a ladder and climb up. My blood runs cold when i realise where i am. Battery City - About 2 streets away from the tower.*

*It's unusually quiet around the city, there's not a civillian in sight. Perhaps they've put in a new curfew or something. It's getting dark now so at least it'll be easier to stay out of sight. I look around and see someone staring at me from behind a curtain and they hurriedly let it fall back into place when i make eye contact with them. It's probably only a matter of minutes until they alert one of the City's staff, so i figure i'd better get moving then. But i think i'm gonna have to hang around the city for a while, at least until it's completely dark, it'll be easier to get out then.*

*As i make my way along the streets i think about how little it's actually changed. I remember that the last time i was here was over six months ago and i've only seen a couple of the killjoys since the raid that couldn't have gone more wrong and i really hope they're all okay. They say no news is good news anyways. Without realizing quite how i got there without noticing, i stop dead, i'm outside the tower doors in plain sight of whoever is in the lobby.*

*The receptionist has already seen me so there's no point in doing a cool ninja roll out of sight even if it would have looked awesome. At least i'm not wearing my mask right now, but there's little i can do about my outfit. Oh well, might as well make the best of a bad situation. I walk through the doors without hesitation and straight up to the desk where there's a very professional looking person behind a computer. I can see it in her eyes that she's on the pills. This will either work or it won't i guess.*
*she looks up from the computer monitor but continues typing* Hello there! Welcome to Better Living, how can i help you?
Hello, i have an appointment with someone in the neurology department.
Okay, with who, may i ask?
I have an appointment with a Mr. Washed....first name Brian
*Continues to type* I'm sorry, there appears to be a mistake, there's no record of any Brian Washed person or persons with that identity on our system. Let me just call-
Oh, don't worry about it. He works in department B5, i'll take myself there. *smirks and walks away quickly over to one of the elevators before she can respond again. It's fine, she'll forget she ever saw me in a few minutes time*

*The elevator journey 5 floors downwards seems to take forever and all the while i'm praying that no one else gets in. That crappy elevator music only adds to the torture. Finally i get to the right floor but i have no idea where to go from here. Mental note: think a plan all the way through before putting it into action.*

*Pretty much as soon as i step out into the bleak and cold hallway i can hear footsteps approaching. I run into the closest room which happens to be a store cupboard full of cleaning supplies, then close the door behind me as silently as possible. I can only hear two voices but it seems as if there are more people walking past, i press my ear right up to the door to hear as much of the conversation as possible* *Despite all of my efforts i still only manage to pick out a few words. There passing just about now so i can hear slightly better, i hadn't even noticed that i'd stopped breathing. There are two words, and two words only that catch my immediate attention - Scarecrow and...and, Faith*
