That was a close call! I can't believe I did it! Most of all, I can't believe I MADE it out of there alive! These cops chased me down Colfax Ave for about 10 blocks until they finally gave up. And no one was there to help me. I knew they would ditch me. I KNEW IT! I've had a bad feeling about the whole thing ever since Viper told me what I had to do. I have stolen things before. I have hurt people before. I have broken into houses before. I even have killed before. But those were peole who deserved to die. Or I was only defending myself. But this time? This man hadn't done anything to me. He was unarmed. Obviously, Viper had told me lies about him. I wanted to believe him. I knew he was lying but my mind chose to ignore it. I thought that believing him would justify my actions. But it didn't. I knew it when I went there and my heart convinced me when I looked into this man's eyes right before I pulled the trigger. I will never forget the look on his face. What have I become? I can't go on like this. I'm only 17! I don't wanna die or go to jail! But I don't wanna live like this either!
I have to get out of here. I HAVE TO LEAVE! I can't stay here! This is no life. I have no perspective, no future. I'm turning 18 in three days. All I have to do is survive somehow for another 72 hours and then it's bye bye shithole!

I made my way to the Alliance recruiting office down in Stanton. There were pictures of me all over the place. So they are still looking for me. I wonder why they make such a big deal of this? Usually they don't look for little criminals like me in such a big manner. Unless the guy I killed was more than just a simple man. I need to talk to Viper.

Ran into Finch and his thugs. Bastards! He kept mocking me when I asked him where I could find Viper. Of course he wouldn't tell me. Took out three of his guys by breaking their necks. Then the others started shooting. I ran for my life. What the hell is going on here?

Heard from Sun Chin, that Viper is in Glendale. I had to threaten that whore to tell me everything she knew. Apparently that man I shot, was some undercover agent investigating against exophobic terrorists. I know that Viper and his gang hate aliens but terrorism? If I wasn't in hell already, I'd say that killing this cop will surely save me a spot there. I have to find Viper.

Interrogation Protocol
Property of SAPD
Case-ID: 8472-NCC-1
San Angeles, 2172
Time: 11:32 am
Suspect: Shayenne Shepard, age: 17
Head of Investigation: Det. Walter Felger
Defense Lawyer: -
Suspect was caught at 4:49 am on day of interrogation in Stanton, near Nashan Stellar Dynamics warehouse. Suspect made no resistance.
Detective: Your name is Shayenne Shepard?
Suspect: Yes!
Detective: Do you know why you are here?
Suspect: Yes!
Detective: Anything you want to tell us?
Suspect: What do you want to know? You are cops! You know that I killed the guy. What else do you want me to tell you?
Detective: So you don't deny that it was you who shot Special Agent John Merryweather?
Suspect: I didn't know he was a cop! If I had known about his true idendity I wouldn't have gone anywhere near him. I heard he was investigating against some exophobic terrorists so what was he doing with Viper and his bunch of idiots?
Detective: You say you didn't know who or what he was, yet you say you heard about his investigation? How does that go together?
Suspect: Look, I'm not dumb! I can tell when I was lied to and used. Especially when you guys make such a big deal of a 17 year old lil' criminal killing some drug addict who allegedly killed the wife of your gang's boss. I could put two and two together in the end, ya know? And as soon as I realized that there was more to it, I wanted to find out why Viper had lied to me! And by the way, your Special Agent LOVED to visit one of the district's hoe and she knew quite a lot about him. I guess that's what got him killed in the first place. Because if I could find out, then sure as hell Viper could!
Detective: What did Viper say his reasons were to lie to you?
Suspect: You assholes caught me when I was about to sneak into his hiding place! I didn't get the chance to speak to him. But maybe YOU can tell ME why a Special Agent was involved with him while investigating against xenophobic terrorists?
Detective: You really have no idea?
Suspect: Not the slightest!
Detective: Your friend Viper...
Suspect: He's not my fucking friend!
Detective: You seem very angry.
Suspect: No shit!
Detective: There have been investigations against Viper for the past three years now. He has been involved in all kinds of terrorist acts against aliens, here on Earth and all over the Galaxy. We suspect him to be the head of a big organisation, yet there has never been enough evidence to arrest him for good. Special Agent Merryweather was our chance to infiltrate Viper's network to find out more.
Suspect: That explains a lot!
Detective: Come again?
Suspect: Look, everyone in the gang hates aliens with a passion. Everyone except for me. I never really met any aliens so I can't say yet what to think of them. My guess is, there's assholes among them just as there's assholes among us humans. I often got mocked for that. Well, being mocked was nothing compared to...anyway. I think that this is the reason why he lied to me. He knew I wouldn't kill a cop! I never wanted to kill anyone at all. But telling me that this man had killed Shanna...you don't understand, she always was some sort of mother to me, he knew that I would want revenge for that. That sick bastard. I fucking knew he was lying to me. Why didn't I just listen to my hea...
Detective: Heart?
Suspect: Whatever!
Detective: And what were you going to do once you had talked to him?
Suspect: I don't know. Kill him. And if I didn't get myself killed or ended up in jail, join the Alliance to leave this shithole forever!
Detective: You want to enlist?
Suspect: That was my plan, yes! I mean, it's not like I have many other options. And nothing really keeps me here.
Detective: Maybe we can make a deal...
