THE KRILL CHRONICLES

Chapter 1 {END OF LINE CLUB}
End of Line Club, 2009
KRILL sat up from his bar stool, placing his cup on the glowing glass counter. The club was packed with people, bumping up against each other and knocking drinks onto the floor. Up on the wall was a large projection of the clubs DJ's playing the latest hits sweeping The Grid. KRILL thought they were stupid.
As he looked around the room he noticed Z.A.T.H. He shot back his newest drink, paid and headed toward her. He walked through the crowd, passing by a few obnoxious bitzers and heavy drinkers. Z.A.T.H smiled as he approached, she reached into the pocket of her glowing suit. KRILL walked right up to her, face to face.
"You're late." KRILL said with a stern voice." Well…Do you have it?"
Z.A.T.H smiled then pulled out a small box, covered with the orange lines that cover the black guards.
"Wow, you're tense. You should really stop spending as much time in this…place." Z.A.T.H said showing her teeth with this smile.
KRILL snatched the box out of her hand, stuffing it in his bag.
"Are you sure you weren't followed?"
"Yes."
"Good…and err…it was nice to see you again"
Z.A.T.H gave a triumphant nod and backed up, moving swiftly out of the club.
KRILL paused, firmly gripping his bag. He wished he hadn't been so stiff; He wished he could have talked to her. Meetings went to fast.
