Watchdogs: Lockdown
Chapter 1
"The Vigilante" continued to walk the streets of Chicago and hunt down criminals. No one could hide from him. The death of his niece and Clara, the painful betrayals he faced kept him going in the pursuit for justice. He remained persistent even though the authorities did not appreciate his help. By the time Aiden had finished solving a case and delivered the evidence anonymously to the authorities, he had 19 homicide, vandalism and cyber terrorism offenses on his back. He took it too personally, he dug his own grave waist deep. One incident ruined his reputation.
"It was a hazy morning in gloomy Chicago. The city was still grieving the loss of mayor Rushmore. The Feds were brought into the case. Aiden wasn't safe. Everywhere he went, cops would be looking for him. Aiden sat in his hideout, staring at the monitors watching the police moves. Just then, he got a call from a called ID named "HaRD_DRive2266". He picked up the call and the first thing he heard was his name.
"Aiden, I need your help. I'm texting you the location. Hack into the ctOS station and call me once you're done. "
Before Aiden could question the caller about his identity or anything at all, the caller hung up. Just as Aiden decided to ignore the call and sat back into his armchair, the words "US$10,000,000 Transfer Complete" popped up on his screen. He had to take the job or else the caller would rat on him. He hesitantly stood up and left for the location on his phone. Aiden had no idea what he was doing this for.
Aiden arrived outside an old warehouse with the words "Blume" on the door fading away. He climbed onto a crate and entered the warehouse through the window. He stumbled across a supercomputer which he did not know what functions it had. He whipped out his device and plugged it into the computer drive.
"I'm in," Aiden dialed the caller and informed him.
"He was met with a set of instructions and began installing a backdoor into the supercomputer. Aiden managed to hack into the system and just then, a window popped up. He clicked the link that revealed and a video with an F.B.I. watermark started playing.
"Aiden Pearce, we've been watching you all this while." Aiden moved away from the monitor in shock. "You have murdered countless innocents in broad daylight. We do not know what you want but we can tell you that you are no different from other ruthless gang members and murderers. You cannot hide, we are already waiting for you."
Just then, the whole city was thrown into darkness. Steam pipes and power transformers started to explode. Sirens started filling the air. Aiden plugged out his device and knocked over all the monitors as he scrambled his way towards the exit. "Stop where you are!" an officer shouted with from a police helicopter. They started to open fire on the vigilante as he hijacked a car and drove off into a tunnel. Aiden got out his vehicle in the tunnel and hijacked a minivan before he drove out into sight. The cops had lost track of him. Aiden heaved a sigh of relief as he drove towards his hideout.
"This was just the beginning of the end for Aiden. He had been made the most wanted criminal in U.S. territories. Aiden could not hide for long, he had to run…
