A young man, sporting a City 18 Blue Boiler Suit, as well as a rugged, black fedora, sits at the counter inside the bar. A teal pouch sits next to him, opened fully. He opens a small book, retrieving a pencil from the side of his pouch.

Well this city has certainly been upgraded since the last time I had lived here. I was just starting to get comfortable in City 8, too….. Anyway, I have been becoming more stressed lately due to the Metro Police.

They've been becoming bolder. They almost killed us that time we met 'em in the Outskirts. Fuckin' hunters. Thing came outta' nowhere, even stabbed Mari in her arm. And that was not good….

At least we're all together, like one big happy family! Yeah, not really. Mick is an asshole, and I'm actually starting to question his sanity.

He walks around like an idiot with his 9mm, and of course, is captured by Metro police units. So guess who had to go save his ass? Oh that's right, me.

I take comfort in knowing I have at least two people I can depend on in this resistance. Connie, and Big Q. They've both been there for me in the short time I've known the two of them.

In fact, just the other day, when Mick's other half, 'Vane', had me at knife point, Big Q came to the rescue and threatened him.

And then there is 'Mario', our leader. His real name is Demencio Lombardi, I'm one of the few people who know that. I am still judging him, but he seems alright. He did save me and Connie once, but I'm not too sure if he saved us for both of us or just for Connie.

I know those two are in a relationship. I honestly have no problem with it. But I've heard he was a womanizer, so… I'm a bit suspicious.

And then there's her…. Kailia Hikaru. I met her during the evacuations. When everyone was evacuated to major cities. I wish I could see her more. I'm almost positive I'm in love with her. If only her job didn't get in the way of that….

But, that's another story for another time. For now, I got to go clean the bar before Matt comes back and has a fit. Not like Shamus is going to clean.

Well, there's the first chapter! I hope I did pretty well for my first story. Be sure to leave a review if I can, and tell me if I can improve on anything!
