Chapter 1
Lara
turned her motorcycle to the left, still not being able to find the
clone.
"Where is that damn thing?" she thought angrily. She
was wearing black leather pants and jacket with a tight grey shirt,
with some a book bag with
one strap slung over her shoulder. She
also had short black boots. Her hair was tide back in a pony tail and
she wore dark tinted sun glasses that
seemed to go just right with
her face. "I'll never find it just going around the streets"
she thought to herself. "My best bet is to look up high." Lara
turned to the left lane and saw a tall building. "Perfect" she
smiled.
"The roof" said the elevator voice. Lara walked out
and examined the area. It was a run down roof with pipes sticking
out, and covered in rust. The area itself was small, but would allow
her to get a nice enough view to search for the doppelganger.
Lara
pulled out her camcorder and looked around the buildings. "Where
are you?" she said.
"Hello" a voice said behind her. Lara
jumped in surprise and wiped out her pistol from within her jacket
and aimed it at the person behind her. It was the doppelganger.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Lara snapped, still
surprised.
"I am just exploring this area." It said in its
almost robot voice. Lara shook her head. It was still hard to look at
something that looked like an exact replica of her. "So" it said.
"What are you looking for?"
"How did you know I was looking
for something?" Lara asked, her eyebrow raised.
"Your
expressions" It explained. "I am an exact copy of you. I know
when I am searching for something." Lara looked at her in
bewilderment. Not only did it look like her. But it could also know
what she was thinking. "So?" it asked.
"I was searching for
you" Lara explained. The doppelganger looked at her oddly.
"Why
would you be looking for me?" it asked. Lara sighed
"You've
been causing me a lot of trouble lately. You've been seen numerous
times running wild around all of Britain, and everyone thinks its
actually me." The clone frowned.
"I did not mean to displease
you" it said. "If you wish, I shall go some wear more, isolated."
Lara shrugged.
"Just please lay low. I don't want the
authorities after me."
"Of course" it said.
"Thank
you" Lara said. "Now all I might have to do is talk to the
authorities." The doppelganger nodded to her.
"Good bye" it
said. Then jumped off to another building.

"How did it go" Zip
asked. Lara took off her jacket and shrugged.
"A lot better
then what I thought it would. I'm not sure if it will actually lay
low though."
"So you talked to it?" he asked. "What did it
say? What did it do? How did you find it?"
"It found me"
she explained. "It said it would stay low for me. But, well, I just
cant trust it." Lara sat down on a three seated couch. "All I
know is, I cant have it as an enemy. It knows everything about me."
Lara sighed in stress. "I'm going to go to bed. Make arrangements
for Anya to meet me at a Peru market place on Wednesday, afternoon. I
need to talk to her about some things." Zip nodded
"What
action do you want to dress for?" he asked. Lara thought for a
moment.
"Something that lets me move about, but casual."
"Ok"
he said.
