Viruses: aaaaw!

"Get back here you shitty little bitch!"

Someone screams behind me. I barely have the opportunity to look back though, for at the moment I am busy running for my life. My sneakers pound against the pavement, just as the blood pounds in

my head, creating both a distraction and a release from the steady flow of threats and insults being hurled at me from behind. It's too bad there's barely enough breath for me to breathe, let alone

laugh at their vulgar creativity. Rounding a corner, I come up against a fence, but I have no time to stop, so, summing up what little gymnastics training I have, I hurl myself up and over, landing with a

less than graceful thud on the other side. Though the souls of my feet sting from the impact, I keep running, especially when I hear the sound of bullets whizz past me. I glance around quickly and see

that I am in an alley, and the end of it is getting closer. Another fence looms up in front of me, even taller than the last one. Thankfully though, several crates lay stacked against it, creating an easy

escape for me. Once again I land on the other side, just barely more gracefully than the last time. Ahead of me lies the open city streets, flocked with other cells I can use as my camouflage. I dash

quickly into the crowd, allowing myself to be swept away into the current of the busy city-goers. Behind me comes the sound of splintering cartilage as the fence is busted through. The germs emerge,

looking for me, but it's too late, I'm already gone, ducking through gaps in the throng of cells traveling in the opposite direction. A little farther ahead I see it, my car. Deep violet mixed with a soft wispy

blue, my baby. Leaping through the window I land in the driver's seat, shove my key in the ignition, and tear out of there as fast as I can. Only when I reach the freeway do I slow down, and reach into

my bag for the tape recorder I have stashed there. I click a button and the tape pops out, which I quickly plug into my radio. Instantly the recording begins to play, repeating back to me the same

voices from earlier of the germs in the warehouse. That's the whole reason I was there, is for these voices. Cars whizz past me on both sides, but they barely register, for I am too busy listening to my

handiwork to pay much attention.

"So, you got it right? You got everything we need?"

"Yup, it's all right here, now where's my money?"

"Here- no hold on, how can we be sure this is all gonna work? I'm no good with this technical shit, so how about you do us a little demonstration? Then you'll get your money."

"Geez you, ugh, fine. Just pay attention alright, you press this button here, then flip this switch, which activates this part here, then you take this part and plug it into this slot to make that work. Okay?

You with me so far? Good, now here comes the tricky part, in order to make this do exactly what you want it to do, you have to enter in a certain code; don't give me that it always has a code! Now

listen, the code is: X13Z58211. Remember that, it's the only thing that will work, this crap is stuffed to the gills with anti-hacker software, making it nearly impossible to bypass without a code."

"damn, all that shit for one lousy bust, but with the bank as tight as it is nowadays there's no getting in without a little more technology. Now if he were here, there'd be nothing stopping us from

getting all the money we want-"

"Are you forgetting man? He's dead, D-E… uuuh, well dead!"

"Good riddance I say, he always kinda gave me the creeps."

"Ha ha, actually I heard a rumor that he survived. Yeah, I here he came back to get something that belonged to him, from that cop, Jones."

"Yeah, I heard that too, supposedly he's hiding out at the old- hey, did you here that? There's someone outside the window!"

From there the recording cuts off, for at that moment was when I was discovered outside the window, after accidently knocking over an empty adrenaline bottle. I know this stuff is enough to make

front page news, but I feel reluctant to use it, especially with the last part of that conversation still running through my mind.

'Who is alive? What are they after? And what does it have to do with my dad?'

I, Maxine Jones, plan to find out. . .

and there it is, the first chapter! i know it's short, but i promise they won't all be that way! like i said before there is a link to my deviant with pictures of the characters, and i urge u to take a look! (that way i won't have to try so hard to describe them-oops did i type that? silly me! XD)
