I woke up in the mid-afternoon. Around 3 o'clock, I'd say. I got up and looked around. There was still plenty of activity on the beach. But I couldn't find any familiar faces. Delta, Alexis, Eleanor, Samantha, nowhere to be found. I searched until I found a not in the lifeboat. It said, "Gamma, we went to the Plaza. We will all be back tonight." But I didn't feel like waiting for them. I had no idea of what kind of fun they could be having without me. Or what kind of crap they could've gotten knee deep into without me. Don't want to miss a minute, right? I didn't have time to throw on my armor, so I changed, and grabbed a jacket. Not the one I used when I went vigilante, but a different one. I had the vigilante one on under it. Never know, right? I grabbed my shotgun, and put it in its holster. I began the 10 minute walk to the Plaza.

I arrived. The once desolate, dead Plaza was now very alive, and bustling with people. I walked along, not knowing where they would be. I kept walking until I heard a scream. I looked, and a man was trying to steal a woman's purse. I pulled off my top jacket, and stuffed it under the other one. I drew my shotgun, and shoved through the crowd.

"Just let it go lady!"

"Help!" I put my shotgun to his head, after I pulled up my hood.

"Freeze scum. Make a move and what little brains you have will meet the light of the day. Now give her the purse." He let go.

"Good, now come with me." I led him to behind a few trees. I kicked him in the stomach, and gun butted him. I tied him up, and the authorities took him away after they found him. Of course, I had changed jackets again by then.

I continued walking, and a reporter approached me after a bit.

"Hello sir, you saw the man who saved that woman earlier, correct?"

"I have no opinion on this. Get the camera out of my face."

"Sir, can you at least describe what he looked like?"

"He was wearing a green jacket. I said get the camera out of my face."

"Is that it?"

"Yes! Look, I don't have time for Q & A, alright? I have to find my daughter."

"Your daughter?"

"Why am I telling you this?"

"Please, sir we need information on everything."

"You know what? I'm starting to miss the splicers of Rapture's halls. It was less annoying getting shot at then this interview. Now, goodbye."

"You came from Rapture?"

"I said goodbye. Quit following me." She still followed, and I had enough of it.

I picked up into a full sprint, and after a minute I lost them. I was never a press target. Now, everyone wants to talk to me? I stopped, and sat down. I looked around, and I saw what looked like the body of an Alpha out of my peripheral vision. I got up, and turned around. I saw Eleanor dragging Delta into a store. I looked at the sign, and it was a sports store. I walked into it, and saw Eleanor and Delta staring at a rack of items for tennis. I walked over, and scared the $#&% out of Eleanor.

"BOO!"

"Bloody hell! Gamma, you are mean!" Eleanor was still shaking when we left the store.

We walked around for around half an hour before Delta, Alexis, and Samantha got hungry. They went to the food court, and I continued to be dragged around like a rag doll by Eleanor. She brought me into a woman's clothing store, and I felt like a moron. She dragged me around until she found a rack for dresses.

"Gamma, I'm calling the favor."

"Alright, let me check my wallet." I checked it, and I'm broke.

*Sigh* "Eleanor, I'm broke. Tomorrow, I'll bring you back here, alright?"

"Ok. You promise?"

"Yes, I promise."

We went to find Delta and my girls. We found them in the food court, and we all left. I stayed back here to find some work. I really didn't care right now, just as long as I get a few hundred bucks. I really don't want to end up on the business end of Eleanor's syringe…

After an hour of searching, I found nothing. Well, if I can't get a real job, maybe I can use this vigilante thing. Get some rewards. I went to a bathroom, and changed into my "Jacket of justice" I walked out, trying to blend in. it didn't work. I had to sprint away, and find the police station. Luckily, they never recognized me. I looked at a few bounties, and found a $2,000 bounty per cultist head. That's a lot of money for such little work. I grabbed the bounty notice, and ran home to get my armor. I changed jackets on the way.

When I got there, I went into the supply closet, and grabbed my armor. I put I on, and grabbed my bandolier belt. I loaded my shotgun, and went on my way.

After about half an hour of waling, I heard the familiar chants. I walked into the cave, and open fired. I killed two before they could react. Two out of ten… crap… they all had loaded guns right next to them. Armor piercing rounds too… How did they get that? Honestly? I ran into the group, which scattered them. I killed five out of ten, and then I got hit with a grenade. I fell to my knees, and got up after a minute of taking fire. I shot and killed one more before the rest ran away. I cut a piece of a robe from one of them so I could collect the reward. I went back to the police station.

"Hey, I killed a cultist." I handed him the torn piece of cloth. He examined it for a minute.

"Nice work. Here is your reward." He gave me an envelope filled with reward money.

It was getting a bit late, and I was a bit torn up. I went to the doctor, but they were too busy. I just went to the general store, and bought a few first aid kits. Not the metal ones like in Rapture, but the ones that are filled with medicine, and bandages and crap like that. I went home, and everyone was disgusted at how torn up I was this time. My body was black and bruised, I had bullet holes in my ribs, and a few chunks of metal, and rock lodged into my back.

I thought Eleanor wouldn't want to help me this time, but she did. Something was up, but I never figured it out.

"Gamma, how you manage to get hurt this badly and not die is beyond me." Eleanor stated as she help me pick shrapnel out of my back.

"It's a miracle. Or maybe I'm just tough…"

"Well, if you're so tough, why am I helping you?"

'Because… um… you want to?" I asked with confusion.

"Yes. Because I'm a friendly person. Now hold still, this one is too close to your spine… Got it." When she pulled it out, I tensed up. It hurt, a lot.

"Thanks. Ah, that feels a lot better."

"No problem. Hang on a second; I need to try something…" I felt something odd up against my back. No idea what it was, but it relived the pain a lot.

"How does that feel?" Eleanor asked lightheartedly.

"Great. What did you do?"

"Oh, nothing. Don't worry about it. Now, let's get you cleaned up so you can get actual medicine."

"Where do I wash up?"

"We have a shower in here. You didn't know that?"

"No. Apparently I didn't check this place enough. Alright, well I guess you know where I'll be." I started the shower, and it was the most relaxing thing since… I don't know.

I sat in there for about 5 minutes. After I finished drying myself, I walked out in a pair of wrinkled blue pants. I had a towel around my neck, and I rubbed me head with it.

"Whoa. That was the most relaxing thing that I have felt in… ever. As long as I can remember." I said as I walked into the main room. Eleanor was standing alone there.

"Really? Interesting." She was looking out to the ocean.

"Hey, where'd everyone else go?"

"They all went out to get supplies. They'll be back in an hour or so." She turned around, and she had an awkward smile on her face.

"Um, ok. Well, I'm all good for the med stuff now."

"Ok, sit down, and relax…"

We sat for around an hour applying disinfectant and stitching the cuts and holes that riddled my body.

"There, we are done. Now, quit getting yourself beat up like this. I'm not gonna be able to baby you like this forever."

"Yes mother…" I replied sarcastically.

"Gamma, can we talk?"

"Sure, what about?"

"Let's go outside. It's a beautiful night."

We went outside and I learned a tasty bit of info. Apparently Eleanor liked somebody, but she wouldn't tell who. She was asking me about how to tell them.

"So, you want advice on how to tell a guy you like them? You could've just asked. I have no problem spilling a little on how we work."

"Thank you, but I just feel so… embarrassed."

"Why?"

"Well, look at Samantha. She can attract a crowd of guys, and get them to do almost whatever she says. It's like she has hypnotize or something…"

"Well… Ok then. We are quite simple actually. Most guys like girls with confidence. They like a girl who won't just walk out on them. Someone who's beautiful on the inside. A little good looks can get you pretty far too. You've got most of those traits, plus a few more. You should be able to get any guy you want. You understand now?"

"Yes, I think so. Thank you." She walked back into the lifeboat, and I stayed outside for a bit. The ocean view from here was beautiful with the moonlight bouncing off the water.

I stayed out there for around an hour. I have no idea how time flies that fast, but it did. I went back inside, and I pulled out the cot, which is where I usually sleep. I lay down, and was asleep in minutes.
