The Begining-

I awoke with a start. What the he!! was that sound? It was coming closer. It sounded like a helechopter (sp), but it couldn't be them. They would never find me here.

As the sound dies away, i relax and try to remember the dream i was having. I was back at Manticore the night when Eva was shot. I remember her standing over Jack with a gun trying to defend him so the soldiers wouldn't take him away. Lydecker had pulled out his side arm and shot her. That bastard. I hope that one day we will meet again, but this time, no guns. Just a straight out, hand-to-hand battle.

My mind drifts to the night we had escaped. Our most glorious moment. I think it really hit Lydecker hard. Serves him right. I remember jumping out the window and racing to the perimeter wall. It was so easy to jump over it and run. We had all stopped in a small clearing in the woods to await our orders from Zach. He had told us to scatter and run, he would contact us some day hopefully. I still haven't recieved that call.

Its been almost ten years since that day. I haven't seen anyone of my brothers or sisters since. I wonder what they are all doing now? I mean, what ever happened to Zach and Tinga and Brin. What are Zane, Krit , and Syl doing at this moment?

This is too painful to think about right now. I have to go to work in a few hours. Maybe I'll go for a ride on my bike first to clear my head. I grab my glasses and hop onto my bike. Its cool today so I decide to throw my jacket on too.

(An hour later)

As i blaze along the road, I see something up ahead. What the he!! is it? I use my super enhanced(sp) vision to see whats blocking my path. It looks almost like a car accident. Someone might be hurt. If their not, then maybe i can snatch a few bucks. I am so mean I think to myself.

As I pull my bike to a stop. Something isn't right here. There are no people. I check the cars but no one is around. Suddenly, soldiers come at me from every side. I manage to take a few of them down but there are to many even for me. A Black Hummer pulls out of its hiding spot in the woods. Damn I think. Not now! Not when I just landed this great job as a bartender in one of the local bars called the Crash. Ahh one of Seattles finest hangouts.

Someone steps out fo the Hummer and I recognise them from somewhere. I don't remember who it is though. Then it hits me like a ton of bricks. "NO!" i shout.
