Chapter 1: Born Again
"Hey, tough bitch. WAKE UP!" a booming voice said.
After what felt like an eternity of slumber, Christie finally woke up. As she opened her eyes, all she could see was darkness, and she had a lingering headache. As she gathered herself, she wondered out loud, "Am I dead? But…what did I just hear?"
"Ahh! You're finally awake! Took you long enough."
"Who the fuck is this?" she yelled back, clutching her head, still feeling dizzy.
"You're not dead, at least not yet. You were injected with sedatives, not the ones that were supposed to kill you. For everyone's knowledge, Christie was executed in that chamber, justice was served, and she's now rotting in hell," the booming voice said, apparently coming from the building's speakers.
Her eyes adjusted to the dark, Christie noticed a camera nearby. She immediately stood up and went to the camera, and she jumped up to deliver a quick swipe at the object.
"Hey! Take it easy! These things aren't cheap, you know."
"Show yourself, you fucking asshole."
"Christie, Christie, Christie. You should be grateful for your second chance, 'cause you've had an unexpected reprieve. Do exactly as I say, and I promise, this will be over, before the night is out…"
Christie ignored the voice, and she stood up to walk away, but stumbled a bit, still dizzy.
"You're still in bad shape. The sedatives might have been a little too much. It should wear off soon. Right now, you could use some assistance. See that thing on the table? Yes, that table. Take it and put it on."
Christie then decided to look for whatever the man told him to. She found an earpiece and another strange device. She placed the earpiece on her ear, but didn't know what to do with the unknown one.
"Can you hear me now?" the man said, now coming from the earpiece. "Good. Much better, isn't it? That thing on the table is a throat mic. Just put it over your neck so you can talk to me."
Christie did as she was told. "OK. Now, who the fuck is this?"
"You like making movies, Christie?"
"You're not answering my question…"
"You may call me 'The Director'."
"OK, Mr. Director, what the hell do you want from me?"
"I've seen your resume. Very impressive, really, I am impressed. I think you'll fit in nicely with your starring role in this movie."
"Fuck off. I don't have time for this shit of yours…"
Christie then left the building she was in, after repeatedly banging against a door that was shut tight.

"Welcome to Carcer City!" the man suddenly piped in, as Christie took her first step outside the building.
"Hmmph. I'm not impressed." Christie replied, after seeing the dilapidated buildings, the trash littering the streets, and the darkness outside.
"Really? Oh well, you might actually like it. You're actually in a seedy part of the city, populated by the Hoods."
"Hoods?"
"They are a gang made up of local cops, as well as local thugs. Surprisingly, they get along just fine. They wear a variety of clothing, but you'll instantly recognize them by the hoods that they wear," the man explained.
"And what might they be doing here?"
"They don't like it when someone invades their territory, you know…"
"So you dumped me in their territory? What the hell is this crap all about?"
"…so you have to defend yourself against these pricks. Good luck!"
Christie didn't bother replying, as she navigated her way around the streets. After walking for a short while, she stumbled upon some graffiti on a wall, which says:
KILL THIS
DUMB FUCK
---------------
Suddenly, she felt the presence of another person nearby. She then placed her back on the wall with the graffiti, moved slowly to her left, and took a peek. She then saw a person wearing a black jacket, blue pants, and a red hood, his back facing Christie.
"Man, the guys just told me to stay here and watch that way. What the hell? Is this a joke? Well, they did say I'll get some extra cash if I did so…" the Hood said out loud.
"See that dumb fuck, Christie?" The Director said. "Kill him. Now."
"Why?"
"'Cause he's blocking your way. Also, he'll kill you if he spots you."
"What the hell? Did you hire these goons to hunt me down?"
"That's not the point. Now, kill him! But I want you to be creative. You're too weak to kill him with your hands, so you'd better tool up."
Christie looked around her surroundings, and then noticed a blue plastic bag just lying nearby. She quickly, but quietly took the bag, and slowly crept up behind the unsuspecting Hood.
"Ohhh! I think I'll enjoy what you have in mind! Lights, cameras, action!" The Director blurted out with excitement.
Christie stopped, and hesitated, still debating on what to do.
"Don't be a pussy, Christie! Snuff his ass out!"
