"Flight 173 has landed. Enjoy your stay!"
Aiden woke up from the monotony of blank and void dreams, to the bright sun streaking into the passenger jet. He looked around, as people were unbuckling and heading into the terminal of the airport. He did a quick scan with his phone, and saw no technological anomalies in the area. As he got up, he saw the outside world for the first time in several hours.
Sunshine and bliss.
He exited the plane and entered the terminal, which was buzzing with activity and chatter. Several TVs were hanged on the terminal's roof, periodically displaying the Blume logo before jumping back to Weazel News. One particular news feature hijacked the screens of each TV, and took the attention of Aiden.
"Welcome to a special Weazel News announcement! We have breaking news from the dreary city of Chicago.
Some call him the Vigilante, The Fox, or just an average crook. It seems that no one has spotted the Vigilante for a while now, as he has ceased his daily routine of fighting crime and angering local officials.
Police are saying that the Fox has been apprehended and arrested, with support from the Blume Corporation, even though they have not issued his identity or his location. Chicago has recently underwent a huge governmental revamp, as the previous mayor's scandal recently arose, and this may just be a way to claim fame and temporary satisfaction from the public.
For the shiny and sunny city of Los Santos, the new Mile High Club skyscraper has now been bought by the Blume Corporation, and will begin new installations of ctOS functions for the city. Plans to extend into Blaine County are in the future.
This has been...Weazel News!"
By the time the news broadcast had finished, Aiden had already crossed the road that led to the airport's parking garage. He swiftly and silently hopped into a nearby sleek Vapid Peyote, with a gleaming black paint. He pulled out of the garage, and sped into the road beside it, bursting with taxi and bus traffic. He pulled out his phone again, and searched for the nearest free real estate. An apartment came up in the Eclipse Towers, with a price of four hundred thousand dollars. Since he had nearly a million dollars already shared between several bank accounts and off shore networks, he purchased the apartment and sped towards it.
It was surprising how quick and easy he bought the apartment, considering the fact that he did not even consult a real estate professional or the actual owners of the Eclipse Towers. He shrugged this off, as any plan to sneak up and attack him would be foiled as soon as they stepped inside the towers. As he saw the Eclipse Towers come into view, jutting over the Los Santos skyline, he thought to himself a simple statement.
A new life.
