Caroline had run for over an hour. She was covered in sweat and was out of breath she had left 8th out of the hospital. She had found her way into a park, she had found a clearing and the moonlight was just enough to see her weapon. She had seen them before a riot gun which the police and Death Squads both used to brutal force. Officially it was called a riot gun but she knew that they both used them for dealing with people with lethal force. She read the instructions carefully she loaded up the power pack into the gun. The gun hummed as it was powering up. The sound of it made Caroline relax she felt safer now. Then a thought came to her, she was a champion and she wanted to remain that way,

"Play to win?" she said softly. "I'll do it nothing will stop me now!" she smiled as the gun display indicated that the gun was ready to be used. She crept along a small brow of a hill and looked around the area where she was in. A lake with an island was close by and she saw someone looking nervously around. It was Christian Sharpe she let out a small gasp and looked at him. Christian was an old one night stand of hers from last summer. She had slept with him after a drunken night out; she had left before he even woke up. She didn't return her calls and avoided him when he tried to speak to her at school. Christian was terrified his weapon was a whip which made him even more nervous he knew what this game was like some of his year would definitely play the game. Christian looked at the lake he saw the island which had a small building on the island which had been used to house birds and he decided to head there as he felt no one would look there for anyone. The lake was cold as he walked into the lake. The lake rippled along his legs as he walked along. The lake was only up to his knees but he did move quite quickly along. Caroline walked quickly down to near the lake she raised her gun and then stopped she had a better idea.

"Oi Sharpe!" she called out. Christian spun around and saw her standing about fifteen feet behind him on the bank of the lake.

"Caroline! What are you doing?" he shouted as Caroline raised her gun and fired at the lake just behind him!

A bolt of electricity flew out of the gun hitting the water behind Christian he screamed as a hundred thousand volts passed through his body his hair caught fire as he screamed 

and fell face first into the lake with a sickening splash dead.

Caroline smiled as she watched Christian die.

"One down lots more to go!" she said. She turned around and headed the way that she came.

In the hospital Miss Hall walked into the control room five soldiers where sitting by various monitors. She looked at Captain Black.

"Captain I must say that I was very impressed in your dealing with the insulate St John Smyth boy. I was very happy that you showed these brats that there is only one way out of the game and that is to win," she remarked.

"Miss Hall I completely agree with you it may come of interest to you that the Fairfield boy is up for the gamed he has eliminated Alisa Moi already and now is armed."

"James Fairfield that's interesting I am very pleased to hear that good news."

"He's up to prove a point since his sister and brother where killed early on in the first ever game."

"I know I read the report shot and collar detonation by you. What has the Minster of Education had to say about his daughter being killed as an example?" Miss Hall asked.

"Email arrived ten minutes ago. He accepted the fact that it was done for the good of the party and he has made it known that we have record viewers for the broadcast this time around." Black commented.

"Good now lets have a look at what's going on." Miss Hall said sitting down in a big black leather chair. She took her jacket off and placed it over the back of the chair a medallion fell over her blouse she looked at it and smiled.

Miss Hall looked at the main screen showing all the players stats.

Peter Gregor had run for his life since he had left the building he had headed as far as he could north east he had seen the electric fence and followed it to the north east tip of the game zone. His assigned weapon was a walking stick. He was annoyed by that but he knew that his best friend 

Bradley Asagba was waiting for him there in sector A6 which had a fairground and a water park in it. He looked around the fair first and couldn't find anything and then he looked around the water park. He walked past the ticket office and something made his heart miss a beat. His foot had trod in something wet he looked down it was fresh blood. He looked down and saw Heidi Amies lying with a crossbow bolt imbedded through her eye! He looked around and saw Ben Price lying with a crossbow bolt in his back. Fear started to grow inside of him he started to step back. A voice came from just above him.

"Peter!"

Peter jumped and looked up he saw his best friend Bradley Asagba standing above him on the ticket office roof. He leapt down and landed gracefully on the concrete.

What the fuck happened here? He stammered. Bradley was holding a crossbow.

"Hey both tried to attack me so I killed them!" he replied coldly.

"Ok so what's the plan then?" asked Peter feeling a little more relived.

"Well yeah I got a plan." Bradley smiled at Peter.

Peter found himself stepping backwards.

"Why are you walking back Greg?" asked Bradley.

"Just want a bit of space mate." He replied.

"Ok that's fine so do I!" replied Bradley as he raised his crossbow and shot Greg straight threw the heart. Peter screamed and fell backwards his skull smashed open as he hit the concrete.

"The plan is play to win I'll take the game!" he said as he walked over to Peter's kitbag and took all the food and water.
