"Ok then Laura are you all set then?" asked Matthew as he opened the front door to the flat where they had hidden.
"Yeah I am ready just please be careful" replied Laura as she peered out.
The street lights were on if this was any normal town they could just be going for a late night stroll as long as you had a reasonable excuse the police or Death Squads would leave you alone if you were out in built up areas. The one good thing about this crime was at an all time low in the Republic. You had to carry your identity card at all times and if you were stopped without it you were liable to be arrested and sent to jail with out trial if the police caught you but if you were caught without your identity card by the Death Squads they had the power to execute you there and then. So people always carried their identity cards.
Matthew looked around and then at his watch. "Hey listen we'll wait till the announcements ok?"
"Ok but then we got to do this quickly."
In the control room Miss Hall was watching the activity where Matthew and Laura were. Captain Black walked up to her.
"Miss Hall shall I have their collars blown?" he asked.
Miss Hall looked at him and glared at him.
"No Captain you will not!" Max said softly. "That would be very bad for ratings and I know that Miss Hall will keep a good eye on them. Your dismissed Captain." Max said without a hint of hesitation.
"Yes sir." Captain Black replied saluting Max. Max returned the salute and walked over to Miss Hall. "Let those two have there attempt I know they'll try but chances are they'll encounter someone and well then they'll be eliminated. Ok now as it nearly day two can I take bets on who is going to win? Miss Hall we'll start with you."
"Mm well considering the style the person is using I'll say James Fairfield." Miss Hall smiled.
"Good choice." Max replied. "Anybody else?"
"Sir I think Caroline Stead!" replied a solider.
"Why private?"
"Sir because she is showing sheer cold blooded killing!"
"Agreed good choice Private!"
"Sir!" a Death Squad private called out. "Bradley Asagba! I think he'll come into his own during the next two days!"
"Yes I can see where you are coming from private. Good call."
"What about Dave Jordan?" asked Captain Black.
"Dave Jordan? Could be an outsider I guess survived the hardest program location run. Ok not a bad choice."
"The other girl who's playing Chelsea Groves?" asked a female solider. "I like how she not armed with a gun and taken out quite a few already."
"Ah yes Chelsea Groves I forgot about her good choice!" Max walked up to Miss Hall. "I apologise for treading on your feet there but I want to keep those two alive as I think there will be something interesting happening to them."
"Agreed sir. Miss Hall looked at the time 23.59.57. "Start the music."
Over the entire game zone Vivaldi's spring in E major played over the game zone it was again time for the announcements.
