"Okay then, can you get your hacker to try and track the guy who was on the news about the V.T.B.. Seeing as he was a hacker he couldn't of ran far..." I said wondering in my head 'well maybe he had some assistance from a runner'.
"Also, as you mentioned. Spirit won't like working together with you...so while your hacker is finding the guy, try to make a relationship between the two of you...or at least fake it." I asked of Shorts who was quite aggressive about the situation I put at hand.
"After these steps, I have a few more which need to be in action after we, including Spirit, find the hacker." I continued Shorts slightly lowering her aggressive-ness to a minimal.
Shorts suddenly threw me off guard with an interesting question, striking my plan's flaw which I had not seen.

"Yeah," I said, annoyed. "That's not going to work. First of all. Spirit will not want to work, and truthfully, neither do I. Then, we don't know what motivated the V.T.B. incident anyway, getting involved could get us all killed. Finally..." I trailed off, and I muttered to myself, "Why am I listening to this kid, this isn't worth my time."
I turned, thinking, and caught sight of the small note, and I smiled wickedly. This kid is getting threats, strange. I picked it up and waved it in the air. "Now, this is worth my time!"

"Well then, that's a risk I'm willing to take." I said, mildly grinning.
"Oh? That? What can you do with that? The initials are too messy to try and read and even even if your hacker can find fingerprints or something like that, he would find ours to,since we were touching it." I said to Shorts, who was looking over the name back and forth.

I ignored him, touching my ear piece, connecting to Optic, "Do you have any detail of someone coming in before us?" I said quietly, not sure if Bullet heard me or not. Optic gave my info on a person he spotted. "Great."
"I believe," I started. "The intials are A and C. Or A and D, something like that. And I have a report of activity in this area. But they may not be after you..."

"Wait? What?..." I said dumbfounded. "A and C or A and D? Who could that be?"I asked myself. "Why do you believe they're not after me and who are they really after?" I asked still with a puzzled look on my face. "And who are you talking to on your earpiece?" I asked Shorts.

"Listen kid, I am the Green Leader, and it is none of your business who I talk to," I snapped at him. "As far as the note, sometimes local kids who want to join the runners will leave these notes around hoping a runner will get it, thinking it will make them seem intimidating. Or somethines it may be family members who aren't exactly happy with the fact that their child joined the runners, and are threatening them to bring them back..."

"Well then i think it's seekers..." I said looking glum as I did.
"But...What I don't get is..Why here, and now of all times?" I asked her even though I could sense that me asking too much questions was aggravating her to the point of verbal conflict.

"Who knows, people in this city are idiots. Just lay low, and don't go anywhere. The only way to know for sure it is even for you is if you get killed or something," I responded. I held my fist, I was getting annoyed with his questions.

I saw Shorts getting angry. I admit I was a little bit intimidated but I could still see fear in her eyes about something.
"What's wrong?" I said in a strong voice, showing less intimidation as she became more and more angry.
"You seem...distant, what's up?" I continued asking, I could see her about to throw a punch at me. But before she did I said something that made her crack, making her stand there...blankly remembering....
"Have I...struck a nerve? Look, either way you don't intimidate me. I will get into the V.T.B...with...or with-out, your help" as Shorts stood there blankly....she spoke.

"Doesn't matter, you won't succeed. You are a neophyte, I can't be bothered. And as far as you not being intimidated by me, you should be," I relaxed my fist and walked up to him. "Your neck is very delicate, wont take much for me to snap it..."

After she said that Adrenaline filled up my blood which made me shake from the excessive energy boost. Shorts went for my neck, I dodged threw a punch at her she dodged. Shorts then kicked the back of my knee causing me to collapse shortly on to the floor, she then took my neck and was about to snap it, I curled up and kicked her in the face making her release me from her strong grip which was choking me.
"You have to do better than that if you wanna' snap my neck!" I shouted at Shorts.
She came at me again this time I ran outside, not for cowering but I had a plan. She followed me as I ran, she almost closed the gap between us, just a couple of feet more. I saw her talk on her earpiece and started smiling...

This kid was tricky, I had to admit, but whatever he had up his sleeve, I could beat, maybe not by myself, I was still sore from the burn, but I had a lot at my disposal.
I tapped my earpiece, "Optic, I got a runaway, kid from the ware house. Tell the seers around this area we got a hunt. Send five of them. And hurry!" I smiled.
Knowing five more runners would be at my side, eventually cornering the poor kid, knowing there was noting he could do against numbers, I smiled, and continued running, catching up to him.

She caught up to me, side by side, I took a Sharp left into a very narrow alley while she went forward, I L-climbed the wall and caught onto the roof suddenly I saw Shorts in front of me on top of the roof. 'what the...' I thought aloud. i jumped back and landed on the roof opposite us. 'DAMN! WHERE IS SPIRIT WHEN YOU NEED HER!' I screamed in my head knowing I would die at the moment that she would catch me, I jumped off the building onto a pile of soft boxes down below, 'jeez, you see these boxes everywhere' I thought aloud.
I heard a loud bang of the boxes coming behind me, Shorts had caught up, I wasn't as surprised seeing as she was a runner and I wasn't. Then it hit me...I stopped, allowing Shorts to catch up, She knocked me to the ground, a bunch of other runners following her. "WAIT!" I exhaled "Why are we fighting?" I asked Shorts, I was more confused than I have ever been. As I was lying on the ground Shorts almost choking me spoke.

I smiled, finally realizing I had made my point clear. Then I loosened my grip. "You need fear, you think you can go around making plans, when you aren't even a real runner?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked Shorts who loosened her grip.
"What does fear and me not being a runner have to do with this?" I asked, god I was confused.
