"Now, that is a tough question to answer," I responded. "Well, there are the blue, and the couple rogue runners who happen to hate us, but there aren't a lot of those around. Then, I heard there are a new team, their goal is to get rid of us. Don't know how many of those are around..."

As she was speaking I got up and was thinking about what was happening on the news...Shorts asked something but I was in deep thought...then it hit me. "Of course!" I whispered to myself. I remembered the hacker trying to take something from the V.T.B.. Maybe I can ask him to hack through the mayors network and find his emails, his writings and such.
All of a sudden a man like before in the subway came rushing through, ripping at his chest bleeding from the mouth. I saw Shorts gasp in fear and astonishment, while I stayed calm. The whole mall started to panic Blues surrounding the Man. "NO! Please don't kill m-" The man was cut short by bullets riddling him, I started to burn with fury inside for the Blues. How could they just kill someone and expect everything to be fine?! I started walking out the Mall whilst Shorts tugged at my jacket.

I didn't even finish talking when Bullet stood up. I turned my head, and gasped. A man, bleeding and scared, killed by an array of bullets from the Blues in front of us. I haven't seen Blue's open up in such a public place in a long time. Bullet headed to the door, but I pulled at his jacket, pulling hard and leading him into a corner.
"If the Blue's are shooting in here, that means they have a perimeter around the mall. You can't head out there right now," I informed him hastily, looking at the mass of panicking people.

"All right then why don't you escort me to the V.T.B." I said having no intention of getting a runner bag, which she may have thought.

"V.T.B.?" I asked back. I was a bit startled by the request. "Why, what are you thinking?"

"This man...the one who just died. He didn't die because he was a criminal. He died because he knew something that the current mayor or the Blues didn't want him to. And my plan is to hack inside his network and check things out." I said to Shorts who was almost dumbfounded and surprised.

"Really? That's interesting, and how do you plan on doing that?" I asked him, surprised. "You're a newbie Runner who hasn't chosen a side. Hacking into the most secure network takes a lot of effort."
I exhaled sharply and looked at the crowd behind us, now the Blues were gathering everyone up. "Come on," I pulled Bullet into a store and out of view from everyone else.

"How I plan on doing it is my business." I put flatly towards her. "And even if I'm a newbie, it doesn't mean I can't do things that runners can, I have practiced in the sport of Parkour for a long time so I think I can handle it." I said wondering if she would agree to taking me to the V.T.B..
(OOC: going to school now but i'll be on soon I hope.)

I began laughing at Bullet, not believing what he was saying. "It takes more than just knowing the moves. You can't think that one person can infiltrate V.T.B. trust me, a lot of people have tried, and I have seen a lot of people fail..." I shot, feeling a few tears push against my eyes. I knew I shouldn't let that much emotion show. I pushed them back and continued.
"And what the hell are you planning on using whatever you plan on getting your hands on anyway? You can't just spring this, pull a plan out of your ass, and think it is going to work."

"Well then..." I said thinking about the current question i was about to ask. " Would you like to help me?" I asked not in a pleading way but in a way that said ' you can help or you don't'. "And I told you what I was planning."

I weighted by options, I could say no, and probably send the kid on his way, or I could help him.
"Give me a day, I can get some info that could help us, before we go charging in..."

"Thanks, where should we meet after the day?" I said to Shorts, who had pulled me again this time leading away from the Blue Traffic.

I bit my lip. "By the docks," I stated simply. "Now, let's get out of here, before the blues find us. I know a couple of good ways out."

"Sure" I said to Shorts who was pulling me towards a red door.

I pulled Bullet to a red door near the back of the store, careful to make sure nobody saw us. I knew the layout of the mall pretty well, and if i was right, there was supposed to be a stairwell that lead straight to the roof, near the back of the building, giving us a clear shot out of here.
I opened the door, and entered the long hallway, walking down and to a smaller area, with only one door open. I went through and entered the stairwell, walking up the few flights of stairs and opened up the door that lead to the roof.
As soon as I opened it, I noticed swift figures moving, and I closed the door sharply, cursing and turning violently. Bullet, who was right behind me, was still on the stairs. I ran to him and immediately started pushing him back down the stairs.
