The lights in the apartment went dark in a flash. Meseet’s heart began to pound so fast and hard.
“They know we’re here!” Jioa rushed to the closet and grabbed canvas satchels and handed them to each person. “When the light turns red, I will have the door open. Run. Make it back to Feldwin any way you can, and under no circumstances do any of you group together.”
The lights all turned red and the screens turned black. Joia set off the explosives on the door and it fell off it’s hinges. She did the same to the building’s exit. Everyone scattered in different directions.
Meeset had no idea where she was running to, she had never been in this city before. She ran for blocks turning left and right, hoping she was too fast for the cameras to track. She starting to become fatigued when she noticed a Locaid Housing Project a few blocks ahead. She found the hole in the fence and went inside. She rushed to the back entrance near the public showers, grateful all the Locaid places were built the same. She traded her outfit with a teenage hooker for the Locaid Uniform, then walked into the building and climbed up to the roof. She heard noises in the far corner, so she went near the oscolator vent hoping the smell would keep whoever it was away. Then she sat there and tried to calm down and figure out how she would ever get back to Feldwin without detection.
