Orazio (Vol. 1) Orazio and the Isis hormone.

You'd better run.

Orazio is lying naked on the bed when he hears the first bang. It is as if something very heavy had been thrown with great force against one of the walls.

He sits up and hears another dreaded thud. He notices how the floor trembles.

He hurriedly puts on his pants and runs down the stairs. Then he hears another tremendous thud and a cloud of dust reaches him, forcing him to close his eyes and cough violently.

Slowly, he opens his eyes again and stands on the first floor the safehouse.

"Orazia!" he shouts as loud as he can. But he receives no response. Alarmed he sees a crack appear in the ceiling. It is as if there is an earthquake.

"Orazia!" he says to himself. A first impulse pushes him to go in search of the person he loves, but he remembers the scene they have had together. He feels confused and terrified and suddenly he can only think about getting out of there.

He runs towards the front door and type in the security number. He exits to the street without closing the door. He runs and runs until he feels that the adrenaline has worn off and that his legs can no longer run. Finally he stops to catch his breath.

Soon he begins to hear the sound of the blades of several helicopters. He sees how several police androids descend from the helicopters to the safe house building.

Half naked and terrified, Orazio starts running again in a hurry. He runs through the alleys of the city, it seems that the police are not following him. But he does not dare to return to the safe house. Barefoot, shirtless and penniless, Orazio soon realizes how straitened his situation is.

He decides to wait for the police to pass. He finds a hiding place behind an old dumpster at the edge of an industrial area near a highway. He sleeps a few hours on the street floor.

When he wakes up he realizes how dirty he is, due to the dust. He must look pitiful. He thinks about Orazia and how she will react to seeing him like this.

He needs to talk to her. He has to make her understand that he doesn't want to have the same relationship with her as he had with Mrs. Johnson. Orazio decides to go back to the safe house.

Although he doesn't know the city, he has no trouble finding his way back thanks to the Interlace connection that marks the way with a blue line.

The people he comes across look at him in horror. They turn their heads away as if they can't bear to even make eye contact.

When he gets back to the safe house, It is found with a police seal on the door. In addition, a message on Interlace announces: "No entry. Police investigation in progress."

Orazio looks at the facade of the building on which several good-sized cracks have appeared.

He tries the door. It is locked.

He begins to type in the security code, but before he can finish, he sees the lights of a police vehicle.

"I'm afraid you're in quite a mess," says a voice behind his back. It is a female voice.

Turning his head, he sees a woman with fair skin and red hair. She is pretty in an "outdoorsy" kind of way.
"What do you mean?" says Orazio.

"Well" says the woman "There's nothing more to see you." She grabs Orazio's arm and begins to pull him along the street. She leads him to a car and opens the door, saying "In you get".

"Leave me alone" shouts Orazio trying to get loose "Who are you?"

Before the woman can answer, the door of the car is opened by a second woman. This one has a black long mane.
