The girl with the green hair looked at me for a couple minutes with a perplexed look on her face.

"You don't remember, do you." She said in a quiet voice, fiddling with a small piece of cloth in her hands. "But me and Kieran found this in your hoodie pocket, and I'm Tara by the way."

I looked at Tara and replied, "if I could remember my name I would tell you what it was," this made her laugh, she had a nice high and clear. When she stopped, she opened up the file, and when she read her eyes widened to the size of plates.

"Do you know what this is?!" She asked me in all seriousness, I shook my head no. "It's one of the citizen files that the Droids in Laser City make about everyone there, and to make it better its your file."

"Well what does it say then?" I asked her.

Tara cleared her throat and started to read out:

Forenames: Holly Lee

Surname: Tennant

Age:19

D.O.B: 30th of may 2188

"Well that's your personal details I'll read you more later, cause you need to rest," Tara said as she stood up from the edge of the mattress where she was sitting.

"Wait, where are you going?" I asked.

"To get  rest of the the resistance, they'll want to meet you when you see this." Was Tara's reply echoing down a hallway somewhere in the building, I'm going to have to explore this place when I've recovered, I thought to myself. But for now I'm gonna take a nap, and a fucking long one too.

When I woke up I was surrounded by Tara and four other faces I didn't know, in my head I was thinking stranger danger, stranger danger!

"You can stop thinking that now," a guy with dreadlocks said. How the hell did he know that?!

"Jakob, come on dude, she just woke up." A kind of skater looking guy said wiping his nose with the back of his hand and smearing oil on his face doing so. Oh so this guys a mechanic.

"Shut it, Conner," Jakob said in retaliation. Making a tired sigh of "guys..." come from Tara.

Tara turned to a small Asian girl and said, "Kimiko can go and get the file we found on Holly please?" As Kimiko left get the file, Tara turned to Jakob and Conner and said "look you guys, I know you don't get along at all but you please try and keep it together so we can explain all this to Holly?" Jakob looked at her his tall, muscular frame made him look very intimidating, muscles rippling underneath chocolate brown skin and said in an accent straight from Nigeria, "I tell little shit over there to shut his mouth and he will shut it, is that a problem?"
"No that isn't a problem Jakob, its better without Conner's endless talking but try not to lose your temper please?"
"I will try," was Jakob's reluctant reply.

"What are you talking about?" I asked hoping that they would explain.

"What is there to explain, really?" A voice said behind me. As I was about to turn my head and look, a figure stepped in front of me.

"Hello, my name is Kieran," he said sitting down beside me. Kieran had reddish brown hair with a streak of blue over the end of his fringe and dark green eyes. He was about five foot eleven inches tall and very slim.

"Welcome to the resistance."
