June 2040, Brazil
- Run, they will still catch us otherwise !
Children were running in the narrow streets of Brazilia laughing, they had just exploded afirecracker under the tires of a police car. Obviously the victims of this aggression hadreacted at the quarter turn and chased the children. It was not their first stupidity and theywere not going to let it go unpunished.
- Pull over!
Passers-by were watching the chase with amused eyes when suddenly a policeman pulledout a grappling hook and grabbed the leg of the little girl who was leading the race, causingthe other three children to fall behind her. She was screaming in pain as the electric pegs onthe grappling hook went into her ankle. Bystanders began to gather around the stage. Thepolice dispersed the crowd with a shot in the sky and grabbed the children to take them tothe police station. The injured child struggled with all her strength in vain, she was soonplaced in a cell with her friends.
A few hours later and after a good moral lesson given by the policemen, the parents of thejokers came to get them.
- Raze, you're not going out until further notice and you're going to work with me until wehave enough money to pay off the fine, got it?
- Yes, daddy...
The leader of the group of friends was called Raze, she was 7 years old and tried to occupyher long days without school as much as she could... Her mother worked for a newspapercompany, every day she went around the city for distribution and her father was a mechanic,he repaired all kinds of objects. So during the day nobody could keep an eye on the little oneand she took advantage of the day to walk the streets with other children like her.
Only, without knowing it, that day when she was condemned not to go out any more to workwith her father, offered her a passion for mechanics. Indeed, he taught her the principles andthe basics of her trade and the young girl immediately understood that this was what shewanted to do with her life. So, for several months she helped her father do odd jobs to paythe fine and then decided to create her own workshop.
But she didn't want to use her talent to repair things, she wanted to create her own things.For a few years, she invented many small machines and sold most of them to be able to buyequipment. At the age of 19, she found her favorite field: explosive weapons. Moreover,thanks to the global context, these weapons could be sold at a high price.
- So, Raze, what are you up to these days, Gloria, a friend of hers was talking to her on thephone.
- I'm finishing my last prototype of a homing bomb, it's soon to be functional. The armycontacted me to make some but I don't know if I can trust them, they could very well use thiskind of gadget on us...
Raze was talking about his creations on the phone while walking down the street and hiswords didn't catch the ear of a deaf person, the man who had heard this conversationshivered with joy, he had just found the person he had been stalking for over a week. Hepatiently followed his target until she finished her call. When she finished, he stood in front ofher and began the conversation:
