It is night time as we go and see a park. Soon enough, we see a little girl as she runs past it. She is sweating and breathes deeply trying to regain her breath after the running she did. Soon police sirens are heard and she continues to run.

???: Where do I go? Where do I go?

She didn't have time to think as the police sirens got louder, signaling that they're getting closer to her. She then ran down the street as she then hides behind a recycling bin. We then see police cars as they drive right by her and she looks to see the coast is clear for now. She leaves the bin and soon after, one extra officer steps in front of her.

???: Got you!

She then panics as she runs off and he gives chase. Soon enough, he runs to a dead end as the police officer grabs her by the arm. He then talks into his radio.

Weissman: This is Officer Weissman, I got the girl in custody. Requesting pick up to any units, come to the alley on 6th and Minnesota. 

He then stops talking into it and turns to the girl.

Weissman: You've been a real pain in the ass, Sahara. How many times does this make? I'm sick of getting called for this.

Sahara: Then how about you stop and leave me alone!?

Weissman: Trust me, an annoying brat like you, I'd love nothing more than to just leave you to rot in the streets, but I have a job to do. Now just come along and just do as I say you little sh-

Another officer then comes by in their car and gets out.

Weissman: Oh I'm so glad you're not hurt. Come now, your parents must be worried about you.

The officer named Weissman dragged her along as the flashback ends and we see Sahara waking up. 

Sahara: Why am I dreaming about that?

She then gets up for school as we skip ahead and she got out of the shower, puts on some clothes and dries herself off, hearing her parents argue downstairs.

Sahara: Figures I gotta hear that.

She then puts on her normal wear as she heads off to school. She soon meets up with Silas as he tries to talk with her, but she is lost in thought at the dream she had.

Silas: Sahara!

Sahara: Huh? What?

Silas: Did you hear me?

Sahara: No, what is it?

Silas: Classes start in a couple minutes, let's pick up the pace!

Silas hurries in the school building with Sahara running behind him. Skipping ahead to class, the teacher makes an announcement about the trip.

Teacher: The last day for the school trip sign up is fast approaching. Students need every school teacher in their roster to sign for it as well as their parent's permission. If you can't get both, you will not be permitted to join.
