extra section last one

The man stood in the middle of the deserted street. Little light came from the fires burring in a few litter bins dotted along the pavement. The local armed forces must have lit them, but merely for their own use ,the Left of London lived underground now, and even the soldiers had there base below the streets, it was safer that way, everyone lived together, looked after each other, so there were few that walked in the open unless they truly needed to. That and the lack of light was no bad thing.

It was easy to kill if you had to, and he had been taught just in case the situation ever came about. But the thought of taking an innocent life when it was doing nothing, but trying to survive was all but right. There was no other way he had to keep them both safe, the forces that be would understand and judge him when his time came, but that wasn't today.

No today was put aside for rescuing his daughter, and if someone must die to make sure his trail stopped here, and he could not be found to be safe and sound helping her, then so be it. But first somewhere safe to hide the car and sleep.
