Rat Tails, Snow and I wait quietly in a dark ally and we watch a group of police men walk into the market and stop by an apple stand. One of the police men take an apple and takes a bit out of it then spits it at the vendor.
"What is this? Are you trying to poison me?" The police man shouts, then he takes his baton and hits the man across the face with it.
"Answer me!" The police man shouts again, just as a kid (assuming it's the mans child) behind another one of the stands throws' a rock and hits the police man in the back of his head. The police man whirls around to find the kid about to throw another rock at him. It misses. The police man barks orders at his comrades to go and get the kid and bring him back. By now everyone in the market is starring. The kid screams as he is grabbed and dragged across the market to the apple stand.
"Leave my father alone!" He shouts at the police man.
"You think your tough, eh? I'll show you tough." The police man says as he raises his baton to hit the child, but his father jumps in front of them before the police can hit the boy.
"No please! I beg you! He is only a child, he doesn't know what he's doing!" The man begs. The police man brings the stick across his face, then orders his men to bring the boy and his father to the centre of the market for a public execution. Some of the people have already started to scurry away. The police men throw the father and son to the ground and pull out there guns, that's when we move.
Rat Tails throws a dust bomb out into the market spreading confusion and chaos as the three of us run at the police men from behind and whack them over the head and in the back with a pipe. I run over to the father and son while Rat Tails and Snow finish off the other police men.
"Grab your family and run to the Desert Sector, there'll be men waiting along the outskirts there for you." I tell the man. He stares at me for a few seconds with a blank expression, then picks up his son and runs back to the apple stand, takes out a box with some money in it then runs into his house as the dust starts to clear, I can hear people coughing now. A few seconds later the man is out of his house with his wife, a boy who looks about my age, 15, who I am assuming is his other son, the little boy, and a baby girl in his arms wrapped tightly in a few blankets. They head off for the forest sector just as the dust clears. There is no sign of us, or the police men, just a few drag marks.
We continue to drag the unconscious police men to one of our hide outs which is only a few blocks away. There we leave the police men with a few of our soldiers and get a ride back with commander Legacy. Once we get back to our main base in the Desert Sector, we see the family that we helped escape from the police. General Max is walking around showing the base to a man in a suit. The place use to be an abandoned retail store, now weapons and fire arms are in the storage room and sleeping quarters are on the right side with the food on the left. The sleeping quarters weren't much, just a few peices of wood we found lying around outside built up into squares so they all looked like cubicals with one or two beds, and a small place for storing your personal items. I don't recognize the man in the suit with Max, so I ask around.
"Snow, do you know who the guy walking around with Max is?" I ask him.
"No idea. I've asked Rat Tails and Legacy who he is and they don't know either." He says, staring at the man with Max.
"Yeah? Well, no one else seems to know either. I'll ask him later tonight." I say to him just as the dinner bell rings.
"Thank god, I'm starved." He says as his grabs his stomach stomach. We walk over to the dinning room together.
Later that night, when everyone is supposed to be in their cubicles, I snuck out to find Max, who I know will be up.
As I'm walking, I can't help thinking about that family we saved today from the cops and how much it reminded me of when Legacy first saved me.

One day my younger sister, Sisonon, and I were walking the streets of downtown New York, (after world war four,) which were crowded with people who have seet up tiny tents and are trying to sell foodwhen we saw a group of older men in black trench coats walking towards us. We turned the corner to see if they would follow, sure enough they did. We were being followed, and we both new it. We turned onto what was once known as 23rd street and started running, we saw another group of men looking the exact same as the ones that were following us, who also started running once they saw us trying to get away. They were every where and we certainly didn't want all of them chasing after us so I grabbed my sisters wrist and dragged her down another ally. We found our selfs blocked by a wall so we hid behind a trash can when the men turned into the ally and shouted. "We know your in here!" That's when Legacy (although I didnt know her at the time) sprang out of no where and landed on top of one of the men, and took him out with a blow to the head. With a new target the remanding two men we left open on their left side, so I jumped into action and kicked one of the men in his rid cage, breaking three bones and leaving two others fractured. The last man turned back towards me and charged. Since I was small and inexperienced at the time I didn't have any defence, luckily Legacy got to him before he got to me. They both hit the ground and layed sprawled out on the ground, both trying to regain their control. Meanwhile the other guy I kicked in the ribs was getting up, so I grabbed the garbage can to my right, and smashed it over his head and made sure this time, he stayed down. I turned around to find Legacy smashing her fist into the other mans face while Sisonon was screaming behind the trash can we were hiding behind. Legacy got off the man once she was sure that he would stay down and turned towards me and my sister, who was still screaming.
"Would you get her to shut up please?" Legacy said with an irritated tone. Sisonon instantly shut up and stared at Legacy with fear in her eyes. Legacy looked down at me again.
"And what were you two doing out here by your self?'
"We're.....We're looking for food miss." I mumbled.
"And where are your parents little boy?" Legacy asked as she leaned forward.
"We.....We don't have parents miss. They're dead." I explained as i stumbled backwards infront of
