    "Sir. We have activity on the edge of sector one to the north."

    "What kind of activity?"

    "Runners, sir. Escapees. Being chased by a small platoon of Northern gang soldiers."

"Interesting. How many soldiers?"

"An estimated 20."

"And runners?"

"Two."

"Just two? Being chased by 20? This must be serious. Monitor them closely."

"Um, sir?"

"Yes?"

"We have reason to believe one of the runners is one of our own."

"What makes you think that?"

"The two just split up. The bulk of soldiers followed one and not the other. And, we have lost an agent to this particular gang before."

"What's going on now? Are they still chasing the one?"

"..............no. The dot representing that person has stopped. The soldiers have switched targets to the other one, who is headed straight towards our outermost wall."

"That can't be a coincidence."

"No sir. What should we do?"

"....."

"Sir?"

"Call together task force one. I'll send them out to greet them. Make sure they're well armed. I will personally supervise the mission."

"Yes sir."

"Anything else?"

"No sir."

"Good work."

"Thank you sir."

"Call in the task force. I'm going to go get ready."

"Yes sir."

President Cairo popped his knuckles.

"Now this," Cairo grinned, "is going to be fun."
