On the Run

Chapter 1

Trey is walking through a city, surrounded by people. He hears a loud BANG! Everyone around him doesn't even flinch, he does. He looks around trying to find where the sound came from. People start moving aside and a path in the crowd to open a direct view of a man holding a pistol. The man aims the gun at him. Another Bang sound rises.

Trey awakens breathing heavily. Once he catches his breath he says to himself, "wow. I need to lay off the late night coffee." He had been up late the past few nights designing a new bike. He gets up out of bed and gets dressed.

Once he is properly clothed to go to work, he goes out of his room and walks out to the kitchen. He then, grabs a box of fruity cereal. He makes his "fruity" breakfast of milk and cereal. He sits down in his chair beside his T.V. and turns it on. The news is on, as usual, he watches it every morning. The news anchor was talking about a "deliberate" car crash.When he turned on the T.V. this is what he heard, "... and in the front windshield, there was a hole. The police say, 'It was caused by a sniper rifle shot.' Investigators say that there is a slight possibility that it was from a rock that was launched from the tire of a car in front of them.They have further investigation to do on the subject. Keep in mind that this happened only about two and a half hours ago and the possible shooter has not been apprehended so they could still be out there. So, be careful, stay aware, and let the local crimestoppers know if you notice any suspicious behavior to help them catch the shooter. Again, be careful.

"In other news, the mayoral election is only a month away and many have seen the commercials. We will be giving you more information about the candidates than the commercials give...."

"Some people just don't understand that people would like to live, and ke normal lives." Trey says to himself as he finishes his cereal and turns off the T.V.. He gets up from his seat with a grunt, then rinses his bowl and sets it in the sink. He brushes his teeth and combs his hair. Then he walks to his front door, picks up his keys, puts on his shoes and walks out the front door.

After about 5 minutes of walking through the streets of New York, he finally reaches the bus stop. Normally he would just be sitting there by himself for 2-5 minutes depending on the traffic, but today there was another man. The other man looked very unfamiliar, he wore a light brown trenchcoat and sunglasses. "Why would he wear all of that? It is the middle of July and it is cloudier than normal," Trey thought to himself.

After sitting next to the strange man for 3 minutes with absolute silence between the two of them another man walked up to the bench where they had so awkwardly been sitting quietly. The new man looked as if he were going to a job interview for a really classy place because, he had his hair combed perfectly, a black blazer, and nice pants. The two men start talking immediately in a quiet tone of voice that he could hardly hear.

What he could make out was something about the White House. Then he heard something about a bomb. He didn't want to jump to conclusions so he just stopped trying to listen in. That was when the bus pulled up to the stop. "Finally," Trey said to himself. As he stood up the two men started getting on the bus. Then something fell out of the first man's bag, something small. The bus driver yelled at him, "Hey, you gettin' on or what?"

"Nah, I think I'll walk today," he replied.

"Alright... Suit yourself," the driver said as he closed the doors and started driving away.

Once the bus was gone he picked up the small object. It was a flashdrive. He didn't want to track down those two guys so he just put it in his pocket and started walking.
