I headed out for the day, not knowing how unsafe it was to be outside in the dark. Especially when there was a blackout. I checked my watch for the time, as it said '9:40 AM'. I looked as I noticed some people looking on as I walked past them.
"Hey... Isn't that the guy who we all thought was dead...?" A bystander asked her friends as they looked.
"I...Yeah. I forgot his name.." One of them said.
"Excuse me! Sir!" One of them came up to me as I looked. "Yes?" I asked softly.
"I'm sorry to intrude, but.. Are you that one Marine soldier who was thought to be dead in Damascus?" She asked as I nodded. "Yes, that's correct. What can I do for you?"
"You see, my name's Martina Barry. And those guys are Daisy Väinämöinen, Timothy Barry, and Angela Vargas. We were wondering if you could help us, since you seem to be an expert at technology."
"Okay."
"I heard about the blackout, and we were wondering if you could help get the power back on." Angela said softly as the three nodded.
"I'll see what I can do."
"Wait! Can we at least know your name?"
"My name is Dominic Braginsky. That's all you need to know." I said softly before going on my way.
