Kara wakes up, in the back of a moving truck. She's with two other girls. One with short black hair and purple eyes, the other with very little brown hair. 


Kara: Hello?

Kara: Are you okay?

Kara: Hey, what are your names?

Violet: Lady stop shouting. I'm Violet, that's Jane. 

Kara: Violet, where are we going?

Violet: I don't know, I assume some abandoned building before we get sent off and used as slaves. 

Kara: Shit. 

Violet: It's alright, you're pretty, they won't be too hard on you. 

Kara: Was there a boy in here? 

Violet: A boy? Shit, how hard did they hit you?

Kara: For fuck sake. 

Violet: He must be super important if you're worried about him right now. 

Kara: Yeah, he was my, well is my, I don't know. 

Violet: Can't relate, full-blown lesbian here. 

Kara: Nice to meet you, I'm Kara. 

Violet: Cool name. 

Kara: Likewise. 

Violet: Where were you? Like before you were taken?

Kara: In this town, ran by a guy named, Dean. Before he knocked me out, some man in a uniform took my friend, said he caused the outbreak. 

Violet: Did he?

Kara: No, he couldn't have. 

Kara: How about you? 

Violet: Just eating, they caught me in the woods. 

Kara: You said something about slaves?

Violet: Do you not know?

Kara: Know what?

Violet: They were the army, but now they're Human Traffickers. They buy information on our whereabouts, then either Kill, Keep or Sell us.  

Kara: What the fuck?

Violet: Yeah, it's pretty fucked. 

Kara: How do you know all this?

Violet: Well, I've done this before, I escaped my last 'owner'. 

Kara: That's really shit you were in that situation in the first place, I'm sorry. 

Violet: Don't be. I guess I had a good run. 

Kara: We'll get out of here, my friends will break us out. 

Violet: I don't think you understand, there's a strong chance you'll be taken to another part of the country. You probably won't see them, or that boy again.

Kara: Oliver.

Violet: No, I'm Violet. 

Kara: That's his name. 

Kara: God he could be dead and I'd have no idea. 

Violet: Or he could be looking for you. 

Kara: I doubt that. 

Violet: Why?

Kara: Where we lived, I wanted to leave, he didn't. I guess I didn't like that so I pushed him away.
