"I ready my finger on the trigger and pull. The shot sends shock waves through my body and I am slammed against the doors. His head slowly falls back on the chair. 
	It is at this precise moment that everything inside of me breaks. All I can think of is my first kill. All I can think of is the guilt. The sharp pierce of the bullet landing crisply on his cold frail neck. My head pounds and the sound of silence throbs and screams inside my ears. It digs its hands violently into my head and shreds apart my senses. It destructs my mind, bit by bit, pulling apart every thought and every memory. Thousands of images flash through my mind. My mother, my father, Teddy, Jude. My conscience slowly falls into a hubbub of bright, white thoughts. 
I can't breathe. I can't remember.  I can't think. 
I love you."

A crime, an act of rebellion, has been committed in the government capital and authorities have scanned the eye print from cameras recording in the location of the crime. But when they do so, two people make an appearance. Mara and Jude. Brought together by the most unexpected of circumstances, the two help fight the broken and breaking civilization together. But through all of this we still don't know... Who really committed the crime?
