Ringing sounds in my ear. I squint at the phone screen. 5:36AM!

«Rise and shine. Your first task is ready. Get up.»
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf49FlRCdSs
Ugh.... I wanted to go back to sleep, but there are lives on the line. So I reply.
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qyF82wl4x
«What do you want?»
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r7jReOe5U
«Read carefully. You're not to question my directions, even if you don't understand something. You're to exit the school from the cafeteria emergency exit. Walk a mile south of the door, to a store called Brandsmart USA. Take the backpack next to the door with you.»
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywGymk42Dw
Umm?
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZMyiH1WkL
«After that, what do I do?»
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEEg7BbzHL

630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ0A9mIqPJ
«Get there first. Then you'll receive more instructions.»
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4QLG9d4sp
I'm scared... It's dangerous at this time in this area... But I risk my life anyways. Wait...
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvrIVyNXti
«What if I don't make it alive? What happens to Lawrence?»
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tqR6dqnLe
«Then he'll see you in Hell soon.»
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0UuMdzu9P
I get up from my chair, shaking of fear. What if it's a trick? A trap? I can't care either way.
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgUsYdyv6g
I grab the bag and open the door of the lounge slowly, unaware if I'm being watched.
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijfr4LLeXI
I head towards the cafeteria. It seems almost haunted in the darkness... The space between me and the door seems to stretch!
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvHthjTd4a
I push the door open, and it's open! Why didn't I think of this earlier?
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB4FELZPkB
My thigh vibrates as I receive a text.
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju1rjC7NGW
«Don't think of running away. Somewhere on your body is a tracking device, so I can and will hunt you down.»
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0aYRjVzyo
The air brushes coolly against my bare skin. It's so creepy on the street... The crickets chirping, the newspaper tumbling down the sidewalks, the flickering lights...
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE65bOaGDyb
I walk for what seems like forever... Finally, I see that I'm approaching Brandsmart, a big store full of electric and electronic things: from smartphones to fridges.
Before I can even ask what my task is at this time, I get a text.
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve4HmAOuvV
«Now break in.»
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLXAdxarvu
...Break in...?
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuLtvh5qvc
«WHY? I'm going to go to jail! Why do you want me to break in?»
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWSXTgBFWZ

«Did I not make it clear that you are not permitted to question my motives?»
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUEXsBwmkH
Ugh. I'm screwed. I look around for a rock or something, and I find only see one... Do or die... LITERALLY.
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrdTKobSlh
I bend down, trembling, to retrieve it. I look around to see if there are people watching, but I see no one.
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoLxAqbCnJ
I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 1... 2... 3...
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2e8wdAMEo
Life sloooows down. I throw the rock at the display window and I hear the ear-splitting shatter, and the ringing alarm, killing my ear.
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9QemmTvxk
Little did I know that Brandsmart has night guards. And this one looks pretty merciless.
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WJfoegY0g
"Little girl! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" The huge, muscular man yells. Right when I'm about to run for my life, I feel the buzz. Damn it!
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRfJRQM51j
I quickly run from the guard while trying to read the text.
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUPtraTbdS
«Do not run away from the store, or you'll have failed. Of course, he will be a hurdle, but you must jump over this obstacle.»
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gylOl69yS
I stop dead in my tracks. I look up from the phone and turn back. No movement. Where is the guard?
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRPQmE0Qf7
I turn my head to face what's looming in front of me, and it's the guard. With a bat! Luckily, I dodge the hit. He outran me, snuck up on me and then tries to murder me?! What was he trained for, war?!
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TKrOzZ3Kn
Before I can even ask Luke what he wants me to do, he tells me. I look up at the guard, who's running towards me. Let me just check what Luke says...
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqQr34b7dm
«Kill him.»
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkdTgZCuwB
No... I'm not a murderer... I can't! To take the life of a guy who's just doing his job (although trying to kill innocent people is no good job)?
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqa1RDPEy1
But... It's for Lawrence... And me!
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Um3EQWdhh
As if I have all the time in the world... I get up... Slooowly... Not even realizing that—630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKdCLayE2e
