“Sir, we have her cornered in an alley. She keeps trying to Shift, but I guess gets afraid when she realizes that there are more MICAW agents on the roofs above her to keep her from flying away.” A young MICAW agent said as he stopped in front of me. “We can’t get close enough to her. Permission to use a tranq dart on her?”

“Not quite yet, Jory. I want to try to talk to her first. Take me to her.”

We walk a couple streets down and turn right, then walk a little further until we come up on a group of MICAW agents standing in a semicircle with their guns pointed into an alleyway.

“Guys, I have the Council member here. He wants to talk to her before we try anything.” Jory said to the group, then once they moved to leave a small opening, he turned back to me. “She’s all yours, sir.”

Walking forward, I looked into the alleyway and towards the young woman. Then stepping passed the line of agents, I put on a smile.

“Hello ma’am. I am Council Member Jimmer Stone. I want to ask you a few questions if you will allow?” I said in a soft, placating voice. When she didn’t respond and just stared at me warily, I continued. “I realize that we may be scaring you, and I apologize. But we really need your help with something, since you are the only person we have found alive from any gang in the area.”

The MICAW agents behind him started murmuring, letting their whispered voices carry to the woman.

“Of course she’s the only one alive, they all kill each other before anyone can come near a straggler.”

“Not like they deserve anything else, really.”

“… Bloody freaks if you ask me.”

“Don’t pay them any attention, miss. They’re just trying to get under your skin.” I said. “Now, if you don’t mind. All of your friends are turning up dead. Even a lot of people from other gangs are turning up dead as well.”

The woman's fierce eyes narrowed at me as I talked.

“We simply want to know who the new drug lord is, and where we can find him.” I said calmly, “It will help us to help you keep the rest of your friends alive. The crime rate in the city has risen far too much recently, and we can’t keep up with it to keep more people alive. We don’t want to have to look into mandatory lockdowns.”

The woman glanced at the officers behind me and then looked back. Giving me a level stare. After a few moments, she spoke.

“I will never throw my people under the rule of your kind.” She said acidly. “We always end up disappearing.”

I held out my hands. “I assure you, that will not happen. I simply want to find the new drug lord and end the rise of crime that has happened here. It’s the best thing for your people. Along with the other residents of the city.”

“Levi has given us the tools we need to ensure we all can live a happier life.
