Two days...It's been two days and I still have no clue where my sister is. I swear I checked every hole in Nova City, everywhere and no one knows nothing. Then just as I'm about to call it a day and go home and brainstorm some more a dreadnaught (droids used for heavy security details) walks beside me and says "Tag you're it."

Now I may be all bad ass with mutants and crap but with a dreadnaught an unarmed...I don't think so.

"Where's my sister" I say even though every muscle in my body wants to hit the thing.

"Tag you're it." it says again.

I lose it and I hit it, a head shot...and you know what? Cyberparts and all...it still hurts like hell.

"Where the frag is my sister!" I try to pretend that my hand isn't hurting, like I'm not wondering if I broke it or not.

"New York" it says. "New York"

Frag me twice.

"New York? Why?" I try to relax but it just repeats it's first line.

"Tag you're it."

It's boot rockets activate and it soars off into the sky, I try to follow on foot but it loses me in less than a minute.

I go home and start prepping my gear. It seems someone has another game for the gamer. Three vid bots swarm beside me and a message is delivered.

"You're sister is somewhere in New York unharmed, if you can find her, all your debt shall be erased and you will each recieve 100 thousand creds, if you fail, she will become a slave doll in Mega City for the next five years, if you refuse...well if you refuse, we'll see how long she fares in New York on her own, she has already accepted these terms...will you?"

I look over the vid and notice her avatar sig, what choice do I have...it's just like the games...except I'm going solo and it's New York. I was gonna go anyways, this just gives them the right to vid and broadcast it..."I accept."

The vid droid ask for my avatar sig and the deal is done. The game: Rescue my sister from the place where they drop every type of mutated creature, killer robo and criminals and keep them in a fence 30 miles high...by myself, if I win we'll both be truly free, if I fail...I'm not even thinking of that as an option. Still one thing has me vexed..."Tag you're it." somehow I think there is more to that line than a child's game.

TO BE CONTINUED
