Introductory Arc Episode 1

"Well this story takes place in the city of Prionier. It is about a boy who lost his father at the age of 3 and was totally orphaned on his ninth birthday when his mom died at a lab accident. Having no family to speak of the, although Child Care introduced him to foster homes but he never felt any attachment there. Therefore he kept jumping from one foster home to others until he requested the child care in sending him to a boarding school which wasn't that big a problem due to the fortune left by his parents. Once 15 he started living in his family home after being permitted by the headmaster and the higer personnel of the child care center. Nowadays he lives alone and works part time in a software repairs shop......well you must be thinking who am I? what you weren't, well atleast some of you were or so I think..... worry not you will come to know me just in a little bit, since after all I am the MVP of this story but leave that part let's start with the story now. It begins with our mc sitting in the metro on his way back home"

Sitting in the train as Asher looked at his watch he thought" Huh! 12:45 already, even if it's a metro it still seems to be running late by 15 minutes. Well not that it's such a big bother, but it seems I'll have to wait till the repeat telecast at 19:30. Well that's the station, better get close to the door or else I'll be minced into a ham by the crowd. Ooh! That's right, the hard drive, if it gets lost in the train then Ryu's gonna kill me. Better take a look at it while I still have the chance"

As the train stoped, no sooner the gates opened, hordes started boarding it without even letting the passages out. A jostle of the station rugby began among the passages who were trying to get out against those trying to get in. As Asher snucked out of the crowd he saw a scene just like one out of a live action movie.

A man dressed in black wearing a face mask slid of the corner of the escalator while being chased by a group of what seemed like high ranking government security officials. While the officers fully armed kept chasing the man without having a care for the civilians there which seemed rather odd but in the same place never did the man in black attempted the slightest to to a hostage. With this the station sank in chaos and panic as masses tried to avoid the situation while some started making videos most probably streaming it live.

The man in the run was like a phantom, even in the crowded station he moved among the masses like a flee while the armed guards bumped into the crowd every now and then. While the guards warned the man to stop or they shall shoot both the man and the officials knew that shooting in the crowded station was always off the table.

As the man jumped over the ticket counter and almost wall ran the station security guard's office he banged into Asher who stood almost stunned at the place startled by the thrilling sight. While Asher was thrown back onto a middle-aged couple by the collision the man also almost lost his balance but regained it in a split of second.

As the officers neared the ticket booth the man jumped over the train's roof and evaded our visibility.

It was a good thing that none among the civilians were hurt the securities at the ticket counter panting and bathed in sweat talk to someone over the bluetooth about how the target evaded their blockade zone and was entering the main street.

As the situation started receding people made a sigh of relief while some were frustrated as their live stream lost the boasting midway.

After resting for a little bit the guards started moving out while on the other hand the couple helped Asher up openly showing their concern about him.

After checking for injuries he thanked the couple and was on his way back home.

The situation outside the station was also quite unusual as three black cars and a van was standing near the exit with some heavily armed guards and the men Asher just saw in the station with one of them circling a car and asking for a report after every second on his bluetooth.

Entering the main road while on the pavement walking his way back home Asher thought "Will they succeed in catching that man, infact who was that asshole, damn bastard he jolted me elbowed my shoulder quite hard, aah! it's still aching. Was he really of spy or just a B-grade thief or maybe he was an assassin who knows, but still I've to admit it was quite thrilling to behold, damn it gave me goosebumps man.'

Back on his couch near his computer as he popped open the cola can fresh out of freezer Asher said it out loud," Ahhhh! man, now isn't this life, now let's see what viruses has that Ryu boy got int his hard drive this time, damn it's like a told him a hundred times not to give his drives to those punks for downloading porn but who listens to whom. Oh ****! what do I care since I am the one getting the money for fixing these."

After taking it out of the bag Asher jacked the drive to his cpu and started working on it, as he started the booting process he was fazed as he saw an unexpected looping code blocks access to the drive, good for him he was unexpectedly brilliant at cracking and as he went on he felt dizzy, while the loop was almost undone Asher fainted from his couch bashing his head on the computer.

....... Inside suite 722, Hotel Camaron.......

First Lieutenant:"Sir Case File-XXC708#, Lamanz Carmile is dead. He was ran over by a skidding truck while on the run on Lane 23."

Colonel:"Lieutenant was the package retrieved?"

First Lieutenant:"No Sir! the target didn't have the package on him."

Colonel:"Any leads on the package Lieutenant?"

First Lieutenant:"Yes Sir! the target was last seen to make body contact with a boy in the station."

Colonel:"What are the chances of the boy being associated?"

First Lieutenant:"Sir the target collided with the boy in the station and that's the only thing we know up until now and that's the closest thing to a lead we have."

Colonel:"You mean we have nothing on the package, Lieutenant don't take the priority of this situation lightly, don't you know it is a matter of international security!"

First Lieutenant:"Sir don't concern yourself sir! I'm on it, I assure you we will find the package before late"

Colonel:"So do I hope Lieutenant otherwise none of us will be able to elude the crisis."
