RE: SteemShort #1 - collaborative story project

in #adsactly7 years ago

It wasn’t everyday that Eli had a call-out. She had just logged on when the live videos began streaming. The code word CIT-FLAG had been activated only five minutes ago.
The videos show the assailant is surrounded, he looks like the usual problem, high on the blue powder that has been flowing through the streets of Barcelona since it became popular in the 2040s. It looks like the situation is under control but she will soon be there to see for herself.
Eli is a Resolution Assistant, a higher ranking of the Citizen Police. She had gone through the training, as everyone else does, from her 8th birthday. In the first year of moral and protection classes, her ability to negotiate was noticed and she gained equity. She now earns more than the monthly living tokens for the calls-outs.
She sees him in the distance as soon as she arrives at the scene. She hasn’t seen him since he left her apartment last Friday morning. She doesn’t trust him, but mostly she doesn’t trust herself around him.
But he may be her only hope, the biggest threat to the Civilian Police is about to surface, and she needs allies.
