Synopsis
Running through the streets in the dead of night Nat stops and takes a breather behind a dumpster. She is being pursued by Android Agents who want to retrieve a digital gathering device that Nat was ordered to steal hours before. Checking her gun she sees she has one bullet left.
With an Agent nearby Nat sees a Multistory Car Park and runs in for cover. Crouched and leaning against the cold concrete wall, the only sound to be heard is Nat’s elevated breathing. A car pulls up on the level below, a door slams shut and the sound of footsteps can be heard coming closer. The silence is broken as Nat’s phone starts ringing its her Mum.
“Shit!”
Nat drops the call immediately and now the Agent knows where to find her. Nat’s phone rings again drawing attention to herself and suddenly she comes face to face with her pursuer.
