CF \|
CF \|
CF \|
CF \| This should never have happened.
CF \|
CF \| You've told yourself that a thousand times. You are our most intrepid
CF \| agent. If anyone could retrieve the Gorreven Papers, you could.
CF \|
CF \| The Gorreven Papers! To think of them was unspeakable; to speak of
CF \| them was unthinkable.
CF \|
CF \| You took all the precautions you could have taken. Some places just
CF \| aren't built to be broken into.
CF \|
CF \| Or out of.
CF \|
CF \| You have become intimately familiar with the four bare walls of your
CF \| cell and the dirty yellow light bulb that glares down from the
CF \| ceiling. Your cell has no door, but an alert guard blocks the doorway
CF \| twenty-four hours a day—or at least as far as you can tell. You have
CF \| to sleep sometimes. They leave the guard in a doorless doorway so that
CF \| he will constantly remain alert. No napping on the other side of a
CF \| supposedly secure steel door. It isn't surprising. If you had wanted
CF \| to keep yourself prisoner you would have done the same.
CF \|
CF \| You were brought in here blindfolded after a good beating. It gives
CF \| you headaches just trying to remember any of the turns you took on the
CF \| way in. But now you're on the inside of this complex. On the same side
CF \| of those electric fences as the Gorreven Papers. If you can't get out
CF \| of here with the papers, you may as well not go out at all, because
CF \| your life won't be worth a fake dollar bill. None of our lives will.

CF \|
CF \| Bare Cell
CF \| A dirty yellow light bulb glares down from the ceiling. A dingy,
CF \| ill-maintained cot with a thin and moth-eaten mattress sits against

CF \|
CF \| It is a piece of the cot's frame, about the length of your hand,

CF \|
CF \| You give the piece of metal a hard yank and twist and it breaks off

CF \| incriminating evidence in your other hand. However, the sound alerts
CF \| the guard, who whirls around with his gun drawn. "What was that
CF \| noise?" he demands.
CF \|
CF \| "I hurt my hand on the cot," you grumble, holding up the hand you just
CF \| used. Fortunately it is sporting a small trickle of blood, incurred
CF \| when the metal came loose too suddenly. "I wanna doctor." It is of
CF \| course the very last thing you want but it is important that you
CF \| project an image of whining helplessness.
CF \|
CF \| He snorts and returns his gun to its holster. "You're barely important
CF \| enough to be kept alive. Forget the doctor." You wonder what he has
CF \| been told. It is true that you are too dangerous to be kept alive at
CF \| much expense.

CF ] Bare Cell
CF \|
CF \| > HIT GUARD
CF \|
CF \| You come up swiftly behind him and plunge the sharp metal into the
CF \| back of his neck, through his carotid artery and out the front of his
CF \| throat. This prevents him from screaming but not from fighting back.
CF \| You hang onto his back, waiting for him to expend his last few seconds
CF \| of life; he fires his gun twice but both shots are wild. You are safe.
CF \| In a moment more he is growing cold in a pool of his own blood.

CF \|
CF \| You take off the pair of prison coveralls.
CF \|
CF \| You struggle into his uniform. You are roughly the same height, but he
CF \| was considerably larger at the middle, so the uniform bags somewhat.
CF \| By tightening the belt, you look passable. It is unfortunate for the
CF \| guard that it had to come to this but that is what happens to
CF \| obstacles. You can still smell his odor on the collar and armpits.
CF \| Blood is spattered down the front which is very annoying but there
CF \| isn't much you can do about that.
