"Hurry up before he spots us Jaina!" I looked up woozily and shook my head. The guard by the fence was still looking around but his eyes were quickly nearing our area. I stood up into a crouched position and held Rick’s, my friend, hand.

I guess this is a good place to explain why we were acting so suspicious; we live in the year 3055. My name is Jaina, yea that’s it, just Jaina my last name was lost with my last family plus they never told me. Where is the rotten family that would be so horrible as to never tell their daughter her last name the truth is I don’t know. You see I’m an unwantable I was tossed out on the street because…because…Well it doesn’t matter all you need to know is I was stripped of my genetically-enhanced body and kicked out of the glorious city of Eden ,where everyone is born then genetically altered perfect, into the Slums as the people who live here call them. If you live in Eden you call it a safe and secure place for people who don’t deserve the High mansions or food that you ask a hole in the wall to provide or transportation or electricity for that matter. All you have in the slums is your cubby hole and the gang you work for and if you don’t have a gang well you basically have nothing because they take it from you or you get cancelled.

The reason I now was hiding from the probing eyes of the male guard with bright brown hair and a blue robotic uniform that covered his face except for the eyes was we were trying to sneak into Eden and as crazy as that sounds we had done this hundreds of times before. The gang we were in, the bangers had ordered us to go steal anything that could be sold from the Edenites. He had told us to do it before because we were the best at getting in and out without getting caught and raising alarm. We had been in the tree looking to see if any police bots (or Po-bots as we called them) were around but I lost my footing and fell. The next thing I knew I was laying on the ground with this splitting headache and Rick was crouched over me swearing and begging for me to move.Once we had established I had no broken bones and could walk we moved behind some shrubs.

“Should we go back” asked Rick staring at the progress of the red eyes on the Po-bot

“do you feel like being cancelled today”, our gang leader, Brix, was notorious for killing people that didn’t bring stuff back from a mission. No we both agreed and decided to make a run for it “ONE…TWO…THREE…GO” I yelled as we dashed to make our entry…
