[Poggio]

He lifted the last of the medical boxes on to his bike. Hovering around him was a darkly clad man. He held out his hand eagerly as Audrey fished over a wad of cash. The man greedily pocketed the money. Audrey simply rolled his eyes before hopping on his bike. He didn’t want anything to distract him from getting the supplies back to the mall. With in moments the only thing he heard on the on the road was the constant wheezing of his engine. The sunlight was going down to fast. With a final rev he pushed the bike up to its maximum speed. It wasn’t fast enough. Soon Audrey was swerving along the road trusting a small head light and the using the moonlight to guide him. His speed also decreased so that his motor would not make any suspicious sounds. At last his sanctuary was near. He saw the electric snake dance its way around the barbwire at the top of the fence. On post were a few armed silhouetted figures. He speed up getting the attention of many of them. Luckily they recognized the sound of the bike as a remotely human one.

A figure with a beret came up to the gate. His gun was aimed directly at Audrey. “Name and purpose.” He said inspecting Audrey with a keen glare. Though he had been through this route 100 times, they still did it every time he came to the gate and he dutifully answered. “Audrey, Pick up and delivery of medical rations and female health products.” A thin blue light scanned Audrey’s eyes after he spoke. In the males hands a small flat-screened device flashed with Audrey’s identification on it. The gates slowly parted allowing enough space for Audrey and his supplies to get through. As soon as he was on the other side his bike was taken away from him. “The messengers back, some one escort him to a screening room to make sure he’s not contaminated.” Audrey was prepared for this too, as they hustled him into a near by tent to draw his blood.
