"Do the dogs bark at sun up?" Mr. Anjaro's harsh, low whisper crackles through your receiver.
"You never gave me a password for that, what?" Honestly this sounds like the type of trick you'd do if you were called by an unknown number.
"Good, good. Make it quick." Right. He's not one to fuck around.
"Look. I plan on doing a base assault on a nearby 'glow in the dark' individuals." You keep your eyes peeled to make sure nobody is nearby. You even do a quick mind radar and as far as you know, nobody should be listening. "I plan on doing it sometime around the Head meeting. The location is at-"
You proceed to rattle off where.
"Hm. I'll send some of my boys. Keep up the good fight. I'll ask you to bring me any tech you find there. I'll pay you handsomely." The line cuts off then.
Good. That should make things easier. You put your phone up and after a few moments struggling with your still healing leg, you exit your apartment building and onto the streets below.
https://youtu.be/iLhkMAkFWbg - SOMETHING IS WRONG
It's oddly empty outside. The snow covered streets and the buildings are the same as always but there's nobody outside. Huh. Odd, even this late and you normally have SOMEONE out here doing something. You already feel like something's off but...you'll worry about that later.
You half-stumble-half-walk through the empty streets of your district. The only sound echoing throughout the snow-coated streets is your own footsteps and breathing. None of the buildings have their lights on as you walk past them. Hell, even the streetlights aren't on.
Luckily, the moonlight above seems to be enough to let you wander freely without bumping into something or using your nightvision but it's still weird. Even weirder as you trip over a discarded satchel on the sidewalk. It's empty but that doesn't soothe your nerves either.
[UNSTABLE] THEY'RE GONE FOR A REASON. THEY'RE NOT DEAD, WE WOULD'VE SEEN BODIES.
[PERSON OF INTEREST] Can't be the spooks. They would've tried killing you, not a bunch of random people.
You eventually find yourself out of a seemingly abandoned, even before what happened to the rest of this part of your sub-district, apartment building. A stick figure hand with seven fingers is carved by the frame of the door. A faint memory of this symbol tells you that you had to carve this...but for what reason?
Entering the apartment building, there's nothing in the lobby but frost-bitten couches and a front desk with nobody sitting behind it. There is something that tells you that the cache is in this room. You head over to the desk and notice that there's an oddly colored patch on the wall right behind the front desk's chair.
Slamming your non injured foot into it, it crumbles immediately, revealing what you're looking for.
CACHE REVEALED!
