Chapter 1:

Where all starts... somehow

The girl that i met online


Please, I need someone to tell me. Who, in their right mind, could leave wide open a window in mid-July! Now, this room is the closest thing to a gym elevator with 30 people sweating in it...

Well yeah, it's me, I'm the one who doesn't think about my own safety of my own room. Aaand, for those who doesn't know, in Spain you better find cover in summer, or maybe you will be ended up calcined...

After this magisterial start of the day, my friend messaged, telling me about a new role play server from a known game.
Saying from my experiences, all I did was to crown myself as the döner kebab king, so you can say that I didn't have that epic and amazing adventure as so many lived.

At the end of his message he kindly pointed the fact that in this server if your character dies you have to restart from the very beginning so risking your life wasn't an option, this time I wanted it to be different, being in a mobile fast food truck spreading love to everyone I meet in the form of a roll of meat at the beginning can be the next blockbuster of a superhero, but I wanted something more... Dramatic, you could say.

So I started with something basic, a new-boy in the city who has nothing to mind about all the crime and want just to know the most basic and well-earned job for a guy who doesn't know one's ass from one's elbow... I'm starting to scare myself about why does it sound so familiar...

Behold my eyes, a new but known city expands to the unlimited. Tall buildings, beautiful gardens plagued by colorful flowers and a loving smell of fuel mixed with cold air greets me. 
After that, a near convenience store crossed my mind, from other servers I knew it was a nice job to start, and maybe I could meet some people to help me out a bit. So I rushed the small store at the end of the street and took the job in less than 1 minute, wish it was that easy in real life too.

While saying no more than beautiful words to my friend for not coming with me in my first day in this terrifyingly enormous city, my first customer enters the store!

With desire and joy I greet him, but didn't get the same for respond, it was even more, a gun was pointing straight to my head from a guy who hardly seen some sun in a few days, asking in a not very kind way for some money. 
I would gladly gift him some... I don't know, some fresh chips or maybe a drink, I don't mind really, and even less when that pistol doesn't take its eyes from me, but no, this guy has clear thoughts about what he wants, something really enviable I must say.

Quickly, just like if I have been working in there for years, I reach for the cash register and start taking out the money, maybe, in a very slowly way for my own safety because the robber responded to me with a warm slap with his gun making me move back a few inches
"Let me do this!" Said to me loudly

While with one hand keeps taking the money, even the pennies, the other one holding the gun keeps aiming at me, restraining me to move an inch. What were a few minutes, to me happened in seconds and the sound of the police starts taking over the silence, it seems that someone on the street saw the scenery and call the cops.
Thanks to my good luck, the armed guy decides to take me as a hostage before the police arrives, and as a soul followed by the devil starts mounting a barricade made of a few shelves and closing the windows with... bags of chips... Of course there has to be something odd about all this!

By the time, two cars of the police arrive and surround the store, screams to my restrainer calling for his attention.
"We have the zone surrounded, you better leave with your hands in the air" says the main officer.
"I-I have a hostage" pointing at me, the voice of the thief trembles.
The cops shuttered for a moment before saying anything
"Alright, let's get to an agreement, we let you leave if you give us the hostage

Before what's going to happen, I must clarify some things, first the convenience store was in a crossed street with a wall of bushes that would be the perfect camouflage for someone who wants to enter inside the store while being barely notice, and second, the police are blind...
Yeah, that's what happened. A girl with her headphones and a careless look on her wanted to maybe come to buy something because I highly doubt she was the spec ops, and entered the store.
The police notices late and start shouting to each other: "Who let that girl enter!?!", "Really nobody saw that?!?"
The robber too, he gets stunned a few seconds trying to process what's happening and after realizing it grabs the girl's arm and bring her to the ground; "Now you are gonna help me too, go with him" says.

The girls freeze and later, she gets next to me with her arms behind her head, (HOW SHE DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT'S HAPPENING?!)

The negotiations continue for a long time, time that I get to talk a bit with the girl who clueless enters the middle of a crime scene! 
Her name's Amy, she's new in the city too and was looking for a job and maybe meeting someone when she suddenly got involved in this.

And here we are, two kindly souls waiting for a not that kind robber with no intention of leaving in good terms to get to agree with a couple of blind cops, how could my first day be better? Well, it could, my dinner is getting cold!
