Prologue

I sat there by the safety fence on the roof, looking down at the busy city. I amused myself by observing the crowded streets as I ate my bagel. As I waited patiently while listening to my old mp3 player, the headset on my other ear buzzed loudly over my music. I paused the song and answered the radio. Answering it, I looked down at the busy city when I noticed them running through the streets. Squad 11 was running through the streets as thousands of black spheres chased after them.

I made sure my ear pieces would stay put and gathered my belongings into my bag. I stood on the safety fence and let out a long sigh in the cold. I jumped off the building and felt my body jolt with excitement. As I fell towards the ground, I could hear the Christmas carols get louder and louder over my rock music.

"Merry Christmas, Rachel," I said to myself.
