Leaving the backyard... Leaving home...

[BugLight]

The rain rolled easily off the trenchcoat and hood that hid his body from the elements. He faced down the entire length of the walk. Looking back just for a second at the apartment he had decorated in hopes of entertaining the family he was now leaving.

"One bad apple" he said with a sigh. Thats all it takes to ruin the whole system. One overpowering voice, one action going to far, or just one unkind word.

He passed though the door that was clearly marked Backyard 4. It was real this time and he knew it. West Athen just wasn't as pretty as it used to be anymore.... and it hurt.

Chris ran to the backyard, hoping to catch Hunter before he was gone for good. He was too late, he hadn't gone fast enough. He looked around Hunter's flat, but it was obviously empty. He had almost given up when he saw the muddy bootprints, almost washed away by the rain. A spark of hope and he was off following the prints. They went out the backyard... Left, past The Cup... and... abruptly stopped. In front of the Grid Terminal.

So it was true... he was gone and he wouldn't be coming back...
