“Will, mate, she’s coming. What’s the plan?”
“I don’t know. Just be normal and walk past, I guess. And be cautious of your surroundings. If the time stops, we wouldn’t know when it had happened but let’s be ready for it to end.”
“Aye, Will, the time stopped. And Liz is here again. God damn it. When the True Zero stops, we rush to her and ask what happened, ok? If we do that, we wouldn’t be able to interact with Cassandra.”
“Ok.”
As the True Zero stops, they both go to Elizabeth and to their surprise; the council really likes them for some reason. As Liz says their position’s details, she says something a bit daunting.
“So, you are now 51-1’s scouts. Not just any scout but my sector’s scouts. There are 2 commanding officers in each district except 51-8 which has 1. As you do your job, you would occasionally come across 51-1-П’s bureau. If you see them, immediately report to me. Unless you’re on their sector, you won’t be hurt but if you are, you’d be dead before you escape to me. 51-1 specializes in human trafficking and as so, we tend to split the jobs – I and my bureau get the people as they sell and buy them. For now, only remember this: Get the hell away from the south”
“Understood, is there any orders? We would really like to get our first job. Even if it’s a team job, we would gladly accept it.”
Very worried Liz, “If you insist, there is one which needs 4. You’re sure you want to do it?”

*nod*
Even more worried Liz, “It’s a high risk, high reward order. And you’ll be sidelined to 51-5’s people.”
*nod*
Very, very worried Liz, “Are you sure about that?”
“Yes”
As the time arrives, William and Wilson go to District 5 and at a small apartment building near a big mall, the commanding officers of 51-5, 51-5-C and 51-5-M as well as one of the “mailmen” and our boys meet.
“So, who are we killing?”
“No-one, we’re here to retrieve one of our товар as well as other stuff like weapons, vans and some equipment.”
“In 5 minutes, we go in and try to eliminate or incapacitate the people who stole our stuff. Don’t give mercy and kill them. We’ll ship them to 51-6 if we capture some alive.”
“So, you’re the scouts from Liz, eh? Not someone I expected but you look fit enough. I’m Samuel by the way – the commanding officer of 51-5-C and in charge of intelligence gathering as well as hacking”
“1 minute”
“And that’s Marianne, the commanding officer of 51-5-M, in charge of killings and mail delivery. Speaking of, here is your permit and ID as well as your report cards”.
“In 5, we go.”
“Go!”
As they go in, Marianne throws a flash bang inside as Samuel cuts the power afterwards. Multiple guns’ shots can be heard from the dark.
“Ципка! Sam, give us power. We got them.”
“Aye, Will! How is the mailman? Is he good?”
“He is dead. Shot through the left lung and some ribs”
“I guess I have to deliver his as well now, eh?”
“Quite shocking, isn’t it? This was your first mission and you’re already greeted with your first death. We don’t really get emotional about the death of a comrade; people die fairly often in 51 and due to our policy - if you die, you’ll disappear from history. So, be careful and don’t die.”
After they retrieve the products, they go to 51-5 base and after that, William and Wilson go home. As they do, they think the same thing – live to the fullest and don’t die while in 51.
