"Wait no! Don't take me back!" you protest.

You tell him to look at your face, which only has a small reddish mark under your ear.

"Kid, that's nothing. Is that the only mark you have? You could very easily have gotten that mark anywhere, plus you have only been with your uncle for a couple of hours!"

Pissed, you turn and start running.

"Hey come back!" he yells as he runs after you. He is faster however. Right before he grabs you, you spin around abruptly and hold the scissors to your throat.

"TOUCH ME AND I'LL DO IT!" you scream.

"Kid, let's think this out..." he says as he slowly comes closer.

"I SWEAR I'LL DO IT!" you yell, moving the scissors higher while stepping back a few steps.

The cop realizes you're a kid, so he can't exactly use force and he decides to let you go for the moment. You take off running but the police car continues to monitor you're every move.

You try once again to produce your wasteful technology but again realize that you are still empty.

You take off running and make a quick sidestep into an alley, causing the police car to overshoot his turn. You run and jump up on some garbage cans, then a dumpster, and then onto a parked delivery van before jumping up onto a low roof. The police car reverses, tries to follow, and then has to stop with the van being in the way.

You hug a downspout and slide to the ground on the other side of the van and exit the other side of the alley. The police car will be here momentarily as he attempts to back out of the alley and go around the block. On this street, you see a dark closed clothing store, a bank with a 24/7 ATM, and a McDonald's.

You run across the street and hide behind the McDonald's dumpster. The police car stops at the end of the alley and the officer hunts around for a few minutes before leaving. You go inside McDonald's and get two cheeseburgers, fries, and a drink for $4.82.
