"Sarah?" the police officer called after her. Sarah ran with every bit of adrenaline rushing through her veins. "Sarah, wait! We want to help you!" She wanted to shout to them, "Just leave me alone!" but she didn't want them to follow her, so the 12 year old remained silent, hoping that with a few twists and turns she could lose them. Pain began to throb in her legs, but she did not think to stop. Where had the night gone wrong? What did she do that made the man want to hurt her? She had been quiet. Yeah, that's it. She should have said something. But, she had been hesitant. Why? Her mind snapped back to reality. She raced on through the streets of New York, wondering just for how much longer she could flee. Then, when she thought her heart would explode, she jumped into an alleyway, and hid in a small dug-out that was almost out of sight. She heard foot steps, the heavy thumping of shoes not far from her hide-out. Sarah waited until the foot steps went away, and then stumbled into the open, out of breath.

After a few moments rest, she caught glimpse of a man with the strangest looking gadget over his eyes. Getting up, she pulled herself together, trying to be as casual as possible, and then walked over to him. "Excuse me?" Sarah asked politely. The man turned to her. "What exactly is that on your head? Some sort of virtual reality thing or something?"

"What this?" the dark man asked, putting to what lay over his eyes. "Oh, no." he explained. "This is called a visor. It helps me to see. Now, I don't mean to be rude, but I really have to go." He turned and walked away briskly, and dropped a small pin he was wearing. Sarah picked it up.

"Wait! Mister, you forgot..." it was too late. He was out of sight. She shrugged, and was in the process of trying to figure out what it was, when all of the sudden she couldn't move. She had no idea where she was. And then, just as suddenly as the sensation came over her, it stopped. The girl fell to the ground. Only, it wasn't the ground she fell on. It was, well, a floor. Sarah looked at her surroundings. She found herself staring into the eyes of a man, before she began to get dizzy, and passed out.
