Running Forever: Chapter 2

The plane was really nice, everyone smiling, being polite, just having the best of a simple flight. The stewardess was kind too. Haven't been treated so diligently for quite some time, considering being a hostage and beaten up every now and then. Back at the flight a felt like a normal person, a regular part of the society, though with a false pretense. Being given several hours of safety, it was reasonable to ponder over my tactics again, despite the fact that I managed to revolve it in less than a minute - it was a simple reason as well. I had no plan to think over. I became disillusioned with the circumstances and ordered a whiskey.
For the next hour I assured myself to keep muddling on, knowing that some of the best actions are the spontaneous ones.
Late in the afternoon the plane landed at Rio. The crowds of people surprised me but so did the heat - comparing Finland to Brazil is ludicrous. "So far, so good" I cheered up myself. All a man could need after a flight is a bath combined with a comfortable bed. Food? I guess I couldn't keep down my desire for a nice, delicious, fragrant meal, after all.
I did this at a small motel, just ten minutes away from the airport. Later on I would regret my actions, even though setting foot to the most unlikely street a man would choose, however I underestimated their tracking abilities.
Everything happened the next day, when I accidentally noticed two suspicious men wandering around my balcony with the looks of uninterested, bored locals. This was when I realized how massive their organization was. They managed to find a single man within a day, a well-trained man. These two are called the Lurkers, and are available in city, or town you could think of. Their only task is to find the person they need and report it. The next step is made by the Ground Chasers, however Sea Chasers and Air Chasers are available as well (I wonder whether a Space Chaser's existence will be detected). The Ground Chasers usually divided into groups of four people, which break into your home with the orders to knuckle you under, or kill you if you refuse and decide to play a hero.
I quickly went inside to pack my baggage but even this trifling detention gave the Chasers enough time to knock on the front door.

Running Forever: Chapter 1

I am not sure I will be able to survive this - maybe thinking of what I've done in my life would be a decent idea. This is pretty much what is worth doing at such moments, when your back hits the wall.
Who knows, I might even get off safe, even though it is a little doubtful whether I want it or not. Anyways, my future will soon be clear, for I am eaten up with this painful waiting. Being chased by the authorities, by the way, has its pros - it gives me a significant boost of confidence, a confidence that I am the man to constrain a whole international army, if not more, to go after me for a month now. So, I decided to keep a diary to read and be proud of when I get old.
It would be really my pleasure to continue writing but I have tasks to do. Being careless is inadmissible, although I have subconsciously began questioning the use of my actions - wasn't the price too high even for a man like me? If something is to stop me it won't be them, it will be my mind I guess, my constant reasoning. This is it - the breaking point is near - only time will tell how long I will keep up the pace and precision in my actions. I am anxious to see the results. I am sure they will be queer for me too.
I have a reservation to make now. The luxury of staying at one place for more than several days is impossible, that is why I have to keep moving. Otherwise I will simply taste some two hundred bullets with not only my mouth.
Hello, Rio! Always wanted to taste the life there.
