14 2780-Space City Iron Lake 044165 -Civilian Weapon (2/2)

but how to look for someone in such congested streets, that was the question.

Iron lake had a population of at least 8 million people, that was more than the ancient city of Hong Kong China.

It was a good thing no one could drive through the streets of the iron lake Base, or they would have no hopes whatsoever.

Zatland remained silent thinking up a plan. He realized the weapon being a civilian gun, would be a hindrance to the user in many certain areas of the city.

He took out a map of places and located the more civilian filled areas.

Then he further narrowed down the search by hypothesizing possible motives.

He remembered when he bumped into the man.

the gun wasn't the only reason he thought the guy could be a military member, the way he moved seemed trained.

He narrowed it down to areas of nearby stores with large amounts of cash and residential areas of civilians. He knew that a trained person wouldn't try to rob a bank or an atm, only a civilian would believe they could get away with that.

If he was right, he might catch the man at one of these spots trying to do something bad, if he was wrong.

at least he tried his best, the man couldn't cause too much Collateral damage anyways. in Iron lake base.

If he caused a rampage in any of these areas, it would be someone else's problem to stop. Zatland was just playing a game of damage control, and mostly out of curiosity. It wouldn't take them roughly one hour to explore.

Zatland and Zion jogged through those areas, one a public park, then some large shopping centers and malls, and a few residential areas and apartment complexes In a five-mile radius. Nothing was found, not even a trace of the man with the gun.

Zatland was beginning to give up hope of finding the man, noting since when were his calculations ever so accurate in finding a person? Was he too overconfident?

...

Then suddenly in front of him passed a person who was similarly dressed like the man he saw earlier. The same shoes, same hat, and a dress coat. But a different face.

Was this a coincidence, that the two men within the same ten-mile radius were wearing the same outfit...

possible, but might as well follow him to be sure.

Zatland took Zion along, and they trailed the new person. Zatland began to notice some telltale signs that this person was scanning his surroundings as he walked forward.

Even Zion began noticing this and became serious, they were from a military academy, part of their training involved noticing suspicious behavior.

They fell back slightly, as they followed from a further distance.

They didn't want to allow the perp to notice them.

...

not long later they watched as the man entered an insurance company.

The boys exchanged looks with each other, before getting close to the building and gazing through the window. They saw the man pull something out of his coat before disappearing down a hall.

Zatland caught a quick glimpse of the edge of the object. It was the same color as the civilian model gun. He slowly let himself in, with Zion trailing behind him as they entered the building.

They entered the hallway... just in times to witness an execution.
