"Uh, don't remind me. That was embarrassing."
"We really can't do much, we can do some small scale operations here in Capital City, but we can't change the economy of all that area."

"My name is Erika." I say as I step out of the shadows. I am wearing a grey uniform very similar to the Nazi uniform I wore when I was Zwei, except the insignia is Red Infinity. "I have no memory of you, just of lust for you. I look at you and try to imagine why I would want to mate with you against your will, and I can't see why. Yes you are attractive, but not that attractive!"

"Hmph." I said as I looked to Lady Blue. "I think we should make a protection, like a barrier of some sort in capital city. I saw on the news what happened to Helsiniki. I wouldn't want my precious mansion to be destoryed." I said to her.

"We should worry about making some free factories first. Ones that we can profit from. There is no sense spending money unless we know we can make some back."

I clear my throat.
"Well Erika... I wish I could say the same thing. And I wish you had those thoughts earlier."

"I was not what I am now. If it helps, our son is doing very well." I say as I pull up a stool and sit down. My eyes glow fiercely as I study his response, wanting to both hurt and help him at the same time.

"We have plenty of natural resources left. In this region alone we have approximately 25% of the world's supply of soft coal, and nearly 80% of that of hard coal. Mind you that since the invention of nuclear fusion soft coal sales have dropped to almost nil, but hard coal sale is still profitable. Thanks to the Forest God we have large supplies of lumber and furnurature grade timber, as well as fuel-grade wood scrap. We have limited deposits of most primary metal ores, but not the facilities to refine them. That is where Dinari's factory plan comes into play..."

"I say raise taxes." I said to her as I put my file away and now light green eye shadow. My compact mirror was still out.

"The territory we reside on has these things, but you have to remember that all of the world's reasources are owned by Red Infinity. We only have as much as we can remove without them noticing."

i hear some people talking and glance in their direction, i could barely make out the form of a young girl, but she was too far off to really notice me unless she was staring at me, i sigh and look down, the guard was getting up behind me, he grins slightly as he pulls out a knife and starts towards me, i turn and his knife plunges into my stomach, his hand goes up to grab my shoulder as if he was trying to drive the knife even further in, he continuals forward and his momentum forces me out of the cell, i land outside of the cell the knife still embedded in my stomach
i glare at him and he blinks, not really knowing how i had passed the door, i hurry and stand before he could move and kick him into the cell, the knife wiggles free from the now, large gash in my stomach, blood pours from the wound and i pull the knife out as i close the door. "thanks.. fool...". i turn and start running towards the entrance, only stopping after i look at the hallway inwhich meg's room was, i glance at it and i seem to be frozen inplace.
i turn and seem to disappear from the guards view, appearing outside of her door. i sigh and the door opens, i walk in and glance around, her room smelled pleasant compared to the cells, i could smell her scent all over it and couldnt help but to smile. i walk towards a desk and see a piece of paper and a pen. i sigh and pull it free of the stack and start righting
Meg, seeing how that if i stay, you will be in serious trouble, i have decided to leave. you will be the only thing i miss of this hell hole, and i am sorry that you feel that way towards me, truely i am. I am not worth risking your life over, and you deserve someone alot better then me. so keep this hidden feeling, if it is truelly, there, hidden.
I care for you greatly, and rather not have your purged because of me, i still am blind to as how you could hold any feelings towards me, other then hatred from pushing your torturing nature aside.
to you, i bid farewell, hopefully i will get to see you again sometime, but we will be enemies, since i have no desire to be a member of red infinity, and never will.
So Auf Wiedersehen, Megan, Bis herum,
Ps:... as i have said before, i do agree with that one rebel, you are very cute, dont ever lose your emotions, despite what i said, they are important.

I started thinking about the situation. I have a gift. If I concentrate I can come up with something great. I close my eyes putting all my beauty supplies away. "What we can do is start rebuilding the old and shattered ones. We need a new city. Out with the old in with the new." I said.

I sit down on the floor, and cross my legs. f**k I could use a cigarette...
"That's good... It'd be nice to be more involved in his life than simply see him from a distance on the opposite side of a fence... Although I somehow don't think that's going to be possible."

"We need to be realistic Paris. We can't just build a new city. Even my wealth has limits. We really have to think small."

"And how in the blue f**k do you raise taxes above the 98% that Red Infinity already imposes on these people? First we need to get them a decent income, and actually DROP their taxes to a reasonable figure." I turn to Dinari. "Your point is valid. We should probaly keep our private mining activities limited to anthracite (hard coal), since it is mined deep underground and is therefore hard to quota. Red Infinity buys it at $120 per ton for domestic heating, even at that rate we're making $60 per ton. That's one million dollars profit every 17,000 tons, which is mined every week at the Pennsylvania complex. We could build a new factory every two months if we wanted to."

"I am being realistic. We can do it little by little. But other people in the city must contribute as well." I said to them. *I am actually pitching in.* I though.
