Life During Wartime...




Okay, just stay calm. You prepared for this. Oh damn. They’re at the rear entrance too…
Follow procedure. Ditch the legends in the fireplace - passport, credit cards, driver’s license - everything.

How the hell did they find me?!

Must’a got sloppy. Caught my face on the CCTV cameras. Showoff. Idiot.

Damndamndamndamndamn.

Come on man. Wipe the drives. Discs in the fireplace. Come on, you know this stuff. The clock is ticking. Six flights of stairs isn’t that much. They're almost here.

What was that?

Move! Move! Move! Out the fire escape. Down…No! Up and over! You practiced this! No choppers - good. The escape route's clear.

Don’t run. Don’t draw attention to yourself. You’re just a face in the crowd. Nobody knows you and nobody cares. Just get to the drop, leave the file and then disappear.
Call it in. Get to a safe house.

You can do this. Just keep telling yourself that.

And don’t forget to breathe.

Burn down the notebooks. What good are notebooks? They won't help me survive.
