Drake felt pain in his side. He was lying face-down. He couldn't say for sure what had just happened. He was about to figure out.
He turned slowly and coughed. His nostrils were filled with dust. He slowly opened his eyes. He was lying in ruins. He tried to look around, but his vision was blurry.
The last thing he remembered was inserting the drive Chloe gave to him into the red slot. He hadn't done it out of sheer will. He did it according to the instructions given.
Or had he been fooled again? Could it be that even the new Chloe whose instructions he followed wasn't the one to be trusted!
He pushed his frame up. Even though there was pain tugging at his sides, he knew he couldn't keep lying there. He needed to get on his feet and figure out what was happening.
"Chloe..."
