• Running out of time and running out of breath, i tried my best to get away from the troopers while i was delivering a package worth more than my life. Im Matt and i'm a runner. A runners job is simple. Get the package from point A to point B without getting shot, caught, or falling of of the seventy-foot roofs that you jump to and from.I wouldent be in the poisition I am in if I haden't messed the city up in the first place. The reason why runners exist is because the government watches anything and everything that goes through the postal service. That is because of me. If someone wants something delivered and they don't want to be caught for anything, they hire a runner. In Capital City, there are running teams; the Blue Swift, the Flaming Spartans, and the White Lightning. I am in the Flaming Spartans. we get called the most mostly because we are the fastest and the most efficient, but not the cheapist. secrecy comes at a hefty price if you know what i mean. As im jumping from rooftop to rooftop outrunning a hover-jet by at least 2 miles per hour, i see my checkpoint. The bank. another member of my team was waiting there ready for this package to gaurd her life with. i was about three buildings away and a jumped. Unfortunetly,at that point,gravity was not on my side and the seventy foot fall was unforgiving.
