Chapter 1

"CHECKMATE! You LOOOOOOOOSE sucker!!!! In your face! In your FACE!!!!" screamed out Kyle as he bested Mandy at the game of chess.
"Ooooooooo, big surprise there. You have defeated me 89.72% of the times that we have played" said Mandy with a big grin on her face.
"Well, still. IN YOUR FACE!!!!" shouted Kyle as he danced around.
Mandy got up from the table and walked to the door. "Kyle, remember to get ready, we will be heading out in 10 minutes."
The door clicked shut as Mandy left the room.
Kyle was still dancing around the table with a huge smile on his face. As much as he knew that Mandy was not a challenge, he still enjoyed it everytime that he crushed her in Chess. This was the only thing in life that he could ever beat Mandy in. His grades in school were very high, but he would always be second, right behind Mandy. Mandy was faster than him, smarter than him and much stronger than him. Kyle sometimes wondered if Mandy was just letting him win in chess. For the moment being, he just bathed in the moment of victory. He walked to the closet and spoke out to the panel,
"Suit Two, Black, please."
A soft hum came from within the closet, then a loud click. Kyle opened the closet door and retrieved the black suit from the hanger. He quickly changed and headed downstairs to meet up with Mandy.
Kyle stepped into the elevator,
"Main Lobby" said Kyle.
The elevator doors shut and the descend began. The doors opened and there was Mandy sitting at one of the lobby chairs staring off into the sky. Kyle decided to sneak up on Mandy.
"Hey Kyle! I wouldn't do that if I were you!" said someone from behind a counter.
"Awwwwww, that's no fun. Thanks for ruining it Ralph!"
"Alright Kyle, come on over here to checkout."
Kyle let out a long sigh and slowly walked to the counter. Kyle went to the electronic panel at the counter and placed his hand on the panel. A monotone computerized voice rang out from the speakers,
"Kyle, 16, Male. Resident of the West Ward. Appartment 8-899. Reason for checkout?"
"Going out with Mandy Lee to the West Ward Cemetery." said Kyle in an annoyed voice.
"Confirmed, please be back before 2000h. Have a safe trip."
Mandy stood up and proceeded to walk to the door,
"Thanks Ralph. Kyle, let's get moving or we will miss our shuttle. We have lots of work to do."
Ralph smiled at Kyle and gave a gentle nod to him. Kyle quickly turned around and ran towards the lobby door where Mandy left to.
