Clearly this was what I needed to help them with. "You guys seem nice enough. Get down on your knees and we'll make this quick." the Phobia member said. I was now getting my team when the shots began to ring out. All the kids and their parents went crazy trying to escape the gunmen. We ran over and began shooting at the brazen attacker. He never saw us coming. Between the five of us, he had no chance. He died and we looked at the AEP units. "It's important to keep your identity as cyborgs hidden. They are looking for you so they can attack." I said. They looked at me in confusion. "Are you Brianne!?" the one with black hair asked. I nodded. They looked at each other and smiled. "We were sent to get you. Let's go to out clan building." the white haired one said. I shrugged and let them lead the way. As we passed a large rock, I saw there was another AEP unit hiding behind it. I stopped and pointed him out to the others. The red headed AEP unit flinched. "There are Phobia members all over the place and I hate it! One chased me here." I looked and saw a guy walking over.
This was obviously not good. All these guys were crazy. The AEP units here all seemed a bit too docile. We had to go and stop him. He looked at us and stopped. They way the kill squads worked is that once they were called on a person they targeted them without fail. If they fought them, the syndicate would send stronger and stronger assassins and squads of enemies. A loophole was that third parties did not count towards the raising threat level at all. If this was a Phobia member set on the AEP unit, I could kill him and it would not blow back on me. That was probably why they called us in the first place. We could be their bodyguards and run out the clock. Eventually the level of aggression would lower to the point they would go away. The young man looked at me and then at all the AEP units behind us. "Excuse me. I have a meeting with those three right there." he said. I shook my head no. "They are all hanging out with us right now, man. Not today buddy." I said to him firmly. That was when the member of Phobia became angry went hostile. We then killed him like a dog. It was fast.
