Kore shoved her hand into her bag and pulled out a piece of paper with an address scribbled on to it.  It was the one detail she had not had Mr. Johnson handle.  He had taken care of pretty much everything else.  A new identity, untraceable credit chips, ID cards, the whole kit she needed to become a new person.  He had strongly urged her to change her appearance once she was out, but she still was not sure about that bit.  Dying her hair was not going to get her very far if people could still see the scars on her face.  She would no longer be Kore Chronis.  Now she would be Samantha Callas.  Just another person out there in the world.<br/><br/>She held the paper up for her companion to see.  She had arranged the lease to be put under her new identity.  A small apartment in one of the better housing districts.  It had looked perfect online, like the kind of place she could lay low and keep to herself for awhile.  In a few days she intended to send her mother a message to let Demeter know she was safe, but that she had no intention of returning home until she was ready to.  She could not really stand the idea of never seeing her mother again, but she still needed to know what it was to be independent of the woman who had given her life and then later ensured she remained alive.<br/><br/>The car weaved through the streets and Kore could anticipate as they got closer and closer to the address she had given the Shadowrunner.  The only issue was, this area looked nothing like the pristine neighborhoods she had seen on the web.  Instead, they found themselves solidly in the slums of the city.  A few apartment buildings still stood, but they were much worse for the wear and some looked as if they should have been condemned several decades before.  When they finally reached the address she had given him, they were met with nothing but an empty lot, filled with tents and people wandering the open area.<br/><br/>“Oh, no.  This can’t be it...” She checked the address and brought up her phone to check it against her own navigation.  A white dot on the screen told her that this was exactly where the apartment she had paid for was supposed to be.<br/><br/>“I—I thought I could handle this part.  I figured it would be easy...” It dawned on her in that moment, she had nowhere to go.  She could not stay here and she could not return to her mother’s company.  For all she knew, the driver would insist she get out of the car.  He had done his part, fulfilled the duty he had been paid for.<br/><br/>“I think I need your help...Please, I’ll pay you more if that is what you need, but I can’t...I can’t stay here.  I just need somewhere safe for the night, I’m sure we can contact Mr. Johnson and he can help me, but I can’t...I can’t go back to Demeter Research.  If I go back, she is never going to let me out of her sight again.”  Kore pleaded.  She could already imagine it.  Her mother would forbid her from using any Matrix-connected device, she would likely put an end to any of the projects Kore had been working on.  It would be even more of a guilded cage.  Kore had no choice here, she could only hope that the man might help her.
