Rally

New Eridu was crowded as usual. People filled the streets while vehicles moved between the towering buildings. Neon signs illuminated the sidewalks, and agents were occasionally seen patrolling the area. Among the crowd was someone trying very hard not to be noticed. Rally. His hood was pulled over his head and his black mask covered his face. Behind him, carefully hidden beneath his clothing, was the thing he absolutely did NOT want anyone to see. His strange, enormous Shin Godzilla-like tail. Rally walked quietly through the streets. Then he spotted an agent. He immediately stopped. The agent was standing across the street, scanning the area. Rally stayed perfectly still. The agent looked left. Then right. Rally slowly turned around. He began walking in the opposite direction. A security camera suddenly rotated toward him. Rally noticed it. The camera stopped. Rally stopped too. For a moment, neither moved. Then the camera made a quiet mechanical sound. **CLICK.** Rally immediately walked faster. A few blocks away, an agent's communication device suddenly beeped. **Agent:** "We've got an unidentified person moving through the area." Another agent looked at the screen. **Agent:** "Description?" **Agent:** "Masked. Dark hoodie. Can't get a clear identification." Rally continued down the street, completely unaware that the agents had started paying attention to him. Then— A tiny portion of his strange tail accidentally became visible beneath his clothing. Someone nearby noticed. **Civilian:** "...What was that?" Rally stopped. The civilian stared. Rally slowly turned his head. The civilian blinked. Rally was now faced with a very serious problem. Someone had seen the tail. And the agents were getting closer.
