It's not far from the University to Brannon's apartment, and at present he doesn't own a car, so chooses to walk home. He had stayed late to acquaint himself with the new equipment, and so it was already dark.

I will be there soon. Weeks of traveling will soon come to fruition. i have heard various rumors over the past months of a group of scientists working on a top secret project. I hear it involves me. Or at the very least people like me. Hard to believe that I'm not the only one. These powers, my curse, my blessing. Soon i will know everything. Those people at the university will tell me everything i want to know. or die denying me.

The slight niggle at the base of one's skull. A shiver ran down Brannon's spine, and he knew he was being watched. He slowly turned his head, and sure enough, a figure stood in the shadow inside one of the awnings of the shops.
He tried to ignore the figure. A little way ahead, he looked round once more.
He had no idea why he was being watched. But he didn't like it at all.
It was only half a mile to the apartment.
So Brannon ran.

damn he spotted me. He's spooked. I'm not smart or anything but he started running so obviously he must be scared. I could stop him. Easily in fact, after all i have some control over my powers. But he will never help me if i attack him. so i give chase. He cant run forever.

Brannon wiped a bead of sweat from his terrified brow. The man was running now - he was definitely following. Subtle.
Come on, he thought. He's just a drunk looking for a fight. Break away.
But for all the world, the guy was fast.
Brannon ran into the shadows and, once he was out of sight, ducked into an alley. Looks like I'm taking the long route home, he thought, as adrenaline coursed through his veins.

Brannon backed through the alley, keeping a sharp eye on the pillar of street light at its end. But so far, nobody appeared, and Brannon managed to reach the bend in the alley unnoticed. He turned tail and careened through the streets, creeping through somebody's back garden and bursting out into the welcoming street lamps of Mead Rise. It was completely dark now but for the street lights, but Harun knew the way back to his house.

Brannon walked hastily down the street, pausing at the shadow which led down his driveway. He fumbled for his keys, and stepped out into the darkness.

Harun practically jumped out of his skin. He took a startled step backwards and swore in fright. When he attempted to compose himself, his voice remained shaky.
"What do you want? I don't have any money and my only valuable is my computer."

Now, i need you to tell me everything you know. your life, my life and everybody elses lives could be at risk".

Brannon remembered the file on his desk, marked CONFIDENTIAL, and the official secret's act he had been made to sign. Telling this thug what he knew was not worth twenty years in prison. He was probably drunk.
Yeah, he probably was. He was harmless, right?
Brannon sighed and, wordlessly, continued down the garden path, until he reached the man. Brannon motioned as if to push past him, and said in a low voice, "I don't give government information to strangers."

Brannon looked the man over. He certainly looked like a tramp. This one is different. Give him a chance. 神恵 The voice in Brannon's head startled him, and he swung round to look if anybody was there. But the night was silent, and the man himself did not appear to have heard anything. Harun's voice shook slightly, as he invited him in. What am i doing? he asked himself, as he unlocked the door, slipped off his shoes and put the kettle on, to entertain his unexpected guest. "Tea or coffee?" he asked, still amazed at himself.
