Present Day: Escaping Los Angeles
I've already decided I need to get to the airport, but I also need to remain hidden and probably get rid of this rental car.
There's more breaking news. Apparently, someone was at my apartment.
BREAKING NEWS - 10:05 PM - Los Angeles
An explosion occurred at the Modern Square apartment units.
There was one fatality and authorities have not been able to identify the victim at this time.
Officials warn citizens that this could be connected to the recent bombing at Los Carnales in San Diego. These attacks could be acts of terror against California. We do not know which group or individual is responsible. If you see anything suspicious, call police immediately.
Someone must have triggered some kind of explosive by visiting my apartment unit... but I don't know who would have visited me or entered my apartment.
The police here respond very quickly... They'll find out about my friend, Carl Bane. They'll also find out he rented the apartment for me... At that point, Carl will probably give up my name, but I should have enough time to run.
While I'm in the air, I will send anonymous tips to the LAPD and tell my story.
All I need to do is buy a plane ticket to London. Goodbye, California.
My time is limited. I need to change my appearance and get to the airport.
