“Finally we’re free”.Wispers Markus under his breath. The wind howls as the snow quietly twinkles down onto our clothes, making them damp. I think to myself (which I can finally do now) we weren't free, we’ve just been set free, and now we’re free. But what now, now that we’re free, done fighting and protecting, what now. What now since I have been chasing deviants my whole entire “life” and now I am one. Along with that, if it wasn’t for Markus, I wouldn’t be a deviant at all. But my main question now is…what now? Do I get married. Do I help Lieutenant Anderson. Do I stay a police officer. What do I do…I actually don’t know. I go to ask Markus but he is to busy talking to the group (but mainly North). Shall I interrupt their conversation and ask? Or…”What now Markus, since we finished fighting, what do we do next?” I always thought of finally being free, but never thought of what would happen after we were free. At Least the first thing I should do is buy a house of rent an apartment. But still before that, I should see Lieutenant Anderson (Hank). “Connor”, *thinking* Good timing. “*breaths out* what are you going to do, now that you're free?” I don’t know Lieutenant, but I’m probably going to stay a police officer.” *a year after being free* i stayed a police officer, bought a house, I got a dog who helps with investigations I have a girlfriend and I actually feel...good and…...happy for myself. I am still Connor, and this is still my change-making, story.
