	~~Make your choice~~		"What's going on?" you ask.

	~~Continue following~~ the ~~suspicious figure leads~~ to ~~[[Access and Alleys]]~~		They both jump, startled. But then the woman says "Help me! They won't let me leave the building! They've already taken everything, and I just want to go, but they won't let me!"

	~~Investigate~~ the ~~shouting in the alley leads~~ to ~~[[To~~ the ~~Rescue]]~~		The man, a couple of decades older than the woman, shakes his head sadly. He says, "This is my niece. I'm trying to take care of her. She's not well--delusions, you see. She stopped taking her medicine, and she's gone completely paranoid. We just want to take her home so she can get the care she needs."

			You think about the situation for a minute, and say "I think we should go talk to the police first." The man starts to argue, but you hold up a hand. "If what she says is true, this is really serious. If you're telling the truth, she'll be back in your care in a couple of hours, and I'll apologize for the trouble I've caused."

	~~[[Category: Adventures]]~~		The man sputters and yells and argues, but you make him release the woman and take her by the hand. There's a moment when you think he's about to attack you, but then he turns and stalks off, shouting that he's going to get the lawyers and his own police, and have you put behind bars.

	~~Found~~ in [[The streets of downtown Twilight~~]].~~		"Thank you so much!" the woman says when the man is finally out of sight. "I never thought I'd be free! That man's not my uncle. He's just one of the senior members of the Zion's Tears brotherhood. I thought they were okay at first, but ... but once you're in they won't let you leave!" She breaks off for a minute, sniffling, but then continues. "They're doing scary stuff up there. Sometimes they talk about an invasion. At first I thought it was just metaphorical, but they've got rooms full of weapons. I wasn't supposed to see, but I did."

			The woman doesn't say much else during the rest of your walk to the nearest police station, but right at the end she whispers to you the location of the Zion's Tears headquarters. It sounds like you'd better check the place out.
