The door led to a small hallway, where they walked for a bit. Then I went up another smaller set of stairs that led to a door.

“This is a lot of doors,” she said, voice obviously conveying her skepticism.

"Yes, there are a lot of doors here." He waved his hand in a panel beside the door, and it opened.

He walks into the room, which is a large room, more lavish than anything you have seen before. There are several rooms branching off of this one.

She had not taken a step forward. As a matter of fact, she was considering leaving.

"Because you are smart enough to want things to get better, if you don't want to, walk away; I won't stop you."

We ran for another half hour, then stopped. They were at the border of Sector One.

"This isn't that uncommon for Sector One. Sector One is the most rich by a long shot; most retired Crime lords find their way here. Gambling is the most common criminal activity here. The reason not many people come here is that you need to have money in order to not just be beaten to death in the streets."

“Like a big pieces or lots of tiny pieces? Also if I’m working for you on this where am I getting food from?”

She once again paused before doing so. Even after she took it off, her whole body except her head was covered.
