Levi Söderberg and Sofia Berglund are about to enter the city of Amsterdam which is affected by the Earth riots of 2558, to loot houses and shops in order to gain money and food.

Advantage.
Advantage was one of the things which mattered the most in Söderberg's life. The thing he needed for a proper life. If he had an advantage, he wouldn't leave hold of it. And he had an advantage now.
He had always been stealing food and money in small quantities, in order to live his life. Life was hard for him and his childhood friend Sofia. But tonight, big changes were going to happen. And Söderberg can't miss this, this great, opportunity.
The entire city of Amsterdam was in turmoil. Hell, the entirety of Netherlands was chaos. Angry civilians were rioting on the street, total madness. Something big had happened in the Earth's atmosphere with the UNSC ships, there was definitely something serious happening over there. A huge wave of EMP had taken out the power of the entire world's cities. A huge wave. Civilians were especially pissed off at this, so they set out and protested. Marching in the streets, they started to ignite fires in many shops. The Police Department had tried to stop the angry civilians, but it was too much for them. They managed to evacuate a large portion of city containing the rioters and cut if off from the rest of the city.
This meant an advantage; Söderberg and Berglund could enter the city's isolated part without much difficulty. They'd go to major shops and houses and loot them. None of the civilians would stop them. This would give them a lot of money and food, the two main things in Söderberg's daily life.
This wasn't a safe try though, Söderberg thought. A huge part of the city isolated and deserted, this attracted other looters like moths to the flame. And Söderberg was sure criminals would try and take advantage of this situation too. However, they'd only loot banks and other major buildings, Söderberg was pretty sure. Criminals would never loot grocery shops and houses. But he couldn't help but worry.
Berglund came up to him running. She slowed down and came to a halt, panting and breathing heavily. Some seconds later, she stopped panting and handed him a rifle and a pistol. She asked, "What's wrong with you? We have to go fast", Söderberg replied, "The same feeling again."
Berglund put her hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't worry Levi, I'm sure we'll make it out alive. We can't miss this opportunity."
"How can you be so sure?"
"I just am. Now, we gotta go now. No wasting time."
Söderberg nodded, holstered his pistol, readied his rifle, put on his mask and started running, along with Berglund. This was it now, their chance was here. He could not let it go this time.
It was an advantage.
