CHAPTER TEN

I Might Be About to Die

“It’s all so beautiful, isn’t it?” Mond gestures to the fields and trees, as I rush out, afraid of her possible retaliation to my tardiness. “If only the whole world was like this. Sadly, I only have control over these isles. And not even. I only control the assassins. If it were up to me we’d kill all the poor, get rid of the settlements they call ‘towns,’ and put parks in their place. Let the people who deserve it roam them and find peace. We won’t be able to bring back the animals that helped make the parks so beautiful, not after we drove them to extinction, but the bees will remain. Bees, the one species that is necessary for nature, that the common member of humanity may wish to rid the world of but the intellectuals know their true necessity. Don’t you think?”

“Uh…yes ma’am.” I don’t even know what I’m answering, I can barely process her words, both beautiful and thoughtful but also harmful and deadly to those she wishes to get rid of.

“Let’s be on our way then, we’re already late,” she says, opening the door to the magnicar. It’s comfortable with plush seating and food. We sit in silence, the only noise my nibbling on the only candy I’ve had in a long time. Not too much so as to disadvantage me in my fighting, but just enough to satisfy my curiosity.

After about 10 minutes we arrive at a white dome that looks a little like a golf ball. It looks as if we’re about to crash right into it when it simply absorbs us. The inside looks similar to the FATC, but different, more sophisticated. There’s acres of green grass, the occasional tree for shade, an abundance of varied flowers, and several scattered buildings. We stop in front of the largest building and a short round robot greets us as we exit the magnicar and speaks. “Hello, Ms. Mond and Ms. Baner. Ms. Mond the heads are waiting for you in Meeting Room 2R. Ms. Baner, you have a training session with Mary Ant and Cleo Pav in training room 5Y7.”

“Thank you, 67A. Would you please show Melissa to training room 5Y7?”

“Of course Ms. Mond.”

“Also will you make sure that they train her rather than be permanently attached to each other’s lips?”

“Always Ms. Mond.”

“Good.” She turns to me. “We shall meet back here at approximately 6:30.”

“Yes ma’am,” I respond and she turns and returns to the magnicar as I follow 67A into the building. We take a series of complicated turns before finally arriving at a door. When I enter the room I see one person with light brown skin wearing all black with touches of gold in their black hair. As well as a person with white skin wearing baggy yellow shorts and a purple tee shirt with short brown hair on the other side. Something seems to have occurred moments before I walked in as they’re glaring at each other.
