Chapter 12: Reece

Someone in the sleeping quarters snored all night. I thought it was them keeping me from sleeping but I suspected it was caused more from my spinning thoughts.

The visit with Argyle only took me back to the drawing board. Dwight Edgar might have given his signature to authorize the creation of several clones, but he didn’t actually exist. Someone had to be using his name, someone who didn’t want to be discovered.

Finding a ghost was going to be difficult.

But I was sure not impossible.

I just had to think of a way to discover his real identity. If I had to break into all the labs to do it, then that’s what I would do. We wouldn’t be able to make a real change in Aria until the truth was revealed.

The shower I took helped to wake me up. The double shot of coffee at breakfast helped a little more. When I found Samson, I felt mostly ready for the mission we were to embark on.

My only real concern was for Wren. I couldn’t find her anywhere when I went searching. She wasn’t in her bunk, at breakfast, or in any of the other rooms I checked.

The fact I couldn’t find Rocky didn’t go unnoticed either. They were probably together somewhere, up to something that didn’t involve me.

I wanted Wren to come with me on the mission but Samson wouldn’t wait any longer. We had to sneak into the van parked on the street, our faces largely covered with a hat and scarf. It was just enough to cover our identities without making the disguise obvious.

Standing out now was deadly. Our best defense against Stone’s new threats about the bounty on our heads was to blend in. The moment we were noticed and gave someone a reason to look deeper, we were sunk.

We were to be completely ordinary from here on out.

Which was fine by me.

Samson drove us to the warehouse district. We pulled up outside a large structure before the doors opened for us. Samson took the van inside as the doors closed again behind us.

“This building is completely secure?” I asked.

Samson nodded as he jumped out of the van. “As secure as we can get. Nobody can stop the troopers from coming knocking but we’ve put in as many security protocols as we can.”

That was only slightly reassuring.

I followed him through a door. We instantly went from the quiet solitude of the garage to the chaos hiding on the other side of the wall.

People were everywhere, all wearing the red scarf of the Resistance around their necks. There had to be thousands of them, all waiting around expectantly.

“These people are all members?” I had to work my jaw just to stop it from hanging open.

“Sure are. All thanks to you and Wren.”

“But there’s so many.”

“A lot of people hate Stone,” Samson said, shrugging his shoulders. I knew Stone wasn’t popular with anyone outside the rich circle, but I never thought there would be that many people willing to fight against her.
