Chapter 14

I woke the next morning to the sound of the shelter alarms going off.

What now? I wondered.

As I sat up in bed, Harrison walked in the room.

“We have a problem.”

“No kidding,” I said. “Have you seen Missy?”

“No,” he said. “We need to go. Come on.”

I stood, grabbed my plasma rifle, then followed him toward the elevator. When the door opened on the first floor, someone tossed a stun grenade in. I reflexively dropped my rifle and grabbed my ears to protect them as the tiny device emitted an intense chirping noise. The flashing lights and smoke didn’t help matters either.

Soldiers rushed in, grabbing Harrison and me and putting cuffs on us. When they pulled us out of the elevator, I saw a few dead bodies on the ground. None of them looked like Missy, but I was still upset. What the hell had happened? How had Orlando found us? I stared at the smug smile on his face, determined more than ever to kill him.

“Look who we have here,” he said.

I stepped forward, but a soldier hit me in the stomach with the butt of his rifle.

“Watch it,” Harrison warned.

“You two need to watch it,” Orlando said, hands resting on his pot-belly.

I hated everything about him.

“Where’s Missy?” I asked, knowing he’d had his eye on her for a while. “You better not hurt her.”

“Hurt her? She’s my biggest friend now,” he said. “She’s the one who let me in here.”

“No,” I said, unable to believe she’d betray me. “You’re lying.”

“Believe what you must,” he said, glancing around. “Maybe I’ll let her do murals in my old shelter. This new shelter will be nice. You’re going to give me control, or I’ll kill all of you, including Missy.”

“Don’t do it,” Harrison said.

“We can’t take the chance he’s bluffing,” I said then sighed.

If he took control of this one, he would eventually learn of the second experimental shelter. Or could I keep it from him? As Orlando rattled on, I contacted Merlin.
