Ben and I didn’t get lunch that day. We were cooped up in that room until Paul and the other boys came in from work. I didn’t mind too much, it gave us a chance to debrief and talk about our options going forward. Besides, I wasn’t particularly hungry given what I had seen.

We were both disappointed that, far from being a safe haven, the Drake Mountain Facility had merely presented us with new dangers. Even though the Professor had managed to placate the military contingent, the simmering tensions told me that sooner or later things were going to come to a head and I had a feeling that when they did, it would not be pretty.

So despite my wish to retire from my leadership role, events seemed to have conspired against me. The dream I had of taking my relationship with Indigo further and living happily ever after in the peace and safety of Drake Mountain had been well and truly shattered.

Compounding my general feeling of unrest was the secret of why the women and girls were being kept segregated from the rest of us. The safety excuse now seemed a certain smokescreen given the comment from Randall. I was a little disappointed in him actually, after all, I had asked him about it directly and he had fobbed me off. I could only assume that he had his own reasons for covering up whatever it was. I decided to keep that part of what I had heard from Ben. The last thing I needed was for him to go ballistic.

While I didn’t mention Randall’s comment, we decided that the issue of the girls was the first problem we had to attack. We needed more information and I was certain that Paul was the person to talk to. It was clear from our first meeting that he knew something more than what he had disclosed so far.

Our second problem was Sonny. The Professor had delivered on his promise to interview him that day, but now the issue of him being in ‘protective custody’ had become another unanticipated worry. I wasn’t willing to make any plans just yet, I would rather wait until Luke was back with us before I did that. While Ben was book smart and passionate, he was no substitute for Luke and his strategic way of thinking.
