Chapter 5:

Some Liars Plan to Get Caught

Some lies are told without concern for if the truth will ever be discovered, for the purpose is not invested in hiding the truth, but manipulating human behavior at the moment. In 1974 Stanley Milgram published his famous experiment on obedience to authority, where participants where lied to about electric shocks being delivered to an individual designated as The Learner. It was always the plan to reveal the truth to the participants. The purpose of lying to them was simply to reshape and alter their behavior during the experiment, for a short time in a specific situation, after that the lie was irrelevant, the behavior had already been altered.

A second bullet slammed into the rim of the same wheel followed by a third round. It shredded the metal of the rear door, dangerously close to the rear wheel.

Ekaterina tackled Nichols to the ground and lifted her head to examine the car. “They aren’t shooting at us. Just the car. Get in.”

Nichols scrambled away towards the tree line. “Are you crazy? That’s where they are shooting.”

Ekaterina pulled open the driver side door. “I know. Just like the explosion. They’re not targeting us, but the vehicle.” She gestured around her. The silence. No more shots, just the empty silence of every living thing holding as still as possible. “See. They want you alive. They know where we are going. And they don’t want us to get there.”

He leaned out from behind a tree. His eyes shifted from her to the car.

“We were nowhere near here when the shots started.” She waved him towards her. “Hurry before they find a better location and can shoot out the other tires. We only have one spare. And they know it.”

Nichols sprinted to the door and huddled down inside. She accelerated, and the car pulled hard to the left and made odd sounds as the flat rolled strangely beneath them. Just before they pulled out of the clearing. They heard one final shot. Whatever it hit, it wasn’t the car.

“What now?” He asked.

Ekaterina shook her head. Her blondish red hair clumped together in patches where she slept. “We need to find a safe place to repair the flat soon, or the axle will break.”

The car felt uneven as it accelerated down the road. Nichols unfolded from hiding low in his seat. “I don’t see anyone behind us.”

“If it was me,” she pulled a long strand of hair and placed it in her mouth, “I’d have scouted it out the night before. Maybe placed people at the next two most likely stops in case the first sniper failed. That way they wouldn’t need to follow. We’d feel safe and pull off. One good shot and we are down two tires. Dead in the water. And driving to the third stop would probably be too much for the axle.”

Nichols took in her words. She knew too much. Thought too little to reach the conclusions. There was training there.
