Chapter 26

We had scanned the journal at Aaron’s for re-publishing and were heading back to the Enclave. I let Delaware keep the original as a souvenir. Her intel, her reward. The journal copies would be distributed throughout the night by various Militia members and the St. Paul Free Press; people would be able to read the source themselves. It provided the juicy details that we needed to expose the UPF’s privacy invasions in their entirety. Publishing the full version meant the government couldn’t claim that we had manipulated the journal by picking bits and pieces. It was a genius plan on our part and amazingly stupid for a UPF leader to leave his secrets in a journal, thinking a simple safe could keep it away from prying eyes. No secret is safe nowadays.

There would be an attempted coverup, but the damage would be done too quickly for them to respond. I looked forward to seeing what the public media would come up with to cover the scandal. The UPF could try to take away our light, but we thrived in the darkness.

We drove along in the old car as we approached the Enclave. A rattling noise constantly reminded us that it could break down at any second and the smell of way too many cigarettes gave me a solid headache. “How are you enjoying life as an acting lieutenant, Del?”

She was gazing out the window into the night. “It’s fun to be a part of the big decisions, even if a lot of it is running things through you, but I don’t know how I’d feel if we lost someone while I was in charge.” I hope you never have to learn.

“Shitty.”

She shook her head, confused. “What?”

I looked at her. “You’d feel shitty.”

She was silent for a moment before responding quietly, “I missed you, Coyote.”

I sighed before lightening the mood. “Missed you too, Del. Speaking of what I missed, did Snap ask you out yet?”

An excited grin came across her face and she bit her lip. “Maybe, what’s it to ya?”

I laughed. “Glad he finally had the guts to follow through.”

She punched my arm. “You knew he would ask?”

I laughed, proudly. “He was always talking about it, and I’d been trying to convince him to actually do it for months. Took him long enough.”

Her mouth was open in a kind of faux shock. “And you didn’t tell me? Screw you.”

I smirked. “What’s the fun in ruining the surprise? Did it go well, or did he decide you were too short for him?”

She rolled her eyes. “Ooh a short joke, real creative.”

I just looked at her.

She sighed. “It went fine. I don’t know. He’s cute.”

I chuckled. “That’s always a plus.”

“Shut up.”

“Oh come on. I can’t be happy that my little recruit is growing up?”

“Alright, bro.”

“Seriously though, Del. You’ve come a long way in the past four years since I pulled you out of… you know.”

“Thanks. It feels like it has been longer than that, though. It honestly is weird to remember life before the Enclave.
