Victor woke up in his small cell, freezing. They'd taken all of his clothes except his underwear, and he hadn't even been given a blanket. The mattress on the small bunk was plastic, and where his skin touched the plastic, he'd sweated. The sweat was now making him even colder. He did some jumping jacks to try to get the blood flowing.

Soon, the guard was walking up the hall, pushing a cart with a stack of pants and shirts on it. He handed a pair of military-issue pants and a gray t-shirt through the bars and said, "Put these on."

Victor gladly put the clothes on and was grateful for the warmth. He continued his jumping jacks until a different man came back, only his cart was empty. "You better save your strength. You're gonna need it today," he said.

"What happens today?"

"You'll be tested, assigned to your group for ongoing training, and you'll meet your commanding officer," he said simply.

"I don't have a commanding officer. I'm not joining the army."

The man smiled, almost sympathetically. "You're already joined, brother," the soldier said, walking away.

Victor sat down on his bunk and tried to figure a way out of this. He couldn’t fight his way out as long as they were keeping Max, Maya, and Holly somewhere separate. Victor had no idea where they were. He didn’t dare risk talking to Max, since both times he’d sent thoughts to people, Lightfoot’s men had known about it. Victor knew Max would be doing everything in his power to hide his abilities from the men and that meant not broadcasting his thoughts. Sitting around and waiting for something to happen was not something Tookes enjoyed doing. Taking charge and making it happen was much more his style. He didn’t like this, and it was worse because he had no other choice.

He was having an absurd idea about making a rush for Lightfoot when the soldier came back and ordered him to stand up. “Put these on,” he said, tossing Tookes a pair of handcuffs. “Behind your back.”

Vic handcuffed himself and stepped towards the door to his cell. The guard opened the door and pointed down the hallway.

Victor was escorted down the stairs, outside, and down two blocks to a huge open field with bleachers on one end. The bleachers were full to capacity with soldiers, and there were lines of men standing in perfect formation on the far side. The guard walked Victor down in front of the bleachers and turned him to face the stands. Even with all of the men in the bleachers, the air was relatively silent. It made Victor uneasy. Shortly after Tookes was brought out, Marshall, John, Shelton, and even old Reggie Walton were escorted out to join him. They were all in handcuffs.

Lightfoot stood up on the podium, a proud smile on his face. The men cheered. The applause lasted a full minute before the general raised his hands and quieted the men. “We have three new immunes,” he said. More applause.
