TWENTY-TWO

WHEN THEY GOT back to the room, Rupert, Alan, and Ella were sitting on their beds. “How did it go on the wall?” Ella asked. “We could see the explosions from up here. We were worried.”

“They broke through the second wall,” Vince said.

“What?” Alan asked, surprised. “How? Those walls are massive.”

“That crazy bastard used kids. He strapped bombs to them and sent them to their death,” Saul said.

Alan stood from his bed. “Jeez, this guy is nuts.”

Ella covered her mouth. “Oh my god,” she said. “Well, that’s why we agreed to stop him, right? Crazy people are dangerous with that kind of power.”

“He didn’t earn the power either,” Rupert said. “The only reason he’s in charge is because he’s got Hedcrown blood in him. This rebellion needs to happen, but he shouldn’t be the one leading it.”

“Unfortunately, he is,” Vince said. “If he’s willing to use kids as bombers, there’s no telling what he’ll do next.”

“Right, the next thing you know we’ll be fighting off puppies.”

“This is no time to joke, Alan.” Vince walked over and stood beside them. “A lot of children died today.”

Alan lowered his head in respect. “You’re right. I apologize.”

“How did things go up here?” Saul asked.

“Not too well,” Rupert said. “I managed to sneak into the medical sector, but I didn’t find anything. Fred wasn’t there. I don’t know where she is. I think their hiding something. If they’re lying about Fred, who knows what else they’ve been lying about.”

Alan put a hand on his shoulder. “Don’t worry buddy. We’ll find Fred. She’s tough as nails, that bird.”

Rupert nodded.

“So what next? Greene must be uneasy with the second wall down. He might even be distracted enough for us to turn on him. Take him down while he’s busy fighting Simon.”

“No,” Vince said. “We must stick to the plan. Focus on Simon first. Once he’s taken care of, we can turn our attention to Greene. They both need to go, there’s no question about that. But we need Greene’s resources to deal with Simon. Once Greene trusts us, we can stab him in the back.”

Saul snickered to himself. Greene would never trust them, but he played along anyway. “That’s right, he has already given us more responsibilities. With a little more time, he’ll accept us as his own.”

“Tomorrow, Greene’s troops arrive,” Vince said. “The people we met on the wall today were not dangerous. They will not be a problem when we make our move. It’s his troops I’m worried about. They’re trained. When they arrive, I will observe them to see how they behave. I will gauge their level of training. We need to know how much trouble they’ll give us.”

Rupert nodded. “So you’ll be down there with the troops. We’ll stay up here and keep looking around.”

“Correct.”

“Greene knows what we’re doing. He caught me in the medical sector. He’ll be watching us closely. We need to be careful.”

“Two walls have fallen. That should keep him occupied. Fortunately for us, he can’t have his eyes on everything.
