THE BLACK HAND SERVES

Lou Bixby had been the Chief of Communications for the Murfreesboro Safe Zone for exactly one year. He’d worked his way up through ranks after showing up injured and near death at the front door of the MSZ about a year and half ago. He was also a card carrying, and rather fiercely loyal member of The Black Hand. He was sent to the MSZ after he willingly took a bullet in the leg and a vicious beatdown from Ortiz. It had to be authentic or they never would’ve bought it.

Before The Descent, Lou had been a Navy midshipman with a specialty in communications. There wasn’t anything that could put two people in contact that he couldn’t operate or construct. Case in point, Lou built from existing undamaged components a communications array, which he had to credit Middle Tennessee State University for having a top-notch communications department. He supposed when the shit hit the fan and the looting and destruction had happened, college campuses weren’t deemed the greatest targets.

He had pitched a plan to The Three about leading a party over to the communications building and cherry picking enough equipment to build a competent way to talk to other safe zones. The irony was, a Black Hand agent helped create The Network. But that was his job. Kade specifically told him, “You do everything in your power help them. Get in deep, Lou. I want them to be green with rage when they come to find out that we tore them down from the inside. I want to see it in their eyes. All I want you to do is set up a way to talk to me one time so we’re good. Then wait for the signal.”

So that’s what he did. On more than one occasion he very much wanted to ask Kade when they were coming because, well, he was really building them up quite nicely. The Health Services Building took up about half of the Recreation Center of the former MTSU. While Lou did drag his feet, he’d been an integral part of getting the Med Center back up and running. It was shocking really, how the world fell and Freaks didn’t trash the shit that mattered. OK, yeah they did, because there was no society anymore, but that’s partially because the society are now freaks. The shit that’s around is basically still good.

Then, on an epically glorious day, Lou Bixby received the message he’d been waiting for. Kade told him in two days, at an exact time, he was to disable the communications array and kill the security feed. Lou was in the know about a scouting party that was in Nashville and felt it would add a nice touch to make them aware in real time, before he slipped out, that the base was under attack. That way they couldn’t possibly do anything about it, and would be crushed upon their return. Kade lauded his sickness and told him to proceed.

On this day, Kade would not actually get a fight from the MSZ inhabitants.
