Chapter Twelve:

The Escape

Professor Green hovers over a radio in the librarian’s lounge, accompanied by Caleb, Bree and Micky. Static floods through the speaker directly after the President’s speech. Caleb smashes the radio to the floor, deeply enraged by the speech.

“They’d better have a good reason for this,” he shouts out, noticing Bree staying still as a statue.

“Unfortunately, they don’t.” She says bleakly.

“I’m sure he isn’t telling us everything. My dad has always told me to remain hopeful and have a willingness to understand decisions… he was wrong.” Caleb looks out the window, noticing the soldiers are still rounding up black students for their trucks. “This isn’t a lottery; it’s genocide.”

“What are we going to do, Caleb? We’re outnumbered.”

Professor Green rises to his feet, attempting to locate some words of wisdom, but coming up short. Even Micky is keeping quiet after the speech.

“I would go if I could,” Micky offers.

“Yes, thank you for that.” Bree says, but the genuine moment is short-lived. She’s seeking answers, letting her mind run away with possibilities. “But why are we targets? We want to live our best lives as well as everyone else.”
