As Aaron drove his virtual car around the streets of Los Santos, he became angrier and angrier. It was well past the time when they normally played video games, and Phillip hadn’t shown.

He’s out recruiting for them, he thought. I guess I know where his loyalties lie.

He turned off the Xbox and tried to study. He had English, algebra, and a current events quiz to study for, but he found it hard to concentrate on any of the materials. He wondered if Phillip had been paired up with some other Adherent, or if he was out throwing wadded flyers through windows on his own.

What was that thing, anyway? he thought, picturing the disc they’d used to locate Johnathan Woulk. How does it know to find people? How did it know to find Phillip and me? It’s not random like people walking door to door, trying every house. Somehow it zeroed in on him.

The door opened and his mother entered, holding a plate of cookies.

“Oh!” she said, lowering the plate to his desk. “Xbox is already off. That never happens. And no Phillip today.”

“He had plans,” Aaron replied.

He could feel her watching him. He tried to look as though he was interested in the open English book in front of him, hoping she didn’t pry further; he knew she considered the circumstances unusual, especially on the heels of last night’s conversation.

“Well, these are all for you today, I guess,” she said.

She backed out, closing the door behind her. Aaron sighed in relief, grateful he didn’t have to explain what was going on.

Instead, his mind drifted from the textbook and back to the School, wondering if he was making a mistake by not attending.
