CHAPTER NINE

The men were cheering as we were marched out in front of them into the blinding sunlight. They cracked jokes at our expense, working each other up. Some reached out and smacked our faces as we walked forward. Others spit on us. Some kicked us in the back of our legs as we stumbled on; still others beat our lower backs with sticks to keep us moving. All the while, insults flew at us from every side. I noticed that some of the men looked like they were wearing new uniforms, and their bare arms sticking out were covered in biker tattoos.

Alphas and Unity Gang, I thought. That's how they've been slipping on and off the base. Franco has allowed John to deputize outlaws into his elite unit. He's in bed with the enemy.

By the looks of it, the sun had just risen. Blood from a head wound I'd picked up in the beating soon mixed with sweat from my anxious attempts to fight them off with tied hands, and the mixture poured down into my eyes, making them sting. I choked on dry dust as we were led over the dirt track to the lawn section where a makeshift gallows had been recently assembled.

I wonder how long they've been preparing for this moment, I thought. This must have been part of the plan since the start, to win the rest of the base over by using us as his scapegoats.

The crowd of cheering men parted to let us climb up and onto the platform. They looked like rioters. I wondered how no one else could see they were nothing but lawless bikers in bad disguises. I felt my foot take the first step up the stairs, and heard the creak of the new wood as it supported my weight. A feeling of utter dread began to descend over me.

This is really happening, I realized at last. This is how it's going to end.

I was up on the platform now, and being calmly moved into position over a trap door by one of Franco's men. I turned to see another moving Moto into position.

There has to be a way out of this. Think! You're running out of time!

The man next to me reached over my head and pulled the noose down, looping it over my neck and pulling it snugly into place. The wiry bits of rough rope scratched my throat as I started to panic, pulling in deep breaths.

I'm never going to see her again, I thought. I'm never going to see Felicity.

I heard a commotion to my right. I turned to see Moto struggling as they tried to put the rope over his neck. It was no use. The man rabbit punched him hard in the kidneys, and he bent over. The man who had put the rope over my neck helped Moto straighten up, as the other one laced the noose around my brother’s neck and pulled it so tight that Moto's face began to go slightly blue.
