Everything Is Gonna Be Fine - File 005

Date: 3/5/215

Incoming signal: Hello? Hello? Can anyone hear me? Is there anyone in the wasteland listening to me? Fuck, this is hopeless…  We don’t even know if people are alive out there, we’ve never left the region because of the horror stories we’ve heard. CeeCee are you sure? …Yeah, right. Ahem! I’m Nate, I’m from the Eastern OQ region, and for the last ten years I’ve been fighting in, well to put it lightly, a pretty nasty civil war. The group I was with has been mostly killed or captured and our leader is missing, presumed dead. Please, if someone is out there and can hear this, we need supplies. Wait what’s- Shit! CeeCee get down they found-

Outgoing message: Nous vous entendons. Sur routre chemin.

Date: 13/6/215

Location: Prison Complex, Ottowa, Ontario-Quebec Region

   Nate choked out a sob and wrapped the younger man in a tight, one-armed hug. Lewis was surprised at first but slowly leaned into it.

   “I’m okay.” he assured.  “I’m fine.”  Nate nodded, but didn’t let go. Lewis pushed him back.  “We’re on a bit of a time crunch, we can talk later.” he said softly but firmly. Nate took a deep breath.

   “Yeah... Yeah, of course.” he muttered, pulling back fully and looking into Lewis’ eyes for an answer. Lewis looked behind him at Zander.

   “Hey man, you good to move?”  Zander tried his best to sit up.

   “Not really, it’ll hurt like a bitch and I might lose a few non-essential organs, but if you’re here to break me out I’ll tough it out.” he replied, wincing. Lewis and Nate frowned at each other. 

   “Zander...” Nate said in a “concerned mom” tone of voice. Lewis sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

   “Well, I would just break Nate and CeeCee out and come back for you, but...”

   “We’re not leaving him here.” Nate insisted, folding his right arm over his stump.

   “Oh so you’re part of the rescue committee now?” Lewis snapped. 

   “Hey! Stop fighting. Make up your minds.” Zander barked at them, coughing at the strain he had put on his voice.  “If you have to, leave me here. I get that I’ll be a pain to carry, and the guards here are gonna shoot you to pieces if you aren’t quick. Just don’t waste time fighting over what to do with me.”

   Nate swallowed. He hated that Zander was right, and he hated how calmly Zander was accepting this. He had always been ready to give up his life for the cause, even now that it was over. 

   “No. Shut the fuck up Zander, we’re gonna get you out. Somehow.” Lewis insisted. He muttered and pulled out a comm device.  “Where the fuck are they... Come on come on...” 

   He jumped when the door opened, but relaxed when the “guard” who came in took off their helmet to reveal Milo, very flushed and out of breath. 

   “Where’s Tara?” Lewis questioned him, pulling him into the room and closing the door. Milo shrugged, the mute boy signing something to Lewis. Nate didn’t quite catch all of it, but he understood that he was saying something about CeeCee. Lewis nodded.  “Alright, cool. Nate, help Zander up.”  Nate nodded, going over to Zander’s side. 

   “You ready man?” he asked, sliding his arm under Zander’s shoulders and lifting him up. Zander winced but nodded, pushing himself up. Nate slowly eased him up, helping him swing his legs over the side of the bed and stand up. The burns on his leg still looked horrific, but the bruising on his side was clearly the root of most of his pain. Even though it had been a few months, the abhorrent “care” the elites had given him hadn’t helped his injuries. Once he was fully up on his feet, he let out a small yelp and nearly collapsed. Nate held him up, trying to have a firm enough grip to keep him from passing out without hurting him.

   Milo and Lewis signed to each other passionately, occasionally checking a small comm device for a signal. Nate helped Zander limp his way over to them.

   “What’s the plan?” Zander asked. Lewis looked up at him.

   “We have one more person, we have to wait for them. I told them to get CeeCee but they aren’t back yet and they aren’t telling me anything, so honestly we may be fucked.” he sighed, running a hand through his greasy blonde hair. Zander’s face darkened at the thought that CeeCee could be in danger. He knew that the guards would kill her if they saw her trying to escape, no questions asked. 

   “How reliable is your friend?” he asked Lewis. He needed to know what the chances were that he’d be able to see CeeCee again.

   “They’re the best.” Lewis assured him.  

   “And CeeCee’s better than the best, you know that. If anyone could make it out of here it’s her.” Nate added. Zander nodded, anxiety still clouding his head. 

   After a few moments, Lewis sighed. 

   “I would love to wait for Tara, but we have to go. They might still be able to get out on their own, but we have to leave.”  Zander closed his eyes. He understood.

   “Then let’s go.”  Milo and Lewis both gave him sympathetic looks before putting on the helmet disguises and opening the door.

__________________________

   CeeCee was perfectly fine with breaking herself out, which was essentially what she was doing at this point. Someone in an elite guard uniform had opened her cell, motioned for her to come out, refused to touch her and then opened a vent and crawled inside. Unfortunately for CeeCee, this person was quite a lot thinner than she was.

   “I’m a big girl, you think I can fit in there?” she asked, peering into the narrow crawl space. The person looked at her blankly and shrugged. She had a sinking suspicion that this person was either deaf or didn’t speak the same language as she did. The person hesitated, but eventually they crawled through the vent and disappeared. Which was fine. CeeCee could handle herself, and this person was not obligated to risk their life to save her. It was just slightly odd that someone who couldn’t speak to her, didn’t want to touch her and couldn’t bring her with them would open her cell door and make it appear that they were here to break her out. 

   Oh well, life was weird. The only thing to do was to get out of here as fast as fucking possible, which was exactly what she planned to do. She slunk along the wall of the corridor, always looking behind her shoulder. She needed to find a weapon. There, just across the hall, an armed guard... Could she take them? She hadn’t been able to take care of her body the last few months, she didn’t know if she was strong enough to have a proper fight. She needed to be stealthy. She took a deep breath, walking up to them, measuring every footstep. Every step had to be quiet. Every breath had to be held. Once she was behind the guard, she leaped up, wrapping her arm around his neck in a headlock, pulling him down. The guard was taller than her, most people were since she was only 5′0, but she could use that to her advantage. Forcing someone who was six feet tall to bend over backwards to her height was a particular favorite tactic. 

   “Give me your gun.” she growled. The guard choked and clawed at her arm, but she didn’t let him go.

   “Get off him!” barked a voice from behind her. She spun around. A new guard was running up to her, but behind him was-

   “Zander?” she gasped, dropping the guard. Zander looked up at her and his eyes widened. 

   “CeeCee! Oh my life, CeeCee.”  

   She took a better look around her. The two “guards” were actually... Lewis and Milo? Lewis was still alive?

   “What’s goin’ on?” she asked as Nate helped Zander limp over to her.

   “We’re breaking out.” Nate answered matter of factly. 

   “Where’s Tara?” Lewis asked. CeeCee shook her head, trying to back up.

   “Tara? Breaking out? The fuck is happening?”  Lewis looked around at the other men.

   “Tara is supposed to be breaking you out.”  CeeCee remembered the strange person who disappeared into the vent.

   “Yeah, she disappeared. I dunno where the fuck she went.”

   “They.”

   “Sorry, they disappeared.”  Lewis cursed under his breath.

   “Fuck.”

   Zander coughed and everyone turned around to him.

   “No time... To talk.” he said with another cough. CeeCee felt her heart break. 

   “We have to get him out of here.”  

   “Yeah. Let’s go.”  Zander shook his head vehemently. 

   “No, you should leave me here, I’ll weigh you down. You have to go.”  CeeCee grabbed his shirt collar with her left hand and yanked him forward.

   “Alexander Ashworth, shut the actual fuck up. If you were any more damn stupid I’d swear that all those years around Kenji sapped your ability to make rational thoughts.” she snapped, roughly grabbing him away from Nate and starting to carry him away.  “Y’all coming?” she shouted back at the three other men, who were just standing in shock. They quickly shook themselves out of their surprise and scurried along behind her. Zander laughed quietly to himself.

   “I love you.” he whispered. CeeCee would’ve been more than happy to return the sentiment, but right now she was focused on getting her idiot boyfriend out of here.

   Something didn’t feel right about all of this. This was way too easy.

   “Lewis, did you kill the alarms on your way in?” CeeCee asked.

   “We were going to, but they were all disconnected already. It was weird, but we didn’t have time to question it.” he responded, looking over his shoulder. She swallowed nervously.

   “Now may be a good time to question it. I think that they’re setting up a trap for us.”  Milo looked over at her, eyes wide, before roughly jabbing Lewis in the ribs and signing “I fucking told you so.” Lewis winced and looked down.

   “I don’t know man... I thought maybe we were having some good luck.”  Nate sighed.

   “When have we ever had good luck, Lewis?” CeeCee chimed in, doing her best to look authoritative while also struggling to hold up Zander. Nate frowned at her.

   “So... Now what?”  Zander coughed, less in a “I’m dying” kind of way and more in a “notice me” sort. 

   “I swear on my father’s body that if you tell me to leave you and save myself, I’m gonna make sure you’re the only person who leaves here alive.” CeeCee hissed at him. He smiled at her weakly.

   “I know. But I really am just weighing you down, and if shit hits the fan then you won’t be able to drag me all the way out there.”

   “You don’t fuckin’ know what I can or can’t do.” she snapped. Zander sighed. 

   “CeeCee... Baby, I-”

   Before he could finish, a siren started blaring.

   “I guess they fixed the alarms.” Lewis sighed, grabbing Nate and Milo and pulling them along behind him as he started to sprint.

__________________________

   Zander appreciated so much that CeeCee would stick with him no matter what. He loved her so much, and that was why he was going to sacrifice himself for her when she couldn’t carry him anymore. He couldn’t be dragged around by her, risking her life and the lives of Nate, Milo, Lewis and maybe even Lewis’ friend Tara. There was only one hitch in his plan; CeeCee had a very strong grip on him and was one of the most determined people who had ever lived. There was no way she was going to let him go.

   “Shit! Fuck! Fuck!” Lewis shouted as he sprinted furiously down the halls of the prison complex. Guards had been alerted to the security breach and weren’t at all happy about it. A bullet whizzed over Milo’s head, narrowly missing him. Nate looked like he very much wanted to say something but was just in for the proverbial ride. Zander felt useless, like a slab of meat. He couldn’t run, couldn’t fight, could barely even stand up. How was he supposed to keep up? He couldn’t keep up, which meant CeeCee couldn’t keep up. A gunshot echoed in the corridor. Blood? No, they were fine. Keep running. Keep up.

   “Fuck, fuck, keep running. Keep going.” Lewis was chanting, a reminder to himself. Keep going. Keep up.

   The entrance was there. So close. Guards, blocking the way to freedom. No, not freedom, but close enough. As close as they could get. 

   “What do we do?” CeeCee called out. Nobody knew, but someone had to answer. Another gunshot. It sounded further away. One of the guards at the door fell, the others turned around. 

   Sirens still blared, so loud, so close, everywhere. How could anyone focus in here? They couldn’t, too loud. 

   “Just run.” Nate answered. That was all they could do. No time to focus, no time for questions. Just run. Just hope that running would work. So they ran. Zander felt like he was going to pass out. As he kept forcing his body to go beyond its limit, he suddenly felt like he was out of his body. That wasn’t it. He felt like he was still inside his body, but there was no control. Only beating heart, heavy breaths. Only running. Only sweat, dripping down his forehead and back. He couldn’t control his movements. He couldn’t control it when he collapsed.

Zander

Zander Ashworth has always been defined as the black sheep of the family. The son of one of OQ's richest families, with a long and unbroken chain of success and power in the government, he has always stood out, and not just looks wise, although his piercings and tattoos didn't fit the mold of what an upper class citizen "should" look like. He is frequently seen in poorer neighborhoods, standing up for minorities, donating money to people who need it and actively criticising his father and aunt, Michael and Genevieve, for their abuses of power in the government. This has made him a popular point of interest to the media. Gossip about Zander always gets high viewership rates. A popular rumour is that he has been in a secret off-and-on homosexual relationship with a lower class man in the who is described as "astonishingly unfriendly," as this man has appeared in public with Zander for all of his adult life.

   Yoshikazu Hirayama lovingly ran his hand over his wife Katrina’s pregnant belly.

   “Akemi.” he suggested. She laughed.

   “What does Akemi even mean?” she asked, laying her hand over her husband’s. He shrugged.

   “I don’t know.”  Katrina put her arm over his shoulders and thought about it.

   “Do we have to come up with a name tonight?” she wondered, feigning exhaustion. Yoshikazu looked appalled.

   “Kat, the baby is due any day and we haven’t thought about what we’re going to name him!”  She laughed, leaning into his shoulder.

   “I know, I know. But Kazi, it’s late, and you haven’t suggested any good names.” she sighed, looking up at him. He kissed her forehead.

   “That means we have to get through as many of these names as fast as possible so you can get to bed.” he purred, nudging his wife’s nose with his own. She groaned.  “How about Yuji?”

   “I don’t know. This is too hard.” she complained. 

   “If you want, I can go find the book.” he offered, playing with a strand of her hair.  “My only wish is that we pick a name from it. My grandpa would be turning in his grave if he knew that any descendant of his didn’t have a name from the old world.”

   The “book” was really an old journal with a bunch of names written down from one of the old cultures. As the story went, the Hirayama family didn’t want to lose their culture, so they wrote down the name of every member of their family and friends in this book so that future generations could name their children after them and the history wouldn’t be lost. It was also well known that the story was heavily exaggerated. It didn’t matter to Yoshikazu what the names in the book meant or if they actually meant anything, it simply fascinated him that he had the ability to keep his great great grandparents’ culture alive in some way just by having a name that came from that old world. Nobody remembered what Yoshikazu meant, but he loved it. He imagined men from the old world named Yoshikazu. Would they be fighters? Lovers? Shop owners? Were they kind? Did they keep pets? How did they feel when the bombs started to fall, how much fear, how much anger, how much grief? His name was a fragment of a time that could never be gotten back, and he wanted his son to have a fragment of that time too. 

   He came back out to the living room with the book.

   “How about Ren?” he asked. Katrina exhaled slowly.

   “I don’t think I like that one.”  He sat down next to her again, flipping back and forth in the book. The names weren’t in alphabetical order, which was slightly irritating, but he had flipped through it so many times, dreaming of the old world, that he almost knew every page by heart.

   “Kenji.” he said, his finger tracing along the faded and time worn paper. Katrina looked at the page.

   “I like that one, actually.” she mumbled, yawning and nuzzling into her husband’s shoulder. Yoshikazu beamed.

   “Then Kenji it is.” he grinned, putting the book on the coffee table and wrapping his arms around her shoulders.  “Kenji Hirayama.”  Katrina smiled.

   “What do you think our son will be like?” she murmured, closing her eyes.

   “If he’s anything like you, he’ll be a stubborn workaholic.” he teased, threading his fingers through her wavy hair. She chuckled softly.

   “And if he’s anything like you he’ll try and argue with everyone he comes across.”  Yoshikazu scoffed.

   “I do not do that.”  She half opened her eyes, a knowing smirk plastered on her face.

   “When I told you I was pregnant you tried to debate me on whether or not I was 100% completely positively sure.”  He laughed at the memory, blissfully reminiscing.

   “That was because I know that I always made sure we had protection.”  She rolled her eyes.

   “I’m nine months pregnant with your son and you’re still insisting the condom didn’t break. I can’t believe I married you.” she muttered, a soft smile pulling at her lips.

   They both sighed happily.

   “I love you.” Yoshikazu hummed.

   “I love you too.” Katrina mumbled back, already dozing off.

   “And I love you too, Kenji Hirayama.” he whispered, gently rubbing Katrina’s stomach as he felt sleep pulling at his eyelids as well.

   Michael Ashworth cursed and tossed his phone onto the table in front of him. His younger sister Genevieve looked up at him from across the room.

   “Now what?” she muttered, taking a long sip from her cup of tea.

   “Evangeline just went into labour.” he snarled, rubbing his forehead. Genevieve shrugged.

   “Then get to the hospital and hold her hand while she screams. Pretend you were caught up with work.” she said casually, grimacing at the taste of her drink. Michael growled.

   “How is this so fucking simple for you Viv? I slept with my assistant last night and now my wife is in labour!” he shouted, banging his fist onto the table.

   “Stop making such a big deal out of this. You slept with that girl, so what? Just go and sit by Evangeline’s side while she gives birth and pretend like your marriage is perfect.” she sighed, rolling her eyes. Michael stood up, knocking the chair over, and started pacing around his sister’s dining room.

   “Maybe you can just have affairs left and right, Genevieve, but I’m not like that! Fuck, the only reason I did it is because Evangeline is pregnant and she didn’t want to do anything until the baby was born, and now every time I’m going to look at the little brat I’ll think about how I fucked around behind his mother’s back with my twenty year old secretary!”  Genevieve sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. Life, she missed being able to smoke. She hated being pregnant.

   “It doesn’t matter. Go and have your tantrum somewhere else. The nanny is going to be home soon with Max and Gena and I don’t want them to see their uncle acting like a melodramatic fool.”  Michael clenched his jaw, the muscles in his face twitching.

   “Of course you don’t. Leader forbid you give me advice on how to get away with infidelity around Max! I’m still fucking shocked that Elijah hasn’t asked for a DNA test, seeing as the boy he’s been raising as his son has no physical traits in common with him!” he barked, grabbing his phone off the table and storming out.

   Genevieve walked over to the sink in the kitchen and dumped out the rest of the disgusting tea. She couldn’t care less about his infidelity, or her own. It was just a fact of life, no need to get upset.

   Nathaniel Sharp Sr proudly lifted his newborn son into the air.

   “Careful with him dear, he’s only a few weeks old.” his wife Erin chuckled, laying on the couch. Nathaniel grinned and pulled the tiny baby to his chest.

   “He loves it. Don’t you little Nate? Yes you do.” he cooed, cradling his son and smiling as the baby gurgled happily. He couldn’t imagine being a prouder man.  “I made this thing.” he said with pride, showing off the baby to his wife. She cocked an eyebrow and sat up.

   “Oh really? You made him?”  Nathaniel chuckled, passing the baby off to her. 

   “I helped.” he insisted, sitting down next to her. She shook her head and took her baby son, cradling him in her lap. As she held him, he started to cry.

   “Oh, are you hungry baby? Come here.” she said softly, lifting him up and pulling down her shirt so he could breastfeed. Nathaniel smiled, leaning his head on her free shoulder. 

   “I love you.” he murmured, kissing the side of her neck. She hummed quietly.

   “I love you too.”  

   When Nathaniel Jr finished breastfeeding, she pulled her shirt back up. Nathaniel Sr sighed.

   “Damn it. I wanted a turn.” he sighed, grinning. Erin pushed him away, laughing. 

   “You don’t need to suck on my boobs to stay alive, baby Nate does.” she said, gazing down lovingly at her son resting against her chest.

   “Grown up Nate needs your boobs to stay alive too, just in a different way.” Nathaniel replied with a pout. She rolled her eyes. 

   “You can have full access to my chest once our baby is old enough to be away from me for five minutes without crying.”  Nathaniel grinned, pressing his lips to his wife’s cheek.

   “Deal.”

   Liberty Pryce slowly woke up, exhausted and hazy from the anesthetics. Something had gone wrong while she was giving birth and needed a c-section, so she had been put out. As she came to, she heard muffled voices arguing outside. She looked and saw her husband, standing just outside her hospital room, angrily shouting at her doctor and a couple of anxious looking nurses. She was confused. Why was he so angry? 

   “William?” she mumbled groggily. One of the nurses noticed she was awake and scuttled over to her side. William and the doctor quickly followed behind.  “What’s going on?”  William glared at the nurses.

   “These morons lost our baby!”  

   “Now hold on-”

   “No, you said that you wanted to do some test on him, and he still isn’t back! How the fuck do you lose a child, are you completely incompetent?” 

   Liberty felt panic wash over her body.

   “My baby... Where’s my baby...” she muttered, her breaths coming ragged and uneven. Her husband leaned down and squeezed her hand.

   “I’ll find him. And then I’ll make these bastards pay for this.” he whispered, tilting her head up to look at him. She choked out a sob.

   “My baby... He’s out there... Oh life, my baby...” she cried, clinging onto his shirt as an anchor. William glared daggers at the doctor.

   “Find my son, or I’ll have your ass thrown over the wall.” __________________________

   Yoshikazu rushed into the hospital room, out of breath and anxious.

   “Katrina...” he panted, falling by her bedside.  “Sweetheart, I’m so sorry... I’m so sorry I missed everything...”  Katrina smiled and put her hand on his arm.

   “You didn’t miss much. I screamed a lot and there was blood.”  He frowned. 

   “I missed the birth of my second son. I should have been here.” he sighed, pushing his messy hair out of his eyes.  “Where is he?”  

   “They said that there was something a little off about his heart, they took him to go check it out.”  Yoshikazu’s eyes went wide. 

   “He has something wrong with his heart?”  Katrina shook her head.

   “They said not to worry, it was probably nothing. But they just want to be sure.” she reassured him, squeezing his arm. He nodded, anxiety clouding his mind. Surely it was nothing.

__________________________

   After the worst ten minutes of Liberty Pryce’s life, ten minutes of panic unlike anything else she had ever imagine she could experience, two nurses walked in cradling a crying, newborn baby. Liberty practically threw herself out of bed to take her infant back.

   “Oh! Oh my baby, my little baby, Carson. Carson...” she sobbed, stretching out her shaking arms to hold her son. William sat down next to her, putting his arms around her shoulders and looking down at his son as he cried. He held his wife and son, tears brimming in his eyes, tears of relief. Of joy. Nothing was going to hurt his baby, not now. Not ever.

__________________________

   “Look who’s back!” cooed a nurse softly as she brought back Katrina’s newborn son. She gently laid him into his mother’s waiting arms. Katrina smiled and took back her son.

   “You should hold him, Kazi.” she said, beaming up at her husband. Yoshikazu smiled and took him into his arms.

   “Hi...” he whispered.  “Jiro. My son.”  Tears brimmed in his eyes. 

   “Jiro Hajime Hirayama.” Katrina said softly, cuddling up to her husband as he cried over his new son. Jiro coughed and sputtered, opening his eyes. Yoshikazu chuckled softly.

   “Hey... He’s got blue eyes.” he said, excitedly looking over to Katrina.  “Like your dad.”  Katrina leaned over and looked. 

   “Heh... I guess I must have been too tired to notice earlier. He does.”  She softly ran her hand over the baby’s head.  “He’s so special, he’s got his grandfather’s eyes. The prettiest little eyes.” she whispered softly, kissing her son’s forehead.

   “Careful sweetheart, Kenji is going to be jealous.” Yoshikazu chuckled, handing Jiro back to Katrina.

   “Speaking of which, where is he? You told me he didn’t want to come.”

   “He’s with the neighbor, Mister Spiorad.”  Yoshikazu laughed.  “I told him he was going to miss meeting his new baby brother and he told me that he didn’t even want a brother.” 

   Katrina laughed with him.

   “Oh, well. I bet he’s going to be a great big brother once he meets little Jiro.”  She smiled and leaned up, pressing a kiss to her husband’s cheek. Yoshikazu turned his head so she was kissing his lips. He loved his wife, and he loved his two sons. He would do anything for his family. Anything.

   Nate woke up alone. No surprises there, Kenji tended to get up early and even when he didn’t he liked to get ready as soon as possible. Still, it would be nice to maybe, sometimes, cuddle in the morning? Or have breakfast together? Or take a shower with each other? Anything, really, would have been fine. He just wanted to spend time with his boyfriend, sue him. 

   He slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes. He swung his legs off the mattress and yawned, completely missing the note left on his pillow.

   “You still not talking to him?” Zander asked, sipping his tea. Nate scoffed.

   “Don’t see why I should.” he retorted bitterly. His friend sighed. 

   “Look man, I’ve known Kenji my whole life. Now maybe I’m not in a position to talk since we never slept together, but I’m pretty confident that you won’t get anywhere with him unless you just sit down and talk. The guy has the emotional maturity of a gothy 12 year old, avoiding him is just gonna fuel his teenage angst.”  Nate scowled and leaned back in his chair.

   “You’re right, you aren’t in a position to talk.” he snapped.  “If he has the maturity of a 12 year old, fine. But I want to be with a grown man.”

   Zander nodded in understanding. 

   “I get it. I really do. I just...”  He sighed and rubbed his face.  “You’re both my friends. I want you both to be happy, and since you two stopped talking I haven’t seen or heard from Ken and you’ve been miserable. Just call him, please?”  Nate stood up, heading towards the door.

   “I’m not going to talk to him unless he shows me he’s worth it.”

   Kenji had been missing for months. It was currently June, and the last time he had been seen, the raid, was at the beginning of April. Everyone assumed he had either been killed or captured in the raid, but now with the knowledge that he had been reading the final broadcast everything was thrown into question. Maybe he had been captured and forced to read it with a gun to his head, but it was practically impossible. That would have meant that the soldiers had invaded the base, gotten Kenji and driven back to the tv studio in under ten minutes. The only logical option was also the most unpleasant one; Kenji was the mole. He was the one who ratted out the rebels to the army, left the base wide open, and sat back comfortably while the elite soldiers raided the base and killed all the people who considered him a friend. Just the thought made Nate want to vomit.

   Nate was marched slowly down the hallway, a gun pressed into his back. He wasn’t handcuffed this time, but that was only because his prosthetic arm wasn’t on and Carson Pryce’s men didn’t believe he could put up a fight with only one arm. As infuriating as it was to admit, they were right, he was useless without his arm. Life, being disabled was annoying. 

   “Heard you had a date with the Empress.” the guard behind him said casually as he pushed his prisoner along. He had a helmet over his face and so his voice was slightly muffled. Nate blinked.

   “Are you... Making small talk with me?”  The guard laughed. 

   “I’m bored. If I wanted to, I could shoot you and have just as much fun. But small talk is less likely to get me fired.” 

   Nate swallowed hard. He hated being at the mercy of these people.

   “Yeah, I saw her.” he replied, trying to sound calm.

   “She’s somethin’ else, ain’t she?” the guard asked with a laugh.

   “Sure.” he mumbled. He didn’t want to be “chatting” with someone who found the same amount of entertainment in murdering another human being as gossiping about his boss. 

   To Nate’s surprise, the guard wasn’t taking him to the interrogation room. He was taking him to the prison infirmary. Lying in a hospital bed, hooked up to monitors and IVs, was a very beat up looking Zander. His eyes slowly flickered open when he heard footsteps. He smiled weakly at Nate.

   “Hey...” he coughed.  “Been a while.”

   “Hey.”  Zander grinned and turned his head slightly.

   “I know, I look like shit.” he chuckled. Nate was stunned for a moment before he smiled back.

   “It’s expected, a bomb went off in your face.”  Zander laughed, his laughter turning into coughing.

   “Technically the bomb went off on my ass.”  He motioned for the guard to let Nate come in. The guard nodded and stood sentry at the door, allowing Nate to sit down on the edge of Zander’s bed beside him.

   “Hopefully your ass is gonna be alright. I’d hate for CeeCee to live in a world without it.” he teased. Zander furrowed his brow.

   “How is she? Is she okay?” 

   “She’s fine.” Nate assured him. He closed his eyes in relief.

   “Thank fuck... I haven’t seen her at all. They told me she was here the other day, but they... They knocked me out so I couldn’t talk to her.”  Nate reached out with his one arm and squeezed his friend’s hand to console him. 

   “She’s okay, I promise. You know her, Zander, she’s tougher than all of us put together. She can handle it.”  He paused.  “But... She’s worried about you. She can handle it, but she’d handle it better if you were around.”  He didn’t know if that’s what his friend wanted to hear, but he knew he would at least appreciate the honesty. Zander smiled weakly.

   “Tell her I’ll be alright.”  Nate nodded.

   “Of course.”

   He felt a question nagging in the back of his head that he couldn’t ignore.

   “Hey. You look like you’ve got something else on your mind.”  Zander snapped him out of his thoughts. He knew him too well, didn’t he?

   “Yeah...” he mumbled. He sighed, rubbing his forehead.  “Do you... Do you know where Kenji was during the raid?” he asked anxiously, the feeling of emptiness that had been filling him these last few days coming back. Zander closed his eyes and sighed sadly.  “You do, don’t you?”

   “Not really. The night before, he told me that he had made some kind of deal and that a lot of people might die, but didn’t specify. He refused to tell me what he’d done, and when I started yelling at him he just stormed out.” Zander responded, quietly. His eyes looked distant and regretful. 

   Nate looked over his shoulder at the guard. He didn’t want to be heard.

   “He was the one reading the last broadcast.” he whispered. Zander looked shocked for a few moments before looking away.

   “I never thought he’d sink that low...” he whispered. Nate looked down.

   “Neither did I. But... He did.”  He sighed, feeling defeated.  “I wish I had some great insight but... Fuck. I still can’t wrap my head around it.”  

   The two men said nothing for a minute or two. Nate ran his hand through his hair.

   “Why are they letting me see you?” he wondered. Zander shrugged.

   “Probably so I could have the honor of hearing this news from someone I trusted.”

   “Or because we want the two of you in the same place.” the guard chimed in. Nate turned around.

   “You gonna fill the room with toxic gas?” he snapped. The guard laughed, coming into the room and shutting the door behind him.

   “Damn, Nate. I know it’s been a few months since I saw you last but were you always this bitchy?”  He pulled off his helmet, and there, standing in front of him was a very familiar face. Nate could have sworn he was dreaming.

   “Lewis?”

INTRODUCTION; RESERVED FOR NEW RECRUITS

YEAR: 215, N.E [ 215 years since the war, since the beginning of the new era ]

LOCATION: Toronto, Ontario-Quebec area [ no long the republic of Canada ]

The elite regime has been oppressing our people for over 2 centuries and refusing us the knowledge of the outside world that many of us have wanted. Our world has already been destroyed by war and disease, and now all of us who aren’t white, straight, cisgender or rich are shot and dragged away to literal dumps. We are not people to them, we are objects. And now, here we are. You have decided to join our revolution.

My name is Zander Ashworth, and I know what you’re thinking. Why am I, one of the richest of the rich, fighting to take down the system that benefits me more than anyone else? Because I care. As a child, I saw first hand as my poor friends were abused by my father’s military system and my aunt’s abuse of her influence in the healthcare system. Together with my good friend Kenji Hirayama, we have started a rebellion, and over the past twenty years we have slowly but surely shaken the public’s faith in the government.

Since you’re new here, you should know who’s who around here. Kenji is our leader, he’s in charge of basically all of our big decisions. Please don’t talk to him directly if you need something, he’s not the social type. Our primary weapons guy is Nate Sharp. He’s also not the most social, but he tries his best. If you ever have any kind of issue, talk to CeeCee Camryn. She’s also the most beautiful woman in the world and I understand if you feel drawn to her, but she is taken. Finally, there’s me. I fund the entire operation and my main passion here is uncovering the truth about our history. 

That’s it. Now you’re ready to talk to Nate and start your official training. Life be best with you.
