Quick Question!! If I started a little random story thingy where you all ask me questions and I answer them (about like anything) would any of you be interested in looking at/ reading it? I've been considering doing one out of boredom... 😂😋

Chapter 52 - Only Begun

Tobias

"Okay. I'll be there in a few minutes. Can my dog come with or else it'll be longer." I ask Josh over my phone.

"Yeah, sure. Just get here fast." I hear him hang up.

"Come on Indy. We gotta go." I start running and Indy catches on, running along side me, keeping up with my pace pretty well; better than I expected.

I read in that book that German Shepherds are very athletic dogs, so I guess that the book wasn't lying.

Imagine how fast he'll be when he's fully grown.

Wow.

In probably like three minutes we are at the main building and I make Indy slow down since this area is more crowded with people; making it harder to run through.

The Main Building has a pretty logical layout. The one entrance is where the train goes by, the other is where I just came in which attaches to the Pit. The main room is where the secretary is, and where few meetings are held, but the room isn't that big. A couple doors branch off of it and they are offices for some leaders. Also off of that room is three hallways. The two to the left when you come in the Pit entrance are just long hallways with doors that are all offices and spare rooms. Then the one to the right is a door that goes to the big meeting room. That room is just a huge room with a big table with chairs around it, also a erase board and projector are at the front. Anything important is held in there.

I take Indy down the second hallway to my office. I figured I should leave him here so he won't get excited for how important Josh made this sound.

I push open my office door and guide Indy in. "I'll be back soon. Don't cause too much trouble." I pat him in the head and close the door. Then I speed walk to the meeting room where I'm assuming Josh is.

"Four! There you are! I need your help, like, now." Josh says just as frantic sounding as he was on the phone a few minutes ago.

"Okay then. What's up?"

"I'm not sure how we are going to do this... I mean, we can't get in that building right away. We have the approval to get them out, but at the moment, we don't have all of the information or all of the defense we need. Plus, we don't even have people to go in there yet! And where the hell is this place anyway? I mean, we know it's outside the fence, but where? There's a huge world out there and we can't go on a goose chase to find it!" Josh rambles running his hand through his short blonde hair.

"I hear what your saying, but how is this so frantic that it needs to be dealt with today? Could we just work on this with all of the leaders tomorrow?"

"I'm sorry, I'm just really stressed now. But, you may want to see these." He hands me a thick beige colored folder with a ton of paper in it. "Erudite printed them out from the computer system in that building."

"What's in it?" I take the folder and open it, then sprawl it's contents out onto the huge oak table.

"They were labled -Files- in their computer. It seems like they've inspected every person from head to toe and every single hair on their body, every scratch, scar, burn, bullet on them. Not just the average height, weight, eye skin and hair color. Just, look over some of them. You'll get it." He looks away from me, clearly either nervous or upset.

"What makes these so sp--"

I skim my hand over the one name that haunts my best dreams;

But my worst nightmares.

Beatrice Prior

It's a thick packet with a staple in the top left corner.

They have files on her too.

"Four." Josh's voice shakes. I look over at him so see tears brimming his eyes.

I've never seen this side of him. I've only ever seen the strong leader Josh; the one who would hold our whole faction together through everything; the Josh who believed that these people could be saved.

"They know way too much about all of these people." He shakes his head, loosing eye contact with me again, his eyes drifting toward the stone floors.

"I think we may be underestimating our competition in that building."

"How many--." I swallow bile rising up in my throat. "How many files of these people are there?"

"I counted about fourty, but Erudite said they didn't print them all. A little more than half were printed they think."

"Did they have files on your sist--"

He nods cutting me off.

"I'm sorr--"

"I'm not the one who needs sympathy right now out of the two of us." He still doesn't make eye contact. "I recommend reading all of them, but when you're alone. I'm here if you need to talk, but read her's first." He signals toward her packet in my hands and then walks out of the door.

Hands shaking, I look down at the packet with her name on it. There's a red 'x' on the front of it, clearly printed intentionally that way; not made by the Erudite or Josh.

I take a deep breath and flip to the first page.

My hands still shake as I slide my back down the wall, clutching the packet in my hands. I feel hot tears stream down my already sweating face.

How...

How do they know all of this?

Everything from her birth parents to her blood type to her virginity.

But then they say she has seven fears still...

Who knows how accurate that is now though. But we never did have fear simulation serum to actually know the truth.

Maybe she still had seven fears.

Or maybe her sixth fear came back.

I hope he hasn't tortured her with serums or any of that. The pain she's been through with Jeanine was already enough. Plus, he's already put her through so much pain.

She just never gets a break.

She hasn't stopped fighting.

The war here may be over,

But it seems like her's has only begun.
