Chapter Seven

"The New Sons of Liberty?" asked Jacob. "Are you saying this is some kind of resistance?"

"Exactly." the high-ranking woman said. "Are you new here?"

"Yeah," Jacob responded. "I was being chased by Security-bots and fell down into the sewer and ended up here."

"You're not gonna turn us in, are you?" she asked, her hand hovering over her holster.

"Uh, no." Jacob clarified. "It's just been a long day. I'm not entirely sure what happened. I was about to get my daily vaccine injection, when it occurred to me that the vaccine was messing with my mind."

"I'd better take you to see the leader." she said.

"The leader?" Jacob asked.

The two of them walked through the halls towards the Leader's office.

"The leader founded this place." she explained. "They say he escaped the Minneapolis re-education camp and built this place in the sewer."

"He started the resistance?" Jacob asked.

"Sort of," said the woman. "there were several revolutionary pockets scattered around the nation but the Leader brought them together as the New Sons of Liberty."

They made it to the Leader's office. It was dark, with no lights.

"Probably to conserve energy." Jacob assumed.

There was a man in the corner, his face obscured by the shadow.

"Sir, we have a new recruit." she said.

The Leader stepped out of the shadow and there he was... The man Jacob had no way of knowing, was named Henry Freeman.
