Chapter 29

Julian Bless

"For the next two days, we'll stay in one of the underground transit tunnels." Nev led them down a hall. "We have learned that if the leadership remains in one physical location for over two days, we eventually get raided. So, we try to stay on the move."

"So, you don't have one central location for Elysium leadership to meet?" Citizen kept pace next to Bless.

"Not necessarily." Nev opened a door and looked both ways down a T intersection before continuing. "It's dangerous to stay in one location for too long. The leadership of the network is loose but effective. It is the only way for the network to continue if someone's captured. And even if they're tortured by the Feds, they won't know enough about the networks as a whole to reveal enough information that could kill it completely."

"The challenge with this type of network is an alignment of goals." Julian adjusted his katana, so the tip didn't bang on the stainless-steel doorframe.

"Yes," said Nev. "Exactly."
