Vivian finally finds enough strength to push the person off of her and throws them to the floor as she runs toward the exit. She rams into the door pushing it open as she runs away not slowing down for nothing. Once she leaves through the door the lady shuts off the television before turning back to me.

    "I know you were there. I know you trained her." "I have no idea what you are talking about." I lie. "There is no need to lie to me, child. I am Dr. Miller's mom. We have been planning this since he noticed you and your girlfriend scouting out the facility." I blush at the word girlfriend.

    "What exactly have you and your son been planning?" I inquire. "We have been planning to give someone enough proof needed to end this era and start a new one." She answers before sighing. "You have no idea how long we have been waiting for someone we could trust to finish our plan." "Why couldn't you guys do this?" "I'm too old and my son refuses to leave me behind." She says while rolling her eyes in an annoyed manner.

    "Besides," she continues, "the Superiors would catch us before we could do anything. Plus he doesn't know that the Superiors are the ones that decided to find an alternative to running tests. They talked the scientist into making people think they were killers just because they didn't want their money to go to waste." "How do you know that?" I ask. "I used to work for the Superiors. I was their secretary so to speak which reminds me." 

    She goes digging around in something behind the counter before emerging again. "This is a map of the building where the Superiors meet. I made it before I stepped down from my position." "Thank you, but I don't know if we will need it." "You will if you plan on taking down the Superiors which you might have to do." I nod taking the rolled-up map and the supplies I collected and heading back to the others.

The Next Day

    We reach the only news station in the area early in the morning. We plan to take control of the station and show the world the video of dr. Miller and the papers he left with it. Hopefully, both of those will be enough to start a riot that will lead to a better way of life. Right now we are trying to figure out the best way to take over the station.

    After hours of discussing we decide our best course of action is to sneak in while knocking out anyone that could get in our way. We take out all of the security and the newscast we see. Mike goes to the control room, Lily and Sandra man two of the cameras, I put on an earpiece to give everyone directions, while Vivian got ready to show the world how they had been lied to this whole time.

    I could feel everyone’s tension and nervousness. We know how bad this could go for us, but sacrifices must be made for the greater good of the world. “Are we ready?” I ask everyone signaling that this is the last time any of us can back out. I hear a yes from everyone before I nod to Mike to start the broadcast. “Good evening everyone,” Viv says to the camera, “today as you can see the news is going to be a little different; however, I can assure you that it is important that everyone in the world sees this.” Mike does a little extra work to make sure this is the only thing any device is showing at the moment making sure everyone sees this. We know it puts all of us in more danger, but this is more important.

    Halfway through our broadcast officials break into the newsroom. Sandra and Lily protect Vivian while she finishes up. Mike keeps everything working while I protect him. As soon as Viv finishes Mike cuts the footage to the news station’s video cameras showing the world everything that is happening.

    Mike and I fight our way to the rest of our group knowing we are stronger together. Mike shoots and I stab anyone that gets in our way. We meet up with the others who are still held up in the newsroom. “Guys let’s go!” I yell out to get their attention. We all follow behind Mike while he keeps the path ahead of us clear. Viv and Lily keep the other officials from getting too close to our backsides.

    We are almost out of the building when Vivian screams out, ”Lily!” Sandra and I turn around to see Lily has been shot in the leg and her abdomen. “Sandra, give me your gun and we’ll both throw one of her arms over our shoulder!” She quickly does what I  say. “Okay, Mike, how many bullets do you have?” “If we leave now I’ll have enough.” “Same for me!” Viv yells. “Good, let’s move.”
