MERK: Home War

From The Beginning

Two hours later
Los Angels International Airport

Merk walked into the interrogation room where James was sitting handcuffed to the table
Next to James was a video camera
Merk sat down in his combat pants and a hoodie with a coffee in hand
"Hello Merk, I would shake your hand but I'm kind of handcuffed" said James
"Here you go" said Merk
He got up and undid his handcuffs, shook his hand then sat back down
"Thank you again for saving me" said James
"You're welcome, if you were still the leader you wouldn't of been that happy to see us" said Merk
"Oh I know. I'm sorry about my rebellion, this whole thing got out of hand with Messenger" said James
"Yeah it did. Now the reason why I'm here I'm not so work attire and the reason there's a camera here is because I want you to talk. We need your story to know what the hell happened. Tell us everything, tell us what made you start your rebellion, who Messenger is and where he came from, and how Messenger took control" said Merk
"My rebellion started when our communities began getting sick. The rural parts of California where this was all happening was being effected by Material poisoning and leaks from the mines. I vowed that I'd shut down these mines. We strictly began our attacks on the mines, we wouldn't fire until someone fired upon us. While I was in control we only killed a total of about thirty people maybe, none of them civilians. Now with Messenger in control his death tolls were in the thousands and skyrocketing in his first week. He was effective on sending a message but not the right message that I wanted to send. Messenger was picked up off an ambush, he from what I was told he betrayed his men in order to join us. From his uniform he was a Marine. He never told us why he did it but all he told us is that he wanted revenge. As we kept attacking the mines we kept loosing more and more men each time. More security would be posted up at these places and that's when Messenger decided something needed to change. He came to me and asked for me to step down so he can show what makes change but I refused. A week later him, along with rebels and FSB agents came to my house in Morro Bay and arrested me" said James
"Was it him who brought in the Russians with your rebellion?" asked Merk
"Yes, the Russians came to me with the proposal but I refused. Messenger on the other hand agreed to it. Behind my back he brought in Russians agents and I had no knowledge of it until I was arrested" said James
"Alright. So Morro Bay, this is where Messenger is based up at?" asked Merk
"Yes, from what I heard they have a wall around it and at least a couple hundred men. No one else knows this but this is there last spot with rebel forces. There might be little pockets here and there across California but Morro Bay is the last stronghold, it's their last stand. Messenger will be there" said James
"Are you sure about this?" asked Merk
"One hundred percent. He has no where else to go. The Russians have got to hate him by now, the rebellion is being fought back. He is done for" said James
"Alright, thank you for your statement James" said Merk
"So what's next for me? Do I get back my place in Morro Bay after you take him out?" asked James
"If there's a Morro Bay left after we're done with it I'll consider it. Until then you're being put in a holding cell until we can transfer you out of the state. It's too risky for you to be here" said Merk
"Transferred where?" asked James
"Don't worry about it, guards will be in momentarily to escort you, good day James" said Merk
Merk exited the room with the video camera in hand and closed the door
The next order of business was taking out Messenger
