Trapped: Ending the Games

Chapter Three: Insidious Intent

Mia: I think we have enough to go public with this guys.

James: Perfect. So now we can put this out for everyone to see then?

Anthony: Not yet. We have to secure Seaside first. It's only a matter of time before they come here.

James: Why is that?

Maurice: Seaside is the only place with people willing to fight back in large numbers. We're the only place in town with intent since they're always right outside our turf.

Anthony: We need to hunker down and increase defenses first. Maurice. Mia. Meet with Demetrius and Frank to double check our arms.

James: Who's Frank.

Anthony: We runs Seaside's only pawnshop. It keeps money flowing and is the place we keep firearms in the case of the MIB or the government attacking our turf.

James: You think the US government is involved?

Anthony: Not necessarily, but I wouldn't say no either considering everyone else going on right now.

Mia: Anthony you should check in with everyone to make sure they're ready incase we're attacked. 

Anthony: Got it.

Mia: James you should head home.

James: Alright.

Anthony: Actually I don't think that is safe right now.

James: Why not?

Anthony: Because the only people who knew about the underground bunker and what actually happened down there is us and it's only a matter of time before they put that together and go after you two. I think you should stay here in Seaside for a while James.

James: Are you sure?

Anthony: Of course. There is a small room for you in the Seaside motel on the beach and at this point you're practically a Seasider like the rest of us "degenerates."

James: Well if you think it's the safer option then I'll stay.

Anthony: Alright. We'll give you a few change of clothes until you can safely go back to your place and gather your things. Just tell the guy up front I sent you and he'll show you your room.

James: Thanks Anthony.

The four brake off to do their assigned tasks while on the other side of town a secret meeting is taking place.

???: What do you mean they got proof?

The Dealer: Well. James took photos of the old disposal closet.

The Enforcer: Anthony got a video of the barracks and of me before I chased him off.

???: Okay so we just need to have articles debunking it then.

???: Sir if I may.

???: Proceed Agent Connor

Connor: It is getting harder to "debunk" these claims as they surface sir. Each time, more and more members of the general public demand a investigation into the games and we can only deny and delay things so long.

???: Well we just have to stop them for a while and clean up any winners out in the public so there aren't anymore viable sources.

Connor: Sir. Each time we take one out the public also digs deeper.

???: So we're fucked either way and the boss is getting increasingly angered over the information getting leaked out of Portsmith...We may as well go nuclear then in our efforts.
