Twisted

Chapter 15: The Mission

Gally

Gally was walking down the hall to Lawrence's office. Him and Zayn had been called to some kind of meeting. He had worked his way up the ranks. At first it was just because Zayn helped him out. But he had proved himself capable as a leader.

Gally had also taken his promise to change himself seriously. Once a week he would meet in the Med Wing with one of the nurses, they were slowly working through his memories and trauma, and what he had to go through in the Glade.

The Nurse said it was going to take a while and to not see results immediately, but he did feel less tense all the time. The routine of The Resistance and the freedom he was given helped as well.

As he climbed another set of stairs he met with Zayn at the top.

"Any idea what this is about?" Gally asked.

Zayn shook his head. Gally frowned, he had only met with Laurence a few times. The guy was a little odd, but so far seemed like a good leader. He had the right goals anyways. WICKED wasn't coming up with anything new in their research.

The guys knocked on the door and stepped into the dark office. Sitting at the desk was Laurence and leaning in a chair was Sarg and one other person.

"Gentlemen. Glad you could make it. Take a seat. You'll want to hear this." Laurence said waving his arm to the extra chairs. Zayn and Gally glanced at each other, and then sat down.

"Let's get straight to it. This guy works for me, he's one of our ...sources inside WICKED." Sarg said, pointing to the man.

Gally took a closer look. He was your average looking guy. If Gally saw him on the street he wouldn't remember who he was. Plan face, nothing remarkable about him.

"He's stationed in the guard. So he sees quite a bit, and Soilders talk. So he's got us some good Intel over the last year."

Gally just nodded. Unsure where this was going, and what it had to do with him and Zayn.

"Well, he was approached some time ago, somehow someone higher up found out he was a double agent-"

"I'm not sure how either. But he's kept his word, and has said nothing." The guard said.

"Anyway, John here, was approached and asked if he could help set up...some kind of...I'm not even sure. John?" Sarg said, turning towards the guard.

He sat forwards, leaning his elbows on his knees, looking around at the guys in the office.

"I was asked, if I could help set up an exchange. He has an important..package he needs to get out of WICKED. He didn't say what is was. I have no idea. He said something about information as well. I have no idea how he's going to do this. The sensors at each door would be set off. The scanners and detectors. But he insists on it."

"Who is he?" Zayn asked, "how can we trust what he says is true and it's not just a set up to get us captured by WICKED?"

"We don't." Laurence said, his eyes watching Zayn and Gally.

"Well that's encouraging." Gally muttered.

"Indeed." Laurence said, his eyes almost sparkling in the darker office.

"I didn't get word directly from the source. He wasn't that stupid. But he must be desperate to try get his information package out if the WICKED facility."

Gally ran a hand through his hair. Still unsure how this had to do with him and Zayn.

"The other set of information I have, is that all the smaller WICKED facilities scattered around are moving over to the big new building inside the walls."
