"...yes and we will have time too save that as well. Don't get on the bad side of me, Kurt. I honestly hate when peopke try to question my strategies. Makes me feel... unwanted" a sharp voice says.
Hiding behind a bush is hard when your nose is itchy.
"All I am saying is that killing everyone in Solitary will target Les Creator and more crowds" replies a man, with a deeper voice. His name must be Kurt.
"True, true. How about we 'assassinate' them. That way not one of us will get the blame" Kurt replies.
"Yes, but we are still paying the man. How else are we not going to get the blame"
"We pay someone to do it for us, so they pay the assassin, Marc"
"Where can we find an assassin?"
"Easy, on the streets"
They both laugh and start walking away.

A lady with a stern face comes towards me. I look at her ragged, black hair and dusty moonlight blue eyes. "You must be Rhianone Blanc. I am Lady Isabella" she curtsies, then looks at me. "I have come from Les Creator to bring you a message. You are too meet Lenny Brown at the town square tonight. He will discuss your specialty to our nation and continue to rise up as one. Please, do not tell anyone about this. If you do, we will cut the plan. Denyimg this role will result you in poverty. Accepting will give you great fortune"
"Uh..." Are the words that slip from my mouth.
"Do not hesitate to ask me anything, Miss Blanc"
"Erm.. What is this about?"
"Find out tonight. Now, no more questions please"
She hurdles along, one bag in her arm and heading back to the main square. Tonight, I will have too meet first hand man, the mayor of New Orleans, Lenny Brown. He is one of the first Sole's who settled here. I still remember him when I was little. His dark grey streaks which flow through his head. Dark, blue eyes with a straight-forward face. He is the only person to live past 50, in New Orleans.
Seeing Lenny in real life is like an unusual experience. Only staff of this town meet him. Even they don't see him usually.
When 5:00 arrives, I head out the door and into the town square. One thing really bothers me. Rhal. I will trust him. I will. But what if my choices aren't as good as they seem like.
Lenny is at the middle near the Christopher Columbus statue. He looks away, then glares at me.
"Rhianone?" his crispy voice hurts my ear.
"Yes?"
"I just want too have a little talk with you"
"Um... Okay"
"Well. Lets start from the beggining" he clicks his fingers. "300 years ago, The United States of America rose up into power. New states formed. Then came the nuclear war from two countries"
"Who?"
"The Soviet Union, of course. They wanted power. They started an attack on the US, as we will now call it, and thats when it wiped out the whole world. We then called a section of this world, New Orleans. From then, Les Creator, made a dome. But there is one thing that only my staff knows. Out of this dome, thousands of miles away, is the US goverment. Its where they develop states like us. We are no longer Louisiana. We arrive as one. The one we call New Orleans"
"What state were you from?"
"Texas"
"Whats that?"
"My girl, Texas was a former state of The United States. It is hot, muggy and dusty. I was raised there. Beaten, kicked by my parents. But one day, I found the exit. A new chance at freedom. I ran too New Orleans just as the nuclear attack was underway"
"Oh"
"So lets get back too the story. When New Orleans rose, they elected a new leader. His name was Yiul. Yiul was a communist leader. He-"
"Communist?"
"It means he wants no one too vote for anyone else, he wanted everything his way, or he killed you. Anyway, like I was saying, he was a dictator. He hated everyone. He was a Soviet. So one day, grew tired of him, so my friend, Terry, grabbed a knife, sliced him into pieces, but was blasted by a gun whilst escaping. They elected me as mayor, and thats how it all started"
"What about my brother?"
"Ah, I was just getting to that point. I called you over here to discuss your new role as co-mayor"
"Co-Mayor?" I am very confused.
"Yes, you seem to reach potential. But anyway, your brother is below the dome is solitary for the uprising. You weren't in it, were you?"
"No" I lied.
"Good, then I will see you tomorrow morning with your new job"
