today was the day. jake decided he would get up early to go to the slums square, when he got there, the trucks were just pulling in. already lines of perverted men,scum,waiting to see if they can snatch up any girls. jake was just going to grab two people his age that looked as if they were mentally stable.
vvvvrrrrrrrr.
the trucks were opening, first he saw a boy his age,he hastily ran towards him.
"come with me, ill explain details later, do you have any family?"
he got a simple and quiet "no" very shy, or just scared.
he looked over at the second truck to see a girl fall out, perfect. all of the men were already on her.
"what a shame" jake murmured to himself. once they have you, there is no getting out.
but as he went to inspect the third truck, he heard painful moaning behind him.
he looked to see two men on the ground, and the rest retreating. perfect.
he slowly walked up to her. "i know this sounds weird and your scared, but come with me, you have no reason to believe me, but i wont hurt you."
he expected her to fight him more but all he got was a sharp "you promise?"
"yeah, now lets go."
"wait" she blurted out.
"what" jake exhaled sharply.
"my mother, we have to bring her" she pointed to a small lady, clutching a torn piece of cloth.
"grab her and follow me, you to" he motioned towards the boy.
"believe me this is for your own good."
jake led them back to his small home.
once there, he said a quick welcome, and immediately turned to them.
"why did you take us here?" the girl asked quickly, holding her mothers shoulders.
"first i need to ask you something, do you vow never to tell anyone or talk about what i tell you."
they both pondered the question for a moment and nodded.
"sure"
"yeah ok"
"this government is corrupt, and i plan on going in and fixing it, somehow."
they both gasped, and gave him a questioning look.
"the pills we have to take every single day, are fake" he hastily runs and grabs a pill, just to cut it open and reveal the vacant insides.
"what!? why would they do that! what have we been living for?"
"nothing"
since we are so acquainted, whats your name son?" the elderly mother asked.
"my name is jake"
"mine is todd"
"and mine is kira"
her name stood out.
they knew this now, but thought nothing of it, because the big problem walked in the door,
"jake you never play anymore!" rose yelled
