Eden's Gate

Chapter 18 - Thank You Dutch

I'd heard about a crazy conspirator who had a tonne of explosives being nearby. I drove over to the man's house, past the Sawyer Residence. I pulled up, jumping out of the car before walking up to the house. The entire perimeter was surrounded in chain-link fences with barbed wire stopping anyone from climbing over. The gate to the house was open as I walked into the ground. Spotting a man stood next to a burning car, I walked up to him.

"Hi, you must be Zip. My name's Jasmine, but everyone calls me Rook." I introduced myself, but he seemed to ignore it.

"Thought you were gonna take off. So... Say it.. say it at the same time as me go. – WE ARE SLAVES TO THE GOVERNMENT" Zip shouted quickly. I stood there confused. He looked at me before shaking his head. "Good enough."

Please, not another nut-case like Larry. I pleaded to every living being.

"Mind Control. That's right, partner, it's been their plan all along. YOU KNOW IT. I KNOW IT." He screamed.

Goddamnit!

"And you wanna know how they're doing it?"

No, not really.

"It's the FOOD."

Of course, it is... why did I have to meet another crazy?

"WELL, NOT ANYMORE! You 'n me are gonna FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK the government. Sideways."

Lovely.

"Name's Zip Kupka. I'll explain on the way. C'mon!" Zip ran off to his truck. I followed, Boomer and Peaches jumping in the back whilst I sat in the passenger's seat. Zip started driving whilst he spoke. "World's not comin' to an end like the cult says. That's a demonically driven government ploy of a scare trick to pull our attention away from what's really happening. This place is ground zero for government fuckery. Baby farms. Chemtrails. Weather manipulation. Pesticides. Genetically modified this, that and the other. I did some diggin' around the stockyard up the ways and found barrels full of that brain meltin' stuff."

Is he talking about the Bliss?

"You know what I'm talkin' about. THE BLISS. They're feedin' it to the animals, and we're EATING them – chemicals of conformity, and what we NEED to do, is destroy the tools that are indoctrinating us." He drove, explaining his conspiracy. He pulled over, jumping out of the car. I followed him as he continued. "And by we, I mean you. I've got a bond with those animals. I can't bring myself to put 'em down. That's right, Deputy. I'm talkin' euthanasia. It's the only way. Make sure you get 'em all." I followed Zip as we headed to the Faltiron Stockyards. We stood on a hill, looking at the stockyards. Zip teared up. "There they are, Dep. Oh, sweet angles." I rolled my eyes as I looked at the stockyard grounds. I pulled my sniper rifle up as I whistled, sending Boomer and Peaches into the yard. I aimed my rifle at the Peggie on the roof. Making sure my silencer was attached, I fired at the Peggie, taking him out in one shot. I turned my scope to another Peggie on the ground, firing at him too. I moved positions before taking aim at another Peggie, shooting him quickly. Boomer and Peaches were busy pouncing on different Peggies, taking them out from the sides, whilst I focused on the Peggies in the centre. Zip just stood there, not helping take out the Peggies as Boomer, peaches and I did all the work clearing out the stockyard.

This guy is just like Larry. The last Peggie crumpled on the ground as I stood up. Taking one final look at the yard, I walked forwards once I was happy that all the Peggies were taken care of. I collected the Peggie's ammunition as I gave a loud whistle, calling Boomer and Peaches back. I walked up to the pens, each holding an animal or two. I pulled out my pistol, before aiming and firing at the drugged animals.
