War On Peace

Chapter 9

Everyone is asleep except me. I can't sleep. I decided to get up and go for a walk. I slip my shoes on then take my pass and leave. I am walking around when I see Ezekiel heading towards my room. I stop him before he can go in and wake everyone up.

"Sam, just who I'm looking for." He is still mad at us for not telling him what we found earlier today. "It's time. I have everything all set up, it will just be us three."

"Alright Sir." I follow him to his office. Rocco is sitting in the chair with restrains so he can't run.

"Hello," I say bending down to his face. "Now who's worthless." I crack a smile.

"Sam, sit down," Ezekiel commands. "We aren't killing him here. I want to know what you found."

"That knife," I glance to the one on the table. "If you had sent us to begin with we would have got a lead much quicker." I am still standing. "We did find a lead, but it led to a two way choice. Die or leave with a message."

Ezekiel shows great interest. "What message?"

"He said, Surrender or die. We learnt how to get to their base, but it won't be easy, no way to get close without being seen."

"And Jax?"

"He's alive. That's what the guy known as Erin said."

"Good. Bad that they have him, but good he is still alive. They have officially declared war on us." He walks around the desk. "Thank you for telling me this, now we can do this." He releases Rocco then drags him out, we walk out to the grounds and into a building I've never seen before. He shoves Rocco into the middle of the room and then exits closing the door behind us.

"What you going to do? Kill me?"

"We'll see." I say. I've put my tough act on. I look around, this room is fairly spacious. The floor already has blood stains so I can only assume this room is used for torture or the Commander has some very weird hobbies. "You know, I'm squad leader now. I get to tell underlings what to do." Of course only when I have to. They are my family any other time. "I beat up the tough baddy my first day out. My squad has the fastest recovery badge."

I am playing with him, dragging out the torture I am about to inflict on him. I kick him in the shin and he falls to the floor. "What? Are you not going to fight back? Are you that much of a chicken?" I laugh at him.

"I was wrong." He hangs his head. "I treated you like scum on my boot. I deserve to die. What I did, those things lost me my respect, my ranks. I'm no man." It is pitiful. I actually felt bad for the dude.

I kick him again. "I wish I didn't have to kill you, but I made a deal and I have to hold up my end of the bargain." I kick him again, I can hear his ribs crack as the blow sends him to the floor. Ezekiel does.'t leave me any weapons to kill him with. I see a pipe leaning against the wall I get it and then walk back over to the lump on the floor.

I raise the pipe above my head. "I'm sorry." I bring the pipe down. I feel it break through the skin, he lets out a blood curdling scream and then nothing. Instant death, I remove the pipe and throw it across the room then walk out.

Now I really can not wait for this war to be over. Knowing my luck I will die before this is over.

"There's a meeting in the mess hall."

"That's weird I haven't been told about any meetings."

"It is last minute. No one knows what it's about."

I take my team to the mess hall. There is a projector with Ezekiel on it waiting. There is also a clock ticking down the time until the meeting starts. This is the most people any of us have seen in the mess hall. Everyone is here.
