Chapter 33: Transferring Power

Cole and Cassandra returned back to the roof and they both looked around, "Where are they?" Cassie wonders aloud. "Don't know, Zeke said to meet here." Cole answers then they both looked over and saw that Zeke pops his head out, "Hey Cole, Cassie. Thought that was you." he calls out as she steps out with Kuo and Nix. "What's up, man?" Cole states as he grabs a stool and pulls it closer and sat down on it. "So we's all here. What's the big secret?" Nix asks him. "Yeah, Zeke, you sounded pretty confident over the phone," Cassie states as she walks up behind Cole and wraps her arms around his shoulders and leans against his head.

Cole lightly grips her arm, "It is official: the transfer devices are somewhere in fort Phillipe." He states Kuo stiffens as Nix just hums to herself. "Kuo?" Cassie calls out as she stood up and pulls her hands to her temples and rubs them. "You okay?" Cole asks her. "Little just pissed cause Bertrand copied her powers onto a bunch of nobodies," Nix states with a smile. "That's twisted, Nix. Even for me." Cassie states, "It's gotta be destroyed... we need to destroy it." Kuo states as she turns to them. "What? No, no. No way. We keep it for ourselves, rip off powers from everyone else. Yeah?" Nix states, getting Cassie to glare at her. "And become the torturers? If we do that, Nix. Then we're no better than Bertrand." she informs her and Cole just rubs her arm. "You don't understand-" Kuo states as she steps closer. "I don't understand what, bitch? That you feel used and violated by a machine?" Nix mocks her.

Cassie knew that they were going to butt head and she removes her arms from Cole. "You know what? I have only known you for FIVE minutes, and I am sick and tired and want to kill you!" Kuo shouts as she was ready to fight, but Cassie intervened. "ENOUGH!!!" she shouts at the both of them and they looked at her. "Destroy it. Break it. Use it or whatever, the point is we know where it is. But if you two are going to stand here and trade insults with each other then we'll lose it. So we need you two to suck it up and be grown-ups here. Got it?" she questions the both of them and they just exhale. Then Cole stood up and places his hand on Cassie's shoulder "Cassie's right, it won't matter if we all just stand here. Listen Fort Phillipe is huge. It's going to take an army to get in there, cover the exits, and sweep the interior." Cole informs them and then moves away. "If we're going to hit the fort, we're going to need an army of our own," Cassie states and then crosses her arms. "Any suggestions?" she asks the others. "We could team up with Laroche and his men." Kuo offers up one.

Cassie nods at her. "Yeah? Why are they going to help us?" Nix questions and they looked at her. Kuo sighs "Textbooks Hearts and Minds campaign. We give them something they really need-" Kuo states then Nix shot to her feet. "Yeah, like my foot up their ass?" she questions her. Cassie crosses her arms then pulls one of her hands up and rubs the bridge of her nose. "Like food, like shelter, like... like antibiotics. I haven't seen any of the Militia suffering from the plague." she states as an idea hits her, Cassie raises her head and looks at Cole and he turns to them. "Bertrand must be hoarding all the meds," he states. "We steal the meds from him and give it to the resistance." Cassie states and looks at Kuo. "Then that is what we give to Laroche," Kuo states with a smile. "Good call." Cole states and then Zeke stood to his feet. "I've made a map of all the Militia patrols, maybe it will help you find the stash," Zeke informs her. "I would love to see that," she informs him. "Come on," he states and they both walk back to the door. "I love it," she states with a smile.

Cassie just smiles to herself. "Good work, Kuo," Cole calls out to her. "This is great. You guys, this is going to work." Kuo calls out to them as the two were gone. Nix just looks at the two as if they were crazy. "What? Give away medicine, man? No, no, no that just gonna make these folks stronger. We need to make them angry and dependent on us." Nix informs them as she stood up from the crate. Cassie just looks at her, "What do you suggest we do then?" she questions her, she just smirks "I say, you dress me up as one of those Militia guys, and I go on an ass-kicking spree." she informs her.
