The Sectors

Chapter Three

Sector: East End

Name: Nathan

Age: 17

The night before i met Connor was rough.

I was working at the bar, like i always do, and some idiots drank to much and started a bar fight.

I tried breaking up two people and they turned their attention on me, they kicked me punched me, one even broke a bottle and cut my leg, soldiers came in and stopped everyone and forced them to go home.

After they all left my boss, Mr. Ralph came out from the back and gave me some stuff to help fix up my leg then yelled at me for not being able to break it up.

He almost fired me, but luckily i still have my job.

Mr. Ralph wanted me to come in early to help clean up the mess from last night I was going out back to throw out the garbage from the fight that broke out but as i turn around after throwing it out, i see the two men that were beating me during the bar fight and they wanted to finish what they started.

"No one to help you now kid" one of them say with a grin. I was frozen i couldn't move or speak, i knew what was about to happen. One of the men punches me in my jaw and i fall down on the ground.

I wish that punch knocked me out but it didn't. I felt every punch they hit me with and every kick. It was painful.

By the time i got back up they were gone and i seen someone in the shadow.

Hours later.

After i helped Connor get away from the soldiers he told me to rip my stitches and leave a trail of blood so the soldiers lose our trail.

Connor told me to meet him at the east end clock tower at midnight.

I have some time before that so i head back to the bar and hopefully Mr. Ralph helps me stitch my leg back up, i hope he isn't to mad at me for leaving earlier.

When i get back to my work i walk inside and Mr Ralph looks at me in a angry way.

"Where the hell did you go i could've used your help Nathan, do you even want this job?" he says to me in a harsh tone. "Yes sir i do, those guys from last night attacked me and someone helped me" i pull up my pant leg and it's still bleeding not to bad though, Mr. Ralph stitches my leg up for the second time.

I help out at work for a few hours to make some money and i ask if i can leave work early and Mr. Ralph lets me.

I start making my way towards the clock tower where I'm meeting Connor and i see a few soldiers walking towards me with a girl.

"Excuse me sir have you seen this man anywhere?" the girl holds up a wanted photo of Connor and i hesitated a little "no ma'am i haven't" i say as i try to walk away from them but one of the soldiers grabs my arm "sir you're coming with us" he says in a tone that scares me little "why? I haven't done anything wrong" i say to him worried like they knew i helped Connor.

"Lift up his pant leg" the girl ordered, i tried to fight out of the man's grasp but he is way stronger than me and i can't get away, they lift up my pant leg and see the stitches on my leg. "What happened here?" the girl asks me "a bar fight broke out and my leg got cut last night" i reply back sounding more pissed than i intended, " if it happened last night why do these stitches look like they were done today?" i don't answer her.

"Take him back to Command Jones and have him question the boy see if he knows where Connor went to" she orders the man holding my arm and he begins to drag me to the truck "no please i swear i don't know anything about him it was just a bar fight!" i again tried fighting but it doesn't work and i feel handcuffs being put on my hands.
