We embark on our journey at dawn. We are led by General Harrell, and his second in command Jane Parker, is put in charge of food rations. She divides it very precise and with undivided attention, in order to prevent any altercations about uneven food portions. I grab my biscuit and water and go to sit down by one of my good friends in the force, Allison Handley. An average size brunette, not too tall or short, too skinny or big, just right in my eyes. A bit quirky, but nonetheless still fun to be around. I ask her, " Do you really think we can override the system?" "Is the Pope catholic? Are you kidding me Theo? We are being led by a former commanding general!" I try to to tell her that she doesn't know what we are up against, but as soon as I open my mouth I hear Jane's voice over a bullhorn "We leave in 5 minutes! pack up your things and move out!" Allison and I throw away our leftovers, grab our packs and head out into the remains of what was once our safe, free, home.
