Indigo groaned and stood up. It had been three weeks since he arrived. The people were accepting and allowed him to cut his hair and bind his chest unlike the society's law. Now he was learning to fight and hold a gun. His trainer, Brit, would push him to work harder. At this point he was tired.
"Get up, you think the S's are going to let you live when you're laying there." She pulled him  roughly by the arm and made him stand. The training was intense and hard but it was the only way to live. For 3 days his brain had been else where and fuzzy. He miss counted steps and his aim was always off. Markie has even stated that in the mess hall he intensely stared at his mashed potatoes. Thoughts of his brother made it hard to focus. For many days had he struggled to get a lead. All he remembers was how his brothers voice softened when he was near by. Silence fell and angry foot falls were heard. The door was flung open. There stood the bosses news runner. His eyes were bloodshot and angry. You could see the tick mark. He huffed and grabbed a towel wiping his forehead on it.
"You," he pointed at at Indigo "the boss wants to see you." He froze. He hadn't done anything but something ticked of Brent. He slowly walked down the hall. The stone walls loomed closer and the flickering lights of torches was the only light. It was something that a person new to the bases in the wall of a cave had to know. He knocked on the dark oak door and heard a faint come in. He walked in and saw the head sitting at his desk.
"so you're the new member? Welcome." He walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder guiding him to a chair. "Take a seat there's a lot for you to know." Indigo sat down in a large red chair. It seemed to expensive for a group of outlaws. The two sat for a minute of silence as the boss looked around for a paper.

"This is a mission sheet. You can choose mission from the board in the lobby. It's a way to protect pluses or our town from revival plus games. Your brother was on one." Indigo perked up. His brother was on a mission. Was he safe or alive? He watched the mans face fall. "I'm sorry but he went missing in action. We fear he may have betrayed us or has been captured." Indigo's face twisted. His fist flew down on the table. His breath came in uneven gasps. He had just wanted to find his brother. Traitor tears found their way down his cheeks. He turned and started to walk out. His hand flew to his mouth as he let out a muffled sob. His brother was gone.
