Hey, just thought that I'd point out that this chapter is in third person,
it's more info than story, but it explains a bit.
~ Chapter 8 ~
The Missing Persons were just that. The organization was created the day that Alex blew up colony Delta421. A group of six "Criminals" had escaped only an hour before. Few people had ever known, the prisoners or the explosion killed those who had known not long afterward.
Duo, Mason, Jack and Blake were the four who had survived the trip to Earth. Mason had been a former officer in Oz, thrown in jail for treason, Jack's and Blake's pasts were unknown. Duo had been a gundam pilot in the first war. Supposedly dying ten years after his daughter, Julia, was born. The two other men who had been with them were their friends Samson and Adam, both having been shot during their escape, dying before they reached Earth.
On Earth the Missing Persons slowly gathered people in the same situation. "Dead" people who hated war, who wanted to stop the violence. People the government couldn't track, people who would never be accused. Now and then they'd come across a person like Hector. A person who didn't have a name or record. A person without a social security number or identity to the government. A person who couldn't be found in a computer, who had never existed to anyone but himself.
The Missing Persons were invisible. They stopped threats the Preventers never knew of. They battled in wars that would never be put in a book, unless under the category of fiction. They went unchallenged, unknown, unstoppable, until a new organization arose.
The Underground is much like the Missing Persons. They're as silent and as deadly and as hidden. They're the other side to an unknown war that was being played out in cities and towns that have no idea they're even being threatened. The Underground goes against the Missing Persons at every turn, as the Missing Persons does the same to them. But although the Underground knows what the Missing Persons's motives and reasons are, the Missing Persons were clueless when it came to the Underground.
What they did know was that Gabriel Barton led it. He led two lives. The first: a social aristocrat, smart, charming, sophisticated. He was the heir to the Barton foundation, and arranging for peace with Relena Yuy, a change that the Barton's have never before attempted. The second: a ruthless killer, leader of the Underground who some claimed to be quite mad.
Few people knew of his second life. He left no hints, no chance for someone to find out. The Missing Persons won't tell on him, they would never risk exposure. Gabriel chose carefully who he shared his secrets with. He didn't let just anyone into the Underground.
Gabriel twisted minds, ideas, and thoughts. He whispered sweet poison into your ear until you believed every word that came off of his honey- coated tongue. He played with the truth until it was what he wanted. He made you see it his way. He knew when your mind was set according to how he saw the world, and only then did you join the Underground.
