Chapter four:





Susan and Michael knew they had to find her. And they knew how to do it. They were experts in the game of Down Below. They quickly dropped David with his parents before returning to her quarters to prepare.

Susan called into CnC with orders for the next few days. She gave maintenance and pilots their orders, called off the training sessions and informed John that they would be busy and were not to be paged unless there was an emergency. As she did this, Michael did the same with Security.

They knew they should get rest, and leave early. They also knew they had to be prepared.

They both took out black backpacks and filled them with, fold up sleeping bags, blankets, clothes, food, string, drinks, med kits, two uniforms each and a cloak. They both bathed knowing that Down Below they would not be able to do so. As this was finished they went to bed.

Waking at five thirty they both dressed in uniforms, and boots, both in black and Susan's had a three inch heel,. Their uniforms had rank bars and their cloaks had the Ranger pins Jeff had given them. On their wrists were tech pieces which wrapped around like bracelets. These thick and wide bracelets worn by all members of the Army of Light had built in flash lights, watches and other useful gadgets. Their belts held their pikes, and guns which Michael had provided. In the emblem piece of the belt, which opened was a lighter that all freedom fighters wore as a symbol of the light they fought to preserve. Susan's hair was tied in a bun and both donned the backpacks before slipping into the night.





Author's note. Some references to the uniforms are made up but the basics are the same. I like it better this way. Please continue to review.
