Chapter 12



Susan couldn't take it anymore. The stares, the looks the feelings she was getting from John. I am not a whore, she tried to remind herself but a familiar unclean feeling came over her. She couldn't take it anymore. Silently she backed a bag with few clothes, blankets other provisions and slipped down below, unable to leave the beacon of light, or to stay there either.

Susan made sure not to wear her uniform but still wore dark colors. Since majority of her civilian wardrobe was made up of black clothing this was not a problem. Down Below, she continued her dealings, and left the information with different contacts of Michael and Marcus. She began staying with a small community. She helped them in the spare time she had. They were always looking for work. She prepared them for meetings with Michael to join the Narns in the last defense of Babylon 5. She saw to it they didn't slip that it was she who helped them.

It was during this period, that a child was lost in that community. She volunteered to help the search teams. While all the others went in twos and threes, she went alone. It was in the darkest corners of Down Below that Susan heard a scream of a child. She ran there silently and saw a man dragging the small child away. Susan ran to him and without a word kicked the kidnapper in the stomach. He dropped the small boy and struck her back. The two engaged in a long fight and Susan yelled at the child to run. It was as he did this that the man's back ups arrived. Many of them. She did what she could and managed to fight nearly 6 at once, but then another came, and she weary, weak from her prior injuries fell. The whipped her with belts and she lay there till she passed out, bled to death in and externally.
