"Everyone here, stay where you are, I'll come get you when it's safe and you can all go home." He said returning from thought. The women and children came up with questioning faces, but some of the children had smiles on their faces. He proceeded to walk out the door and back the way he came, there was only one door the way he came through so he thought it should be quite easy. But before he could even cross the leaders office an alarm rang and realizing more would be on the way he hid behind the corner of the hallway that led to the bosses office and waited, it didn't take long for seven guards to rush by. Not wanting them to get to the workers he unloaded his entire clip into their backs and they all fell. He decided to unscrew the silencer as he didn't need it anymore. He went to the other room on the floor and opened it, the room was nothing more than a torture chamber. No one was in the chair, he closed the door and went up the nearby stairs. He proceeded to clear each floor until there was no one but the workers in the basement that he rushed to go get he walked down the same hallway and to the double doors. When he opened he was surprised to see them all waiting and looking at the door. He didn't actually expect all of them to wait. "Okay, you are all free. Follow me and I will lead you out." Alec stated to them, they were hesitant at first noticing he was covered in blood but complied. The children that were his age wore smiles on their faces and thanked him as they were walking up the stairs. "How did you people end up here anyhow?" He asked the large group, as they were walking up the stairs to the lobby.
"We were all kidnapped, sir" said a women in scrappy clothing. Alec ignored the last comment and led them to the front door. When he opened it most of them were confused as it was dark, he wondered why until he realized they hadn't seen sunlight in probably weeks.
"Do you guys remember where you live?" He asked questioning if they can actually get home safely.
"Yes I believe we're all fine. And, thank you" so with that said everyone went their separate ways. Alec once again imagined himself flying, and he couldn't believe he was actually getting the hang of using this thing. But he wasn't planning on keeping it, considering what Tess told him. 'No exceptions...' Tess's words continued to echo in his mind tormenting him. He flew back to the apartment in anger, and arrived very shortly as he was flying at a break neck speed. Immediately when he stopped in front of the door it flew open to reveal an angered Tess.
"What the heck are you doing, I-I can't comprehend why you would jeopardize the mission like that, oh the trouble I'm going to go through to cover yo-"
" shut up! I can't believe I fell for that act, oh we want you back, blah, blah, blah. I don't care if I was created in a test tube, I won't kill the innocent, especially children! I mean come on!"
Said Alec seething with rage but he progressively calmed down as did Tess. But they still were a little on edge.
"Okay I can see why your angry-"
"Angry! You told me I had to kill women and children! I am not doing anymore missions for the agency!" Alec interrupted getting worked up.
"Alec think about what your-" Tess tried to say but was again interrupted by Alec
"Oh I had a long time to think about the agency. And I'm through with it, all I want is a normal life, is that so bad?" Alec asked
"Alec, listen to me, I don't give the orders but if you try to leave the agency they will hunt you down. And it will ruin our rebellions plan." Tess said confusing Alec
"What rebellion? What plan?" Alec asked
"Ever since you were born we knew you would liberate us from the agency. The agency's rep is down played, to say the least. The agency rules with an iron fist, you think killing women and children is a bad mission? Others do it all the time! We plan on overthrowing the agencies control but we need your help." Tess said shocking Alec. But he quickly recovered and assessed the situation.
"Well I'm not sitting around and waiting for people to join the cause. But please Tess I need to think this through, I'm risking a lot and this is happening too fast." Alec said almost freaking out a little.
"Don't kid yourself they would kill you if you tried this alone, so your going to have to wait. And I'm sorry Alec but I have protocols for a situation like this and this protocol states that I have to reveal the rebellion. Maybe I said it a little too bluntly but you have to get it together." Tess said giving Alec a sad look
"So let me guess I'm not gonna be able to let my mind rest?" Alec said getting a little angry.
"Actually you will get to rest on this, you'll be an essential part of the plan ,yes, but your gonna have nothing to do with planning it. And as to where you will stay,...I'm sorry to say this but the rebellions not going to just accept you with open arms. I'll try to convince them, but your still going to have to find somewhere to stay plus it will down play the location of the rebellions base of operations...got any ideas of who will take you in?" Tess said pacing back and forth. For Alec this was happening a little too fast, and he didn't exactly know what to do with his anger. 'But just ignoring it will have to do for now' he thought a little unsure. Taking his mind off it he tried thinking of a place he could stay. 'Got it!' He thought.
"Tess I know exactly where I can stay!" He said with a smile...
