I waited for the doctor for what seemed like an eternity, but in reality, was only fifteen minutes. When he finally arrived, the inside of me rejoiced. "Finally, this dreaded pain will vanish!" I thought. But on the outside, I was cool and collected, as always. I always try to conceal my inner thoughts, but it proves to be quite difficult sometimes. So I let out a smile, which I haven't done for some time.

"Sorry for the wait, Reggie proved to be difficult. I had to get a few to help me. Now, please, lie down on the table." Carlos commanded. I did as he instructed. As soon as I laid down, the operation began. Of course, without anesthesia, it was very painful. Try I might, I could not hold the screams. They came in abundance. Even though he saw that I was in pain, he spoke anyways. But the fact that he spoke was not the thing that surprised me. No, the words that he spoke is what shocked me.

"Lilly, you know that this paradise is coming to an end. Any fool can realize that. The bandits are proving to be quite a nuisance, and supplies are running low. I hope I can trust you with the information that I am telling you. If not, then God save us all." He told me. I sat there, dumbfounded by what he was saying. "What are you planning? A revolution? A rebellion?" I asked. He nodded. "It is going to take place Friday, which is only seven days away. We have been planning this for almost two months. So, you might not be as prepared as the rest of us, but we need you. We need all of the help we can get, frankly." I kept staring at him. When I finally regained my senses, I asked "Who all is participating?" Carlos's face still held a blank expression. "I would rather not tell you. I can't take any chances. You will find out on the day of the uprising." he answered. "Well, if you are not telling me, because you think that I would confess, then I think that you should rethink this. If Carver finds out, which he probably will, it won't be just you who is punished, it will be all of us. So even if you don't tell me, they are still at risk." I explained. "Alright, then I will tell you, but not here. There might be people listening. Meet me in the supplies room in the next ten minutes. I will explain everything. Don't be late." I nodded, and exited the room.

As soon as I left the room, I took a quick look around, to make sure that none overhead us. The coast seemed to be clear, but I decided to get out of the area as fast as I could, just to be sure. On the way to the supply room, which was off limits, so I would have to be stealthy, I ran into Carver. "Hello Lilly. I heard that Reggie's operation was successful. Congradulations." I froze, unable to speak. Carver never talked to me just to congratulate me. he never does that to anyone! The only time that he will exchange a conversation with someone is if it is unavoidable. The thought frightened me. I then realized that I had not replied, and that he was staring at me. "Oh, sorry. I'm very tired. Thank you!" I said. He then smiled, and walked away. "He knows something." I thought. I quickly shook the thought aside. I needed to make it to the supply room. Six minutes has already passed.

When I finally made it, I checked to see if anyone was watching. Alas, there was someone. He was not looking directly at me, but he was near. I could not take a chance. I started to think of ways to get him to go away, when a voice came on his walkie talkie, but I couldn't make out the words, as he was on the roof of the building to my right. I must have been someone who ordered him elsewhere, because after they finished talking, he got off of the roof, and walked away. I scanned my surroundings one last time, and then slowly opened the door, and quietly shut it.

I turned to see Carlos. "Thank God, you've made it. I thought you forgot." he told me. "Carver stopped to talk to me, and there was someone watching the door, but he went elsewhere. Sorry." I replied. He nodded. "Those undergoing the operation is Luke, Mark, Sarah, and myself. Alvin and Rebecca are still thinking about it." he explained. Then, he continued. "This is not a perfect plan. Actually, in my opinion, it is not only idiotic, but it is impossible. But, the rest of the group seems to be fine with it, and I cannot think of anything better. On the last Friday of every month, we all have a meeting in Carver's office. We talk about the events of the month, such as: supplies that we have found, deaths, and any other important subjects. Of course, there will still be a few patrolling the area, but not as much as there usually is. At the most, there should be five members of the group patrolling the area, when there is usually ten or more. The meeting is not something that you want to miss. Basically, we want to sneak into the armory while the meeting is taking place, and get out of this place. We'll take to the woods, which is only about a quarter of a mile away, and we'll eventually make it to the city, where we will form our own group, and, hopefully, find more survivors." I

I stood there, motionless. Then, anger filled me. "That is the worst plan that I have ever heard! For starters, the armory is not too far from Carver's office, so if we get caught, Carver and his men will be on us in less than thirty seconds. Next, we have to find the key to the armory. Most of the time it is unlocked, but, during the meeting, it will probably be locked, no?" I asked. Carlos nodded yes. "And by then, they will already notice that we are missing! Even if we steal the keys before Friday, they will notice and Carver will eventually find out!" Carlos sighed.

"As I said, it is not a good plan. But it is, after all, worth the trouble. I cannot be in this group anymore, Lilly. I just can't. And the others agree. So, will you join us? Or will you stay here after the uprising, only to die of starvation a few weeks afterwards?" he asked me. I didn't have an answer. "I don't know, Carlos. I will have to think about it." I told him. "Take all of the time that you need. You know where to find me. Hopefully, you will come to your senses." And with that, he walked out of the room.

Author's Note: Hello ladies and gentlemen! I'm so terribly sorry that it's been a while since I have updated. School's been crazy. Got a few things to say, so o grab a Coke, prop your feet up, and listen. K?

Currently reading "The Chronicles of Narnia." Amazing book. You have to read it. You. Just. Have to. Understand? Also read "Misery" and "The Green Mile" by Stephen King. Also great books.

I have something brilliant in the works for this story. Well, wouldn't exactly call it brilliant. It's been done before. Well, it's been done in REAL LIFE. I don't think anyone's ever done it in FanFiction before. You might know what I'm talking about, but if you don't, then I'm not telling you. It's a seeecreeet! Might not do it, but probably will. I'll just see how things go.
