Carlos- United Human Faction- Day 33
Carlos traced the cross tattooed on his wrist with his finger, wondering how his actions would be judged. He was a good man, but he had done terrible things. He was a murderer and thief, even before he had joined the Faction. He had transformed from criminal to vigilante, and he had Paul to thank for that. As much as his face had changed, Carlos felt no change in his soul.
His computer lit up with a new message. It was a top priority message from Paul. He immediately opened the attached document.
PRIORITY ONE ORDERS
REPORT TO SAN FRANCISCO FOR RELOCATION
DO NOT LET THOMAS OUT OF YOUR SIGHT
A Priority One message had to have come from Julian. They were being pulled out of Colorado, regardless of any rationalization or excuse-making. Thomas, reading over his "superior’s" shoulder, knew exactly what was happening. Julian wanted them out of Colorado. He wanted them somewhere they could be watched.
"They have their plans and we have ours. Do yo understand why we're here, brother? This place is our salvation," Thomas whispered.
Carlos was not so enthusiastic, especially considering how he knew Thomas had organized their small band of crusaders. He nodded his head nonetheless. Better to pray for God's help than argue with the devil.
