Julian- United Human Faction- Day 54
Julian
had been wrong to trust Jeremy. The Senator was the enemy, and John was a
traitor, but Jeremy’s words were stuck in his head. They really were on the
same side. They always had been. They both wanted the same change. Their only
disagreement had been the methodology.
Julian
understood what Jeremy had accomplished, but it had taken days for the
realization sink in. The senator was finally free, escaped from both John and
Richard, each in a different way. Julian had seen the Senator pull off a myriad
of tricks in his elections, but never expected to fall for one himself. Revenge
was not essential, though. He had a mission, and he planned to complete it. He
and Paul were leaving for Cheyenne, Wyoming within the hour.
Julian
finished packing his things and donned the Mask before meeting Paul in the
lobby of Memorial Tower. Paul only nodded to him and began walking toward their
transport. The route they were taking would cost them days, but security was a
priority. The armies were safe in Richard’s hands for the time being.
The
Masked Man and his friend made their way through the parking lot, which served
as a preparation zone for the movement. Everything from bazookas to computer
servers were being loaded into those transport trucks not already packed with
human cargo. Julian and Paul loaded themselves into an IFV near the middle of
the convoy. They planned to remain out of sight until they rendezvoused with
Richard, hiding in plain sight, as they always had.
Paul
seemed preoccupied the entire first day of travel. He spoke only when spoken
to, and even then his statements were brief. He seemed distracted, looking out
the thin windows for long periods of time, then shuffling through his pack as
if he had forgotten something essential. It was obvious that the item was
always present, though. The behavior was unnerving, but Julian decided to keep
his mouth shut. It was better to move forward than to fixate on the present.
