Chapter 7-5: Neglected Motion - Lucky Catch


Paul- United Human Faction- Night 70

            Thomas’ scout was not as careful as he should have been. A quick strike to the back of the man’s neck ended his night’s mission. Paul pulled off his mask, certain that his identity was safe, and that his breathing was restricted by the solid faceplate, and began searching through the enemy’s possessions. The dark-clad man’s only appropriate clothing was his “Gearslinger,” as the label plastered to the largest pouch of the bag made abundantly clear. Inside was a jumble of papers, several tools, and a selection of protein bars. It was obvious the man was not an experienced woodsman or an experienced revolutionary. Of course, that fact should have been obvious when the scout was caught off guard by a liberal arts major from San Francisco.
            Paul pulled everything out of the pouch. It would be easier to take inventory if he could see what he would be stealing.
            Among the religious propaganda Thomas had been preparing since he joined the revolution, Paul found several maps, including one of the enemy’s home base. Paul couldn’t help smiling, knowing that his plan had gone far better than it had had any right to. He quickly gathered the maps, food, and ammunition from the scout, then handcuffed him to a tree before putting his mask back over his face. The Faction soldiers would decide the victim’s fate.
