Page 100 - Fallen Thoughts

“Elaine, we’ve never needed help before and we can do it without them it’s

no difference, Lucas would never-” Caspian starts.

“Lucas isn’t here anymore! And you all put me in command and I know we

could actually stop Syndrome if we swallow our pride and accept the help.” Elaine

interrupts, “Every second we waste is more time Syndrome can use to ruin

innocent lives.”

“Then why are we wasting time bullshitting with the Department, why now

all of a sudden do they care!” Caspian fires.

“Look, we have never been able to cause a substantial hit against Syndrome,

they have always rebuilt or not cared. With the help of the Department we can do

bigger heists and cause a greater impact.” I begin standing up from my seat.

“Knowing just that is enough to make me want to accept the help.”

“But staying here after and doing more jobs for the Department unrelated to

Syndrome doesn't sound appealing to me.” Alex states crossing their arms, “We’ll

become their puppets.”

“Would that be so bad? We’d be helping people anyway.” Helena adds in.

“But how much are we giving up in the process?” Liam asks.

“So we’re divided then?” Elaine breathes.

“Ya,” We all say in unison.

Tension grows as the world silences. We always have to agree

unanimously, there is no way one person can’t agree or we won't do it or we’ll wait

till we all agree. It’s just how we work. My eyes shift over to all of the folders in

front of my friends.
“Did you guys read those?” I ask trying to break the mood.

“No but we watched a slide show sorta thing before you guys showed up
cause our hands were bound. They said it had the same thing.” Alex replies

picking up a folder to read.
