Chapter 10
The Opposition
Half-an-hour past when the cell gate opened and in came colonel Arcaius, Zaypher and two other soldiers. The soldiers were bringing in a wooden table and two wooden chairs. They placed the table and one chair in front of the two prisoners and one chair in front of Colonel Arcaius. The soldiers went out of the cell and closed the gate behind them, but they didn’t lock it. They stood outside the cell in case anything went wrong. “Please sit” said Colonel Arcaius sitting down on the chair beside him. “We are already sat down” said Admeet. “I meant on the chair” snapped the colonel. Admeet sat up but looked at Solister. “Stay out of this” He whispered. Solister nodded and crawled to the corner of the cell. Admeet sat down on the seat while the colonel was drumming his fingers on the table. Zaypher leant on the cell bars and crossed his arms.
“We’ve been waiting for this day Admeet” said the colonel placing his 9mm pistol on the table. “Have you now” replied Admeet, “well I would have been here earlier if I wouldn’t have escaped the first trip”. “Yes” said the colonel, “But you are firmly held in this cell; you cannot escape”. Admeet put his hand on the table near the pistol. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you” said the colonel as the two soldiers aimed their shotguns at Admeet. He put his hand away and the soldiers turned their backs on them and continued to keep their guard. “Now, onto business” said the colonel quickly, “Our spies Zaypher and Solister have seen you as a valuable asset to our basis. So since Solister went AWOL on us, Zaypher was the only one we could rely on to bring you here. He proved to be a more valuable asset than Solister so later on I must give a promotion”. Zaypher smiled evilly at that comment. “Furthermore, we haven’t told you who we are” the colonel continued. Admeet looked back at Solister who was looking at the two. He quickly turned around again to face the colonel. “We are the brotherhood of darkness” said the colonel, “we have been here long before that military complex was built. Indeed we are powerful, but not powerful enough. That is why we brought you here Admeet. General Stratavaria has seen you as a valuable asset to our brotherhood. All I’m asking for you is to join us”. “No!” replied Admeet quickly. Solister was looking more and more worried while Zaypher ordered the two soldiers to open the gate. The colonel looked disappointed but kept his temper inside himself. “We will discuss this later” said the colonel standing up. The colonel picked up the 9mm pistol and walked out of the cell; Zaypher followed. One of the soldiers locked the gate and followed the colonel.
Admeet just sat there while Solister tried to stay calm. Then Admeet stood up and walked over to Solister. He sat down beside her and wrapped his left arm around Solister’s back. “What are they going to do” said Solister feeling worried. “Everything’s going to be alright” said Admeet comforting Solister. The two sat in the cell oblivious to what was going on outside of them. There mutual bond was forming.
