Chapter 2: Go Home

I looked over at Sabin, as if he was some kind of an idiot, for what it was that he was planning on doing. I felt like he might be joking on what it was that he was saying, as I knew that the guy had a bit of a strange sense of humor at the exact same time too, but I felt like surely, he knew just as well as I did, that this was not the best thing to be joking about right now, as he knew that it would get him killed if we went against the government.

I stared right in to his eyes for quite a bit of some time, doing my best to test the look that he had on his face at this very moment in time, but based off of the look that I saw, it was clear that he had a dead serious look on it, as if he actually believed that we might have a chance in all of this, even though I knew that there had been so many rebellions, and so many uprisings in the city, but none of them worked, due to the same reason every time.

The government had eyes every where, even in side of rebellion, there was always some one that snuck in and snitched on every one. Then there was the fact that the government was stronger, and they were the ones that had all of the weapons none the less, as I knew that we would not stand much of a chance against any of that at all, as I just wanted to quickly hush the guy up if I was going to be honest.

It was clear that this was what Noah had meant by all of this, and it was clear that he did not have a clue that the guy who was planning all of this out as well, was the one that every one viewed as a joke. I was fairly certain that no one was going to join in on any of this, so I felt like it was not worth getting the poor man killed, just due to him having a rebellious tendency to do some thing about this.

Yes... I did agree that there needed to be some thing done to stop the evil leaders that were in control over the land, but I was for sure not willing to let Sabin be the leader of it, as even if he did some how managed to start an uprising against all of it, no one was going to listen to a word of what it was that he had to say, as well as the fact that we just did not have the supplies to do any thing either.

At least, that was what I thought to be true, right? I was not all too certain, as I really did not know the man all too well at all, as I knew that he lived in a fairly nice place, as his family had a fair amount of money before all of this had all begun. I was not so sure as to what it was that he might be hiding in his place at all, as when ever I had gotten near his place, I had always just done my best to stay away from any of his stuff that he had there, as I knew that the guy was a bit weird.

I tilted my head a bit at Sabin, as I looked at him for just a little while longer, keeping a blank look on my face at the same time as well, so that I did not show any thing about the fact as to what it was that Noah had told me about not all too long ago. I blinked my eyes a few times, as I just stared at him for a little while longer, seeing that he had a smile on his face for some odd reason or another, but it did not seem that it was due to the fact that he viewed all of this as some kind of joke to him at all.

The look that I saw, whilst he might have a smile, was a dead serious look, as I saw him looking right at Randy, as I saw quite a bit of a look of fear on the face of Randy. I knew why Randy was afraid, as his wife had once started a bit of a rebellion with out telling him, and in the end, it had not lasted all that long for certain, as he had to watch his wife get hung right in front of him, just like the rest of us.

That was why I knew that Randy had the look of fear on his face, as I kind of felt a bit bad for him. I also knew at the exact same time too, that it did not scare Randy away from fighting back against the evil leaders, as it only just made him feel more angry, and make him feel like he needed to do some thing to stop all of it. There just was not much he could do, as he really did not have hardly any thing that he could use to fight back against him.

But Sabin... What did Sabin have hidden up his sleeve? I was a bit interested in all of it if I was not going to lie, so I was willing to listen to it all the way through at the exact same time too, to hear as to what it was that he had to say in the very first place any ways, as I then all of the sudden nodded to Sabin at the same time as well, to let him know that he should continue, and that I was listening in on what it was that he was saying.

I was not all too certain that he had seen me how ever, as I saw that he had his eyes locked on Randy, but as soon as I had in fact nodded to him, he all of the sudden turned his head over to me, keeping that same strange little smile on his face, as he then nodded back to me at the exact same time too. I saw Randy look at me right in to my eyes, as I then saw him shake his head to me, trying to tell me no.

I did not listen to him though, as I knew that I had a bit of a rebellious spirit in my self, and I wanted to hear through the whole entire plan that Sabin had for all of this, before I shut him down, and I warned him about the fact that Noah knew that some thing was going on around the work place. I smiled right back at Sabin all at once, as I tried to get in to his head, and try to test to see if he was weak at all, but it did not seem to bother him at all, as he did not budge one bit as to what it was that I had just done in the first place.

That for sure made me feel a lot better about all of this, as I knew that for a fact, but there still was just one problem about all of this, which was the fact that no one was going to be on board with any of this, if they knew that Sabin was going to be the leader in it, as I knew that it would get shut down just as soon as it got started, which I was not all too sure if it was worth risking my life over any of that, especially if I had a child on the way as well.

I then all of the sudden squinted my eyes at Sabin, which to my surprise once again, it did not seem to bother him at all, as I saw that he had a bit of a straight, and blank look on his face through and through all of this. I let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self all at the exact same time as well, as I did my best to focus in on what it was that I had been about to say in the very first place any ways, as I then finally began to speak to him.

"How do you plan on getting people in on this? All it takes is one slip up, and it is all over for you... Besides, Sabin, no offense, but you do not have the most support as it is around this place..." I said to him, as I then all of the sudden now saw him dip his head a bit low to the ground, as it was clear that I had gotten in to his head at the exact same time as well. That was when I now all of the sudden began to lose faith in any sort of hope that we might have had to do some thing about it, as I then realized at the exact same time as well, that what it was that I had just said in the very first place any ways, was in fact true of course, as it hit me as to the fact that I was fairly certain that he would be quick to get stabbed in the back, due to the fact that no one took any thing that the guy said at all, any sort of serious. I blinked my eyes a few times, as I then looked at him for just a little while longer at the exact same time too. Another thought then seemed to come in to my head once again, as to the fact I was ready to shut the poor guy off once again. "Also... Noah told me that I needed to tell him about this, as he knows there's already a rebellion going on around here."

Sabin once again grew quite a bit of a look of fear in his eyes at the exact same time too, as it was about at this point that I was now ready to give up on any sort of hope that we might actually have some thing in our hands on all of this, as I then began to dip my head a bit low to the ground. I was sure that it seemed cool, and a good idea to him at first, but once the realization came in that he did not have a chance, it was clear that it basically killed any and all idea that he might have a chance to get any thing started.

I rolled my eyes a bit at the exact same time too, as I then looked at Randy, as I saw him nod to me all of the sudden, as it was clear that he was glad that I had talked some sense in to the poor guy at the exact same time too, as I saw Randy give me a bit of a grateful nod, as it was clear that Randy, such as I, felt quite a bit bad for the poor guy, as I knew that every one would think of any thing that be had to say as some sort of secret joke sadly enough for him.

Plus I knew that there was no sort of chance of a rebellion at any point in time, as I was fairly certain that our lands were going to be screwed for ever as well, and that I just had to help my wife, and I had to raise my child to be strong through all of it, and to be good, and decent people at the exact same time as well. It was sad, but it was the truth, and there was no use it felt like at this point, to try to fight back against the truth, as it would only get you killed.

I nodded to my self at the same time too, as I was glad that I had come to that sort of agreement with my self, as I then began to bite in to my soup, and the sandwich that had been prepared for me, just as I had ordered at the end of last week, as I knew that we ordered our food for next week during that time. I nodded a bit to my self all at once, as I was actually lucky for the place that I worked at, even if Isabelle was a bitch, as I knew that there was a lot worse where I could be working at, at other places in the city, such as a food plantation farm.

I shook my head, as I then shook off all of those thoughts all at once, as I then all of the sudden then began to hear some one laughing right beside me. I was a bit lost at first, until I all of the sudden turned my head to notice that it was the laugh of Sabin, as I knew that he had a bit of a strange, and quite creepy laugh as well, as I shivered just a bit as soon as I had heard him laugh at the exact same time too.

I turned my head over to him, tilting my head a bit at the exact same time as well, to let him know that I was a little bit lost as to the reason that he was laughing so loudly right now, as it was clear that he was getting the attention of a lot of the people that were with us in this room right now, as I saw a lot of people at all of the other tables all of the sudden turn their heads over to us, a bit lost with what it was that was going on right now.

I dipped my head a bit low to the ground all at once, as I slid my self a fair bit away from where it was that Sabin was at, as I really did not want to be any where near him right now if I was going to be honest with my self. I had my head low to the ground, as I just kept on eating my food, acting like I had no part on what it was that was going on at this very moment in time, at the table that Sabin and Randy were at.

I looked at Randy from the corner of my eye, as I wished that I could tell him to leave, but it did not seem like he was all too bothered by any of this at all if I was going to be honest with my self. I shivered a bit, as I really did not have a clue as to what it was that was going on at this very moment in time, if I was going to be completely honest with my self right now.

I looked at Sabin from the corner of my eye this time, as I saw that he was looking right over to me, as it was clear that he was making sure that every one knew that he was talking to me. Luckily enough for me how ever, it was clear that every one had looked away from Sabin, as they then realized that it was the weird guy that was the one that had made such a loud racket at the table beside them.

I was a bit glad for that as well, as I then saw that Sabin nodded to me, as it was clear that he was a smart guy, and he knew that no one was going to take him seriously with what it was that he was doing right now. It confused me quite a bit none the less, as I was fairly certain that it would mean that no one was going to join him, and help him get to the leaders, and some how be able to take them down none the less, I was glad for him at the very least, as I let out a bit of a soft sigh all at the exact same time too, and I then nodded right back over to him.

I stared at him right in to his eyes, as I saw that he once again had the exact same time smile that he had not all too long ago, as it seemed like the only reason as to why he had acted that way a few moments ago, was simply just to get a bit of drama going on, and a bit of some excitement in the room at the exact same time too, as Sabin then finally began to speak to me, as I sighed a little bit, not really wanting to hear what it was that he was about to say to me, but I began to listen as to what it was that he had to say any ways.

"No one is going to take me seriously... That is the whole point... That is how we are going to build this up... Noah only knows about it, because I was the first one that he told... Do you not see it now? I mean... I get it if you don't..." He said to me, as I tilted my head at him, as I was a bit lost as to what it was that he was getting at if I was going to be honest with my self. Perhaps he was bluffing, and he was just trying to look for a way out of it, I was not all too certain as Sabin was quite a bit of a hard guy for me to read, if I was going to be completely honest with my self. I dipped my head a bit low to the ground all at the exact same time too, as I really did not have a clue as to what it was that was going on right now, if I was going to be completely honest with my self, as I really did not feel like even trying to worry about any of it either, as I had a wife back home that I needed to be worried about right now. I was about to shake off all of those thoughts from my head all at once, when I then all of the sudden, began to hear him start to speak up once again, as I then lifted my head up, breathing in heavily, as I then began to listen as to what it was that he had to say once again. "You know where I am at... I have a meeting at my place tomorrow to get all of this  started... It will only be with the ones I want to help me lead... You know where I live... Join in if you please..."

I looked at him for just a few more moments, as he kept the weird grin on his face through all of it at the exact same time as well, as I was just a bit lost as to just what it was that was going on with the guy right now. He was acting a bit weird, and I was kind of worried that this might be some sort of trap for some odd reason or another, as I had heard of those coming up every now and then, just to make sure that the government was safe, and making sure that no one else was planning to make some sort of rebellion.

This did not seem to be one of those cases at all how ever, if I was going to be honest with my self, as I had known Sabin for long enough, and I had also seen some traps spring up every now and then, and they were fairly obvious, as it usually came in with one guy who had just come in to the city from the middle of no where to do some thing about any of this. I was still a little bit hesitant to do any thing about it if I was not going to lie, but I felt like I could not help but to put a little bit of interest in any of it.

I was tempted to ask Noah if he really was a part in it, but I felt like I did not want to, just in case Sabin was bluffing, as I knew that it would get me in a lot of trouble, and it could get me killed if they knew that I actually was in, in a part of all of it. I was still a bit sketchy on all of it if I was not going to lie, but I felt like maybe if I gave it some time for things to pan out a bit, and it seemed to be going good, than I could perhaps join it, as I did in fact really hate our leadership, such as every one else did, though every one knew not to say any thing about it.

I sighed just a little bit to my self, as I then watched as Sabin began to walk away from his table all at the exact same time too, as he kept the same big smile on his face, as he then took his food that he had eaten to the trash can that was near the exit of the room, as it was clear that he was heading over to the bath rooms now, so that he could wash him self off, after the meal that he had just had.

I breathed in all at the exact same time too, as I then saw him walk past Isabelle all of the sudden. Surely she could to be a part in this too right? She seemed to enjoy the fact that she was evil, and that she had power, so I was fairly certain that it was not the case, as I did see her squint her eyes at Sabin for some reason, as it was clear that she was still a bit lost as to why he had such a big smile on his face.

Isabelle rolled her eyes how ever, as it was clear that she simply only thought that it was because Sabin was a weird guy, which he was of course, but that might just be what it was that we needed right now, and that might be what could give us a chance to fight back against all of this evil. It was clear that Isabelle did not have a clue as to what it was that was going on right now, so I figured that I should just stay quiet, and just not say a word.

I looked back down at my food, and I finished off the rest that I had left over in it, and once I was done, I too joined Randy, as we both went over to the trash cans, to throw away the rest of the food that we did not want to finish eating, as we then tossed it in to the dump. I blinked my eyes a few times at the exact same time too, as I then saw Randy nod to me, as it was clear that he was about to speak to me.

I was in fact interested in what it was that he had to say on what it was that he had just heard from Sabin in fact, as I then nodded right back over to my friend, ready to hear him out. Randy had a bit of a lost look on his face, but I still could tell that he did not think it was a good idea, which I did not blame him for. Randy blinked his eyes just a few, as he then was about to speak to me, as he opened his mouth.

He did not get the chance to do as such a thing how ever, as I heard the voice of some one else begin to speak up to us, from not all too far away, as I recognized the voice to be Isabelle, as I was a bit freaked out that she might have some how got a bit of detail in what it was that Sabin had just said to us at the exact same time as well, as I then turned my head over to Isabelle, to hear as to what it was that she had to say.

I blinked my eyes just a few times my self, as I then looked over to her, only to see that she did not have her eyes on either one of us at all, at this very moment in time, as I let out quite a bit of a sigh of relief all of the sudden, as I felt like I was quite a bit on edge at this very moment in time, just based off of the fact as to what it was that Sabin had said to both me and Randy, as I was worried that we were going to get in trouble, due to the fact that we had been a part in it.

Luckily, as I noticed that Isabelle was not speaking to either of us at all, I then nodded a bit to my self at the exact same time as well, as I grinned, starting to think that we might actually have a chance in this, as it was clear that not a single person had a clue in on any of this. I shook my head, as I shook off all of those thoughts all at once how ever, as I then began to listen as to what Isabelle had to say to every one that was in the room with us right now, in the very first place any ways.

"Alright every one! Lunch time is over, get y'all's lazy asses out of here and get back to work!" She said to all of us that were in the room at the exact same time too. I was almost tempted to laugh, as I knew that she was one to talk about us being lazy, considering she did nothing at all to help any of us on the construction work that we did at this job site. I squinted my eyes at her, as I knew that none of it was funny how ever, as she had gotten a lot of innocent people killed.

I hated that lady, and based off of the looks of all of the people that I could see with me in the big room right now, it was clear that they too hated her as well, as I saw a lot of people roll their eyes, as I saw a lot of people heading over to where me and Randy were at, at this very moment in time, beside all of the trash cans. I quickly moved out of the way, of the stampeding heard of people that were about to be heading right over to us.

I moved back a little, as I heard a lot of groans, and a lot of annoyed looks on a lot of the people as they threw their trash in to the trash cans, and they then began to walk out of the room, heading back over to the job site. I blinked my eyes all at the exact same time too, as I then heard one of the men yell, 'what a hypocritical little bitch!' as I was about to laugh, but I stopped my self before I did such a thing, as I then turned my head over to where Isabelle was, as I knew that it would be an awful idea, whilst she might not know who had said that, she would for sure know that I was the one laughing.

As I turned my head over to where she had been, I realized that she was gone, as I had to assume that she too had either gone to the bath rooms just as Sabin had, or she had gone to the job site, which was quite a bit rare for her to do so, unless she was just coming in to yell at us. I was a little bit lost, but I shook off all of those thoughts all at once how ever, as I let out quite a bit of a sigh at the exact same time as well, as the joke was now out of my head, and it was no longer funny at all to me.

I looked over to where it was that I had just seen Randy at, but as I looked over to where he had been, I saw that he too was all of the sudden gone, as I was a bit lost with what it was that was going on all around me right now, as I squinted my eyes at first. I blinked my eyes just a few times as well, as I was quite a bit upset with it, if I was not going to lie to my self, as I then gave up after a little while longer, and then I too joined up with all of the others, as we headed back down to the job site.

I felt like it would be best to not say any thing at all about any of it, as if Sabin was bluffing on the fact that Noah was in on it, than I would get in trouble and get killed for even thinking of joining in with him for one thing, and if he was being serious, and I told Noah, than it meant that I would lose my chance to join, and I then would once again have a chance of getting killed. I felt like the best choice, at least for now, was to just not say any thing about it at all.

I sighed, as I just kept on going down the hall way, as it felt like every one was walking a bit slower than usual right now, which kind of annoyed me, as I just wanted to get back to work, and get my focus off of all of those thoughts that I had been having before, and just get back to working. Perhaps I would go and see the rebellion meeting tomorrow, but if it did not seem to be a good idea, it did not mean that I had to join them.

I knew that I had a lot of ways in and out of it, as I was always glad to have the upper hand in a situation such as this, as I knew that I could make what ever choice I just so what ever chose to do. I smiled just a bit, as I just did my best to once again shake off all of those thoughts, as I kept on heading in to the job site, so that I could finish this long day of work, and go back home to take care of my wife...

I let out quite a bit of a rough groan all at once, as it had been a bit of a harsh day as it was so far, not just in the mental aspect, where I had to be worried about Sabin, but also the fact that I was quite a bit stiff, due to all of the manual labor that I had to do, a lot by my self none the less, today. I was not sure what it was that these people were trying to get us to build, if I was going to be honest with my self, as it had been nothing like I had to build ever before for one thing, as it was such a strange structure, as it almost seemed to be in a triangle shape.

I shook off all of those thoughts all at the exact same time, as I knew that at the same time as well, it was best to not think on it all too much, just due to the fact that if it had any thing to do with any of the leaders, and I was asking any sort of questions, that too, could once again be some thing that might just so happen to get me killed. I did not care about my life any more at this point, as it was just kind of a repetitive and end less cycle of, work, home, sleep, and then the same thing the next day.

I did care for the life of my wife and my child that was soon on the way how ever, as I felt like I could not risk the fact of losing her, as she was all that it felt like I had left in this world, as she was the only thing that brought a smile to my face, and brought a little bit of some sort of life in on my dark and quite boring life that I was having to live right now.

I knew that people had it worse that I did, as all of this leadership idea was a terrible idea, as it felt like life might not have been the greatest before, but it sure was a lot better off than it was right at this very moment in time. Every one knew it, but no one had the balls to do any thing about it, as they knew it would get them killed, and also there was the fact that no one had any sort of supplies to fight back against the evil government.

Well... Maybe... Sabin was a bit of a weird guy, so I was not all too sure as to what kind of secrets he had. He did not seem to be a bad guy by any sort of means at all, but he always was a bit strange to me. I still was quite a bit interested to see what it was that was with his plans, and if I thought that it was a bad idea, than I simply could opt out of it, and act like nothing had ever happened.

I had the winning hand at this very moment in time, no matter how I looked at it, as it felt quite a bit nice to feel that kind of way, as I smiled just a bit to my self at the exact same time too. I kind of was also interested, if I was going to be honest with my self, if Noah, was in on all of it as well, just as Sabin had said he was. I was fairly certain that he was bluffing on all of it, if I was not going to lie, as I was sure that Noah was happy as it was already.

I had seen Noah eyeing me down for most of the day as well, as I was not all too certain as to what it was that I should say to him. I still felt it best to just stay silent, and not say any thing about it at all, as if I had not heard as to what it was that Sabin had said to me whilst we had been in the eating room not all too long ago. I could simply just go to the meeting, and if I did not see Noah there, than I could just count my self out of it right away.

It would be a surprise to me if Noah was in fact there, as the guy seemed like a decent guy, but at the same time as well, I also knew that he worked with the government, so it just did not make all too much sense that he would be in on a part of all that Sabin had said to us earlier. I looked away from Noah, as I did my best to just ignore him all at the exact same time as well. I was not all too certain as to what it was that was going on right now if I was going to be honest with my self.

I felt like the best option was to not do any thing at all if I was going to be honest with my self, as I just kept my focus on what it was that I was doing right at this very moment in time, which was of course the fact that I was putting some sand bricks up to build the building that I was working on right now. I nodded just a little bit to my self all at the exact same time as well, as I was glad that I got my focus off of all of those thoughts all at the exact same time as well, as I was now just focused on the job that I was doing right now.

I grinned just a bit for some odd reason, as I then put another brick in, and I then began to seal the coating in at the same time as well, so that it stuck together strongly, and there was nothing that needed to be worried about any of this at all. I nodded to my self all at the same time too, as I then realized that I was done with that layer now, and that it was time for me to move on to the next one now.

I turned my head around all at the exact same time as well, and I then began to head over to the other wall that I had been building not all too long ago, as I made sure that the coating on it was not wet, just like I had made the other wall. I looked at it in quite a bit of some detail, and I then nodded once I realized that I was safe, as I breathed in quite a bit heavily, and I then began to put another brick on top of that spot, and I then grab the wet coating.

Just as I was about to put it down, I then heard a voice begin to yell loudly from not all too far away, as it was not all that hard to realize just who the voice was in the first place, as I knew that she was the only person here that yelled that loudly to get the attention of every one, as I knew that she was quite a bit too over the top, if I was going to be completely honest with my self, as I then let out a soft sigh, as I rolled my eyes a bit, before turning my head over to Isabelle, who was in fact the one that was speaking right now.

Isabelle had a bit of a grin on her face, such as it always seemed like she did, as I was a bit lost as to what it was that she seemed to find so funny this time, as I squinted my eyes over towards her, even though I knew all at once, that she did not have her eyes on me at all right now, as she was kind of looking at Noah right now for some odd reason or another. I was a bit lost by it, but I knew that she was speaking to all of us, as soon as I heard what it was that she was saying, as I did in fact listen as to what it was that she had to say in the very first place any ways.

"Alright you bums! Go home!"
