Chapter 0195

“I haven’t ever lost this much. I know king Josh did a lot to me, but he always stopped when I got too bad.” This time it was John who spoke, his head shook and outrage took over his features.

“Have you forgotten about the time he damn nearly beat you to death on live television? Even I’m certain you would have died had Gamma Oliver not fought him off.” Now they truly had lost me.

Gamma Oliver? When did he ever stick up for me?

“Oliver has never helped me and the only time I’ve ever been hurt publicly by the king was when I got burnt, and then lashed.” V nodded her head and sighed before taking an old beeping pager out of her pocket and frowning at it as she spoke to me.

“We all saw it, Oliver fought the king while Lewis took you inside the palace. Trust me, everyone thought you were a dead girl after that one.” Way to sugar coat it. I couldn’t understand it, I always thought Oliver didn’t give two shits about what happened to me… then again, he probably was more focussed on Josh’s reputation. Also, I remember being in agony but I don’t recall bleeding all that much. “I’m going to have to go to the drop off sight, there’s been an issue with some of the merchandise.”

“In that case, I’ll come too. We’re done here right?” V shook her head and looked to Lewis, something was very odd about her instant refus, I had grown wary of anything that didn’t sit right with me.

“It’s fine, you should go to the Dining tent with Lewis and John. I don’t think I’ve actually ever seen you there.” That’s because I hadn’t been. “I’ll meet you in a short while.” With that she disappeared out of the medical tent, leaving me with John the doctor and Lewis.

“What the fuck was that about?” I think everyone left in the tent knew I was going to follow her, John even stepped out of the way in order to let me through. It was fairly clear that they wanted me to see something that V didn’t.

And so without uttering another word I calmly yet hastily followed her to the drop off clearing situated at the entrance of the base.

A large truck was parked in the unloading bay but there was no one there to unload the items or to reload. I frowned as I watched V walk up to a lady and began to talk to her. I was so damn curious as to why though. If it was atypical drop then I should have technically been the one to greet the lady, but no. V didn’t want me there at all.

I walked up slowly to the van, trying to stay out of the sight of V and opened the back door only to have my jaw hit the floor. Piles and piles of weapons sat just ready for the taking, I knew I hadn’t seen the vans license plate on our list before.

There was absolutely nothing in the storage except for the large amount of guns. Ranging. From machine guns to pistols. Knives and chainsaws rested to the left, bullet proof vests were hung on the walls and grenades were lined up.

Why the fuck would there be a van completely packed to the brim with weaponry for a base that had no intention of fighting against the king? The only conclusion was, was that this place wasn’t the true rebellion that was reportedly growing, not by a long shot.

“Ok…” I finally made my presence known to V as I walked out and stood with my arms crossed in front of me. “Get your answers straight, as I’m only going to ask once…”

Vs face dropped drastically at my sentence and the lady opposite her began to fiddle with her fingers slightly.

“What the fuck is this place?”
