I knew they were not what I was led to believe. Keeping
their prospective workers imprisoned in their own quarters, swearing an oath in
a cult-like ceremony, the marble woman being there despite Jack’s promises. Not
to mention that corrupt drawing from a children’s book and that messed up place
we went through to get here.
I decided to stay, though, even so. For one thing, I had no
way to contact anyone, no way out (not that they’d let me go), and if I left I
might be attacked again by the marble woman. That is, if I wasn’t attacked
anyway.
Besides, if I stayed maybe I could stop whatever they were
doing (it couldn’t be good).
An hour or two after the induction, I was taken to a meeting
where I’d learn more about the organization and what my role in it would be. On
the way, though, I saw a phone on the wall and asked if I could make a call
real quick. Even though Omar wasn’t the greatest guy, I knew he’d be worried
about me. So I told him I was alright and not to worry. I didn’t tell him
anything about what was going on here, though. Since this is a secretive
organization, I doubt they would allow that.
I was seated at a long table, with others who’d been
inducted with me on either side. An important (or self-important) looking man
sat at the head.
We were told that we were working for the Panopticon, the
main branch of the Illuminati, overseeing all the others, like the Hushed Monks
and the Archive, whatever those were. And we were all under the supervision of "L.G."
Then the man talked to each of us one by one, going down the
line, telling us what our jobs would be.
When he came to me, he said, “You, Franklin
Adams, will be joining our Threat Eliminative Division. You will be tasked with
getting rid of our enemies.”
