The man spilled his guts. He had told the authorities everything. They were to remove all agitators one by one. Faces in the crown grew pale. Then there were cries to string up the traitor. Jake turned to Alley and asked, “What do you think we should do with this rat?” With an evil smile, she replied “I could always use a good test subject. What do you think Wiz?” Wiz's eyes lit up, “Yes indeed a test subject, there are many experiments to be run.”

Jake Spoke to the gathered rebels, “Listen up! You all heard what this rat has said, you are all exposed. You will go to your homes, gather your families, and anything you cannot part with. If any of you remain here you will die. Before you die you will be torched for information. DO NOT TERRY. Meet back here as soon as possible. I we do not see you here by sunset we will leave without you. We are going to take everyone to a safe secret and secure location. All you need will be met and you will have fulfilling work to do. You have been warned. Now go and remember this day. The resistance starts now! Viva la resistance!” The crowd shouted back, “Viva la resistance!” Alley leaned in and whispered, “That was quite the rousing speech, I'm soaked.” Jake laughed, “Now's not the time but hold that thought for later.”

Jake pulled Wiz and Pete aside, “Pete before everyone departs, is there anyone here you trust to grab your family and things, we need to talk. Pete responded, Yes my neighbor, I'll talk to here real quick. Jake turned to Wiz, “Stay close, you are a VIP. If anything goes wrong we will get you out.” Pete returned, “Okay I have it taken care of. What's this all about? Jake replied, one moment let's wait for the crowd to clear out.”
