"Sir there is evidence that there is a massive troop build up about 50 miles to the east of this city and we have been finding out from sources that the government is planning something big. Also from these same sources we have learned that there are some rather high ranking agents of the government arriving every day. From our sources we have also learned that they are bringing in the big guns so to speak. The whole contigency of stealth air craft is being assembled about 300 miles from here. Sir I think this merits our immediate attention."
The white man stands in the chamber where the council is meeting and as he has been speaking the whole council has been llistening to his every word.
Red leans back in his chair with his hands together and appears to be somewhere else but when the man finishes speaking he says "So how long do you think it will be before they attack?"
"Sir I would say anywhere from two weeks to a month."
"Thank you William." Red says as he adjoirns the meeting and tells Shalonda, Velvety and Rosemarie as well as Andrea to follow him and he heads back to his office. They all enter and sit down and Red motions for Andrea to begin marking the minutes... to take notes.
She gets ready and he starts to talk.
"Shalonda you and Velvety need to start preparing the people. We are going to have a massive plan of evacuation. We need to find everywhere that innocent people can lay low until this is over. Make sure that the people know where to go if and when we are attacked. Make sure that these places are stocked and that the children can still be educated and that the sick and elderly are as comfortable as possible. I have all faith and confidence that you can handle this so do me proud."
shalonda and Velvety kick ideas back and forth with Red for awhile before he asks them to leave them to leave the room.
He also asks Andrea to leave and he catches her expression as she looks from him to Rosemarie.
she leaves and closes the door rather hard on her way out. Not a slam but the meaning is there.
He turns to Rosemarie. This is their first time alone together since the hospital and he knows that she has been avoiding him as much as possible.
"Well Rosemarie how are those ladies doing that we sent to the other side?"
Rosemarie looks at him and smiles and he is glad to see that smile. Its been so long.
"Red all of them have inserted themselves and Kiley seems to have hit the jackpot. She is mixing elbows with a high ranking general and has been sending reports daily."
"Cool, thats what we need. Tell her to find out all she can about this troop builup and anything else she can. Rosemarie I want to thank you for all that you have done. How are you doing?"
"I am fine Red but I want to know what you are thinking Red? Bringing that woman in here and you dont know anything about her."
Red cuts her off with his flattened hand as he holds it up.
"Oh hell naw Red I know you just did'nt" she says as she stands and walks up to him. "I am not one of these little minions you got runnin around here Red and you are going to hear what I got to say. You get that, Red?"
He stands there and looks at her and finds that he does not have a damn thing to say.
"She continues "Red you owe the people more than just a part of you Red... pussy comes and goes and many a leader has been misled because of it. i do not want to see that happen to you, so you better get your head out from between her legs and start thinking with it."
She turns and walks away from him and opens the door before she turns around and says "Red I am willing to live for you and I am also willing to die for you." She does slam the door and the sound seems to slap Red it is so sharp.
he sit at his desk and takes the stack of papers that the Spook gave him weeks ago and it is dog eared he has read it so many times as he sighs and tries to figure out how to make this work for him and the movement.
Damn!
Later that day he finds himself in the park with Dead meat again as the children play on the grass not far from where they sit and play a game of chess.
"Son?" Dead meat says as they play.
"Yeah Dead Meat?"
"You ready for whats about to come?"
"Yes."
"You think so hunh?"
"Yes I do."
"You know that the best way to discredit a man is to get him to contradict what he believes in dont you Red?"
"Yes i do."
"You also know that the king who is kept alive and crushed is the best pawn to have right?"
"Yes I do Dead Meat.'
"Red a chessmate is just a trapped king... a captured tool... an aquisition. Just like land, just like slaves. As a matter of fact he makes the best slave because the other slaves start to take his defeat as their own. They lose the power to resist. Red do not become a pawn."
Red moves his piece and says "check; mate in 1."
"I see you been studying son" Dead meat says as he pulls his hat over his eyes and says look under that bag over there Red."
Red get up and goes to the bag that has been lying there since he got there and picks it up.
Underneath it is a brown envelope.
He looks back at Dead Meat who has pulled his hat over his eyes and layed back and Red knows that there is no point in talking anymore today as he turns and walks away.
