*This is a first draft, better story telling will be implemented in the revision
Several weeks pass
Still reeling from John’s betrayal, Calvin distracts himself by helping the rebels in their tasks. Calvin and Sasha have become closer as a result of what had transpired. Sasha eventually rips the bandaid off and talks with Calvin about whats bothering him. They confide in each other and share a moment of weakness as they attempt to move on.
Motivated to keep going forward, Calvin inquires the Intelligence branch for any new related to Father. They return to him with nothing aside from more apparent increased patrols searching. They then reveal that they are not just looking for Calvin anymore, but also the rebels as a whole.
as Calvin roams the halls of the compound, he listens in on a conversation from two rebels walking past him. One mentions to the other that they lost another comrade today, he was snatched by one of the patrols, and driven away towards a recently constructed complex in the area. Calvin recognized the building they were talking about, it stood out like a sore thumb. Unlike the rest of the normal city landscape, this new one was simplistic but harsh in its design, lacking outside features such as windows. Just a brutalist concrete complex with many police men exiting the building. Calvin was intrigued, as he believed he might have an idea of where to investigate.
Calvin began to wonder what was going on in that building, and why it had such an odd appearance. Was it some prison? Perhaps it was a testing facility, though he hated to think of what they might be doing to his comrades in there. Whatever the case was, it was bad news and he needed to get to the bottom of it. He figured he should talk to Sasha about it before he made any decisions.
“Are you crazy?!?” Sasha scolded Calvin, “Do you have idea how dangerous that could be? especially if its just us? This is a bad idea, and you know it!” “I know I know, But we’ve got to find out whats going on over there. We owe it to our comrades. If we go, just the two of us, we’ll lower the risk of others getting caught!” Calvin fails to get Sasha on board with the expedition, so he decides he’ll go in the morning, alone.
This scene promises some action, and raising the stakes or risks–so it pulls the rider in, esp the following:
“Are you crazy?!?” Sasha scolded Calvin, “Do you have idea how dangerous that could be? especially if its just us? This is a bad idea, and you know it!”-good set up.
Next…show Calvin at the “brutalist concrete complex”…maybe Sasha follows? or not?
