90 Organising * (2/2)

As everyone sat down Chloe came over with a tray, this time she went out and killed a bird looking beast, its wings were the size of a full-grown pig as it laid on a piece of coconut leaf. Everyone was drooling from the smell, everyone reached out with their forks and ripped pieces of meat off, digging right in without having any time to talk.

As they bit into the meat they all thought the same thing, Chloe seemed like a professional cook. Simon asked her about it, turns out she worked at a fairly high-end restaurant before everything went to shit.

Once they eat quite a bit they sparked up a discussion about future plans, how far they'll take it. Will they make this whole thing international, Lachlan wants it to be at least recognised on an international level. Possibly get a few more people to start up similar organisations in their respected country.

”So where do we start?” Tyler asked.

”In that context, we have already started. However, if you mean where to next then maybe Adelaide, it should have a similar system to Melbourne,” Flynn said, the atmosphere quickly dropped. Everyone in the room heard what happened in Melbourne, it was a touchy subject especially to the parents in the room.

”Hopefully we might be able to find parents inside Adelaide with the same thoughts as us,” Sam said.

”Indeed, but what will be our plan. We can't just go in forcing them to tell us where they are, they might get suspicious and think we're subordinates of the intelligent beasts. In addition, who's to say that the Melbourne military didn't warn everyone else of our existence,” Chloe explained.

Almost everyone leaned back in their chairs, turning their heads upwards towards the ceiling, lost in their trains of thought. The sigh that came from everyone's mouth seemed so loud amongst the silence.

”We could get one of the parents or even a group of parents to go in a blend with the crowd, maybe try to get some information from passing people. We can't do it because if those Sky and Land Guardian leaders have decided to warn everyone, our faces are probably attached to those warnings,” Lachlan explained. Although it might not be like that, it's always best to think of every situation.

”Let's just stay on the side of caution and assume they did do that, I can go in and investigate but I need a background story in case anyone just suspicious and begin to ask questions,” Tamika said.

”Alright, Flynn can you bring up the map please,” Lachlan said.

”Maps are up, where should we say you came from?” Flynn asked. Since they didn't have a good connection here, sometimes none at all, Flynn had screenshotted and printed maps of all the countries, even pictures that were rather zoomed in, giving them details of the surrounding towns.

Lachlan quickly got confused by the new markings on the map, but quickly saw a keynote on the side that made everything much easier. There were numbers from 1 – 3, and at the end of that list was a black skull. Lachlan didn't even need to think about it, he knew it meant death.

Each area was covered by these numbers and symbol, which likely represented how dangerous these areas are.

The rest of the group was in a similar situation but were also observant enough to notice it. None of them really wanted to ask about it since they felt they would look stupid. Especially considering that everyone else aside from them understood it completely.

”Birdwood is a relatively safe place, it's protected by the military because of the farmland there. In addition, there is only 1 death zone you will pass through to get to Adelaide and you only pass through the outskirts of it,” Flynn explained as he pointed to where he was talking about.

The death zone Tamika would have to pass through is extremely large and is ruled by a group of 9 intelligent beasts, making it a high-level death zone. Luckily because of military interference those intelligent beasts' area only just reaches the route.

”Now, for a personal background,” Tamika said.

”You're 35, your husband was killed by a beast, you have no children and you're currently just going around trying new things and experiencing the thrill of travelling through danger zones,” Lachlan came up with something at the top of his mind and thought it sounded rather good. Although slightly dark, hopefully, it would prevent people from asking too many questions.

”What about the birthplace?” Tamika asked.

”Keep everything from your childhood the same, makes it a lot easier to talk to people if they ask things about your childhood. Just say your husband was from South Australia so you decided to get married here, then you enjoyed your stay here, so you decided to move over and live here,” Flynn said.

”Alright, so where should I hang out to get information?” Tamika asked.

”I would say pubs but they're risky, especially now that people have tamed beasts. If you piss off someone strong then it could be all over. Cafés are good, fast food places are just as good, but the best place might be at a park,” Flynn said.

”Why a park?” Lachlan asked.

”Because the military is everywhere, people don't want to talk shit about the military right next to them. A park is fairly secluded especially if you find a good spot, so just hanging out at a park would be a good idea,” Flynn explained. People with hybrids wouldn't utter a noise around the military since the ones protecting them were Land Guardians.

”By myself?” Tamika asked. Her concerns were the same for everyone, it would be odd to see anyone by themselves at a park.

”I can go,” Maddie said.

”Me as well,” Dakota said.

And just like that everyone fits into place. A group of girls relaxing at a park is great, they could have a picnic and bring along some food since their stay at the park might last a whole day.

”Alright, the plans settled. Remember, always keep your phones fully charged and on, that way you can call for help whenever something goes wrong,” Flynn said.”

”Will do,” they all replied.

Everyone then separated, Lachlan went back up to the balcony while the others went outside a chose who got which house. After that was all settled everyone went to sleep, tomorrow was the start of the operation.
