Chapter 104 - Entering The Community

Leonardo: Hey everyone, come meet the new kid. Get off your computers!

Eva: Is this the new kid?

Jason: Oh, is this the kid? You claimed to know more than us.

Leonardo: Yeah, that's right. This kid is smarter than your stupid brain, for sure!

Axel: Calm down, guys. Let's just welcome him.

Eva: Alright, come over here.

****: Alright.

Eva: You seem like a nice person.

****: Thank you.

Axel: Stop trying to butter him up.

Eva: I'm not buttering him up; I'm just trying to communicate.

Leonardo: Wait, let's wait for the boss. Then we'll get started.

****: Who's the boss?

Jason: You'll see when he arrives.

Leonardo: The boss, Mason, is an important figure. He draws the plans; we just execute them.

****: Is that all you do?

Leonardo: Yeah, it's that simple.

****: So, there are just a handful of you? You're changing the world with just a few people?

Leonardo: We're not just a few; there are three more of us.

****: So there are a total of eight of you.

Leonardo: I don't know; I hope so.

****: Okay, when does this boss arrive?

Leonardo: I don't know; whenever he wants.

****: Ugh, why don't you answer the questions properly?

Leonardo: I'm only saying what I know, kid.

****: How can you continue here without being noticed? This is an abandoned gas station.

Eva: Mason will explain how he does things soon.

****: So what's your story? Who are you?

Jason: You're asking too many questions, kid. We can't tell you everything right away.

****: Alright, alright, I'm just waiting then.

[A few minutes later]

Mason arrives at the venue.

Mason: Hello, how are you all? Is everything going well? I brought you some fries.

Leonardo: Fries? Great, we'll eat them, Mason. Thanks.

Mason: So, where's our new member, Leonardo?

****: I'm here.

Mason: Oh, there you are. Come here.

****: Alright.

Mason: How are you?

****: I'm good.

Mason: I hear you want to learn everything. Leonardo said you're really talented. Is that true?

****: Yes, I've been trying to learn some things for two months now. Are you going to explain who you are?

Mason: Good start, great question. Yes, who are we? We're just a few people trying to bring justice to the world. I guess we're a bit humanitarian.

****: I already know that. Leonardo told me this. What I'm curious about is your lives, the story of your lives.

Mason: Alright, if you want to learn that much, we can start. I'm Mason Brooks, 34 years old, and single.

****: We're not on a dating site. I don't care about that. I'm curious why you got into this work.

Mason: It all started with a computer my uncle got me. One day, my Facebook account was hacked, and when I started investigating that, I got into this work. Even though I want to leave, I haven't been able to. That computer completely changed my life.

****: Impressive.

(Let's see what the others' stories are.)
