Freedom to Meraki Chapter 19 Secrets
Nearly two months had passed since Keira and Sasha had landed on Meraki. Plans are still in motion to infiltrate Ouro but it takes time. Keira felt like she had a purpose again, having Alexander here from time to time opened doors for her. She had been to both battalions a couple of times to get a feel of their training and rules. Their army was massive. Most were based underground to evade any scouts. They also made use of massive trees, these giants were also turned into control rooms and lookouts. Because the vegetation was so dense they easily connected the trees with bridges. Although this method seemed outdated to most, it had kept them safe for a long time. The bases were a lot different from the communities. Their network was flawless, their people were disciplined and everyone was fully informed of what was expected of them. This only made her realize how small their tribe was compared to this. They also had à magnetic cloaking blanket for extra cover for Ouro
Freedom to Meraki Chapter 20 Mission Caleb
Keira woke up to a noise from outside her door. It is way too early, she thought to herself. She opened up the covers and slowly stood up. She grabbed the robe from the chair next to the bed and quickly ran to the door. Still half asleep, she knocked, but there was no answer. She put out her hand to the handle, since the last time she has not tried again. No surprise there, she thought. It was locked. She heard footsteps down the hall, all in a hurry. She banged against the door. "Hello?" She shouted. She heard loud voices coming closer, thank goodness she thought. The knob turned, and Jim's face appeared. "Yes, Miss Summons." He looked haggard and worried. "What is going on?" She demanded softly, looking at some of Caleb's close guards walking down the hall. "Go back to sleep. We can handle it," Jim said as he was about to close the door again. "Wait!" She pushed back open. "Maybe I can help?" She saw Alexander running down the hall dressed in gear. He was suited up. She was s

Keira lay low for a couple of minutes while deciding on her next move. Her glance ran over Caleb, he lay motionless in the corner. She had to come up with a plan quickly.“When will they come?” She heard the first man comment impatiently. The betrayer slowly lifted his head. “Stop asking the same question.” He sounded irritated. “Don’t you trust me?”“I don’t want to get caught. He has a huge army.” The man kicked his shoe in the dust.“How hard did you hit him over the head? He is not moving; he is useless to us dead!” The man in the uniform shouted.“Look you just told me to knock him out, and I did what you asked. I am going to check on Frank.” The man said turning around to leave the shelter.She pushed back further between the rocks, cautiously so they would not be alarmed. She held her breath when the man walked past just meters from her. She slowly let out a breath when he was out of her reach. Now was the time she thought, taking on one was better than two. Out of

Three days in bed has made her restless. Sasha had told her that Caleb had woken up, the hit on his head was not fatal. She would hate all their plans to go to waste if something happened to him. She was still in pain, but the pain medication had helped a lot. From inside her room, things seemed to have gone back to normal. From time to time, she listened in on the conversations that went on in the hallway. The past three days Sasha had to help her with even the smallest of things. She could not take a bath due to pain, and she could not fix the bandages on her back by herself. It was the first time she had to rely on someone this way.Caleb only entrusted a small amount of people in his house. It was evident that he had a target on his back, it was just sad that his people were also in on it. It just comes to show that you can’t trust anyone. She looked up as there was a knock on her door. “Miss Summons, are you awake?”She knew the voice all too well. “Yes, Jim.”Jim had
Freedom to Meraki Chapter 23 Out and about
Sasha helped her with the back brace. She still needed help here and there. Keira smiled at Sasha. “I am just a couple of screws away from being a humanoid.” “Stop it, it is not that bad. There are worse things than being a humanoid.” She pulled the brace tighter. “You can be glad I need you. I am just happy that we can leave the house now.” Keira pulled her shirt down and turned around. “I guess Mr Adler appreciated you saving him, with grace. Caleb does not seem like the type of man who would like a woman to save him. I sometimes wonder if he likes women at all.” Sasha eyed Keira. “He handled it rather well. He is just engulfed in work.” Keira answered shortly. Sasha rubbed her stomach in thought. “You know what baffles me?” She paused for a moment. “That you of all people are defending him?” Keira grabbed a jacket from her closet. “You read way too much in this. I would rather have you tell me about your pregnancy brain, that is way more interesting.” She walked towards the d

“It can only mean one thing, we have been infiltrated.” Keira heard Caleb’s voice when she walked down the passage. She slowly moved closer, trying to be as silent as she could. Careful not to make a noice.“Do we have any other information?” She heard Jim ask.“No, but from now on we must be extra careful.” There was silence for a moment. “I do not like where this is going.” Caleb sounded worried“What if they find her, do you think it has something to do with Keira?”“We will have to come up with a plan. For the time being, let's move to Soarsa. We will have to move out of the limelight and blend in.”“Lakeview is also an option,” Jim responded.“Lakeview is too far from the second base, I would like to have Alexander close by.” Another pause. “We should put the plan in motion before too many people notice. Please go and ask Miss Summons if she has time to come and see me.With that, Keira tried to move away but knew she was caught before taking the first step.“Miss Summons?
Freedom to Meraki Chapter 25 Project Ouro
Keira had to say goodbye to Sasha once again. She had decided in the end that taking any more time would risk exposure. She did not want to put anyone else’s life in danger. “Are you ready for this?” Sasha asked Keira trying to hide the tears in her eyes.They were sitting next to each other in the living room. It started raining and it felt to Keira like the rain was a reflection of how she felt inside. Even though the clouds could express themselves, she had to keep her tears cropped up. Keira had to be strong. “Why are you crying? You know I will be back, I won’t be killed that easily.” Keira smiled at Sasha gently pressing her hand.“I know, it might just be pregnancy brain.” She smiled. “I also know that everything has led to this point, it is just sad that you are doing this with Caleb. Although I trust him now, you would never know what he is truly capable of. What do we know about Caleb, other than what we have heard?” She rubbed her finger over her lips. “I think i

Like a Giant, the City came into full view. It was unlike anything Keira had ever seen before. The walls had a mirror-like shine but were black in color. There were small observation posts around the wall that hosted guards to defend the city. Closer to the gates it became more busy. She was not used to this amount of traffic. Hoovers were all over, small, big, carriers then there was the odd contraption here and there. She was expecting way less than the picture in front of her.“Be calm, I can see you are overwhelmed. They are going to test you at the gate, I am going to ask that you go first. Hopefully, when they get your results they won’t be bothered with me.” Caleb looked out in front of him and she knew for him coming back here would be torture.The road towards the entrance had huge rows of trees and gardens, this reminded her of pictures she had seen of castles it was flamboyant like you were entering a different dimension. This was for the rich and they spared no ex
