The Other Side

Resist

Location: Calico University, Ardonia

POV(holy shit not 3rd person): Leo

I am a 20 year old college student in Ardonia, and a member of the Red Morning organization. Legally I am a terrorist and a member of the insurgency. The army has kept a tight grip on Ardonia over the past few years after some other resistance members took out a convoy carrying classified shit. Right now there is no warrants out for me so I can still live a somewhat normal life. Most people on the campus would turn me in to the police if they found out who I am.

I see through the facade of our tyrannical government. I made contact with some conspiracy theorist a few months ago, he told me a bunch of things and a week later the government was sentencing him to death for terrorism. He wasn't even in the region the crime they said he committed occurred in. That was what convinced me that I needed to fight back. 

Enough monologuing in my head, I think I just heard someone talking in the halls.

?: POLICE!

That answers who was talking I guess. I ran over to a cabinet and opened a concealed compartment. I grabbed my pistol, gas mask, and a few disposable phones before climbing out my window and to a fire escape. I ran up to the roof and stashed it under an AC unit before heading back down and prepared for some cops to raid my room. Like clockwork there was banging on the door and the cops started screaming orders.

Cop: Police department, search warrant!

I opened to door and was pulled to the ground by some officers while a team entered my room. The officers holding me down zip tied my arms behind my back and I saw an officer crouch down in my room.

Shit.

I may or may not have forgotten something when I hid everything. I had a few sketches of classified military tech and the cop was holding it. The cop turned to look at me and walked over to his supervisor. I know something these cops don't about this building. It has nails poking out of the walls in a few places. Continently where I was being kept. I slowly cut the zip tie off and freed my hands while the cops continued to search the floor. When one grabbed me I punched the fucker in the face and ran to my room. I grabbed the documents and ran to the fire escape.

Cop: Suspect broke free and is on foot, heading up to the roof via fire escape. Suspect already attacked an officer.

I climbed up and put on my gas mask and grabbed my gun and phones. I saw the head of a cop poke over the wall and shot him. His helmet cracked and he fell down the stairs. A spotlight shined down on me from above and I heard gunfire as a cop in the helicopter opened fire on me.

Cop: 10-99, shots fired, officer down. GSW to the head, need an RA to stage.

So the entire APD is running at me while I carry documents that would get me executed for knowing about them and I just shot a cop.

I need to lay out my goals:

1-Get off the roof, preferably alive and not in handcuffs.

2-Find another resistance member to pass of my intel to.

3-Go into hiding because odds are a team that doesn't exist is about to shoot me in an fight that never happened.

Called it. Black military helicopter just flew over and it is being followed by green military helicopters. I also see ropes with cops sliding down them from a police helicopter. I ran to the edge of the roof and looked down to see a river. I turned around to run back but there is a line of SWAT officers pointing rifles and ordering me to get down.

Cop: End of the line motherfucker! Drop the gun!

I considered my options and did the sane thing. I jumped 50 feet into a river. I somehow didn't instantly die and began to swim to the edge, that was until I saw spotlights shine down onto me. I dove down before the helicopters could spot me. Police cars arrived on the sides of the water as I drifted down the river. The moment I could I climbed out and ran to a store to buy clothes.

TV: A dangerous terrorist has just killed a police officer at the Calico University. The suspect jumped into a river and police are actively looking for them. The suspect's name is Leo Denska, a 20 year old male with black hair and brown eyes. If you have any information contact the APD on their non emergency number. If you see Denska call 9-1-1 directly.

Well that was fast, so my face and name are on every news channel in the country, and on every cop's computer. To make it worse is that Ardonia has the lowest number of sympathizers in the nation because most of them were arrested already. That and the fact some more radical members bombed some random civilians, but it was for a good cause. Unfortunately the people here won't see it that way.

I might as well play the part. I walked up to a clothing store owner closing his shop and put my gun to his back.

Me: Walk in, no sudden moves.

I tied up the owner and a random employee who was dancing while mopping the bathroom and went off to get new clothes. I made sure to blindfold them before I did it so my clothing description would not be known for a while. I bought the most generic shit I could, broke the cameras and monitoring equipment. I then robbed the cash register because I am going to be running for a while. Wait. Fuck. I watched as a police car rolled up and the officers got out. They started to walk towards the store and of course I forgot to gag the hostages.

Owner: HELP! TERRORIST IN THE STORE! I GOT TAKEN HOST-

I punched him and that knocked him out but the cops had heard.

Two officer kicked in the door and I opened fire on them while using the employee as a shield. The cops had some morals so they didn't shoot back and dove for cover. I grabbed a fire extinguisher off a wall and rolled it beside the cops. When it stopped next to them I shot it and a white powder filled the air blinding the cops. I ran past and used some car keys I stole from the employee to get into his car. Which was a sports car, the fuck do you get paid to mop floors?

I sped off and ditched the car in the poor part of the city and ran into the place I first met the Red Morning and decided to join. Inside were plenty of other "insurgents" looking at the TV which was talking about yours truly. I went inside and walked into a closed off room.
