I wake up early in the morning, sit up, and rub my eyes. Ilook at the clock. 4:15. I get up and silently walk out of my room, through theroom my friends share, and go to the conference room. I was supposed to meetJamison there at 4:30. Of course, he was already there.

He says "ah, Nova. We've got your troops ready to go, allfamiliar with the plan."

I nod and say "then let's get to work."

He leads me outside, and there are three busses filled withpeople. I nod and say "should be good. Let's get on the road, we've got a longride ahead of us."

He nods and leads me to a car with dark windows, probablybullet-proof. He opens the passenger's side front door for me, and I sit in theseat. He gets in the driver's seat and starts the engine. He dials a number onhis phone and says "we're ready."

The busses start their engines, and he says "feel free to goback to sleep. You look exhausted."

I say "because I amexhausted."

He says "then go to sleep."

I say "I can't sleep. Not after yesterday. Just drive."

He drives ahead of the busses and leads the way.
