Chapter 41

"Really?" she said. "What's the plan, then?"

"Nothing. We're not going. I've had it and it seems that guys have too. We're not organizing shit. We're working on a new record and we would all rather be with our families than go fix Humpty Dumpty."

Brie laughed. "The Agency is Humpty Dumpty? Have you been reading too many nursery rhymes, baby?"

He smiled. "Maybe, but a fact is a fact. We're not going. The Agency is falling apart and we're NOT running to the rescue."

"How is the war coming?"

"Our General is still trying to locate the HQ of the Establishment. So far, no luck."

Brie's face screwed up in thought, then her eyes went wide. "I can take you right too it."

David called the guys into their room. "Brie has something interesting to tell you guys." They all looked at her.

"I know where the headquarters of the "Establishment". It jut occurred to me."

"Where?" Dan asked.

"A town north of Denver called Greeley. It's a horrid little city where pretty much everyone sucks. The only tie I have to that place is that I went to Massage School there."

"What building is it?" Mike asked

Brie smiled. "That's the trick. It's not just one building, it's a couple of buildings. One time I was in the basement of the courthouse taking care of some stuff when I heard someone mention an establishment in a whisper. I stopped and listened. They were talking about stopping what they think is corruption in society, and that means people like the old me, Irian. People that refuse to conform to what everyone thinks is acceptable. I would see cars from all over the country there for days, weeks at a time."

"David, we have to tell the General. There's no way around this", John said. "This could end the war and our service to the agency."

"I agree about the ending the war thing, but I doubt the agency will really ever let us go if we end this war", Mike said. "But we still need to tell HQ."

"I agree with Mike and John on this. We need to tell the General or someone. We can't withhold this information from them."

David nodded. "I'll make the call first thing in the morning. I'm too tired to do it tonight."
