It’s been a couple months since we escaped and have yet to find a place
to call “home.”, (which in our case would be more like our base of
operations.) Sachiko and I decided way before we escaped that we would
fight to bring these jerks down, even if it cost us our lives. (We can’t
bear the thought of them continuing their practice and putting others
through similar horrors.) Of course, we immediately applied the question
of who wished to help to the others in our group as well, and most of
them agreed whole heartedly, (those few that didn’t where pretty much
still in a “shell-shocked” kind of state.) We haven’t really got a plan
of action yet, except to find a secure location to permanently stay at
and finding people that we can trust on the outside. (People like
lawyers, officers of the law from various authoritative sanctions,
family members of the “victims,” and such that aren’t corrupt.) Through
our own research we discovered that all but one of us has been declared
legally dead, and that one person still legally alive would be me. There
are of course advantages and disadvantages to both sides: The
advantages being that legally dead you can fly under the radar, but the
disadvantage is that makes it easier for our pursuers to make us
disappear again; being alive means I can’t fly under the radar, but I
have access to the public services. (Usually it takes at least seven
years of total disappearance before they even begin to label you as
dead, but apparently our enemies have a taste for the theatrics and made
it seem like each of us perished in one way or another. My parents
didn’t believe in their show apparently by the mere fact that I’m still
legally alive.) I’ve already decided I’ll be putting my enhanced
intelligence to good work to earn money to provide everyone with at
least a suitable amount of comfort. My first goal is to get a visa, or
to be more specific, a working visa. I’m sure suddenly appearing in
Japan as a missing person from the U.S.A. will cause quite a stir, but
I’ll be sure to use that to my advantage by insisting that I can do more
good if I stay here and work with the authorities in apprehending those
jerks… Well, something along those lines. I’ll definitely have to play
my cards right and in the beginning I’m sure it will be a lot of
play-by-ear. All I know is right now I need to focus on establishing a
safe house for my fellow refugees without the law or public finding out
about them. (At this point I don’t know who to trust or how deep this
corruption lies. Who knows how many or what type of people from however
many countries is involved.) Our ultimate goal is to bag as many of
these despicable creatures as we can and hopefully that will be such a
crippling blow they’ll be put out of business soon after, if not
immediately. Anyways, one step at a time…
