Rory walked through the giant door of Building 3. He walked up to the security desk. " My name is Rory Johnston". He held out his right wrist. " I was told my mother is a detainee here".

The security guard scanned Rory's wrist. " She's in the last cage on the left".

Rory walked past several cages filled with women. He walked up to the last one.

" Mother". He talked in a loud voice.

" Rory". His mother ran up to the front of the cage. " I told you I would not take the mark".

" I know". 

A One World security officer walked up to the cage. He was carrying a clip board.

" How much time do I have?".

The officer looked at the clip board. " Five minutes".

" Mother, you have to take Carlo's mark of loyalty".

" Rory, I refuse to".

" Mother, you have to".

" Rory, I'm ready to meet Jesus and your father".

" Mother, Jesus took my father away from me". His voice hesitated. " Remember".

" Rory, please give your life to Jesus".

" Mother, I can't". He sighed. " My loyalty is with Carlo Simpato". 

" Son, I will pray for you".

The security guard checked his watch. " It's time".

" I'm sorry Mother". Rory began to cry. " There's nothing else I can do".

" I know".

Rory walked outside. He walked by Building 2. He heard a strange noise coming from inside the building. It sounded like a constant thud.
