The Co-operative // Michael Langdon Fiction

*Little Explicit*

"Michael these people are getting ahead of themselves you need to speed up this process!" I said swinging the door open. He turned to me looking puzzled as to why I was talking to him and why I was so abrupt. "They are starting to ignore the rules. Probably in hopes that they can die or make someone angry."

"I'm going to interview the rest of them starting with your two special troublemakers, then i'll have another interview with mine, " he said walking closer to me. Well I knew he was talking about Timothy and Emily but who his 'trouble maker'. "Gallant... he did something...evil." Michael said with a nasty smile. In that short time what could he have dont that was so evil.

"Well what did he do Michael?" In his hands he held onto a purple diamond necklace, it was Evie's. The necklace was beautiful, but it had blood smeared around it. "Oh my, what did he do?" I said walking towards it. The blood was fresh, so whatever did happen, was recent.

"With help from our latex demon. Gallant has fulfilled one of his desires of killing his grandmother." He said placing the necklace down on the side table. Michael tried to grab onto me but all I did was back away from his wandering hands. "Malia what is wrong? Why won't you let me touch you?" he expressed looking very confused and a little heartbroken.

"Why do you think Michael. Im not something you can use so that you have the upper hand." i spat

"Oh, this is about Gallant right? I didn't think it would bother you," he said stepping forward again. Michael was arrogant as i observed before, but he is oblivious to other people's feelings and how could i blame him. From what i hear he didn't really have anyone that considered his feelings in the past, but that wasn't a pass in my books.

"We are a team now. So you have to consider my feelings too now, like i consider yours." I expressed allowing him to now close the space between us. He placed his hand on my cheek and nodded his head. When he started to lean down i placed my finger on his lip causing him to open his eyes looking very confused. "You need to interview the others. Then i'll give you more of a taste" i said mimicking what he had said to me in Outpost One. A sly smirk blessed his face and he swerved and kissed me on the cheek. Then he walked out of the door, closing it behind him.

It started to get very boring waiting for Michael to come back. I knew that it would take a lot of time considering he was finishing all the interviews up, but i was hoping he would kind of kill everyone like he did at Outpost one. I glance across the room and notice the laptop that Michael has been using to message the outpost.

I knew that it was a breach in privacy and i probably shouldn't be doing it, but he is my 'husband' and i think it would be better if i knew more about the great plan. Opening the message board i looked at the recent message labeled 'Delivery Required'. I was recently considering the Sanctuary haven't even read the message yet.

Delivery Required for Outpost 3. Send 2 dozen fresh apples from the garden by carriage to Outpost 3. I expect the delivery to be as soon as possible and the apples to be unirradiated.

Langdon.

What is Michael planning? Why fresh apples? Its symbolic considering the Garden of Eden and how Adam and Eve were instructed to not eat the apples, but with temptation from Crowley they disobeyed God.

Just then the door creaks open and I jump closing the laptop and and looking toward who has just entered. "Sorry i thought you heard me." Timothy partically whispered standing in the door frame. I let out a relieved sigh and waved him to come in.

"I just came from my interview. I wanted to thank you for what you did" he said fiddling with his thumbs. He must be talking about when i saved him for Mrs. Venables ridiculous rules. Timothy kept his head down averting his eyes from mine.
