The Rat Collector: A Dystopian Thriller (Age of End Book 1)
Page 15
Trevor shrugged. “I am taking it seriously. I’m just confident in Greene’s security.”
“You shouldn’t be overconfident. It leads to embarrassment.”
“There’s nothing wrong with being confident.”
“There is if it gets you killed. That’s how Saul got shot. He didn’t think Barnabus would do it. But when it comes to people like Barnabus, or Simon, you always proceed with caution. There’s no telling what they’ll do. The crazy are unpredictable.”
“Where does Greene fall on your crazy-scale?”
She looked around to see if anyone was listening, and then lowered her voice. “I don’t believe in everything Greene stands for, but the man has principles, and he sticks to them. I respect that. Simon is just a savage.”
They turned the corner and headed towards the safe room at the other end of the hallway. “You don’t believe in what he stands for, huh? This is the first time I’m hearing this.”
“Keep your voice down. It’s not really something I want to advertise. I probably shouldn’t have even mentioned it.”
“You’re right, you shouldn’t have. That kind of talk will get you fired. Or thrown in prison.”
“I wouldn’t get thrown in prison.”
“You would. Have you seen the cell room? Do you have any idea how many of those people committed treason?”
“But those are terrorists. Members of the Crowns. He wouldn’t lock one of his workers up with them.”
“Are you sure about that? I’ve never met the man, but I hear he can hold a grudge.”
“Just don’t mention this to anyone else and I won’t have to worry.”
“My lips are sealed.”
They reached the end of the hall and entered the safe room. Everyone else was already there. “Took you long enough,” said the man in front. “We’ve been waiting. You know there are terrorists out there, right? You could have picked it up a little.”
Charlotte sighed. “Calm down. They won’t even make it past the second wall.” She pressed the red button and the door locked behind her.

About The Author:
Chris Yee grew up in Needham, Massachusetts. As a young child, he had a wild imagination, thinking up stories of mystery and wonder. People would ask what he wanted to be when he grew up, and the answer was always the same. He wanted to be an author. As he grew older, educational interests pulled him away from the world of writing and into math and science. He attended Northeastern University and received a Bachelor’s Degree in civil engineering. He now works in Boston, full-time as an engineer. Despite his technical background, he never lost an interest in writing. He writes every day, to fulfill a passion that has never faded.
