George just briefly skimmed through the book. he was ordered to go back to his tent, tent 7a, and to wait for further orders. By this time it was near midnight. George was very tired. Not only had he seen Dr. Li die, but all of those innocent women and children during his escape. But yet, somehow, it all seemed familiar. George decided that his past, what happened at Rivet City and his unknown past, was not important at the moment. He decided that now the most important thing to do was to escape this place.
George sat and thought. He would never be able to escape on his own. Security was tight. All of this seemed out of place. Raiders no longer being free-for-all's? George didn't remember anything except for this day, but he knew all of this wasn't right. It all seemed better. It all seemed worse. George decided he'd have to get help. But who could he trust, he didn't know anyone here. And hopefully no one knew him, the so called "George Feir". Hell, he didn't even know his own name. How could he even hope to escape? Would he forever be known as George Feir? Would he forever have to raid for a living? No. No, there has to be someone in here who sees the wrong of all this.
Interrupting his thoughts, the door opened. A young boy, with hair as red as could be walked in, he seemed to be about 15 years old , short, about 5' 4", and thin. "Excuse me George, but I've been told to share this tent with y-" The boy looked. He had a queer look on his face. "You're not George." George coughed.
"Of course I am." He said, an obvious lie by the tone. They boy examined George closely. After several moments he finally spoke.
"Just who the hell are you? You may have the others fooled, but I know that you can't be George. So, I ask again. Who. Are. You?" George looked down at his feet, head sunken. He murmured a reply to the boy. The boy got angry."What?"
"I don't know!" George bursted. "I just don't know! I killed a raider and took his clothes. It must've been the real George."
"That's it," The boy said, "I'm calling a guard. You're crazy."
"NO!" George said. "Don't you see? It doesn't make sense. None of it! The structure, the order...ME!"
The boy took a seat on the old flattened bed. He closed his eyes and though. Many thoughts. It seemed like an eternity. At last, the boy came to his decision.
