Chapter 183
Dylan POV.
It had been a week since I had arrived in the rebellion. Still, I hadn’t set foot in the dining area again since my arrival, I genuinely just couldn’t bring myself to. I had been getting food from someone though, I was beginning to suspect Lewis, but it wasn’t set on stone. I’d get up now and again and find a tray with some food on top of it. I’d eat as much as I could but I was always left bloated and over fed. I even threw up a couple of times because I ate too much. Obviously my absence in the dining tent had been noted.
I probably should go back to the doctor to get an opinion on it. Maybe I was just too thin for big meals. That’s not an absurd notion, I remember reading something about eating disorders when I thought Erica might have had one, and it said to eat less food more often to build your appetite back up. Perhaps that’s what I needed to start doing.
I took one of the sleeping pills on the first night I was given them, and they genuinely did their job at giving me a long full night of sleep… During that sleep it was basically like being trapped in a never ending nightmare. I may have gotten a full nights sleep, but it was restless and terror filled. I woke up that day and couldn’t function through my freight, I wasn’t even able to leave the RV. I didn’t speak yone that day, and I was never going to feel the way I did again… those sleeping pills would never be touched by me again. Not that it truly mattered. No one here really cared about your mental state as long as your able to get on with the job given to you.
Much to my delight, Since arriving I had actively been put to work, I guess I did have to pay my way somehow, and honestly I was enjoying it, working helped to take my mind off things, it gave me something to focus on. Since I was already somewhat familiar with the smuggling trade, I had been placed in charge of the trucks that came in and out. I had to take reports from the Drivers. Oversee which items were more important than others and which ones would be delivered when. Like I said, it kept me busy and I really enjoyed doing it.
Anyway that’s where I currently was, taking inventory of one of the trucks that had returned.
“Is there any way I can get more milk tokens. Theres a lady in one of my districts with triplets, she’s definitely not getting enough tokens for her family.” I nodded my head at John and quickly made note of his request.
“That’s doable, if you can get me a new cell phone, then I can definitely arrange some for you.” I’d done that one before so I couldn’t see it being too big of an issue.
“Sure, I can do that.” He smiled at me and then began to get into a different topic altogether. “Your brother is doing ok… He told me to give you this…” the man proceeded to pull out an envelope with little doodles of color all over it. I
smiled at the thought of him drawing me a picture and begging john to smuggle it over the border lines. “The king remains clueless about who he is to you.” My interest was officially peaked as I looked at the man infringe of me.
“How is the king?” I was so worried about his response to my question. Obviously there had been bits an pieces shown on the news, but he had been relatively quiet and stayed out of the headlines as much as he could.
“He’s not handling things well. More and more people are turning against him, especially after he went on a rampage and physically punished the alphas son.” What? Adrian got punished because of me? That’s the one thing I didn’t want
to happen.
