Excerpt for The Resistance by Alicia Michaels:
“Please,” I beg the officer standing in front of me, the face shield of his helmet pushed back. “Take me and let them go. They had nothing to do with this.”Nearby, my mom and dad are prostrate on the ground, their hands cuffed behind their backs. My little sister is sobbing beside them on her knees, her face buried in her hands. The officer who I now know as Captain Rodney Jones of the Enforcers Squadron sneers at me before spitting on the ground. His loogie misses me by inches. “Young lady, are you aware of the law regarding the harboring of Bionics and its consequences?”I nod, tears streaming from my human eye. My heart is pounding in my chest. “Yes, but… these people weren’t harboring me,” I say. “I’ve been sneaking in and out of their basement every night looking for a place to sleep, that’s all. They had no idea I was there.”“Really?” His tone tells me he doesn’t believe a word I’m saying. He walks over to where my parents are lying. He grasps my mother by her beautiful, wheat-colored hair and yanks, forcing her head up. She cries out, and my father thrashes in his bonds.“Stop!” he bellows, his large shoulders tensing as he strains against the cuffs. Sweat is pouring from his dark forehead, but his eyes are narrowed and murderous. “Leave my wife and daughters alone,” he says, his voice deceptively calm. I can hear the edge of anger there. “I’m the one you need to deal with. Talk to me.”Rodney shrugs and releases my mom, her head falling back to the grass with a dull ‘thud’. Captain Jones crouches beside my father, who is glaring up at him from where he lays, powerless to protect me.I should have left. I never should have let him talk me into hiding out in the basement of our house. Jones presses the gun between my father’s eyes and I scream, fighting against the large hand clamped down on my shoulder. A blow stuns me as the M.P. holding me captive whips his pistol across my face. My vision blurs, and my ears roar with the sound of rushing blood. I can feel my cheek swelling.“What is your name?” Jones asks quietly.My father doesn’t bat an eyelash. “Zion Sol.”“Zion, do you know this girl?”Please, I think, my eyes locking with his as he turns to look at me. Please lie!My dad simply smiles at me, tears filling his eyes. “It’s okay, Blythe,” he says gently. “It’s going to be okay.”A sob escapes my lips, and I hang my head. Why didn’t he lie? He could have at least saved himself, my mom, and my sister. Now, we are all going to die.“She is my daughter,” my father continues. “I hid her willingly and knowingly, and I would do it again.”
The words are barely out of his mouth before the sound of the shot rings out over our yard. My father’s head falls back to the ground, blood oozing from the hole between his eyebrows.
