Chapter Text
“Attention everyone.” Tamika entered the dinning room, followed closely by Dana and Janice. The gathered citizens fell silent instantly as they waited for what she was to announce.
“Thank you all for meeting me.” She said, sitting at the head of the table, her eyes sweeping the room as she smiled kindly at everyone for a moment.
“With the help of Dana and Janice, I have come up with a plan for us to regain control of the city hall.”
“About five miles from here is a cave that will lead to several underground tunnels that will take us to the basement of city hall.” Janice said. “From there we will run up to city council’s office. They are of course out of town so we can regroup there. There, we can see how strong their defenses are and go from there.” Tamika finished. She looked around the room at the scared and worried faces of her fellow citizens. She sighed before saying,
“Look. I know we’re all scared, but we have to do this. To save our town. To save Night Vale. We can’t live in fear, hoping they won’t find us. We have to fight back, show them we’re not scared.”
“Let’s do this.” Kevin called excitedly.
“For Night Vale.” Carlos said standing up.
“We’ll leave at sundown.” Janice said. “The dark will give us better cover.” People started filing out of the room, talking excitedly about saving the town. Only Cecil and Carlos remained in the room, Cecil sitting on his chair looking very scared.
“It’s going to be ok.” Carlos said softly, pulling him into a tight hug. “We’re going to win and then we can go home and we’ll be safe. I promise we’ll make it through this.”
Cecil raised his head to look at Carlos.
“I love you so much.” He said smiling slightly.
“I love you too.” Carlos replied, kissing Cecil’s head.
