Spy or Traitor

Date: 12/29/2017

I was sleeping on my stomach and felt someone straddled on top of me. They had something pushed into my head and were moving it around. I moved and the person on me tightened their grip and said something about not moving that they were only checking my head. I realized it was an ultrasound machine or something similar, so began telling them about the pain I’ve had radiating in my right temple, which I suspect stems from the pain in I have in my lower neck/upper back. They said something to the effect of the machine not being able to see everything but something is definitely going on there. They got off me and I got up. I was outside, in a wooded area. We had set up camp and were planning our strategy to defeat the others. We knew they had us outnumbered. We drove to a clearing and were discussing our next move when we had to suddenly scatter at the enemies arrival. I struggled to get everything tucked into my jacket pockets including a large knife. I ran but I couldn’t get far. I ended up with a strong, tall black woman from our group. We found ourselves in the enemy headquarters - an old, large structure with wooden walls and dirt floors. She moved quickly and I lost her. I thought I was ready for enemy confrontation but I felt instant fear when I was spotted. I stumbled with my words and said something to the effect of switching sides. They laughed not believing me. I was physically passed into another room and heard them tell this other group they were now responsible for me. Their behavior was reminiscent of a pirate crew. I was loosely questioned and loosely answering. They decided to prove my loyalty I would be assigned the next job that came in. I asked what the jobs were and told they could vary but usually it was an assignment at a location to shoot enemies. One said that most locations have a hot tub though. I was like ‘So you sit in a hot tub and shoot people?’ Their reply ‘Yep. Pretty much.’ I wasn’t sure how to reconcile the notion. I questioned whether I was capable of following through with being a spy, how far would I go with it and if it would result in me actually becoming a traitor.
