Mick stares at him. “You know what that is, don’t you.”
“What’s going on?” Maeve asks.
Derek drove over to a console on the left of the holographic image. It was full of varying symbols of different sizes.
“How did you know? Like nobody knows.” Derek smiles shaking his head from side to side.
Aaron speaks. “About six months ago, the resistance broke into the Secret Services gaining access to the files of every human being in the system. So, when we heard that you had freed our Maeve, it made sense to learn more.”
Derek’s smile disappears as Aaron continues.
“We know they turned. you. But we also know that you are one of the few people who understand the Tomahaw code that could help us carry this out. To be honest, I found that your a nice guy. So, hopefully we can come to an arrangement.”
Maeves’ hands are up around her mouth. “What have you done?”
Derek goes red in the face and tries to speak. Then, he clears his throat. “It was the only way to save you, Maeve. I swear. I learned Tomahaw when I was young. It’s archaic, obsolete in many ways. That’s why so few know it. She said that she’ll kill my relations if I don’t do as she asks.”
