U.S.A. Listed

In early 1959 a secret organization was born out of a small branch of The United States government. It consisted of nine men and was only known about by top military brass.

These men traveled the United States in search of one thing, to assassinate the bottom of the barrel criminals so the government would not have to pay to have them housed for the rest of their lives in prison.

Deep in record vaults of police stations across the country these murders (Assassinations) have gone unsolved. With the age of computers, the secret organization compiled a list of people to be exterminated. This list was hidden deep in a computer program that could only be accessed by a member of the organization. If you were unfortunate enough to be on this list, within a matter of days you would no longer exist.

This secret organization was known as the underground secret association, code name U.S.A. Though at present day the faces have changed, the mission has not. Even though the organization has remained a secret for all these years, no one would ever expect anything like this could exist-- until now.

Brad spent the rest of the night on the couch in front of the television. It wasn’t long before he fell asleep. The next day’s sunlight awoke him. He got up and walked into the kitchen for a glass of water, when all of a sudden there was a pounding on the back door. “Yeah, I’m coming,” he walked slowly over to the door and opened it. It was Tim, “look at this, look!” Tim handed Brad the morning newspaper. Brad took it, unfolded it and looked at it.

In bold letters it read: “Two local teens killed in fiery blaze.” Brad looked up at Tim and said, “Is it someone we know?” Tim pointed at the paper and said, “Read it.” Brad looked back down at the paper and read. “Seven three ninety nine, two local boys, Bruce Matsen and Mike Hadley, died late last night in a downtown warehouse fire at 815 Archway drive. The two boys are suspected of starting the blaze that took their lives.

Both boys were sixteen. Around eleven p.m. last night the fire department responded to a call to the scene. It is unknown why the boys were at the warehouse. Police are investigating.”

Brad looked back up at Tim in disbelief. “This can’t be?” Tim seemed very worried as he spoke. “It’s true and you know who’s next, don’t you?” They looked at each other and it was obvious that they were thinking the exact same thing. They both ran into Brad’s house, Brad leading the way. When they entered the house the running became a brisk walk straight to the den.

Brad turned on the computer and began typing in the password. The screen lit up, then sounded a series of beeps then scrolled through the names and numbers, then stopped. Brad clapped his hands together once and said, “We’re in!” They stared at the screen and noticed that both Mike and Bruce’s names had time and date of death - also both names had deceased in front of them.

They noticed that more names had been added to the list after theirs. They didn’t get a chance to get a good look at the names that were added, before the computer screen went blank. “Damn!” said Brad as he flicked the computer off and on. “Nothing!” he said with disappointment. Tim was very nervous and it was obvious by the tone of his voice as he said, “What are we going to do now!”

“I don’t know. Let me think for a minute,” said Brad as he put his hand on his forehead as if he were thinking real hard.

A few minutes had passed with complete silence. Then Brad removed his hand from his forehead and said, “We have to go to the police.” Without hesitation Tim replied, “That’s it, let’s go.” They both got up and bolted out of the room and out of the house.

They took off out of the house so fast that they were half way down the block before the screen door even shut.
