Chapter 7

(This is an unedit first draft, not even been proof read first.  So, my apologise for been so rough)

Alison and Sonia didn't visit any of the new clients Mike send them, with Mike gone, the girls lost their only source of income and they weren't able to get a legitimate job.  In this society hiring women could land the employer in prison and most employer won't risk it.  There was one priest in the Catholic church that is trying to changed it, Father Senator David Matthews.  He argue that if a single mother is not allow to work, she would not be able to afford to support her children.  But his argument was soon be overturned by others in the Senate saying, a marriage is "death to us part" and women should not be encourage to work, because by having to financial rely on a man, would encourage them to get married and the teaching of the church encourage marriage.  When Father Senator David Matthews talk about the dealing with irresponsible husband that won't take care of the child and wife and how would a single woman whom have no family take care of herself or her children, the Catholic church excommunicated him.  As a result, Father Senator David Matthews, also lost his seat in the Senate, because, by the law of the Catholic Republic of Australia, those whom are been excommunicated by the church cannot be in government. 
Sonia and Alison tried surviving through any mean they can think of, most of the time they just beg for money.  Today, the two of them was once again begging at a street corner.  There was a small restaurant behind them, under the policy of the Catholic Republic of Australia, there is an increasing gap between the rich and the poor and a small handful of people hold the majority wealth of the country.   
At the end of the street Sonia saw two police officers "Cops, keep your head down." Sonia whispered.   
The sisters don't want the cops to see them.  But then the cops stopped and stood in front of them and then one cop started speaking "Alison Reid, you are under arrest for the crime of premarital sex.  You have the right to remain silent, anything you say or do can be use..."  
"Run!" Sonia said, the two girls started running away from the police officers.  The cops started chasing after them, but little does the sisters know there are two plain cloth police officers, standing on both end of the street and when they ran passed them, the plain cloth cops, tackled the sisters to the ground.   
The two uniform cops that was chasing after them, caught up and started dragging Alison away. 
"Alison no!!!" Sonia cried, watching the cops handcuff her sister and prepare to take her away.  Two police officer hold onto Sonia, not letting her get close to her younger sister, they have no intention of arresting Sonia, after all, she is not the one that have an arrest warrant on her head.    
The police started reading Sonia her Meridian rights  "Alison Reid, you are under arrest for conducting pre marital sex.  You have the right to remain silent.  Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.  You have the right to an attorney.  If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you." The cops said as they dragged the screaming Alison away.   
"Alison No!!!" Sonia cried, with the two police officer still holding her down, as she watch her sister been pulled into a police car.  Suddenly, bang, the first police officer was shot and fall to the ground, there was a woman holding a pistol.  People started screaming and running away, as they saw the gun shots. Then, bang, bang two bullets hit another cop, there was a man holding another pistol.  A third man jumped the two cops holding down Alison from behind, the two cops prepared to grabbed their pistols, but this third man kicked the gun out of the two cops' hand first, a fold out samurai sword appear on his hand and in two moves he cut down the two police officers.   
"Alison Reid and Sonia Reid?" The man with the Samurai sword said 
"Yes" Sonia said 
"Come with us.  This place is crawling with cops." The guy with the samurai sword said 
"OK" Sonia and Alison don't know who this man is, but they have no choice but to trust him, right now.   
"Clare, David, let's go." The man with the Samurai sword said 
"Yes sir," they said and they followed.  Two cops ran forward to the scene, after hearing the gunshot.  Clare open two shots and killed the two cops.  Then they walked into the back of a street 
There was a woman standing there. 
"Jane, do your stuff." The man with the samurai sword said 
"Yes, sir." The woman said.  Under five minutes, Jane made both Sonia and Alison look completely different, totally unrecognizable.   
"Let's go" the man with the samurai sword said.  Sonia, Alison, Clare, David, Jane and the guy with the Samurai sword kept walking.  They saw cops on the street searching for Sonia and Alison.   
"Act normal and keep walking." Clare whispered. 
Alison and Sonia listened to Clare and keep walking.  The cops ran passed them to the gunshot, not recognizing Sonia and Alison.  A little while later, they arrived to a location with no people, other than meadows.   
"We are safe." The guy with the samurai sword said 
"Who are you people?" Alison asked 
"Lieutenant Steve Tank." The guy with the samurai sword said "These people are from my team. 
"You guys are the rebels?" Sonia said 
"Australian army.  The real Australian army.  Not the Catholic Republic one.  Saying we are rebels, would be saying the Catholic Republic of Australia is currently, the legitimate government of Australia.  They are not we answer to the real Australian government in Tasmania.  But, if you want to know the answer, we are the ones the Catholic Republic of Australia refer to as terrorists and rebels." Steve said. 
"I always thought you guys are independent rebel forces, fighting against the Catholic church." Sonia said 
"That is a common misconception, but we belong to the Australian defense force.  We are set up before the Australian government and defense force retreat to Tasmania, our order is to continue to use harassment techniques to undermine the Catholic church and gather intelligence for the government.  But we operate as independent cell network, so, we answer to the government, but is allowed to function independently.   Each squad, platoon, company and so on, function independently, under their command.  This way, if one cell got erased, the others function perfectly and if spies infiltrated a cell, the rest would not be affected.  But with the government absent, most of our soldiers are locally recruited, independent from the government, we get our funds from everywhere, some from our own government, other funding from other countries and sometime locally, through various methods, such as raiding the Catholic Republic's funding." Steve said 
"Why did you help us, we are not anybody important." Alison said 
"Your brother, asked us to keep an eye on you, if anything happen to him." Steve said 
"Our brother?" Sonia said 
"Mike, he is your brother from your father side.  You two were pretty young when these, happen, so you probably don't know.  One hundred and fifty years ago, the government of Japan came up with an idea to deal with aging population.  They found out there are a lot of young people out there, whom might want to have children, but might not want to get married or find it difficult to find a partner.  This is especially the case for men, they want children, but are no interest in having a spouse, even found the concept of marriage suffocating.  The idea was to take marriage out of the equation.  Under this policy, two people can be unmarried and not in a relationship, but joint together to have a child and share joint custody.  The policy say, if a man and a woman want to have a child together, but have no intention of getting married or even been in a relationship, they can go register with child service, for their intention of having a child together.  They must then meet a series of criteria, if they meet these criteria, then the child protection agency would give them a license, where the state recognized such agreement.  The first birth these two have together, would be one, where the two have joint custody.  It would be up to the two parents, to figure out how they would work as a team to raise the child, the government won't interfere, since by getting this license, the state already acknowledge these two are competent of doing so, on their own, as a team.  The set of criteria,  include, firstly, the child protection service must be satisfied they are financially able to raise the child as a team and individuals.  Secondly, the child protection service must be satisfied they are mentally competent to raise the child both as individuals and as a team.  Thirdly, neither parents can have criminal record.  Four, to ensure genetic diversity, both the man and the woman, cannot already have six children or more.  Five, to ensure genetic diversity, if the same pair of man and woman, already been granted three license of such, they cannot have a fourth.  Six, to ensure genetic diversity, if the number of men or women they have license with and the number of different men or women they knowingly have a child with, jointly become more than three, they would not be eligible to have a license.  Seven, to prevent a man or a woman to abuse this system to cheat on their married partner, people who are married are not allow to get a license.  Eight, to prevent a man or a woman to abuse this system to cheat on their married partner, they have a child with.  even if either the man or the woman requesting a license is divorce, if he/she have at least one child with their ex husband or ex wife, it would require their ex's consent.  Nine, both the man and woman, must be over the age of thirty.  Ten, the child protection agency must be satisfied, they are not blood relative.  The idea feed on firstly, the fact that many women, once passed an age are eager to have a child, because their biological clock is ticking, but unfortunately might find it hard to find a marriage partner.  Secondly, male sexual desire, is primary motivated by a subconscious desire of releasing a desire to passed on their genes, by having offspring.  This is why, women, whom men find sexually attractive usually have physical and mental trade of been a fit mother.  Women with large breast, usually have more proteins in their milk, for child development.  The idea men like girls with big ass is a social misconception, most men prefer wide hips and that is because wide hips girls, are less likely to have complication in childbirth.  The idea that guys like skinny girls is also a misconception, men like fit girls, the only reason they don't like masculine girls, is a male ego thing.  But it is motivated by the idea that fit girls make healthy babies and later in motherhood, fit girls have more energy, to take care of children.  Guys are instinctively attracted to smart, nice and logical girls, because the common believe smart, nice and logical girls, make good mothers.  When men see women with these characteristics, they instinctively want to have sexual intercourse with them.  It is an animal instinct.  The policy's idea is to feed off men's primary animal instinct and women's desire to beat their biological clock.  The policy was a success in Japan and it did help increase birth rate, by 20%.  Soon, it was been adopted in more countries.  Eventually, some western countries wanted to use this policy.  The Catholic church was furious at this policy.  They believe sex and childbirth, should be between a husband and a wife.  What do you expect from the Catholic church, I mean prior to the 1980s, in Ireland, they throw women in Catholic prison for life and confiscate their child, just for been unwed mothers.  Christianity is never the mainstream religion outside the west and the Catholic church have little influence, so there was little the church can do.  But when more and more western countries, started talking about adopting this strategy in Japan, to deal with their own aging population problem, the Catholic church conduct all out assault on it with the argument of 'it is a sin'.  The Catholic church led protests, even riots against this policy.  Even so, between seventy and ninety year ago, this idea origin from Japan, became legalized in all western countries that are facing the issue of aging population.  The Catholic church was furious.  When the policy became legalized in the United States, the Catholic church led rioters conducting attack down the streets of New York, the national guards needed to be called in, to help put down the riot.  Your mother gave birth to your brother, Mike, this way.  He and Alison share the same father.  Sonia on the other hand, is his half sister.  Your mother gave birth to him, when she was thirty two.  Five years later, your mother got married and gave birth to Sonia one years later.  But during the time when your mother was pregnant, the father ran off with another woman.  Sometime after Sonia was born, your mother and Alison's father decided to get married and got engaged and during this time, become pregnant with Alison.  It was during this time, the Catholic Liberation force of Australia revolt against government rule.  Your father was killed by the Catholic Liberation force and your mother tried taking you and your brother to escape to eastern Australia, but in the rush, she lost your brother Mike.  You are too young to remember these Sonia.  After the government retreat to Australia, a section of Australian defense force was ordered to stay behind, to conduct gorilla warfare assault against the Catholic Republic of Australia, gather intelligence for the government and recruit more Patriots to the cause.  This is the so call, operation Power Rangers, name after a series of short plays from late 20th century to early 21st century, about a group of warriors with superhuman ability defending their homeland against foreign invaders.  Mike eventually joined the Australian defense force station on the mainland and signed up to operation Power Rangers.   He was originally in logistic, helping to raise funds for the military.  We get funding from our own government and from the Asians, but consider those need to smuggle onto the mainland, it is not enough, so we have to raise funds ourselves, also.  Then, he moved into intelligence.  Unfortunately, a few weeks ago, his team got compromised and he got killed.  Mike never stopped searching for the two of you, also.  He wanted to tell you who he is.  But as a member of the Australian defense force embedded here is danger, plus, the Catholic church is hunting down children born from such license and having them thrown in labor camp, to work as slave labor.  We all know, despite it is only a three year service, half of the people that went into those camps, never come out alive.  Before the Australian government left for Tasmania, they destroyed all public record on these licenses, in Eastern Australia.  So, the Catholic Republic of Australia, cannot conduct the same persecution against these children, as they did in Western Australia.  As a soldier, he barely have enough money of his own, the only thing he could do, is help make the prostitution thing you two are already doing safer, from been caught from the cops." Steve said  
"Can I ask you a question?" Sonia said 
"Shoot." Steve asked 
"Do you know anyway to help my sister?  Because of the arrest warrant out for her?" Steve said 
"There might be one, it is a long shot, but it is possible." Steve said 
"I will try it." Sonia said 
"That nun that requested a call girl that Mike give you.  Do you still have the paper?" Steve asked 
"yes" Sonia said, she gave the paper to Steve 
"Mother Marina Lorson, fifty six years old, she is on the justice committee.  She is authorized to pardon the crime of any young woman, unless it is deem a threat to the Church's power in the country.  You get into her good book, you are good." Steve said 
"What are you recommending." Sonia asked 
"For you to be her lesbian mistress." Steve said 
~Part 2 
Father Senator David Matthews, is just David Matthews now.  Do you remember him, he has been excommunicated from the church, for trying to legalized women's right to work and as a result, he lost his seat in the Senate and his priesthood.   
David kneel in front of a cross of Jesus in his home, with a bible next to him.  He felt the Catholic church have totally lost its way and he is not sure what can he do about it.  David kept praying, asking god for strength.   
David know his time of end is near, soon, the secret police would come for him.  He have been excommunicated for one year now and the secret police come for anyone, whom the church deemed as a threat to their authority.  David know that he have been labeled as one, by the church, for what he was doing in the Senate.  David know the risk, the very first day he started pushing for the agenda in the Senate, but he don't want to see innocent women starving to death, begging on the street, because it is illegal for them to work.  Any women who are found guilty of working, by the court, would not go to prison, but they would have their hands cut off.  That is first offense.  On second offense, the church would dug out their eyes.  David know lobbying for a woman's right to work, is a long shot and might put him at risk, at first, he lobby to create a law, saying women on first offense, would not have their hands cut off, but would have the state put them into an arrange marriage.  The policy was been adopted, but a second problem emerged, at time, there are women who ended up with abusive partner and the church's doesn't allow divorce.  Because the church felt, the husband is suppose to be the head of the household, they don't do anything to discourage violence towards women, other than preaching against it in mass, feeling government interference, would undermine the man's status as head of the household.  And according to the law of the church, those who abandon their husband, would be thrown into slave labor camp for three years, till been returned to him.  Men whom face abusive women, need to no worry in this society, the church's law empower husband as head of the household to put their wife in line.  So, while facing an abusive wife, the husband can easily put her in line by slapping her around and consider men are already twice stronger than women, it is not difficult for any man to show an abusive woman who is boss, with the backing of the state.  In society outside the Catholic church, it is the fact, people tend to sympathize with women and it is hard to argue self defense against women, especially in domestic violence that make it harder for men to deal with abusive women, in this society, with the backing of the law, the men have no need to worry about this sort of social prejudice.  It is one of the few minor perk, of this society.  But under the law of the Catholic Republic of Australia, the wife is suppose to obey and serve her husband and considering the husband has the legal right to do whatever he think fit, to put keep his wife in line and men are so much stronger, abusive men easily misuse their biological advantages and state given legal right and protection and there is nothing the woman or anybody else can do.  The law dictate no person can interfere with a husband putting his wife in line or they would be thrown in slave labor camp for three years.  After hearing the third case of women getting beaten to death by abusive partners and the court found the husband not guilty for murder, on the ground it was manslaughter while the husband is trying to put his wife in line, within a single year, David finally decided, to risk it all, and lobby for women's right to work.  And just as he expected, David got excommunicate from the church and now, it is likely become a target for the secret police.   
David kept praying, outside he heard sound of people surrounding his house.  He know it is the secret police. 
"Lord, please give me strength." David said 
Finally, the front door and back door of his home was been broken down, police wearing full body armor charged into David's home and converged on David's location.  A group of police officers all pointing semi automatic rifles at David. 
"Get up." A voice emerged from behind, it was another priest. 
"You dare interfere with another man's time with god?" David said, still kneeling in front of that same cross of Jesus.   
"You are just stalling." The other priest said 
"That is between me and god." David reply 
The other priest knell down next to David, facing the cross. 
"Holy father, please forgive me for what I am about to do.  I have no choice." That other priest said and then he stood up "Take him down." 
The cops started beating David.  David fell to the ground, as the police continue to assault him.  Finally, the cops cuffed him, there was clear signs of been brutally assaulted, on David's face, he could no longer stand on his own two feet.  The cops dragged David out of his home and throw him into the back of a police van.  Then, they drove to the harbor and dragged David out of the police van.  The cops cuffed David's hand cuff to a chain that is cuffed to a giant rock. 
"The church want to keep the court out of this.  They don't want anybody to have chance to make a martyr out of you.  They want you to be nothing but another missing person case." The priest said, then he nodded. 
The cops throw the big rock into water, which dragged the chain and then David into the water.  Unable to break free, David drowned to death at the bottom of the harbor.
