Chapter 18 of book one in the dystopian saga by American author, Kawika Miles. With Rhett now apart of the Encampment, things turn for the worst as an unseen mole brings the wrath of Caspian down on the Raiders.

"Reflecting on the day of his first kills, Rhett can't help but connect them to the night he reluctantly held Kip on stage, allowing for Caspian to brutally murder the man under false pretenses. He also can't help but advocate for the opportunity to better the future of humankind. Rhett understands the sacrifices that must be made in order to bring to pass a greater good. That's not where the conflict within him lies. It comes from the subjective nature of "good." For years his parents--the Nine-- have defined it as "collective progression of their country." That collective pursuit under their definition completely disregards what is good for any individual--what is needed for a singular citizen. Kip...the reason for his death was a necessary lie to help propagate The Government's narrative n their ambitions to create their perfect, unified society."
