Quisling.

I had painted many slogans

and had thrown a lot of rocks.

I was as underground

as you could get.

But I had never held a gun.



The fight was changing.

Not only did we fight the enemy,

but as the months went by

we had a bigger enemy.

The enemy within.



I hope I never repeat

or have to recall my feelings that night.

The meeting had been brought forward

and there were less than usual present.



The name that was mentioned that night

brought gasps of disbelief and protest.

A name that I knew well.

A name that would shame generations to come.



The truth was established

and I was handed a gun.

Everyone looked at me.

Our leaders words would haunt

me forever.

For at the beginning

he had opened with these words.



"Gentlemen, we have a rat,

but we have a solution".
