Elise smiled and said "Perhaps" she walked to dinner with a smile. Sitting down she ate her fill of the food before she helped Eliza clear the table for the meeting. Once it was empty, a few extra chairs were placed around it. An hour later, the members from other group across the city began to arrive.
The first to arrive was Alexander, who was from the other side of the city. He was older then Elise by at least 7 years. He used to be a teacher at a local school.
Next came Johnathan, he was also from Alexanders area. He was about the same age as Elise. He worked on a farm before the war. He managed to get out of being conscripted into the army.
After him was Andrea, she was from the south. She came from a rich well off family, but there house and belongings had been repossession by the Germans and her family killed.
David was next, also from the south. He had worked in a mechanic in the war. He had forever shamed him self by deserting and has since been trying to regain his honor.
Ezekiel was the last to arrive, coming from an area close to the river and German supply lines. Before the war he had been a baker. He always had interesting information on the Germans.
Soon they were all sitting around the table, each guest had brought one or two other members with them for safety. Once everyone was seated, the meeting began. It was not long before Stephen was brought into conversation. His uniform had gotten a few looks. It seemed Andrea was the only one brave enough to ask.
"By the way...It seemes we have a new member, who might you be?" she asked him, inhaling from a cigarette. The upper classes had always smoked, It seemed she had been unable to give up that habit.
