Luca's Secrets of the Anarchists

Alexandre was stunned and scared. He'd never thought of doing something violent, and he'd certainly never handled a packet of explosives before. But luca had been friendly, and alexandre was only 17, new to anarchist circles. He desperately wanted to be useful. Later that night, alexandre stumbled out of the cafe, dizzy from the thrill of doing something forbidden. Under his jacket, he clutched the book and the packet that luca had given him. Then he went home and hid the objects in his bedroom. Marie never heard him home.
