Gage Milligan
“Hey Kyle y’know that thing we’ve been planning? We’re doing it now. We split up to get as much as we can. Watch yourself a… morelright?” Gage said.
“Yeah yeah.” Kyle said with his two garbage bags, and backpack slung over shoulder.
“Then get moving.” Gage said as they both ran off into the night. Gage broke into over fifty houses in an hour scavenging all he could. With the advanced techniques and stealth that he had, he managed to slip past without getting caught. On his 71st house however, there was a man pointing a gun at him, as he was about to jump out of the window.
“Drop it all now.” He said.
“I can’t.” Gage said and he jumped.
He felt the bullet pass through his shoulder. “FUCK!” He said as he hit the ground and the pain in his shoulder increased. The man began shooting out the window though his shots missed. Gage kept on running, making a break for the spot. He hoped Kyle had better luck; Gage had only got … [view original content]
“Ladies and gentleman a horror has struck the city! Clement High has been well uh. Hijacked! The children inside are trapped, and if anybody tries to get in then they will shoot them. Authorities are working to find a way inside. They also have a captive on the roof that has been revealed to be Ashley Sanders, they have her under close watch so nobody can get in or out without something happening to Ashley.”
Naylene moves a bit further away as the cops begin to notice them. “Ashley’s mother Elizabeth has been found in a car accident, chances are she may not be alive. There have been rumors that maybe it was the robbers that kidnapped Max and Warren. There have also been reports of missing food, guns, and medical supplies missing from some houses. Hopefully the children will be saved and return home safely. This is Naylene Davies signing off.”
Warren Davis
They were sitting in Warren’s car eating some hamburgers. “You’re not going to believe this. You know the break in’s that happened last night? Well one of the guys came to my house and I got a shot at him but he’s still alive. I saw a picture of Gage, and it’s the same guy. I think I pinned down where he lives.” Warren said.
The car stopped in front of a little run down house that seemed a bit unkempt and shabby. “Stay in here just incase things go sideways.” Warren says leaving the keys in and getting out of the car with his gun at his side.” He approaches to the door and knocks. Nobody answers the door as Warren waits for minutes that seemed to turn into hours. Warren moves to the windows and looks inside an empty room.
He pulls up an open window and goes inside. The room smells like smoke, and the floor is messy. He searches around but can’t find anything except… The drugs from the deal. He confiscates it and puts it in a small bag. There are no clues as to where they might have gone. He leaves the house and gets back in the car. “Find anything?” Max asks.
“Not really.” Warren replies, and he starts the engine moving along to where Jared said to meet him once they found anything. “Hey see that guy in the parking lot with the red car?” Max said. Warren found it but was confused. “Yeah why?”
“He’s been following us ever since we left Gage’s house. And he drives pretty aggressively like he’s going to do something to us. I suggest we drive through the woods over there and maybe we can lose him.”
“Let’s do it.” Warren replies turning onto the small forest trail. The man behind them tosses a cigarette out the window and bursts after them.
“Go go go go! He’s right on our tail!” Max urges.
Warren floors it. He maneuvers through the narrow trail with ease. Max is speechless; glad his friend can drive this good. Warren had a lot of experience on the chasing side when criminals tried to do the same thing. The guy chasing them seemed to have a lot of experience as well.
There was obviously no shaking this guy off, but Warren was sure there was this one narrow path that the man could not get through. Was it worth the risk?
[Risk crashing to escape the pursuer]
[Don’t take the risk and continue down the regular path]
[Stop the car and surrender.]

Jared Anderson(Not related to Max)
“Tell me what you know! Why did you run? I need answers. NOW!” Jared yelled at the guy in the leather jacket in the chair. He was tied up, and he had a smirk on his face.
“I told you already. It wasn’t me.” He said once again trying to escape the chair.
“Why so smug? You seem like you have something to hide, and if you were innocent you wouldn’t have run from me.” Jared said pressing a finger against his shirt and pushing him backwards. The chair fell and the man was on his back. Jared pulled it up again and stomped on his foot. “There are so many children’s lives at risk. You need to co-operate. We can do this the easy way or the hard way, and so far you seem to like the hard way.” Jared said.
“What do you want me to tell you? That it was me and my gang trying to cause chaos? That just because I was caught in the crossfire down in New Mexico that I somehow have something to do with this? I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, simple as that. I know nothing. So go ahead and beat me.” He spits. “You’re only wasting your own time.”
Jared leaves the room and slams the door. Maybe he didn’t know anything but he was important. There was something about him that had something to do with this it just had to. “Enough Jared.” His colleague said from the shadows. “The CIA is unimpressed with your leads, and it is obvious that this man is not guilty. The higher ups are giving you a break this time. Go on a vacation or something, just relax.” He says stepping into the light.
“I’m so close. I can feel it. Just give me one more chance. I have one more lead.” Jared told him.
“Very well, but if it goes sour, your off the case.” He says, and leaves. Jared leaves to the spot where he would meet Max and Warren. He would leave Otto in custody just in case.

Warren hits the break and Max glares at him. “Do you really want to get caught again?”
“It will only be worse if we keep running.” Warren replied and exited the car. Max sighs and exits as well. The man in the other car steps out of his, and walks toward them with a gun in his hand. He points it at Warren’s head. “Why did you run? What are you doing?” He asks. Warren puts his hands up, and Max does as well. Max speaks.
“We didn’t know if you were friendly, could never be too careful these days. What do you want? Who are you?” Max said now crossing his arms.
“My name is Juan, but you can call me Gael. I had a lead that you two were the last known people to have contacted Rodrigo Velasquez. Do you know anything? Because right now you’re looking pretty suspicious.”
Max was about to make up a lie but Warren went out and told the truth. He told him everything, about all their plans, and what they had done. Gael looked disappointed like he had failed, but he was thankful for the honesty. “Okay. You guys seem okay. But I’m watching you. Stay safe, and stay away from the case, leave it to the professionals.” Gael said getting into his car and driving away.
“That was a close one.” Max said.
“I’ve had enough of those. Do you really think we should drop the case? Something’s really wrong here but we’ve had so many close-calls that I’m not even sure we should continue.” Warren said.
We need to figure this out. Let’s keep looking for Gage.
Gael is right; we shouldn’t get into any more trouble.
Desmond Shepard
After the body dropped everyone screamed. It was chaos. Everyone was scrambling around. People were running most towards the exit but it remained locked. One guy dropped down onto the stage and stabbed a kid trying to escape. It was crazy… Nobody tried to exit anymore. A few guys had teamed up on the guy with the knife, but then someone else dropped down and shot one of them. That got everyone out of the room.
Desmond was already walking through the halls and people were fighting for food, or because they had hated that person. People were looking for weapons, some just cried against the wall. The majority was banging on the main door, yelling for help. That cued the gun guy and he started shooting people again.
Desmond ran down one hall and took a bunch of turns until he didn’t know where he was anymore. It was total darkness. “What sick people are doing this…” He said to himself.
That was the first day.
It has been a week. The school became more and more empty. Escape meant death. Even climbing out the window you would get shot in the back from the roof. It was survival of the fittest. People soon began to starve, crying out for food. Sometimes one of the killers would swoop by and end their pain. Some people formed groups and fought other groups for food. The cafeteria, and every locker had been ransacked. Desmond was the first to get to the cafeteria and managed to roll a cart of food in the chaos. He had the help of a girl named Tammy, and another guy named Jay.
They holed up in one of the classrooms and rationed their food carefully. Jay was the one that went on runs but he never talked, and Tammy was the one that kept everyone’s hopes up. By now all the windows and doors had been boarded, and no attempt had been made to stop them. Why were the cops not doing anything?!
Tammy hugged him. “It will all be okay soon. Trust me.”
“I hope so.” Desmond replied.
Gareth Kirstein
He was holding a knife in his hand. It was covered in blood. It took him a second to realize what he had done. He dropped it and ran down the hall. What did he do? He went into the janitor closet and closed the door. He crumbled against the wall…
[We need to figure this out, Let's keep looking for Gage]
I don't think Max would stop, plus he wouldn't appreciate someone giving him advice if he really thinks he's better than everyone else :P
Anyway good chapter, the guy following them was who I thought it was, I'm not sure why I wanted to shoot him, but surviving in an isolated school, seems interesting, not sure why but it reminded me of Helix and the second Paintball episode from Community...
Max Anderson

Warren hits the break and Max glares at him. “Do you really want to get caught again?”
“I… moret will only be worse if we keep running.” Warren replied and exited the car. Max sighs and exits as well.

“We need to figure this out. Let’s keep looking for Gage, he should be somewhere in this forest. It would be very convenient for him.” Max said.
“I don’t know Max. It’s just… We’ve been on this case for a while and we haven’t gotten anything but trouble, do you really think we should keep going?” Warren replied.
“Yes.” Max finished. Warren seemed to give in and they continued the journey on foot, trekking through the forest that was bigger then they had expected. Squirrels ran through the trees, and they saw a variety of different animals that scurried away when they saw them. There was no sign of human passage but Max thought that Gage covered his tracks.
He found a piece of scrap from something, and he continued they were getting closer. They approached a big treehouse that could have been used as a house. There was a motorcycle parked beside it, and there was a ladder at the top. Max stepped forward but a rope got triggered and he was pulled upside down under the tree. Warren sprung at the perpetrator that ran up the ladder swiftly.
The perpetrator who was assumingly Gage Milligan threw a metal box at him, which crushed his arm, and he fell to the ground. “Damn it Max!” Warren yelled in pain.
The assumed Gage with a mask over his head had a gun to Warren’s face and fired. “NO!” Max yelled in terror. Then he walked towards Max and laughed. Pointing the gun to him he pulled the mask off. It was Gage, of course. “Sometimes, you need to stay out of other people’s business. I thought you would give up but evidently not.” Gage said.
Before he could shoot someone shot Gage through the head covering Max’s face in blood. “Jesus….” He said to himself.
Someone walked towards him. It was Gael. He looked at Warren and knelt there for a bit. He closed Warren’s eyes, got up and cut Max down. “I warned you… I warned you…” Gael said rubbing his forehead.
“I’m so sorry… I…” Max stops and starts crying again.
“Let’s go. We still have to save those kids.” Gael says turning his back on him.
Cory
Forced to kill, forced to watch, forced to survive. He had no control anymore. It was all a blur, a flow of people and darkness that pulled Cory into it. He had no choice. He had to kill to survive. There was no other way. Maybe the captors would release whoever was left because they were strong, if you didn’t make it out you were weak. After the first week, Hope gave up on Cory and disappeared one day.
Cory found him a couple days later, with no harm done to him. He must have starved like the rest of them… But that night he never cried, Hope was weak, too compassionate and kind, those kinds of people just couldn’t live at this time. There are two kinds of people. The weak and the strong, and Hope was unfortunately one of the weak. The strong did what was necessary to make it.
Sometimes he regretted everything but he picked himself up. He couldn’t share with others so he was a lone wolf. He needed a bit more water so he made his way to the water fountain where they luckily still had water. He filled up a few bottles and made his way back to the place where he lived.
Inside there was a spiky haired kid digging into his food box, and he was chowing down on a good bunch of it. Cory kicked him off. “Hey that’s my stuff!!!” He yelled.
“So sorry… So hungry…” The boy said swallowing whatever he had in his mouse.
Cory grabbed him by neck and pushed him against the wall. “Who are you and what do you think you’re doing?”
“Gareth… I’m hungry…. So hungry…” He said looking like he was about to cry.
Cory punched him in the face a couple times and threw him onto the floor. Then the PA turned on. “Freedom day is today. Main exit. You have one minute.” He said.
Cory ran past Gareth towards the doors. It was a winding path of twists, and descents but he made it to the main exit. He would finally be free…
She hadn’t seen Jaylen in a while. She was supposed to be watching all the dusters by most of them were gone. The only ones left were herself, Ariel, and Kyle. Jaylen and Gage had disappeared, and Otto was gone. Kyle then left to look for Gage. Faith and Ariel just hung out at the usual spot.
“I can’t believe Jaylen just disappeared. It’s only us two left. What happened?” Faith seemed to say to her self.
“It all started when Otto left, then when that school business happened everyone disappeared, we know they’re not in there… We’ll just have to wait and hope.”
“They could be dead… What are we going to do after all this? Just go back to normal. Things won’t ever be the same.”
Ariel slapped her. “Get yourself together, you’re losing it, and I don’t want to leave too. So just shut up about it and let’s just grab something to eat.” Ariel said picking her up and walking together to the nearest fast food restaurant. Faith got a hamburger, and Ariel had some chicken. “So… Do you like anybody?” Faith said smiling.
“Are you seriously asking a stupid question like that at a stupid time like this?” She said shaking her head laughing. “No I don’t but it looks like you and Jaylen have a thing.” She replied.
Faith blushed. “I saw you with the new guy a couple days ago…” She said.
Ariel looked up at her with a dirty look. “That was nothing. And anyway he could be dead right now.” Ariel said.
They were silent for a bit, and Ariel got up. “I’m sorry. I probably just need to get some sleep. See you tomorrow I guess.” She said getting up dumping her trash and headed for home. Faith followed her. She knew it was kind of rude, but she had to do her job, if there was anything wrong about Ariel she would have to report back to Jared.
At one point Ariel stopped and she was staring at the school. One of the people was threatening to kill the little girl if anyone moved. A woman in a suit was crying out, she was calling out Ashley.
The guy holding the girl yelled out. “I want one billion dollars. Or else I drop her!”
“It’s not that easy kid!” A cop yelled out.
“I’m giving you 24 hours. Failure to comply will result in her death. It’s on you.” Came the reply.
Jared Anderson
24 Hours Later
“We have the money! We’ll drop it by helicopter. Just don’t hurt her!” Jared yelled.
The boy held the girl with a gun to her head observing his surroundings. The helicopter dropped a few duffel bags filled with money. The school doors opened and the boy let the girl go. After a minute, him and a friend make a run for it. The helicopter picks up the hostages on the roof. People emerge from the school…
Desmond Shepard
Him, Tammy and Jay run for the exit. The door is open. Others appear. One-girl trips over a body, screams and makes for the exit. One boy is already dashing for the exit, with a taller boy behind him. The trio goes as well. They make it outside they’re free.
Melvin Sanders
“FUCK! They’re chasing us!! We need to get there!” Melvin said throwing his mask down seeing no point in hiding.
Jay pulls off his mask and swears a lot. “This was so stupid…” He said bumping into Melvin. Jay had a bag with a body in it on his shoulder, they had a hostage just in case, and she was crying. The police sirens went off behind them, and helicopter searchlights were shining through the forest as they ran for their lives. Search dogs began barking from far off. They saw the spot, but a dead Gage on the ground. “Oh no… He’s dead.” Jay said.
“Fuck! We need to get out of here. They’re going to find us!” Melvin said.
Melvin, and Jay get in Gage’s car. “Keys?” Melvin asked.
Jay got out of the car and searched Gage’s body. “I got it! Let’s—“ He gets shot in the leg and he falls down.
Melvin shoots himself in the head.
Naylene Davies
“Many children have been deceased in the school. May their souls rest in peace. Some have made it out alive, and police have found both culprits. One of them being Melvin Sanders, 13, who committed suicide and his brother Jay Sanders 19 who has been sentenced a lifetime in jail. The leader of a gang called the Dusters has been sentenced for 10 years in jail, and some of his members, Jaylen and Kyle are missing. Authorities are working to find them. Special thanks to CIA’s Jared Anderson who won an award for success, and Detective Juan Gael Santos who lost his partner Kari Lynette, and received many awards for his work. This is Naylene signing off.”
Faith
When she got home there was a small box waiting for her, addressed to her. She brought it inside and before reading the note attached she looked inside. It was filled with money. She ripped open the letter and read it.
Dearest Faith,
I’m so… So sorry. It brings me to tears to even write this but I have to leave. This is for you. I was never good with words, but could you say goodbye to my family for me, and give them some of the money? I love you. Until we meet again.

“We are live!”
“Ladies and gentleman a horror has struck the city! Clement High has been well uh. Hijacked! The children inside are trapped, and if anybody tries to get in then they will shoot them. Authorities are working to find a way inside. They also have a captive on the roof that has been revealed to be Ashley Sanders, they have her under close watch so nobody can get in or out without something happening to Ashley.”
Naylene moves a bit further away as the cops begin to notice them. “Ashley’s mother Elizabeth has been found in a car accident, chances are she may not be alive. There have been rumors that maybe it was the robbers that kidnapped Max and Warren. There have also been reports of missing food, guns, and medical supplies missing from some houses. Hopefully the children will be saved and return home safely. This is Naylene Davies signing off.”
Warren Davis
They were sitting in Warren’s car eating some hamburgers. “You’re not going to believe this. You know the break in’s that happened last night? Well one of the guys came to my house and I got a shot at him but he’s still alive. I saw a picture of Gage, and it’s the same guy. I think I pinned down where he lives.” Warren said.
The car stopped in front of a little run down house that seemed a bit unkempt and shabby. “Stay in here just incase things go sideways.” Warren says leaving the keys in and getting out of the car with his gun at his side.” He approaches to the door and knocks. Nobody answers the door as Warren waits for minutes that seemed to turn into hours. Warren moves to the windows and looks inside an empty room.
He pulls up an open window and goes inside. The room smells like smoke, and the floor is messy. He searches around but can’t find anything except… The drugs from the deal. He confiscates it and puts it in a small bag. There are no clues as to where they might have gone. He leaves the house and gets back in the car. “Find anything?” Max asks.
“Not really.” Warren replies, and he starts the engine moving along to where Jared said to meet him once they found anything. “Hey see that guy in the parking lot with the red car?” Max said. Warren found it but was confused. “Yeah why?”
“He’s been following us ever since we left Gage’s house. And he drives pretty aggressively like he’s going to do something to us. I suggest we drive through the woods over there and maybe we can lose him.”
“Let’s do it.” Warren replies turning onto the small forest trail. The man behind them tosses a cigarette out the window and bursts after them.
“Go go go go! He’s right on our tail!” Max urges.
Warren floors it. He maneuvers through the narrow trail with ease. Max is speechless; glad his friend can drive this good. Warren had a lot of experience on the chasing side when criminals tried to do the same thing. The guy chasing them seemed to have a lot of experience as well.
There was obviously no shaking this guy off, but Warren was sure there was this one narrow path that the man could not get through. Was it worth the risk?
[Risk crashing to escape the pursuer]
[Don’t take the risk and continue down the regular path]
[Stop the car and surrender.]
[Take regular path and suggest Max shoot]
Jared Anderson(Not related to Max)
“Tell me what you know! Why did you run? I need answers. NOW!” Jared yelled at the guy in the leather jacket in the chair. He was tied up, and he had a smirk on his face.
“I told you already. It wasn’t me.” He said once again trying to escape the chair.
“Why so smug? You seem like you have something to hide, and if you were innocent you wouldn’t have run from me.” Jared said pressing a finger against his shirt and pushing him backwards. The chair fell and the man was on his back. Jared pulled it up again and stomped on his foot. “There are so many children’s lives at risk. You need to co-operate. We can do this the easy way or the hard way, and so far you seem to like the hard way.” Jared said.
“What do you want me to tell you? That it was me and my gang trying to cause chaos? That just because I was caught in the crossfire down in New Mexico that I somehow have something to do with this? I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, simple as that. I know nothing. So go ahead and beat me.” He spits. “You’re only wasting your own time.”
Jared leaves the room and slams the door. Maybe he didn’t know anything but he was important. There was something about him that had something to do with this it just had to. “Enough Jared.” His colleague said from the shadows. “The CIA is unimpressed with your leads, and it is obvious that this man is not guilty. The higher ups are giving you a break this time. Go on a vacation or something, just relax.” He says stepping into the light.
“I’m so close. I can feel it. Just give me one more chance. I have one more lead.” Jared told him.
“Very well, but if it goes sour, your off the case.” He says, and leaves. Jared leaves to the spot where he would meet Max and Warren. He would leave Otto in custody just in case.
lol i meant for faith to be jaylens sister but a lover could work too lol doesn't really matter to me :P

Awesome chapter!!!! [Stop the car and surrender]
[Stop the car and surrender.]

Max Anderson
[Stop the car and surrender]
Warren hits the break and Max glares at him. “Do you really want to get caught again?”
“It will only be worse if we keep running.” Warren replied and exited the car. Max sighs and exits as well. The man in the other car steps out of his, and walks toward them with a gun in his hand. He points it at Warren’s head. “Why did you run? What are you doing?” He asks. Warren puts his hands up, and Max does as well. Max speaks.
“We didn’t know if you were friendly, could never be too careful these days. What do you want? Who are you?” Max said now crossing his arms.
“My name is Juan, but you can call me Gael. I had a lead that you two were the last known people to have contacted Rodrigo Velasquez. Do you know anything? Because right now you’re looking pretty suspicious.”
Max was about to make up a lie but Warren went out and told the truth. He told him everything, about all their plans, and what they had done. Gael looked disappointed like he had failed, but he was thankful for the honesty. “Okay. You guys seem okay. But I’m watching you. Stay safe, and stay away from the case, leave it to the professionals.” Gael said getting into his car and driving away.
“That was a close one.” Max said.
“I’ve had enough of those. Do you really think we should drop the case? Something’s really wrong here but we’ve had so many close-calls that I’m not even sure we should continue.” Warren said.
We need to figure this out. Let’s keep looking for Gage.
Gael is right; we shouldn’t get into any more trouble.
Desmond Shepard
After the body dropped everyone screamed. It was chaos. Everyone was scrambling around. People were running most towards the exit but it remained locked. One guy dropped down onto the stage and stabbed a kid trying to escape. It was crazy… Nobody tried to exit anymore. A few guys had teamed up on the guy with the knife, but then someone else dropped down and shot one of them. That got everyone out of the room.
Desmond was already walking through the halls and people were fighting for food, or because they had hated that person. People were looking for weapons, some just cried against the wall. The majority was banging on the main door, yelling for help. That cued the gun guy and he started shooting people again.
Desmond ran down one hall and took a bunch of turns until he didn’t know where he was anymore. It was total darkness. “What sick people are doing this…” He said to himself.
That was the first day.
It has been a week. The school became more and more empty. Escape meant death. Even climbing out the window you would get shot in the back from the roof. It was survival of the fittest. People soon began to starve, crying out for food. Sometimes one of the killers would swoop by and end their pain. Some people formed groups and fought other groups for food. The cafeteria, and every locker had been ransacked. Desmond was the first to get to the cafeteria and managed to roll a cart of food in the chaos. He had the help of a girl named Tammy, and another guy named Jay.
They holed up in one of the classrooms and rationed their food carefully. Jay was the one that went on runs but he never talked, and Tammy was the one that kept everyone’s hopes up. By now all the windows and doors had been boarded, and no attempt had been made to stop them. Why were the cops not doing anything?!
Tammy hugged him. “It will all be okay soon. Trust me.”
“I hope so.” Desmond replied.
Gareth Kirstein
He was holding a knife in his hand. It was covered in blood. It took him a second to realize what he had done. He dropped it and ran down the hall. What did he do? He went into the janitor closet and closed the door. He crumbled against the wall…
[We need to figure this out, Let's keep looking for Gage]
I don't think Max would stop, plus he wouldn't appreciate someone giving him advice if he really thinks he's better than everyone else :P
Anyway good chapter, the guy following them was who I thought it was, I'm not sure why I wanted to shoot him, but surviving in an isolated school, seems interesting, not sure why but it reminded me of Helix and the second Paintball episode from Community...
[ Gael is right; we shouldn’t get into any more trouble.]
Awesome chapter!
We need to figure this out. Let’s keep looking for Gage.

Cool, Take your time
We need to figure this out. Let’s keep looking for Gage.
Excellent chapter!!!!!!
Max Anderson
“We need to figure this out. Let’s keep looking for Gage, he should be somewhere in this forest. It would be very convenient for him.” Max said.
“I don’t know Max. It’s just… We’ve been on this case for a while and we haven’t gotten anything but trouble, do you really think we should keep going?” Warren replied.
“Yes.” Max finished. Warren seemed to give in and they continued the journey on foot, trekking through the forest that was bigger then they had expected. Squirrels ran through the trees, and they saw a variety of different animals that scurried away when they saw them. There was no sign of human passage but Max thought that Gage covered his tracks.
He found a piece of scrap from something, and he continued they were getting closer. They approached a big treehouse that could have been used as a house. There was a motorcycle parked beside it, and there was a ladder at the top. Max stepped forward but a rope got triggered and he was pulled upside down under the tree. Warren sprung at the perpetrator that ran up the ladder swiftly.
The perpetrator who was assumingly Gage Milligan threw a metal box at him, which crushed his arm, and he fell to the ground. “Damn it Max!” Warren yelled in pain.
The assumed Gage with a mask over his head had a gun to Warren’s face and fired. “NO!” Max yelled in terror. Then he walked towards Max and laughed. Pointing the gun to him he pulled the mask off. It was Gage, of course. “Sometimes, you need to stay out of other people’s business. I thought you would give up but evidently not.” Gage said.
Before he could shoot someone shot Gage through the head covering Max’s face in blood. “Jesus….” He said to himself.
Someone walked towards him. It was Gael. He looked at Warren and knelt there for a bit. He closed Warren’s eyes, got up and cut Max down. “I warned you… I warned you…” Gael said rubbing his forehead.
“I’m so sorry… I…” Max stops and starts crying again.
“Let’s go. We still have to save those kids.” Gael says turning his back on him.
Cory
Forced to kill, forced to watch, forced to survive. He had no control anymore. It was all a blur, a flow of people and darkness that pulled Cory into it. He had no choice. He had to kill to survive. There was no other way. Maybe the captors would release whoever was left because they were strong, if you didn’t make it out you were weak. After the first week, Hope gave up on Cory and disappeared one day.
Cory found him a couple days later, with no harm done to him. He must have starved like the rest of them… But that night he never cried, Hope was weak, too compassionate and kind, those kinds of people just couldn’t live at this time. There are two kinds of people. The weak and the strong, and Hope was unfortunately one of the weak. The strong did what was necessary to make it.
Sometimes he regretted everything but he picked himself up. He couldn’t share with others so he was a lone wolf. He needed a bit more water so he made his way to the water fountain where they luckily still had water. He filled up a few bottles and made his way back to the place where he lived.
Inside there was a spiky haired kid digging into his food box, and he was chowing down on a good bunch of it. Cory kicked him off. “Hey that’s my stuff!!!” He yelled.
“So sorry… So hungry…” The boy said swallowing whatever he had in his mouse.
Cory grabbed him by neck and pushed him against the wall. “Who are you and what do you think you’re doing?”
“Gareth… I’m hungry…. So hungry…” He said looking like he was about to cry.
Cory punched him in the face a couple times and threw him onto the floor. Then the PA turned on. “Freedom day is today. Main exit. You have one minute.” He said.
Cory ran past Gareth towards the doors. It was a winding path of twists, and descents but he made it to the main exit. He would finally be free…
Almost finished this! Maybe one or two more parts.
Faith
She hadn’t seen Jaylen in a while. She was supposed to be watching all the dusters by most of them were gone. The only ones left were herself, Ariel, and Kyle. Jaylen and Gage had disappeared, and Otto was gone. Kyle then left to look for Gage. Faith and Ariel just hung out at the usual spot.
“I can’t believe Jaylen just disappeared. It’s only us two left. What happened?” Faith seemed to say to her self.
“It all started when Otto left, then when that school business happened everyone disappeared, we know they’re not in there… We’ll just have to wait and hope.”
“They could be dead… What are we going to do after all this? Just go back to normal. Things won’t ever be the same.”
Ariel slapped her. “Get yourself together, you’re losing it, and I don’t want to leave too. So just shut up about it and let’s just grab something to eat.” Ariel said picking her up and walking together to the nearest fast food restaurant. Faith got a hamburger, and Ariel had some chicken. “So… Do you like anybody?” Faith said smiling.
“Are you seriously asking a stupid question like that at a stupid time like this?” She said shaking her head laughing. “No I don’t but it looks like you and Jaylen have a thing.” She replied.
Faith blushed. “I saw you with the new guy a couple days ago…” She said.
Ariel looked up at her with a dirty look. “That was nothing. And anyway he could be dead right now.” Ariel said.
They were silent for a bit, and Ariel got up. “I’m sorry. I probably just need to get some sleep. See you tomorrow I guess.” She said getting up dumping her trash and headed for home. Faith followed her. She knew it was kind of rude, but she had to do her job, if there was anything wrong about Ariel she would have to report back to Jared.
At one point Ariel stopped and she was staring at the school. One of the people was threatening to kill the little girl if anyone moved. A woman in a suit was crying out, she was calling out Ashley.
The guy holding the girl yelled out. “I want one billion dollars. Or else I drop her!”
“It’s not that easy kid!” A cop yelled out.
“I’m giving you 24 hours. Failure to comply will result in her death. It’s on you.” Came the reply.
Jared Anderson
24 Hours Later
“We have the money! We’ll drop it by helicopter. Just don’t hurt her!” Jared yelled.
The boy held the girl with a gun to her head observing his surroundings. The helicopter dropped a few duffel bags filled with money. The school doors opened and the boy let the girl go. After a minute, him and a friend make a run for it. The helicopter picks up the hostages on the roof. People emerge from the school…
Desmond Shepard
Him, Tammy and Jay run for the exit. The door is open. Others appear. One-girl trips over a body, screams and makes for the exit. One boy is already dashing for the exit, with a taller boy behind him. The trio goes as well. They make it outside they’re free.
Melvin Sanders
“FUCK! They’re chasing us!! We need to get there!” Melvin said throwing his mask down seeing no point in hiding.
Jay pulls off his mask and swears a lot. “This was so stupid…” He said bumping into Melvin. Jay had a bag with a body in it on his shoulder, they had a hostage just in case, and she was crying. The police sirens went off behind them, and helicopter searchlights were shining through the forest as they ran for their lives. Search dogs began barking from far off. They saw the spot, but a dead Gage on the ground. “Oh no… He’s dead.” Jay said.
“Fuck! We need to get out of here. They’re going to find us!” Melvin said.
Melvin, and Jay get in Gage’s car. “Keys?” Melvin asked.
Jay got out of the car and searched Gage’s body. “I got it! Let’s—“ He gets shot in the leg and he falls down.
Melvin shoots himself in the head.
Naylene Davies
“Many children have been deceased in the school. May their souls rest in peace. Some have made it out alive, and police have found both culprits. One of them being Melvin Sanders, 13, who committed suicide and his brother Jay Sanders 19 who has been sentenced a lifetime in jail. The leader of a gang called the Dusters has been sentenced for 10 years in jail, and some of his members, Jaylen and Kyle are missing. Authorities are working to find them. Special thanks to CIA’s Jared Anderson who won an award for success, and Detective Juan Gael Santos who lost his partner Kari Lynette, and received many awards for his work. This is Naylene signing off.”
Faith
When she got home there was a small box waiting for her, addressed to her. She brought it inside and before reading the note attached she looked inside. It was filled with money. She ripped open the letter and read it.
Dearest Faith,
I’m so… So sorry. It brings me to tears to even write this but I have to leave. This is for you. I was never good with words, but could you say goodbye to my family for me, and give them some of the money? I love you. Until we meet again.
