The Lost Kids (Book 2)

Chapter 6

*Leigh*
"There." The guy pointed down into a sea of forest.

"How are we ever gonna find them? They could be anywhere."

"It's the 21st century. There is such things as technology." He said. I looked down again.

"I'm picking up something."

"Jack?"

"Yeah, hold on."

*Jack G*
I walked away but I really shouldn't have. I stopped and turned back to Jack who was sitting on the hill, still looking at me. I sighed and walked back to him.

"Sorry."

"It's fine. We are in this together. We can't be pissed at each other." I nodded.

"Wait, what's that?" Jack pointed at a plane coming closer to us.

"I don't know." I watched as it landed a little away from us.

"Should we go look?" I asked.

"No. Wait a second. It could be anyone." We stood behind a tree. Jack peeked his head out.

"Holy shit. Jack look!" He had a smile on his face. I gave him a look and peeped my head out and saw a head of blonde hair being wheeled out of the wheelchair. I saw some guy help Leigh to stand.

"Shit dude, go!" Jack said giving me a nudge.

"Am I imagining this?" I asked him. He shook his head, grinning. I came out behind the tree.

"JACK!" Leigh yelled at me. I broke into a sprint. She tried to hop but stopped. Once I reached her, I picked her up and swung her around. She started crying.

"Thank god. Oh my god. I thought I lost you." I said with tears starting to come down my own face. She sobbed with her head pressed into my shoulder.

"They told me you died. All three of you." She said, her words muffled.

"I love you so much. Thank god. I thought you were gone." She leaned back and kissed me.

"I love you too." I let her down but neither of us let go of the other.

"Where is Jack?" She asked wiping her tears away.

"Hey Leigh." Jack came from around the plane smiling. She started to cry again and he hugged her super tight.

"Mallory?" Leigh asked once she let go.

"We don't know. Apparently she didn't get on the plane so she must be fine." Jack said.

"I was at the hospital and...Oh my god." Leigh said covering her mouth.

"What?" I asked.

"She was the girl in the room next to me! They had her in lockdown."

"Wait what? Why?" Jack asked.

"I...don't know. I'm sorry." Leigh said. Jack looked at me and I shrugged.
