Christopher, the local nerd, sat teaching Jess, Emma, and Lizzy basic algebra. I wonder how the hell he remembers it all.

Lizzy is innocent. She thinks the apocalypse will end soon and we'll all go back to our normal lives. It's hard to remember she's just a kid and doesn't know the real consequences.

Ash, our own personal basket case, was in her corner as usual. She barely ever talks.

Since Addison isn't a fan of my 'foul mouth' and Emma, Jess, Chris, and Lizzy are basically her goons, Dylan, Dan and I hang out with Delilah and Finn.

"How did you get shot, anyways?" Dan asked.

"I was in the car, we were driving to Canada. There were six people inside the car and two hiding in the cargo, under a tarp. We got jumped and the tarp wasn't tied all the way down. I managed to tie it but I got shot."

"Canada?"

"Ya. There are groups coming down from Canada to help get people out of the country."

"Aye!" A guard called in our direction. "C'mere."

I stood and walked to the bars.

"So you were with a Canadian group?" The guard whispered.

"Yes, why?"

"You can be trusted, then." He discreetly reached out his hand to shake mine. "My name's Joe. I'll be your personal rescuer today."

I shook his hand, shocked.

"I'll talk to you about this later. All of you will be out in the next two days."

Joe took out a walkie talkie and changed the station.

"Officer 3014 reporting. I have 12 604s at facility 27. I need an immediate extraction."

I didn't understand anything he was saying, but I smiled.

"Have you heard anything about a fight south of here?" I asked.

"There's a lot of south from here."

"They chased down a cargo car to a house and there was a shoot out."

"Oh, that one. The group retreated into the house and they couldn't find them."

I grinned and thanked him.

"No problem, three cars will be here in a minimum of 5 days. Try to keep it to the older people. The kids might give it away."

I already had a plan forming in my head.

I told Dan, Dylan, and Addison.

Dylan can control the little kids. Addison can control the 'Tweens'. And I trust Dan.

I thought it was fool proof.
