Isabella kneeled down as Phil ran into her opened arms.

Ray stood on top of the wall as he stared at the huge clouds of smoke that came from the House. He looked around.

"Where are the kids four and under?"

[Name] decided to answer since Emma had already explained everything to her, "Emma decided that we should leave them out here." Ray silently gasped.

Emma chimed in, "I thought about... what you said to me earlier... one more time." She struggled as she tightly held onto a piece of rope in order to help the kids climb up the wall.

"So far so good," Don began, "I got everyone down to age 5 on our side."

Gilda added, "They were pretty surprised, but I think things will be okay."

"We already started training them."

Emma spoke up from her bed in the infirmary, "Thanks you guys."

"So, what do we do next?" Don asked, "Should we... tell the kids under five?"

Emma looked down in doubt, "But do you think they'll believe us?"

"Well, it's more like can they keep it a secret."

"It's not just that either," Gilda spoke up, "Is it really possible to bring them with us?"

"Huh?"

"Don't get me wrong, it's not like I don't believe in Norman's plan. However we are dealing with a cliff in winter. And Norman's not here to help. Once we actually escape, we don't know what's out there. I'm starting to see Ray's point. Even though I know it may be a little late to feel that way."

"So you're saying..." Don asked Gilda.

"If we take them along, they could get killed."

"Gilda, if they stay here they're gonna get shipped out!"

"I know! I know that, but..." The olive-haired girl trailed off.

Emma smiled at the girl, "I can't bring myself to leave them. Ray's correct. So are you, Gilda. But... I don't want anyone else to get shipped out."

Don slouched and sighed, "Same here."

"I want to take everyone. We'll all run away."

Gilda mumbled, "Yeah but..."

"What's wrong?" Don interrogated.

"Well... um... what about the kids in the other plants?"
