I stand noticing only the boy returning. I had watched them leave earlier. Where the hell is Alex? I rushed downstairs and to the door. "Where the fuck is Alex?!" I yell at the boy as I step outside.
"That girl almost got me fucking killed!..." He yells back but then sighs, "She's at what's left of the shelter." he continues.

 I grabbed his arm and began walking. "Nope, you're coming too!" I say as I begin to drag him to her bomb shelter. "Alex?!" I look for her as we arrive. The boy huffs and shrugs out of my grip as he walks leading me to her. When I see Alex, I quickly run to her ."What the fuck happened here?!? Are you okay?!" I ask, checking her over for wounds.

 I only find small patches of burns and her hair singed. 

“I told him to make sure it was in. I only wanted-.” She quietly murmured while small tears fell from her dark green eyes. I sigh.
"C'mon.. Let's get you back home." I say softly as I help her off her knees. She sobs silently as I lead them both back. When we get back, the boy retreats to his friends. Mary Ann helps me clean Alex up and bandage her small burns. Afterwards, I help Alex to her room. "Lets not do anything like that anymore, okay?" I say.

She's still grieving over her storm shelter to care. I quietly shut the door and headed to the infirmary. Where Mary Ann is checking him for wounds.

 "Josh, you can't go around playing with explosives, what if there's no one there to help if it gets really bad?" She complains and worries. Josh? Really his name is Josh? I still don't like him.

 "It was kind of cool though… It seems the walking death trap can blow stuff up, that's all she ever does.. C'mon it was pretty cool! Why can’t I do that?" He says.

"Dear, she's a professional. Don't dream too big, you have much to learn." She answers quickly.

After seeing he's alright, I return to the roof. Silently I pace around. I grab my bow as I hear a few people nearby talking. Crouching near the edge I notice two men behind the dumpster making what looks like a Molotov cocktail. I recognize it because Alex and I used to make them in our spare time. We would just screw around with them and throw them at trash bins, shit like that. I quickly ran to Mary Ann."There's people outside, about to attack, we need to get everyone out of here!" I say quickly. She looks concerned "Get the-" she gets cut off as something flies through the window and everything around goes up in flames. I bolt to Alex's room.
"We need to go!  Now, hurry!" I yelled as I opened her door.
