JAVI POV

The new frontier just took David and I gotta find a way outta here.

I grab the pipe underneath the sink. I grab a stool and place it beneath the window, then climbs up. I smash the glass with the pipe and tries to break the grate off.

Gabe arrives at the window.

Gabe: I've been looking everywhere for you.

Javi: Gabe!

Gabe: Where'd they take Dad?

Javi: I don't know yet. Help me get outta here. These bars are loose. Help me pry them off.

Javi hands the pipe to Gabe and he tries to pry the grate off the window.

Gabe: I can't do it! Can you help?

Javi and Gabe manage to break off the bars.

Javi: Nice work, Gabe.

Javi: Now, give me a hand.

Gabe helps me climb out of the window and we run off.

Street

Javi: What's all that noise?

Gabe: It's a herd. They're outside the walls. This way. Come on.

Me and Gabe keep moving.

Gabe: Kate and Mari didn't want to stay at Dad's house.

Javi: Where are you taking me?

Gabe: Eleanor found a place. She sent me to find you. While they hide out.

Javi: Thank god for Eleanor. She's a lifesaver.

Gabe: She saved Kate and I'll never forget it. I was pretty scared.

Javi: Me too, buddy. Me too.

Javi: We should probably keep moving.

Me and Gabe keep moving.

Javi: I can't believe you found me.

Gabe: I looked everywhere.

Javi: Huh. Nice work... Thank you. They've still got your Dad, though.

Gabe: He's gonna be okay, right? I mean, these are his people. They're just arguing, aren't they? They wouldn't do anything to him...

Javi: He's going to fight them. No matter what.

Gabe: Hell yeah!

Javi: Let's just wait and see what happens.

Javi: All clear. Come on.

Me and Gabe keep moving.

Gabe: Kate keeps pushing us to leave. You have to make her stay. We have to stay until Dad's free. We can't leave Dad here. Not after we found him again.

Javi: I'll talk to her. I'll try to convince her.

Gabe: Good. It's important!

Some Frontier soldiers appear.

Javi: Hold up!

Me and Gabe hide.

Me and Gabe keep moving. We find some graves.

Gabe: Everything's gone wrong here, hasn't it? We should be safe in this town. You shouldn't be a prisoner!

Javi: We'll fix it for us, when we get your dad back and our family back together.

Gabe: Okay.

Me and Gabe reach an apartment building.

Gabe: That's Eleanor's place. We made it.
