An Immoral Beginning

VIII: Being the hunted

"maybe I could let you stay there a little while longer..."

"Huh?! Huh? Oh, oh damn.." I woke up confused, I thought I heard someone, but no one's here and I'm in a room alone. Was that the last thing I heard before I blacked out, man I can't remember who said it but man I feel better already. I get up but a surprise gets me.

"Mike! You're awake now!"

"Shit! Tom, you scared me shitless!"

"Sorry, but hey you're up now! Come with me."

"Alright then, but what state are we in now?"

"I think we're in Arizona now, don't know what town though."

"Well alright then."

"Hey, let's get something to eat, I know you haven't a meal for a bit."

We head to where the food I suppose, I see John, Arthur and nick all sitting there, we join them.

"Hey guys" I say.

"Hey, are you holding well?" Nick asked

"Yeah, I'm doing alright. What have you and Arthur been up to?"

We talk away the minutes until the waiter comes and we order, once we are done we go on back to talking.

"Hey, by the way, what happened in the building before it crashed?" Nick asked.

"Well i had to fight for my life, I had to protect Henry and Penelope-"

"Hey! You better shut your mouth if your gonna lie"

"Am I though?"

"Whatever" Henry said back.

"Stop fighting, we need to stick as a team, nothing can't break us now. I have faith in you all, don't let it go to waste now." Said Arthur

"What about the fight with the worshipped lady?" Asked Tom.

"Oh that, yea she was crazy, I almost died if she didn't try to make me her servant."

"Damn, well it's good that you thought on your feet and made a counterattack."

"Hey, our foods here."

We ate and then left, a driver was waiting for us and we get in the car.

"Hey man, your very luck you know"

"Huh? Why is that"

"What?" You don't remember anything?"

"What happened?" I asked around the car.

"I don't know, me, Arthur and Henry fell asleep" answered Tom.

"Heh it's nothing, just a little secret."

We drove in Silence, what was the driver talking about? I suddenly got a notification from the assistant that Mr. Torvac has with him, it seems that everyone else has it too.

"Be on high alert, this area is a mass of kidnappings and many altercations, proceed with caution." The text message said.

"Huh? Mass of kidnappings?" I say confused

"Well, Arizona has unfortunately lost control of their police force. No one seems to be doing anything about it, they also have a crazy here." Tom said

"A crazy? Really that's what we're calling them?" John complained

"Would you prefer to call them a-"

"No, I think calling them a crazy is better."

"Anyways, the crazy here runs a good chunk of Arizona, many who have ran into the area, have no existence whatsoever. As if when they head into the area, when they die, everything that is proof of their existence is wiped."
