After a minute we finally get to the alley where a man stands with a door behind him. As we are walking closer the man yells "hey don't take another step, we need to know who you guys are." All of us are confused besides Ace and Johnson being this isn't their first time doing this. Johnson walks up to him holding out his military ID card. The man nods his head and says "welcome back, it's been a while and people are worrying about you." The man opens the door and lets Johnson in. Ace walks up to the man and pulls up a card with something on it. The man looks at it for a minute then greets him inside. After Ace walks in the man just stares at us. "You two new here?" He says in a stern tone. Me and Sky both nod our heads and he lets out a big sigh. "Follow me, I'll get you in the system" he says opening the door. We both follow him with Sky following behind me. After walking in a hallway we reach what seems like a big room with two doors with the number one and two above the door. There's a lady sitting in a rolling chair behind a desk asleep. The man goes up to her and slams his fist on the desk freaking out the lady. "what is it? I was sleeping" she says in almost a yelling voice. "We got two new people, they need IDs" he says in a calm tone. The lady points at Sky and she almost jumps in fear. "Come sit down, I'm just going to ask some questions" the lady said trying not to scare Sky. She sits down and the lady starts to ask questions. "Name"? "Sky" "age?" "18" "height?" "5 feet" after that the lady writes some things down she pulls out a camera and takes a picture of her. She pulls out a card and writes some stuff down, puts a small picture on it then stamps on a card and hands it to Sky. After the lady hands Sky the card, she points at me and I sit down. "Name?" "Thomas" "age?" "23" "height?" "5 foot 7" after that she does the same thing and hands me my card. After that we leave that little room into a large place with food vendors and small little shops selling different things. We see Johnson and Ace at a stall with the words "sign language classes." We walk to them and they are talking in sign language and we wait patiently for them to finish. After a minute or so they stopped and greeted us. "We were just talking about so rumor about someone and we don't know if it's true or not" Ace says looking at Johnson. "Maybe I can help" Sky says smiling. They look at her and shake their heads. "I think Thomas will be able to help us" I look at them and shrug. "There was a guy looking for some things and people sent him to The New Capital, we don't have some stuff here but why on gods green earth would he travel that way?" Ace says scratching his head. I think for a minute and it hits me. What if the guy that went to New Capital was Logan?!? "Why is it a bad reason to go to The New Capital?" I ask trying to stay calm praying that it's not Logan out there. "There's a cult group, and for some reason they only sacrifice couples together and if only ones there they will send people to get the other person." He says. My heart drops as I think about this. "I'm going to look around for my friend, I'll be back" I say trying to hold back lmk ik and the panic in my voice. As I am walking away Sky starts to follow me. "Hey Thomas you ok?" She says in a worried tone. I nod my head even though that's a lie. She steps in front of me and she looks me dead in the eyes. For the second I'm still I start to cry worrying about Logan. Sky pulls me out of the walkway and just sits me down against the wall. I'm still crying and she sits next to me. "Hey we're find him, even if he's held by that cult" she says in a determined and cheerful tone. I look up at her and I see Nightmare jump onto me and lays in-between my legs. I start to calm down while petting him. "see, even he thinks we're hind him" she says in a happy sounding way. I laugh a little and continue petting the cat before we get up and start heading back to Ace and Johnson. As we get back we see them both playing chess. We stand by and watch them play chess as I'm petting Nightmare.
