" But how are we going to get there?" Shayna asks.
" By boat, I suppose" Frank answers, this time looking at us.
" What?! I mean how are we supposed to do that Mr. Smarty Pants" I ask.
" I know how to drive a boat" Derek says behind us.
" Ok, but now we just gotta find a boat, did you think of that, Frank?" Shayna growls.
" Yes, yes I did, in fact there is one approximatley eight hundred metres away from us at this moment, I can sense tons of heated gas which means it was in use probably just before the attack, it is also fast enough and has enough gas to take us to Alcatraz." Frank finishes.
" I wish I had powers" Shayna grunted.
" Alright, lead the way" Derek allows Frank to take the lead. I pick up Smoky and we continue along the waterfront, muffled gunshots and explosions still sound from the now closer downtown San Francisco. I'm actually quite surprised at how fast these people took over Earth, I mean wow. The Triangle hovers over the city, sending down more ships full of gun shooting, sword wielding robots. The picture of the mother still emits in my head that night as we camp just off the water. I sleep beside Derek, his soft shirtless chest makes me even more comfy, I feel his abs they are also soft and super strong. I soon fall asleep.
The next morning we travel even more to where we finally find the boat, it's the size of a regular motorboat, it has a shiny blue and white metal on it. Derek powers up the boat and then we're off. Smoky squirms in my hands as we ride across the water. Frank looks onward as we hit open water. Shayna sits very tense across from me, the baby which she decided she'd call, Oliver, lies sleepily in her arms. My heart warms as I watch her kiss Oliver in the forehead, after all, she is his foster mother now. Alcatraz Island is set in the distance , it looks creepy as hell. With it's facilities being abandoned for quite a long time. Smoky wails in panic, I lean down and shake him.
" Stop it!" I mutter to him. He still squirms, no wonder my parents were sick of him.
The thought of my parents enters my mind, are they still alive? I hope they are, and that they're together. But what if their dead? Well, at least then they're with Victor.
