Runaway: Book 1: Chasing Butterflies (#Wattys2015)

13: Frank

We board the large dock of Alcatraz Island, I start to sense something. 
" What's wrong?" Ella senses my worry.
" There's something not right here" I answer.
" Well you chose to come here, so there is no turning back" Derek cuts in.
The clicking of a gun makes me suddenly aware, everyone else tenses around me.
A kid jumps out, a pistol in his hand.
" Put your hands up. NOW!" The kid seems younger than me, I'd say about eleven or twelve.
Four other people jump out guns pointed at us, these people are survivors from the attack.

" We don't mean any harm" Ella says.
" How do we know you're not one of them" A buff black guy says.
" Because this baby's mother was killed by them in the attack and we saved him" Shayna snaps.
" And we have no evidence of weaponry and this girl is pregnant" Derek looks at Ella.
" Pregnant, pregnant?" The black guy asks.  He gestures to the other four to lower their weapons.
" The name's Henry, this kid is Jake, the woman is Farah and this guy is Jose" The black guy introduces everyone.
" Nice to meet you" Ella says.
" Follow us" Jake gives me a suspicious look then follows Henry.
" How did you get here so fast?" Ella asks.
" We got the last couple of boats available on the day of the attack" Farah answers.
But still, how did they get here without being totally gunned/ bombed to death?
Wait, how do we know that their not Kinetics themselves?
I try to feel Henry's mood, nothing, just nothing.  I still don't trust them.
I lean towards Ella, "Try and get into his mind".  Ella nods, she focuses her gaze on Henry.
" No, he's not one of them" Ella whispers to me.  " But I know who is" She flicks her head to Jose.
" He's a Kinetic?"  I whisper.
" Yep" Ella whispers back.
" We should tell Henry" I whisper.
" No! They trust Jose, we can't make them think we are Kinetic?" Ella gasps. 

Henry opens the door into the prison, the cold atmosphere makes me uncomfortable.   Uncomfortable to the point that I feel as if a hundred people are staring at me.  Now that I think about it, there are a hundred people staring at us. 
Jake's white blonde hair helps my navigate through the crowd.  My thermal isn't available at the moment so I have normal cured from blindness eyesight.  I find Jake standing right beside Henry, Henry pats Jake's head as if he was his son.  Jake happily grins then his face turns serious again as a thin middle aged woman with long straight reddish brown hair walks towards the patient crowd.
" Welcome to The Resistance newcomers, my name is Abigail Dome".
She's one as well, Frank Kiera's voice rings in my head.
