"We are on the road. Little ways behind. Copy?" Calum says into the radio. We've been trying for Marcus since we got back onto the road fifteen minutes ago.
"Still nothing." He says, putting the radio in a cup holder beside of him.
"Maybe we should just turn around. If we meet everyone else on the way back then they will have just been heading out so we can make another game plan." Alyssa suggests. Her bandages are already soaked through, and I can tell that the few pain pills have not helped her very much.
"Yeah I say we do that." I add, looking at Calum and Kyle.
Kyle slams the breaks, spinning the large truck around in the right direction.
"What was that for?!" I yell.
"Shut up." He retorts.
"Wow. Real mature Kyle. Real mature." I roll my eyes.
The ride back is pretty quiet.

We pull into the long driveway back towards the bunker. Smoke still fills the air and I can hear Alyssa breathing heavily. Whether from the memories of a little while ago or from the pain, I'll never find out.
We continue driving up the dirt road as Alyssa is as silent as ever and Calum is humming something. Probably Green Day.
"Try the radio."
"Here. You do it." My older brother hands the radio to the back seat. I grab it quickly, fidgeting with the buttons and pressing the one to talk.
"Can you hear me? Anyone hear me?"
No one responds to my message.
"What are we supposed to do?" Kyle asks to nobody in particular. I shake my head trying to think up some brilliant plan to get out out of this. Unsuccessfully, I shrug my shoulders in defeat.
My eyes focus on the road and trees through the windshield in front of us. I watch as the ginormous green pines and oak trees become blurs as we ride past them.
As I'm staring at the scene, I lose focus and am abruptly shaken out of my state when I can hear my brother screaming at me to get down.
Confused, I do what he says. I look up for a sign of someone outside the truck but the only evidence is the hole in the middle of the windshield. A hole big enough for a bullet, a hole big enough to kill someone.
These people aren't out to scare us away. They're here to hurt us or worse.
What did we get ourselves in to?
