5 and 9 went up to the watch tower; up there was a map of the area and a telescope. 5 went up to it, and sighed. "This was the first thing we built together.." 9 looked up at 5, "We could still go after them." "Us?" 5 asked, looking out into the distance, "But, they could be anywhere out there." With that response, 9 tried to look for the place where 2 and 14 were taken to. "That's where it took them, out towards those three tall shapes!" He said, pointing to where he was talking about. 5 looked into the telescope for a split second, and realized what 9 was talking about, "Ohh no. We can't-not there." He gets down from the telescope stand, "We have rules." 5 started to see if the gears on it were working. 9 went up to him, "Why do you listen to 1?" "A group must have a leader." 5 replied. "But, what if he's wrong?" 9 then asked. 5 stopped, and thought about it for a second. "Come with me, I can't do it alone." 5 sighed, "I... I-I can't.." "But.. Wouldn't they have come for you?" 9 added. 5 stopped in his tracks, thinking about what the three of them have been through. 9 then patted his back, and got ready to leave. 5 was still thinking; all of a sudden, "Wait!" He went over to grab the map that was hanging up next to the telescope, and headed over to 9, smiling. "We're going to need a map."
