The Security Adventures

Chapter 12

"Where's Arnold?" I ask, grabbing an ice pack off Mikayla and holding it against a cut. "He's in another helicopter, flying ahead of us. We ran into some other kids who were being chased by the Agency, so they're with him" Mikayla responds. I chuckle and lie back down. "The Agency is the least of our problems. Malcolm is planning to become God, so that's gonna suck" I sigh. I heard a beep. "Almost there!" Trevor calls out. I frown. "Almost where? Disneyland?" I ask.
"No, not Disneyland! Security HQ! It's not a flying aircraft, it's a building!" Trevor calls back. Oh yay. We can begin our training now. That was sarcasm. I wish I could go home! I miss my family! "Oh my lord..." Dawn gasps. Trevor coughs. "You're kidding my cheese" Trevor coughs. I stand up. "No, don't!" Mikayla warns. Too late. Pain almost eats my leg and I fall to the ground again. I clench my teeth. My veins hurt in my legs and my bones ached. "Your feet hit a rock" Mikayla explains. I inhale. "What is it?" I groan. Trevor coughs again. "The building...it's..." He begins. I sit up and Mikayla helps me stand. Even though pain was flying through my legs, I walk over to the window and look outside. There was a large skyscraper in the middle of a large forest. But, the tower was destroyed. It was split in half and the top half lay on the ground and fire almost covered the trees around the building. Security was destroyed. We were alone.

Trevor landed the helicopter next to the building and we all hopped out. I still wasn't fully comfortable walking, but I could manage. We started picking up random burned objects. "Well, where did Arnold go?" Dawn asks. Eric looks up. "Huh?"
"Well, he was ahead of us. He would've passed through here"
"Well..."
Good question. Where was Arnold? "I have a bad feeling about this place" Mike says. I heard a buzzing sound. "Shh!" I hiss. Everyone stops doing whatever they're doing and stare at me. "Do you hear that?" I ask. The buzzing got louder. "Shit! EVERYBODY HIDE!" Dawn shouts. We all start running in different directions. What was it? I dive under a burned table and curl up. The buzzing was extremely loud. I peek out of the table. Flying over us, at cloud level, was almost a fleet of helicopters. Jesus. Before I could even blink, I heard an explosion. Nearby. I gasp. Who did they fire at? But it wasn't anyone. It was our helicopter. Oh great. Where stuck here!
