                 I rolled the car in the corn, a bullet flew by my face as I was running, it was the police. They had me cornered. I ran to the other side of the field and jumped the fence into the woods. I heard a new gun go off, a rifle. The cops were using pistols, so who was using the rifle?! I turned to my left to make sure of a clean get away, but then, the police were being shot down. Then someone came up to a police officer and killed him with a knife. The police were dead. I hear the cock of a rifle, "If you move, I'll blast your brains out", the voice was male, probably no older than me. Then another voice from my right, "Owen, what the fucking hell is wrong with your ass?!" This was a female, probably a year younger than me. I looked at the two kids. It all went down like this
Owen: Who are you?
Me: I'm Kylo.
Girl: I'm Miranda.
Me: Nice to meet you two. But who are you guys?
Owen: Us? We go round the country looking for troubled kids on the run and we help them.
Me: I have a huge problem.
Miranda: And that would be?
Me: Well.... Um...
Owen: C'mon.
Miranda: Hey jackass, how about sometime before I'm fifty?!
Then I spilled everything, the Hell Fire Club, Zoe, EVERYTHING.
