They looked at all the chaos around them. Everything seemed so unreal. As in they were in a videogame or something. No one wanted to say anything until they realized they'd been staring for a minute.

"Alright, uh , how do you get to your uncle's house?" Craig asked, looking at Stacy. Stacy looked around to get used to her surroundings.

"Leave that to me. Madison, you stlil got the keys?" she asked, looking over at Madison. Madison nodded and tossed them to her. "I'm driving today." They all nodded and followed the girls to the car.

"SHOTGUN!" Jacob yelled, running over to the passenger seat. Madison rolled her eyes and climbed into the backseat with the others. Madison and Rayan sat in the first row of seats and Xondria sat between Craig and Santo in the last row. Stacy set the GPS for the address her Uncle told her . As she began to drive,  Craig looked around outside and sighed. Xondria grabbed his hand and rubbed his knuckles with her thumb. He looked over at her and she smiled.

"We'll get through this together," she whispered. He smiled and held her hand, placing it on his lap. Santo looked over at the two and scoffed, looking out the window. Xondria then turned towards him. "I'm sorry, did you need something?" she smiled sarcastically. He shook his head , still staring out the window. She rolled her eyes and faced the front. "Stace , how long is the ride ?" she asked. Stacy looked at the GPS.

"Around forty minutes. His church is in Detroit and y'all decided to have a meet and greet in Pontiac," she growled, about to get on the freeway.

"Don't take the freeway, take the streets. If people just started disappearing, I can predict there's going to be alot of traffic," Madison said, resting her head on her hand. Stacy nodded and continued on the surface streets. There was still a lot of traffic so she was mainly riding on the grass the ride, making everyone in the car shake. Once they arrived at the modern church building, Rayan made a stank face.

"This is where your uncle is?" he asked suspicously. Stacy nodded and made her way out of the car with everyone else. Rayan trailed behind Madison and the others , walking up behind her.

"I don't think this guy can be trusted," he whisper yelled in her ear only loud enough for her to ear. She shivered a little at his breath down her neck and whipped around to face him.

"Why not?" she whispered back. He looked around whispered back. 

"I may know what happened, but I need it to be confirmed. He knows what happened, too but I think he's a hypocrite because since he knows , he isn't supposed to be here." he said, looking around, seeing a man cut his wrist before falling of the top of a semi-truck. Madison looked around and saw the scene, covering her eyes and sighing. She shook her head and looked at him through seperated fingers.

"What are you talking-" she said but was cut off by a loud knocking at the church doors by Stacy. Audible foot steps approached the door slowly as the sliding peep door opened half way to see who it was. Once he saw it was his neice and her friends, he sighed a sigh of relief and opened the door, opening his arms for a hug. Stacy smiled softly and went to hug him.

"Stacy-Wacy! I haven't seen you since you were two feet tall!" He smiled and pulled her in front of her to see how she has grown. She smiled and shook her head. 

"Oh, Uh, these are my friends Madison, Xondria, Jacob, Rayan, Craig, and Santo," she said pointing at them. He smiled and reached to hug the girls and shake the hands of the boys.

"We were formally Mindless Behavior," Jacob added, making a sus face. Craig gave him a glare and turned his attention back to the bishop.

"What a lovely church you have," he smiled as he shook his hand. Watler smiled, moving away from the door.
