James was leading them as they ran for the wood, he looked over the woods to see if it was all clear. Thats when his heart started pumping faster, the woods where filled with guys with machine guns. James mind was racing he had not thought of the chance of them being in the woods waiting for them, expecally waiting with guns... Machine guns. He seen one of the guys starting to turn around so he stopped Lily and Riley from running then he said "Just walk to the left away from the woods and don't look back, I will explain later. I am trying to come up with a new plan just act normal." Lily and Riley looked at each other then turned and followed after James. The only thing that James was thinking was Please don't see us. As they got a distances from the woods James whispered to Riley what he had seen, he didn't want to say it out loud because he didn't want to worry Lily. Lily then said, "Okay, James what is the plan now?" Riley looked at James she could tell that he was scaried and trying his best to keep it in and not let it overwhelm him, he had to be brave for his little sister. James looked at Lily then said, "I think the new plan is to head back to Junes house, where going back to the Johnsons house a least for a little bit because it wont be save for us to be there for very long." He sighed Lily looked up at him then said, "Don't worry James we will be okay we have you as a leader." James bent down and hugged Lily and said, "We will." Riley smiled at them and remember how she used to think like Lily, as long as she was with her sister she would alway be safe and get through anything. Finally they made it to the Johnsons house and they kocked on the back door. Mrs.Johnson Peeked out then pulled them in just like Riley had done to James and Lily before. Mrs.Johnson grabbed and hugged on to James and Lily. Riley Smiled and waved then said, "Hello Mrs.Johnson am Riley, Lilys old teacher." Mrs. Johnson Let got of them and when over to Riley and gave her a hug as well "Hello Riley I have heard a lot about you from Lily here and sometime a little from James." Mrs.Johnson Winked and James put his hand on his head. "Mrs.Johnson Please not right now, We need your help Riley is on the run with us they are looking for her as well and Lily asked her to join us." Mrs.Johnson cut him off as he was talking then bent down to Lily and said. " That was so sweet of you Lily to Invite your teacher to join you." Lily Smiled at her. James Cleared his throt, "When we where at Rileys they where there so we where running for the woods." Riley covered Lilys ears. "But, as we where going there I seen men with machine guns and all I could think was to come back here." Riley let go of Lilys ear and Mrs.Johnson shook her head then said, "Its okay, am happy you came back here." James told Lily to go upstairs with June for a little while she could, she run up happy to get to play with her friend. James,Riley,and Mrs.Johnson sat down at the kitchin table. Riley said, "What if we all changed are appearances, then have Mrs.Johnson Drives us to the closest truck stop and see if we can find somone whose traveling away from here and is kind enough to take us along with them?" James and Mrs.Johnson agreed that it was the best they got. This plan could go good or bad, if they asked the wrong person they might turn them in and then they'd all be done for. But, they couldn't think of any better plan to get them out of the town, they planned on leaving more then just the town they planned on leaving the state to be on the safe side. Thats if they made it that far....
