It had been two months, nothing but traveling, only stopping when we needed to refuel. We finally stopped in New Orleans, Louisiana we went through three full tanks to get her, but ran out before we made it to Miami, Florida. That's where Haley's yacht is, it was nice to be near home. I was born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana, so I knew my way around Louisiana in general. I had friends all over the state, but that was before everything happened.
Just as we got out of the truck, something kept blinding me like a...signal? I didn't pay much attention to it, there was nothing out here. Right? I asked Ariana and Haley about it but neither got blinded like me, is someone here?
We were down a street, when it happened again! We split up looking for gas, I went straight for the building where the light was coming from. It was a tall building at least 30 stories high. Just as I made it on the tenth floor, I was jumped from behind, they put a bag over my head and put me to sleep.
"Ugh, my head." I moaned out.
"Why, are u here?" I heard a girl ask.
Just what I need another girl!
"My group, is just looking for gas, were heading down to Miami, I will go and never come back if you want me too." I told her.
"No, it was me I need help, food, water, anything that can help, please?
Not a good first impression
"I know I kinda tied you up and stuff, but I just didn't know if you were friendly or not so..."
Reasonable
"My group can help you, but I need you to untie me so I can lead you there, my group is leaving first thing in the morning, with or without everyone, so let's get moving."
We ran through the city, I never caught her name, though. We had about thirty minutes to an hour before sun-rise and I wasn't getting left behind. As the sun rose we made it back to camp.
Then I seen Haley's and Ariana's faces sink....
