I don't like this place anymore. The barbecue was great but 'Sky' insists we stay." One more day, I told the rest of the group it'll take awhile to get back so we can stay longer" Preston begs and gives us an innocent smile." One day, that's it" Mitch says frowning and he crosses his arm across his chest." Okay thank you, I'll tell Sky" Preston shouts out happily and scurries off." Lachlan can you go snoop around while we figure out where we're sleeping" Mitch whispers and I nod. Ninja Lachlan mode activated! I walk away from the group and into an alleyway. There was a dumpster and chain link fence leading into some place still within the walls. I grab onto the fence and get ready to climb when a voice with a funny accent shouts " hey bud, you can't climb that it's only for guards back there". Ninja Lachlan mode deactivated. I turn around to see a man with brown hair, an eyepatch, and a bushy beard." I'm Lachlan Power, and you are?" I ask, he seems like a guy who thinks he's in charge but isn't, like supply teachers." I'm John, but everyone calls me Barney" he says and scratches his bread." Okay Barney, I'll be on my way" I say and brush past him. I need to see what's over that fence but I gotta wait till the night." Hey, new guy" a voice calls and I turn around to see a girl with Poofy,purple, hair. She walks over to me like a military Sargent and whispers "I'm Ashely, they took my Spatha and I think it's behind the chain fence". I give her a confused face and ask " what the heck is a Spatha" she rolls her eyes like I'm suppose to know what a Spatha is!" It's a sword Romans would use" she explains and I say "oh" then nod like I now know what she means ( I absolutely have no clue what a Spatha is and how this random girl got it)." So you're telling me this why" I ask and she rolls her eyes again, then drags me into a little house. It was dirty but it's the apocalypse and I haven't bathed in awhile so I can't judge." Is this yours" I asks and she nods " Sky gave it to me, he's trying to bribe me to stay" she explains then walks over to an old couch and sits on it. I awkwardly walk over and sit beside her in silence." My plan is; we hop the fence at 3:00 am when the guards switch with other guards but the other guards come at 3:20 so we'll have twenty minutes to sneak around" she explains in one breath and I process the info." Why doesn't Sky want us to leave" I blurt out randomly and she face palms." I don't know,  but when we hop the fence we'll probably figure out" she explains frustrated and I nod." You find your friends, come to my house tonight after the so called entertainment" Ashely says then shoo's me out. Can I do this?
