Three days. Three days since we brought Red Eye to camp. Three days since he told Tom about the skitter rebellion. Three days since we had to flee from a group of Mechs and skitters trying to kill Red Eye. Ben and I haven't seen him since Tom and Hal were keeping a close eye on us. So, I've started learning how to fix motorcycles from Iain, and over the past three days he was starting to get used to the idea of a rebellion.

"Tell me again how they were able to resist the harness." He said.

"I'm not sure, but maybe it got damaged, or it lost its holding affect over time, like they just went back to their old selves." I told him, for the tenth time.

"Cool!" He was so intrigued by skitters now.

We were working on a truck's engine when I heard a few motorcycles ride up near me. I turned around and saw Ben and Hal followed by a few kids I had never seen. I took an old rag and cleaned my hands from the truck's oil.

I walked up to them and gave Ben a quick kiss and Hal flinched a bit like he had been hit. "Who are they?" I gestured to the other kids.

"We found them in an old building. There were only kids and teens there." Hal answered.

I nodded then walked to the boy who I guessed was the leader. He was about Hal's height, but not as muscular. He was Hispanic and had black hair that didn't go past his eyes. I held out my hand.

"Hi, I'm Ashley."

He shook it "I'm Diego."

I dropped his hand "Are you the leader?"

"Yep."

"How long have you all been together?" I looked at the five kids behind him.

"A few months." He pointed to the girl behind him with long dark-brown hair and bright blue eyes. "This is Jeanne my girlfriend;" He pointed to three dirty-blonde haired girls with brown eyes and similar facial features, "They are the triplets, Felicia, Deja, and Clarissa;" He pointed to the two young boys with short hair, one who looked about 10 years old and the other looked about 12, "And that is Michael and Josh." I smiled at them and they shyly smiled back.

Weaver came out of his tent and walked up to the new group of kids "Jeanne?" he asked Diego's girlfriend.

"Dad?" she ran up to him and they embraced. Weaver had mentioned a few times how much he missed his daughters, and I'm happy he was finally reunited with one of them. Weaver took Hal, Tom, and Diego to the tent to swap information while Ben and I showed the kids which tent they would be sleeping in.

...

Ben and I woke up the new kids and showed them to the mess tent for breakfast.

"Thank you guys for being so nice to us." Felicia said as we all sat at a table.

"No problem." Ben said. "I'm actually surprised you all stayed alive this long. How did you do it?"

"We stayed low, moved around a lot." Michael answered. They stayed in silence for a while so Ben and I talked about our favorite knock knock jokes. I couldn't help but laugh out loud at his silly jokes.

"How long have you two been together?" Deja asked.

I looked at Ben "I'm not sure a few months?"
