Bureau Of Testing System ( BOTS)
-------------------
The door lead straight outside. After such a long time, seeing trees actually brought me joy. Suddenly, it felt like nothing else existed. No more crazy leaders killing children. Soon, I would get to see Alex. Neither Tiffany, nor I stopped running. We didn't know where we were headed to, just knew that we had to get as far away as possible. After running for 30 minutes, my lungs burned and every inch of my body ached.
"Lets...stop...for... a while..."I said between breaths.
"I'm not arguing with that."Tiffany fell to the floor, not even caring about the dirt she was sitting on. I collapsed next to her, leaning back against a tree. I looked up, seeing the sky I hadn't seen in days. Tiffany began unloading her bag pack and I reached behind to grab mine as well, only to realize that I had lost it while running. Muttering a swear to myself, I threw my head in my hands.
" Great!" I said, throwing my hands in the air " We've only got one bag pack."
Tiffany, who was chugging down a bottle of water, pushed it into my hands. " Relax, there has to be somewhere we can find water. A stream or lake...." She trailed off just as a piercing sound cut through the sky. I immediately recognized it and pushed Tiffany and myself behind the tree.
" What are you-" I cut her off by putting my hand over her mouth. I pointed towards the sky where about 6 jets were flying through the air. They were large white, streamline shaped jets. In bold black letters, " OLS" was written on one of its wings. I remembered how much Alex used to talk about those jets. How they were equipped with machine guns and tranquilizer darts. As soon as they were out of sight I let go of Tiffany.
" They're searching for us. Those are OLS's official jets.". She nodded and sat down. I began to pack everything up.
" Are we seriously leaving now? We just got here." She complained
" If they've sent out jets already then the next thing they're going to do is send out search parties. This forest is the first place they'll look since they know which door we left from. I think its best if we get out of here and find shelter. It'll be dark soon and then we can find a place to camp for the night.".
Tiffany shrugged and got up. I volunteered to carry the bag pack. We began walking deeper into the woods.
