Chapter 3

"How can they be gone?" asked Daniel.

"It took them!" yelled Lucia, blaming herself. It was her fault. She couldn't save them. She couldn't. But now she would. She stood up. They were all in the panic room, all the ranks.

"I'm going to get them back." she said. Chiara rolled her eyes.

"And how are you gonna do that, Mrs.Hero?" she asked. Lucia looked around.

"I'll need help. Any volunteers?" Daniel raised his hand.

"I'm getting bored of this place." he said. Lucia smiled.

"Anyone else?" Chiara rolled her eyes and stood up.

"You're my sister. If we're gonna die, I wanna see." she said. Lucia laughed.

"I'll go." Lucia looked for the owner of the voice. It was little Beyonce. Her parents named her after a famous singer from the 2000s. Beyonce was young, and small too. Not only that, but she was extremely stubborn.

"You'll get hurt." said Lucia.

"No! I'm going wether you like it or not!" she said. Among the group was Arken (Julian's sidekick), Pamela (Julian's girlfriend), and Daniel.

"Last call! Anyone else joining us?"

"Me." Lucia looked at who said it. It was Tony.

"Oh, um, thanks." she said to him.

"No need to thank me." He walked over to the group. Tony was almost as tall as Daniel, and he was a high rank. He was only 17 though, so how he got there is a mystery. Lucia wasn't sure if he knew about Grecia's obsession with him, but he probably did.

"Ok. Well, see you all in a couple of weeks." she said.

"If we aren't dead." said Chiara. The group gave her a nasty stare.

"Wait, where's Commander?" asked Beyonce. Tony sighed.

"He was taken too." The room fell silent. Tony looked at his friend Roman.

"Roman, you are in charge until we get back."

"Yes, sir." Daniel turned to the group.

"Well then. Let's get going!"
