Finally, Mike and Eleven got out the lake before getting back onto the road.

"Thanks for today.", said Jane.

"No problem. I had fun."

"Me too."

Suddenly, helicopters, yelling and gunshots could be heard.

"What's going on?!", asked Mike.

"Get. Out. The. Car."

"What?! B-but we'll get shot!"

"I don't care! We just need to get out the car!"

Quickly, Michael pulled up on the side of the road and got out the vehicle, Jane doing the same.

There was an army of soldiers who moved as one, a sea of green, as if there were just one brain instead of many. With each step the sound of the boots on the cold tarmac was like the warning thunder of a coming storm. Slung about their shoulders were rifles with bayonets. Each face was grim against the frigid wind and on every hand was a black glove.

"Run!"

Worryingly, the rapidity of the shots suggested something automatic. Eleven not grabbed Michael and pulled him behind a large rock. Then, silence returned far more thickly than it was before the shots, as if everything around them was collectively holding it's breath. Janeien was starting to sweat, flash backs invaded her thoughts and she fought to remain focused.
Thankfully, a soldier had been shot and their gun had been flung from their hands to just far enough for Eleven to reach it.

She took it and started what she'd trained for.

When she ran out of bullets the young girl started to run again, but when everyone started to catch up, turned around, she lifted her hand and glared intensely, Michael watching behind her.

All of a sudden, the soldiers stopped and their eyes started to bleed before dropping their guns and falling to the ground.

"Let's go."

"D-did you just-"

"Yes I did."

"Cool."

Suddenly, Eleven turned around and stopped.

"Cool?! You think this is what cool?! I didn't want to do that. Kill innocent people with families back home! But I had to do it for both my and your safety! So don't think it's 'cool' to kill people, okay?!"

"Okay, okay, sorry."

"No, I'm sorry. I'm just a little-"

"Frustrated? I know."

Jane looked at Michael and smiled before turning back around and continuing to walk.
