I jump into the back of one of their trucks before the other men shoot.Bang. Bang. Bang. Now's my time I duck behind a box and a bunch of men jump in and the van I'm in speeds off. I wonder how Lola will feel when she realises I'm gone. She probably won't realise.

"Where Has He Gone !!"

I search around for him, but I can't see him anywhere I look through the crowds of people and I still can't see him.

"Lola are you ok, what's wrong?"

Piper makes her way through the crowd to grab me and turn me around I stop her and tell her that he's missing. We both separate and look for him.

I hear Piper shout "Here I found this note" I run towards her and she gives me the note I can't believe what it says.

The truck comes to a stop and the men jump out and go inside the building. I jump out before anyone sees me, I hide behind a building and watch The Innocents unload their trucks of guns and food. A man sneaks up behind me with an axe, he goes to swing it at me, but I grab the axe handle and pull it out of his hands, I turn the axe around and stick it into his neck and then I smash it into his head. He's Dead.

' I'm sorry Lola, but I had to go, it's going to give us an advantage even though I may die please tell everyone I died in battle - From a friend'

Me and Piper look at the note and run to Alex's house we bang on the door and there's no answer we try and kick the door down and eventually it collapses. We search his house, but he's no where to be seen. We run down to the courtyard and grab our weapons we tell everyone to get ready for a fight, I stand at the collapsed gate with Piper by my side, I turn around to see everyone standing behind me with guns

"Ok, we need people to stay here at Whitefield in case they attack, we need people to protect the children as well, I need someone who knows the way to the place where The Innocents live, We're Going To War".

A woman walks up to me and tells me she knows the way, I tell here to lead the way and we set off to war.

I sneak through the back door, avoiding all The Innocents in the way, I dive into a room keeping my axe at hand. Click. I turn around and there's a woman with a gun aimed at me "Over H--!". I had no choice but I had to kill that woman she was going to get me killed. I take her gun and drag her body to one side so nobody sees her. I sneak into another room and see an Innocents guard uniform on the bed. I take off all my clothes and put the guard's uniform on I search all the pockets and there's a Revolver in his holster and 2 grenades I also find a suppressor in his draws I attach it to the Glock that the woman tried to shoot me with. I leave the room and look down the halls and there's no one I turn the corner and bump into a man and put my head down so he doesn't see me.

"Hey, Stop! Are you new around here?"

I nod and walk away, he looks suspiciously at me. I go out the back door that I entered by and see the man I killed with the axe surrounded by armed men, I back off inside again and run down the halls I turn left and through another door I burst through the door and collide with a fence at this moment I stare face to face with a biter I realise that this my chance, I place a grenade in the fence and pull the pin.

Me, Piper and Alicia walk toward the Organisation with 40 or more of our men behind us. Alicia is the woman that knew the way there and the Organisation is the place where the innocents live, she used to live there before she escaped.
