I have had more than enough time to learn that when we, we meaning Ed, Sky, Matty, and I, get stuck in small spaces together, like a car for instance, which has happened more than I would like these last few months, that tempers are going to run high, Bell and Cloud took Marks bike, mother fuckers.

From where we were in the Falls to Tobermory, it should have only been a 4-hour trip, and now we're approaching our 6th hour, 8 wrong turns, 5 times we had to stop to ask directions (well Bell asked anyway), 3 times we switched drivers, and 10 times we lost Bell and Cloud, and every second we wasted getting lost, who knows what they're doing to him.

I can feel his pain, less intense, but the sting is still there, and it's everywhere, mostly in my chest and right hand, it got so bad that I couldn't drive and had to switch, that was a mistake, but I'm back in the drivers seat, Ed's riding shotgun, Sky, and Matty are in the back navigating, Cloud and Bell are behind us, keeping closer then legal this time so we don't lose them again,  I can't even get mad at them, how are they supposed to follow if they don't know were turning? it's Ed and Matty who can't use signals apparently. 

We were an hour in when all of a sudden "Stop!" Maddie screamed as I hit the brakes, I had forgotten how close Cloud and Bell were, Cloud swerved, narrowly avoiding the car, but the 2 went flying off the bike and into some bushes, " whoops" " she's gonna kill us" Sky said with a gulp, she stood up and wiped her scraped hands on her jeans looking madder than I thought humanly possible, I rolled down my window as she approached, and she punched me right in the face "even?" I asked, "even".

"let's go again, let's go again!" Cloud chanted like an idiot as he pulled himself out of the bush, Bell rolled her eyes as he made his way over " what the hell was that!?" she demanded " sorry" Matty said " it's my fault, we almost went passed the turn, again" He said,  Bell looked skeptical " are we sure they would bring him here? what if this is all just a wild goose chase and we are wasting time, we don't even know if they're the ones who took him?".

Matty spoke," and if they are, if they do have Sasha, and there the only people who would be able to sneak up on him, or want Sasha now that the wolves are dead, who knows what those sick fucks are doing to him?" both Cloud and I gulped " I do" we said in unison, " anyway, I can feel him," I said " he scared and he's in pain, he's close" I looked over to Matty" where do we go now?". 

" I don't know about all you," Bell said less pissed at me " but I want to know the layout of the area, where the bunker is, is there any exits or hidden door to sneak into?" Ed nodded " what is this bunker thing anyway?" he asked.

" The bunker itself is originally for storing search and rescue machines, storage for maintenance equipment for the park, it's also used as a sort of safe spot to stay when weather gets bad or people get lost, It's built mostly underground, but there is a small door aboveground that leads into a room where people stay when they get lost, it's hidden behind a hill, just out of sight of anyone walking along the trail".

" How did Nick get a hold of it?" Bell asked and I sighed " there was a pack of werewolf's in the area, but not anymore" they grimaced " the owner gave it to him as thanks for getting rid of his" I cleared my throat " problem".

"It's not big in any sense, the main room, where people stay" I explained "it consists of a bookshelf, Tv, single bed, table and chairs, and 3 adjoining rooms, 2 are no bigger than a standard closet, the bathroom with a sink, toilet, and shower, all in one, a kitchen no bigger than the bathroom, with a mini fridge, sink, and portable element, and the last room, most likely where they're keeping him, is a sort of basement.

"The other side of the hill leads to a paved trail, mostly used by workers or people on dirt bikes, originally, they kept 4 wheelers and trashed bags, along with other maintenance things like that, there is what looks like a garage door on that side where the vehicles can get in and out, it was opened with a pin code I believe, but Nick had turned in into his own torture chamber" Cloud cut in " the man is sick" he said, and even though Cloud has been telling me this for years, I'm just now realising he's right.
