On the Run

Chapter 5

Trey gets up off the couch only to be faced by a cliff that drops at least 200 feet. He looks around confused, he sees greenery everywhere. He figures out quite quickly that he is in the middle of a rain forest. He turns around to see a big wolf behind him. Trey guessed it was a little over 4 feet tall, quite tall for a wolf! It started to growl at him and it bends over as if it were going to attack him. He braces for impact but nothing happens. Then more growling and barking starts, as if there were more dogs. The only one he can see is the big one frozen in attack position right in front of him. Then, as if on cue, the big dog stood up looking surprisingly relaxed. Around the big wolf, there are lots of smaller, regular sized, wolves walking slowly towards him after emerging from their hiding spots behind trees.

The big wolf turns around and walks away, as the others proceed to close in on him. He is trapped between the cliff and the pack. Three wolves jump to attack him but missed because Trey had jumped out of the way to barely make it out of the way each time. He then realizedtheir purpose wasn't to attack him. It was to knock him off the cliff. It had worked. He found himself falling to him doom.

Screaming, he hit the floor. He then woke up on the floor, short of breath. He heard voices coming from outside, they were faint but still voices. He ran over to the window at the front of his house to see if they, the criminals, had found him yet. It was just people walking by, to be more specific they were his neighbors that he had known for at least 2 years. He ran and opened the front door that was just to his right. He yelled out to them, "Hey! I need some help! Can you come here?!"

They stopped walking and turned towards him and yelled back, "With what?"

"Just come here, I need you to help me."

"Alright but this had better be worth my time." The neighbor said kind of joking. They were good friends. The two neighbors came through the front door and they sat down in the living room. One of them was tall, slim, and had short light brown hair. The other was shorter (even shorter than Trey), had a little bit of fat but not FAT, and had longer black hair that went down to his ears. Trey has known them for a long time so he knows them pretty well. The tall one was named Fredrick but everyone called him Fred. The shorter one was named Justin but everyone called him, well, Justin. "So, what do you need us to help you with?" Fred asked.

"This may sound a little crazy but, I am being hunted by these guys who plan to blow up the White House and I kind of found their plans so I might have seen too much. Can you at least help me get away from here without them finding out?" Trey told them.

"You're right, that IS crazy.  But, if this is true, I'm in. I don't want to lose a friend when I could have done something that could have saved him. But first, prove to us that this is true." Justin said.

"O.K." Trey tells them as he pulls out the flashdrive and walks to his kitchen, where his home computer is. Trey continues to explain his situation to them

"I'm in what do you need us to do?" Fred asked.

"I need you to stay with me and help me get out of here. I am not sure how to get out, that is part of why I need your help." Trey told them.

"Have you tried calling the police for help? They would be better suited for helping you than us." Fred told him.

"Yes, I have, they have control over the police. I called them and these bad guys picked up and posed as the police. That is how they found me." Trey replied.

"Where are you planning on going? Do you even have a plan?" Justin asked.

"I need to get to Washington D.C. to warn the president and everyone there. I am not sure how to get there but it cannot be on plane, boat, car, or any other vehicle. They'll just hack it and find me. If I am on a plane, they'll crash it. If I am on a boat, they'll drive it into a trap and sink it. We have to either walk or find another way." Trey told them.
