The Enemy U.S.A.

Chapter 5: The Rescue

     An explosion was heard by Kevin, Lissette, and Braden who were still outside. "What the fuck was that?" Braden asked.

     "I have no idea," Kevin said. "It came from behind the school."

     "Bullshit," Braden said. "Like those fuckers can make something explode."

     "Is that what you call them?"

     "Yeah, so?"

     "We call them grown-ups."

     "What a stupid name."

     "Guys," Lissette cut their conversation. "Shouldn't we check to see what happened?"

     "Hell no!" Braden said.

     "What," Kevin said. "I thought you said that those fuckers couldn't have made that explosion. It can be survivors."

     "But... I... umm," Braden couldn't think of an excuse. Kevin was looking at him with an amused look on his face. "Fine. But if I fucking die, I blame you."

     "Fair enough." Kevin jogged to away, heading to the back of the school.

     "Wait up you El Salvadorian communist!" Braden called, jogging after him. Lissette was close behind.

     "When they neared the back of the school they saw smoke, rising up in the air. "Something definitely blew up." Kevin said.

      "But what?" Lissette asked.

     "I have no idea," Kevin said. The he gestured forward. "Let's keep moving."

     They reached the back of the school and saw a little crater in the field near the football field. "What the fuck-" Kevin then saw two bodies about 15 feet away from the crater, they looked like kids. "Holy shit!" Kevin ran to check and see if they were okay.

     "Wait the fuck up!" Braden called.

     Kevin reached the 2 kids first, he knew who they were. The boy was his friend Tyler and the other was Tyler's girlfriend, Kelly. He checked their pulses, they were still alive. They were both knocked out cold.

     "Holy shit," Braden said. "It's Tyler. That son of a bitch made it. "
     "Help me out you idiot." Kevin said as he was picking up Kelly. "You 2 lift Tyler."

     As They were taking back Tyler and Kelly, they heard grown-ups. Kevin looked back and saw a group of many grown-ups, coming from the highschool.  They didn't seem to notice the kids and he was thankful for that. They were teenagers and some of them seemed to be wielding golf clubs. "What the fuck..."

     Lissette looked up from Tyler as she was holding his arms, walking backwards. She stopped when she saw the heard.

     "Why the fuck did you stop?" Braden asked.

     Lissette pointed with a shacking hand, she was starting to whimper. Braden looked behind him. "Holy fucking shit!" Braden said. "What are you guys fucking waiting for, let's fucking move!"

     "Braden is right," Kevin said. "Those are teenagers. They run. So we better hurry up.

     "How the fuck do you now that?" Braden asked.

     "Um... I... uh... I study them. I'm embarrassed to admit it but I do. That's why I'm surviving. I wouldn't have if I didn't study them. I have a journal at my place."

     They finally reached the parking lot, and the hoard seemed to be heading there way, but didn't seem to notice them. Lissette then looked up and saw that one of the teenagers started running, then another, then another, then the whole hoard ran at them. Lissette dropped Tyler's arms and ran away screaming. Tyler nearly hit his head on the concrete, but Kevin stuck out his foot and his head hit Kevin's leg.

     "What the fuck are you doing!"
Braden shouted after her. "Get the fuck back here!"

     Kevin then put Tyler's head slowly to the concrete with his leg. He than looks behind him and saw the running hoard. "Umm, Braden?"

     "What the fuck do you want?"

     "Look."

     Braden looked behind and saw  the hoard, halfway through the field. "Holy shit! What do we do?"

     "Grab Tyler's arms and drag him! We need to go, now!" Kevin drew his gun and stared to run as fast as he could with Kelly in his arms. Braden was trying to catch up with him, but Tyler was too heavy for him. That's why Kevin told Lissette and Braden to carry Tyler, they were to weak to carry, or at least drag one person.

     "Hurry up Braden!" They were halfway to the front doors.

     "I'm trying!" Braden was scared. He saw the hoard nearing as they took a turn to get to the front doors. No one was there to help them, like they abandoned them. Leaving them to die. "Were going to die." Braden was tearing up. "I don't want to die."

     "We're not," they were almost to the doors. "We're going to make it!"

     Braden looked up and saw that the hoard turned round the building and ran towards them. They were 3 feet from the doors. Braden looked to Kevin. "I'm sorry." He dropped Tyler on the ground and ran to the doors, opening them then closing them behind him.

     "You son of a bitch!" Kevin was left alone, the hoard after him. He was starting to tear up, he couldn't leave his friends, and he wasn't. He started to drag both of them, holding one arm each. One of the teenagers lunged at Kelly, but Kevin shot him in the head. The teenager slowed and stopped and looked and Kevin's gun, they were scared of it. Kevin was confused by this and stopped as well, but snapped out of it and continued to drag his friends. The teenagers soon after snapped out of their confusion and fear. and started to run again. He dragged Tyler and Kelly over the blood, it made it easier to drag them to the door. Kevin opened one of the doors and saw no one, they were probably hiding. The hoard was getting closer. He screamed as he dragged Tyler and Kelly through the doors. He dropped their arms and ran to the door to shut it, but one of the teenager's arms was preventing him to close it. The teenager grabbed Kevin and pulled him to the door. The other teenagers were pounding on the doors, preventing them to open. Kevin dropped his gun to the floor, he cursed. Then another teenager grabbed his leg. He fell to the ground. The teenager that grabbed him managed to grab Kevin's shirt, and ripped it, holding a piece of it. Kevin felt his foot being attacked and felt a teenager biting it. Kevin the drew one of his long daggers and started hacking at the teenager's arm that was holding on to him. He heard it whimpering and it let go. He got up and kicked at the other arms. Blood was splatting on him, the floors, and the walls. Kevin then finally managed to then close the door. He put his back to it and slid down. He was panting and crying. He had almost died. He looked at the new blood stains on his dagger and on his clothes. He then looked at Tyler and Kelly, they were still sleeping. Kevin started to laugh, he was happy to save made it. He got up. "Yeah! I fucking did it!" He then turned to the teenagers banging on the doors, they were blocking the sunlight so it was pretty dark. "You sons of bitches didn't even kill me!" He was taunting them, and they got more aggravated. "What are you going to do? Huh? I won, and you lost!"

     "No, you lost." said a voice behind him.

     Kevin turned around and saw Dian aiming his gun at his head.
