Hours. We had been in this truck for hours. Surely we were far, far away from home at this point. We were on a trail leading to somewhere with big trees surrounding us. All I could see were tree branches and falling leaves as we drove by. It was an easy trip for Brock, Lui, and Delirious because they were all out like a light. As for Evan and Marcel, they had to take turns driving. I didn't have to since I didn't even know where John's house is. It was still hard for me though, since every time I tried to fall asleep I couldn't.

Brock shuffled a little and made me flinch. I was a lot more jumpy than usual lately. Ever since I joined the gang, actually, my paranoia has grown drastically. After a while I had successfully fallen asleep but it wasn't for long though. The truck came to a stop and I silently groaned to myself. I woke Delirious up and told him to wake Lui and Brock up as well. He yawned and did as told.

Just before I went to open the door of the truck, my phone vibrated in my pocket. I didn't even notice I had it. I took it out and checked it. It was text messages from Catniss.

Catniss: where are u? I went to ur base but u weren't there

Catniss: why are there FBI officers here?

Catniss: call me! I'm worried about u

*one missed call from Catniss*

(Y/N): I'm fine. I'll explain everything on the phone later but I'm okay. Just don't go back to the base.

Once I replied I opened the door of the truck and got out. I instantly looked at the house that was in front of me. It was a cabin that looked cozy and suitable for all of us to live in for the time being. Clearly though, there weren't enough rooms for us to stay in. Then it hit me. Where's Dylan and Trevor? Most importantly, where's Dylan?

By now everyone had to be out of the trucks and helicopters so I began my search. My first stop was the first truck I saw. Dylan wasn't there. I saw Tyler and decided to ask him about Trevor.

"Hey, Tyler," I greeted. He turned around and my eyes instantly went wide. He had a black eye and his lip was swollen and bruised.

"What happened to you?" I questioned. He looked disappointed when he looked into my eyes. 'Something bad happened' I thought.

"Trevor somehow got out of the ropes while we were fighting off the CIA. When he did that he came outside attacked Dylan and I. He held Dylan at gunpoint and told me that if I said another word he would kill him. So I didn't, and he ran away with him," he explained.

My brother was gone, again. How could I let this happen? I was too busy defending everyone to even slightly realize what was going on so close to me. Plus, who knows what that maniac Trevor might do to him now that nobody is there with him. We can't ever get away from these bastards can we?

"That's horrible Tyler, thanks for trying to save him though. I really do appreciate it," I reassured. Then he did the unexpected. He hugged me. I thought that he still didn't trust me but I guess he did. I hugged him back and we stayed like that for a while.

                               ~Tyler's POV~
I felt so bad. I let the person I was starting to love the most down. What if she hates me?

"That's horrible, Tyler, thanks for trying to save him though. I really do appreciate it," she reassured me. I couldn't help it. I genuinely thought she was going to hate me for not saving him. So, I hugged her. I could tell she couldn't believe it either. I'm pretty sure she thought I didn't trust her but I do now. I got to know her and she's a beautiful, strong, and courageous person. I couldn't ask for a better person to have feelings for.

                              ~(Y/N)'s POV~
After a bit Tyler and I pulled away from our hug. I could feel my face heat up a bit as well as his. He looked away and I smiled. I poked him on the arm and walked away. I decided to go into the house and look around. When I stepped inside, I was greeted with a living room. It had a big couch and a flatscreen TV on the wall with an Xbox one on a table underneath it. I sat on the couch and took out my phone; the time reading 5:44pm.

>>5:44pm

I called Catniss and she picked up instantly.

"(Y/N)?! What's going on? Are you okay?!" She exclaimed frantically. I giggled and rolled my eyes.

"I told you in the text that I'm perfectly fine. There's no need to worry. The only bad thing is, 7th street got Dylan again..." I sadly spoke. She was silent for a few seconds before talking once more.

"Those bastards!" She exclaimed. I smiled at her remark.

"You still like him I see," I slyly stated.

"N-no!" she stuttered, "isn't it normal to be concerned for someone that you've known for years?"

"Yes," I replied, "but that stutter was very unordinary."

"Shut up," she retorted. I chuckled. We talked for a bit. I told her about how 7th street kidnapped us, about how we kidnapped Trevor, and how we had to come to John's old house to hideout at. I even told her about Dylan's fiancé Mia.

After all that I hung up and put my phone on the armrest of the couch. I was just staring at  the blank TV screen looking back at all the events that have happened in my life. Some of them were good while others were the opposite. Then the TV turned on. It wasn't a normal show or commercial either, and nobody was around to turn it on. It was a static screen that said 'You'll never win.'

"Guys, you might want to get in here!" I yelled out to them. Everyone started piling into the room, with Lui and Arlan helping Brock walk.The TV changed to show a woman. She had medium length blonde hair and brown eyes.

"Sydney," Evan whispered softly. We continued to watch.

"Hello, Banana Bus Squad," she started, "I have a little message from the leaders of 7th street. First off, you'll never win so there's no point in even trying. We're more powerful and stronger than you'll ever be. Also, hi Evan. Did you miss me? I'm sure you did. The last thing I wanted to address is that we have your brother...(Y/N)? I think that's what your name was. If you want him to see the light of day ever again you'll have to come get him. Until then, goodbye!"

I growled under my breathe. 7th street is relentless. They won't stop until they get what they want. But we'll make sure they don't get that privilege.

"I thought I killed her!" Evan said, frustrated. He stormed off and Nogla went after him. I sighed. 7th street is really taking a tole on this whole group, and I was really looking to put a stop to that.
