"What did you do? I told you not to hurt her." 

"Why wouldn't I? She was hurting you. She always hurt you."

"So I-I loved her."

"Love? Do you even know what that means? Love is nothing but a saying. It is irrelevant." 

"No, it isn't I love her and my mom dad and also my brother."

"Mom? Was that your mom downstairs?"

"What did you do to her?"

"Stop hitting me."

"Scarlet!"

My eyes fluttered open. The images of my father's death and that monster opened a deep wound in my heart. Everything went by so quickly. I killed two people on my team and possibly my father. What the hell do I do now? There is no point in anything. I grabbed a hand full of grass in anger. 

Grass? I looked around and saw nothing but trees. The thick jacket I slipped off after sitting in a chair next to my father was zipped up. When did I do that? When I black out I know I can walk up to two miles from where I can remember but the countryside was at least twenty miles out.

The sun is going down. It will start to get colder soon. I started walking then I heard something behind me. 

"Hey don't move."

He zipped tied my wrists and walked me back in the other direction. 

"Where are you taking me?"

"Away from here."

It felt like we were walking for hours. My legs went weak and he caught me before I hit the ground.

"Are you ok?"

I gave him a thumbs up and he picked me up over his shoulder. 

"We are almost there."

Another thirty minutes go by (at least that's what it felt like) and he finally sat me down on something hard.

"There you go."

"Wait where did they come from?"

"They have been behind us the whole time."

The only person I recognized was the girl. She was the one who kinda stood up for me... I think... I really don't remember.

"Oh come on you really don't remember us? We were all in the same room when Dayan and Joseph almost fought."

He scratched his head then said "you have a really bad memory. My name is Malcolm and this is my little brother and sister Aaron and Olive."

"Oh hi."

"Since she knows who her kidnappers are now shall we go? Aaron asked annoyed.

"Why are you in a hurry?"

"Because of Olive its getter so cold out here."

"He is right we need to hurry and get back to Wisconsin or at least halfway."

"Why are we going back up there?"

"To go back to base why else?"

"No, I can't leave my father....."

"We are fully aware of what happened to your father."

"You are? How?"

How much did they know? How did they find out?

"Look all your questions will be answered soon...well once we get back to base."

"No, I must find my father."
