''Can we please take a break?'' Lui asked looking at them all, Evan looked back then sighed looking at Jon who stopped, Jon looked down the road then back at them ''We shouldn't be stopping here, especially because it's night.'' Jon commented mad and they looked at him ''We're tired.'' Tyler said while Craig got help to sit down from Brian while Brock already sat. Jon stayed standing looking both ways on the road, Evan walked over to him ''Let me look at your arm.'' he said and Jon looked at him ''No, it's fine.'' he said and crossed his arm's flinching a bit ''It could be infected.'' Jon sighed and uncrossed his arms letting Evan have a look at it.

''See it's fine.'' he said looking at it, Evan could see it was red around the edges and looked at him ''It's infected.'' Jon looked at it grabbing the cloth ''It's fine, don't worry about it.'' Evan stopped him from walking away ''I noticed a slight limp when you walked, what happened?'' Jon sighed and faced him ''I was shot in the leg by soldiers who didn't care for anyone at the time.'' Evan looked at him a bit shocked ''How many people were you with?'' Jon looked at him seeing into his eyes ''Five.'' he stated after thinking for a bit. They were quiet for a while before joining the others on the side of the road.

Jonathan couldn't stop looking down the street ''Do you think they got lost?'' he asked and turned to the others ''Possible.'' Brian commented looking threw one of their bag's ''How possible?'' he paused thinking then looked at him ''Low.'' Brian said noticing his mistake of words, Jon looked down the road again ''Let's get moving.'' Brock said getting up and started walking, again not waiting for them. Brian hurried to catch up with him so the others followed after them, as they were walking down the road they noticed some cars ahead of them in the distance, Lui picked up speed getting to the cars first and looked inside ''Their empty.'' he announced to the group as they approached, Tyler looked inside some with Craig and as Evan got closer he felt odd.

Jon stopped and looked back at him seeing him looking around ''What?'' Evan looked to the sides in the trees then in front of them where Lui was about to step ''Lui!'' he yelled running over, he tackled Lui pushing him over the trip wire that was barely visible, the other's stopped while Evan helped Lui stand, he looked around before walking over cutting the wire ''How did you see that?'' Brock asked a bit shocked ''Shit.'' Jon pulled his gun out while Evan turned and they saw Lui with a gun to his head hands up ''Hello.'' someone in a mask said behind him, two more people came out of the trees and their leader pushed Lui forward letting them have him, Jon then felt something against his back ''Drop it.'' they turned back looking at Jon who put the gun out to the side letting them take it.

''You're smart.'' the guy stated stepping forward looking Evan right in the face ''You the leader of this small group?'' he asked looking at the others ''Yes.'' he guessed and the guy looked at him ''I'll be taking everything you people have, I'm sure with a smart leader like you they'll find more things along the way.'' he said and held out his hand, they all sighed giving up their things, the four then backed away, their leader waved goodbye before they went into the woods, Evan turned around looking at them all then looked down ''We just let them take everything?'' Tyler questioned a bit concerned ''What were we supposed to do?'' Evan asked and continued to walk, the other's followed behind him looking to where the group disappeared.

Tyler pulled Craig along as fast as he could getting to Evan ''You do realize they could come back and take someone right? What if they didn't even have ammo?'' Tyler said stating facts, Craig just stayed quiet being to tired to give his input on the whole thing ''Someone will keep watch tonight.'' Evan explained not looking back at him ''What if they decide to kill who ever's on watch?" Evan stopped and sighed looking ahead of them ''They said we might find stuff up ahead there's probably a truck stop or something.'' he explained looking at Tyler ''They could've been lying.'' Tyler added and Evan saw how tired Craig was almost falling from Tyler's arm ''I'm hoping they weren't.'' he said and turned continuing the walk down the long highway road.
