My mother and grandma lead us in to the tent were the army men are spread out checking bags, making groups, making records, and other stuff.

We walk up to a table were they take our names and how many are in our group.

Next we are escorted to a table and medal detector.

"Please place any medal objects including weapons in to the bin then walk through " the soldier says rushing us I remove the gun front my pant and put my bag in the bin and walk through the detector.

" Clear " a man on the other side say handing me my bag after inspecting it.

" My gun please " I say putting my hand out to the soldier.

" No weapons on the helicopter " he states plainly.

" What? " I say about to get into a heated argument.

" Riley listen to him " my mom says shaking her head.

I exhale loudly and roll my eyes. As I wait on the other side for the rest of the group.

" Hey were ok see nothing to worry about " Axel says poking my side. I just elbow him and roll my eyes.

" Someone has an attitude " he says laughing.

" Do not " I state flatly.

You better no say it. I think in my head.

" Do. Too. " I say adding emphasis smiling lightly.

" Do not " I say frustrated.

" Do too " he says cheesing hard.

" Do not " I say even louder.

" Do.. "

" Will you to quit it " my mom says rubbing her temples.

We go through a few more security stations and then are put into groups to board the helicopter.

" Okay the helicopters come every twenty minutes and all go to the same place, a safe haven out west once the copter is here the first group will bored then so on and so forth. " The solder states like he has been saying it all day.

" Okay thank you " my mom says as we all get in a close group.

" Okay the Carter's, Sam, Isaac, and Jake will be getting on the first one and the rest will get on the second. Ok. " My mom says shaking her head looking around to all of us.

I pull the twins and Jake to the side for second to talk with them.

" You guys are going to be fine we are right behind you okay " I say trying to give a smile. This was the part I was most worried about.

" Yeah we will be fine and we'll you you soon " Sam says smiling.

I pull them in for a quick hug and squeeze them tight.

They were my family. All of them were, maybe even Hannah. They are all I have and I couldn't have it any other way.

Axel wraps is arms around my waist and kisses the top of my head as we watch the first group board the helicopter I wave to them until the are no longer visible.

" Only 20 minutes " Axel whispers in my ear.

" Only 20 minutes " I say back to him breathing out.
