"All crime in now illegal. Have fun"
That's when I started running to my hideout.
It wasn't that far actually. I just had to run next door. My hiding spot is in my neighbors tree house in their front yard. I've been hiding there since I was 15, the first time I had to kill.
I get to the tree house and climb up the ladder. When I get in, I see a basket full of food and a little note. There have never been food here before. These people didn't even know I hide up here.
I crawl over to the food and pick up the note. It read:
Hi Zayn
Your probably wondering why there's food in here. Well, me and my family found out you have been hiding in here for the last 4 years. You have been doing a great job of keeping us safe and were very grateful.
We want you to do good this week. To fight and survive, so we left you this basket of food. There's at least 4 water bottles in there, 2 bottles of coke, some apples and oranges, a bag of bread and a bag of cheetos with 3 boxes of pizza.
We hope that's enough for you, if not were sorry.
Please be safe Zayn.

I placed the note in my jacket pocket and looked at the food they gave me. They actually did this for me. I'll make sure to thank them once this is all over.
I crawl over to the little window that was in the tree house. I looked around and saw no one so far. I looked at my watch and its only been 12 minutes since this started.
Wow, time is going kind of quick, I thought.
I once again crawl over to the basket of my food and drinks and pull out a water bottle. Just a little thirsty.
I sit back down at my place by the window. I keep checking if anyone is out there, but not yet. Hopefully no one comes soon or comes up here.
I was really happy when I stayed up here. It has a perfect view to see my house and to see if anyone is getting hurt on the street. Really great tree house.
I drink some water and put the cap back on my water bottle. Just like that, I remember dad putting something In my pocket.
I slide my hand into my pocket, and pull out the small object. I stare at it for awhile, until I finally realize what it was. Dad would put this in my pocket.
It was a ear piece.
I put it on and all I heard was nothing. I did not know how to work one of these.
"Hello?" I whisper, not wanting anyone to hear me. Except for my family.
"Zayn?!" I hear a familiar voice.
"Yeah Safaa, its me" I tell her.
"One minute, let me get the rest of the family" She tells me.
I wait for a little awhile until I hear her soft little voice again.
"Okay, back Zaynie"
I smile at the nickname she calls me.
"Okay, Safaa can the rest of the family hear me?" I ask.
"Yeah, they can hear you"
I chuckle a bit "Okay good"
"Zayn" I hear Doniya's voice "are you ok? Have you killed yet?"
