Did You Really Save Me

Chapter Fifty-One

Max POV

Kyle and I make our way through the third floor of the building looking for the book. He speaks up through the earpiece. "I have a feeling they created more than one book so if you mind multiple then grab them all. We need to make sure that we get the right one." "Rightio" "Sure" "Alright."

"Do you know what area we might have a better chance of finding the book in?" I question, Kyle thinks for a moment. "Not particularly, my parents always moved the book around every few days so it was never in the same place for long. They created copies as well so it's going to be a tough time trying to find the real one." "Don't worry, we'll find it." He smiles over at me. "Found one!" Blasts through our earpiece and we both flinch at the loudness of Benjamin's voice.

"Did you have to say it so loudly Ben?" Steve complains, Kyle and I laugh. "I just wanted everyone to know!" Benjamin chirps back happily.

--------------------

After about half an hour we have found about seven of them. "Is this all of them Kyle?" Connor asks through the earpiece. "Not yet Connor, still one more." We all get back to searching before an alarming message comes through our earpieces. "You guys may want to hurry up," Xavier's voice rings out. "We have some unwanted company at the base of the building," Lucas continues, "it looks like they are placing..." There was a pause for a second making us all nervous, "FUCK!" Steve's voice comes through, "they are placing fucking bombs, you guys need to get out of there right now! No protests, nothing! Get your asses out! We will ping em down so fucking move!" Caleb roars into our ears.

"You heard Caleb, let's get out now!" Levi commands through the earpieces. Kyle and I are on the highest level and we are running down the stairs when we hear a bang! comes from downstairs. The house shakes and starts to crumble, the roof starts coming down and we continue to run down the stairs as fast as we can. A piece of the ceiling falls down and hits Kyle in the head, knocking him unconscious. "Kyle!" Howl out in alarm, racing down the stairs to see if he was badly hurt. Not noticing that the whole third story was crumbling down. I glance to my left and find a book open with KKM carved into it. I reach over and grab it.

I look upward and notice the rest of the building collapsing, I lean down and grab Kyle and pull him onto my back and run as fast as I can down the rest of the stairs. Just before I can reach the door another piece of the ceiling falls down and hits me on the head striking me unconscious as well. The rest of the building falls on top of Kyle and I as we lay on the ground knocked out.
