We walked past many more trees, looking for the smoke, I also had to try
to keep Diego from falling behind. It was tough, but as we got closer we heard more and more screaming and guns firing back and forth. Once we arrived at the tree house, fire was everywhere and I told Diego to hide behind a huge rock or a bunch of plants. I gave him a gun and a telescope and I left. I ran towards Tico's Jet and went inside. The emergency lights were on and I saw blood coming from one side of the wall. It was a man in all black with a machine gun lying down next to him. He had been shot in the neck. I had to keep looking for them. I shouted their names multiple times, but there was no response. I began to worry about them. Finally, I saw Benny, he was running at me and shouted "Dora run!" And then I saw why. An explosion occurred in the left wing of the jet. I ran out with him and he got shot in the leg on the way out and fell to the ground. I picked him up and tried to walk with him but I was worried about the rest. Then Diego came out and took Benny from me and said "Go get the others I'll stay with Benny." ,So I left. I heard Issa's scream by the tree house and ran as fast as I could, I climbed up the tree house ladder and as soon as I got up it broke. I was hanging there for a couple of seconds but lifted myself up in time. I then saw Issa laying down on the wooden floor in his old treehouse. I cried. She had been shot in her chest. I hoped it was not in the heart. Then I looked down at her. I picked her up and walked towards the escape exit. I carried her with both my arms, her back in one arm her legs in the other. Once I got out I ran into the forest. The jet blew up in flames, once I got into the forest. The four of us were alone in the forest. I asked them where the rest of them were and they said that they ran into the forest too, but in the other direction. Sooner or later the group of Swiper's men would come looking for us so we had to find the others before they all either got killed or captured. I was worried about all of them. Grandma, Tico, Elisia, Boots... Even the people with me. They were all hurt. Even me, not physically but on the inside I was slowly dying, losing hope, I have just lost this battle. And there are many more to come.
