Amy's point of view: Park Me and Trinity split up and have been collecting wheat from around the park. I went to a side that seems to have most of the wheat and I hear a scream and it sounds like Trinity.. I gasp and rush to the sound but soon it stops.. I can't hear it anymore and I keep trying to look but cannot find her anywhere in the park. I head back to the car very worried and stressed now. Apartments I rush inside and set down the bag of wheat in the kitchen. "Paul... I lost Trinity. I am so sorry! I think someone took her.. she was screaming and.. I.. Im sorry" He freezes and looks frozen in time and then grabs his gun. "I'm going to find her then." And he storms out and takes the truck and speeds off. I sigh and can't even focus on separating the wheat kernels so I sit on the stool. A teenager tries to comfort me but I pretend I'm fine. Her and Paul saved us from our toxic lives and I let her get taken. Why am I so stupid?
Paul's point of view: I go in the direction where they described the park and as i turn a corner i see the park, I search around for hours and notice tire marks on the road. I look around and decide that i won't be able to find her without something advanced, like a police tracking system. I start to head back as I sigh and I cover up the truck before I head upstairs, I notice the teenagers have gotten a lot of work done. I find Amy and sit next to her. "Hey, don't stress too much we will find her okay?" I rub her shoulder. "But something that would be very helpful is maybe fixing up cameras around the city and figuring out a system to find her" Amy looks up and toward Scott. "We know the camera route, and I found out one of the teenagers is a technology nerd so we could maybe use his help to work on the camera system.. but it is going to take days, maybe weeks" I sigh and nod. "Let's do it. Thank you guys." I stand up and walk out of their room and head to my room. I walk over to the closet and take the cats out.
Trin's point of view: I slowly wake up and notice i'm in a dark room tied against a pole. I look toward a door and see a buff soldier standing there. I see him open the door and whisper something to someone. I gulp and a few minutes later I see a tall girl walk out. "You're awake.. good, now I know two of my soldiers, along with kids got taken a bit ago. I believe you know about that don't you" She says with a smirk as she kneels down and stares in my eyes. I stare back not knowing what to say. "I don't know what you're talking about.. I was just with my friend, we've been surviving on our own" I see her looking dead into my eyes and she shrugs and stands up. "Guess we will have to find them on our own, If you don't do what we say we will kill you, no hesitation" I nod and she walks out and I see the soldier walk out and lock the door behind him. I see a window by the door and see a long hallway with lots of doors. I watch for hours memorizing any type of person that walks by, I see kids in this place too..
Two weeks Later: Trinity has completely memorized what goes on here and they've made her do simple chores around here and she managed to swipe a knife. Everyone back at the Apartments have been working on staying low-key in the city and have been working on cameras and a good computer system.
Today seemed different. Two guards lead me out of the room and i look as they open a door and i see the streets of the city. I feel them shove me and suddenly i hear gunshots and i feel a sharp pain in my leg and i fall to the ground. I slowly turn to see a guard on the ground and then see the other one get shot in the head and fall. I turn and see Paul, Amy and Scott rushing toward me. "How d-did you find m-" I slowly close my eyes as i feel Paul lifting me off the ground and i whimper from the pain and slowly drift into sleep.
Amy's point of view: I got the bullet out of Trinity's leg and have been taking care of the wound and cleaning it. I see Trinity start to wake up and I rub her arm. "Hey.. you feeling okay?" She nods and tries to sit up and I tell her she needs to rest. Scott goes to get Paul and I watch as he rushes over to hug her. I smile and get up to go make her and everyone else some food. Everyone comes in and eats and they all hug Trinity and welcome her back. Everyone takes a week of just enjoying each others company.
Bella and Ryan get very close by spending a lot of time together, talking. The teenage girls end up getting somewhat close but there's still secrets like Sarah liking Cole. The boys managed to start up a computer in their room where they take turns playing Zelda. The nerd of the group, Brandon, enjoyed the games too much! Paul supports Trinity and she gets better for the most part, still in pain and sore. Their kittens are starting to grow a bit and get smarter since it has been almost a month of having them. October is rolling around and it is almost Paul and Trinitys 3 years. Trinity is 20 and Paul is almost 21. Scott and Amy want to settle down and have a kid or two but they don't know if it is time yet. It has been about a month since Paul and Trinity moved into this city. It has been stressful but they've found many people and have struggled through a lot.
Trin's point of view: I get out of my bed and stretch before I walk up to Paul as he is on the computer looking at the camera around the city. "Hey babe.." He turns around in the chair and softly wraps his arms around me and lays his head on my stomach. "You're almost 21 that's crazy.. we will need to celebrate!" I giggle and look down at him. "With alcohol" I see him smile and I hear the door open and see Amy and Scott walk in. "Hey guys! What's up?" I turn to them and they look awkward. They start to explain how they want to completely settle down, they want kids. I smile "Oh my god this is amazing! Of course you can.. I think we could make it work. We can take everyone and maybe walk so it is less noise.. maybe go get some swimsuits or something and give you two some time alone." I feel Amy hug me and i hug back and smile. I go and tell the girls to start to get ready to walk to go shopping, the girls get excited and Paul tells the boys. The boys groan at the word shopping. I laugh as I meet back up with Paul and we head to the room and start to get ready. Amy and Scott let the kids know about the walk and shopping. I put on sweatpants, a t-shirt and a hoodie with some tennis shoes. After about a hour everyone meets up in the lobby of the Apartment.
"Okay.. i have these walkie talkies.. One for the girls, One for the boys, Bella you okay with hanging with the girls?" She nods and smiles and walks over by Sarah. "Ryan?" He shrugs and walks over with the boys and they fist bump him. I smile. "Okay now that we got communication and groups we are good!" I make sure they all understand how to use the device and then we find a back door and take all the low-key routes and start to head to stores that we've gathered from online maps.
Scott's point of view: This may sound selfish but the past few years have just been soldier life, I love Amy and I have been waiting for a moment to fully bond with her, to live a life with her. I smile as me and Amy get dressed into comfy clothes. "God it feels so good not to wear all that heavy padding and shit" I laugh and lay next to Amy in the bed. I feel her cuddle up to me, we lay together for probably an hour. I turn to her and slowly grab her hand and lead her to the balcony, we look out at the river and I look at her with a smile and she looks over and says "What?" I chuckle and look down and then back up at her. "You're beautiful.. I'm so glad we can have this time together" I feel her move against me and I hold my arms around her and look down in her eyes. I slowly lean in and softly press my lips on hers. "I love you" I say softly and she tells me she loves me back and we softly start to kiss and as the kissing gets deeper I press her against the fencing of the balcony.
A couple hours go by and Amy and Scott have the most bonding experience ever. Everyone else ends up finding Plenty of clothes, luckily they brought a few suitcases. The girls ended up finding some makeup and hair stuff too! The guys end up finding some video games, books and more. Paul ends up finding a full on ring.

Trinity doesn't know that he found this, she's been keeping a close eye on everyone and finding things for herself and finding baby stuff including a few pregnancy tests. They finish up and make their way back and once they get back it is dark out. Everyone takes their things to their rooms and gets the stuff put away. After a few hours everyone heads to sleep.
