Lost day's

CHAPTER FIVE:

*Jeremiah sprints towards the front door after he finishes filling up his duffle bag with supplies and sees that It's dark outside. Jeremiah starts to panic a little until he sees a small campfire in the distance where they were going to meet back up at. Jeremiah then dash up the dunes of the wasteland trying to get to the meeting point hoping that James was still there waiting for him. But as soon as Jeremiah reached the top of the dunes he saw two sets of car headlights that illuminated the area and when Jeremiah noticed James tied up and beaten to a bloody pulp by the bandits around him. When Jeremiah got closer to the camp he heard one of the bandits yell where's the boy! If you tell us where he is, we'll leave you be. Then James replied with you'll never find him he's long gone by now, so even if I told you it won't do you any good."*

     Okay Gramps if that's how you feel then let's see if we can jog the short term memory of yours. The bandit pulls out a hand crafted pistol from his holster and then starts to beat James with it. Blood flies as the gun hits his face repeatedly then the bandit yells do you remember now! Where's the boy or so help me this won't end well for you. James stayed quiet then he looked up at the bandit and spit in his face then said oh yeah I remember... I remember not telling you a got damn thing. Okay I see you're still quite the jokester as always. The bandit puts the gun to James Head and then he pulls back the hammer of the gun and says let's see if you still got jokes when your brain is scattered all over this fucking wasteland. That's when Jeremiah couldn't take it any more, so he jumped up and yelled stop hurting him! The bandit glanced at Jeremiah's direction. Aww Jeremiah Jones well isn't this just a magnificent surprise. We were just talking about you, ain't that right James.
     Jeremiah continues to yell "please just let him go!" alright... fine but first let me take care of some loose ends. The bandit squeezed the gun tighter and just before he could shoot, the pistol was knocked out of his hand and broke into pieces when it hit the ground by a rock that was flying by so fast that we almost didn't see where the rock came from. Then another one whizzed by and smacked the bandit right in the eye. The rock hit him hard enough that blood slowly dripped through his hand covering his eye and down his face. The bandit shrieks in pain and falls to the ground, the other bandits react in slight fear and then runs towards their leader to pick him up and toss him right in the back of their truck. They then drove off without a second thought and they disappeared into the darkness. Unc and I looked around for the person who saved us but there was no one to be found then unc looked at me and said we can't stay here. We have to find a place to hide out for the night. We walked for a while until we found a broken down store that had been abandoned for a while. Unc quickly glanced around the area and said that this will have to do for tonight but we have to move fast when the sun comes out. Hey unc do you want to tell me what was that all about back there and why did that bandit know my full name? Like it was the first and the last man, do you even know how creepy that was? Yeah that was strange I don't know how he knew and I don't know why they were looking for you either. The only thing I can remember is that I was at our meet up spot waiting on you to get back. Then out of nowhere those bandits pulled up in their trucks shouting they were looking for a kid. I thought they were looking for you so I didn't say anything that might lead them to you so I just stayed quiet. They knocked me out and when I came to I was tied up and beaten as you can see this the end result.
     Yeah I saw most of it and you're in very bad shape, here let me look at your bruises I managed to find some medkits and some painkillers that might help. Hey JJ you seem to always know what to do when it comes to these types of things how is that? I just know the basics from helping Jacob everytime he gets hurt and corn gets hurt a lot. Plus most of the injuries I've seen are pretty basic, well except for my little brother eye I guess. All I have to do for you is put some rubbing alcohol on a clean piece of fabric and rub on the bruises so I can clean up the area. I'll have to make sure that you would need stitches or not. Okay I'm done, luckily your bruises wasn't cut that deep so you don't need stitches, That's good because I didn't find that much to begin with. Alright now that you're all patch up just take a few painkillers to numb the pain and you'll be good to go for tomorrow. Well damn Doctor JJ  you did one hell of a job if I do say so myself. Alright now let's get some shut eye and get ready for tomorrow. Yeah but for right now we should get some rest.
