Chapter 12 - Home Part.1

"We gotta go home or something man"

"Look I understand that but it's probably flooded with news trucks"

"F***...F***"

"Look man you gotta chill-"

"CHILL? WE JUST GOT LABELED AS TERRORISTS THERE'S POLICE EVERYWHERE"

I was in full panic mode

My entire life is ruined

"It's our only option… remember that big tree near the building?"

"Yeah, so what?"

"It's like right near my room"

The sound of a truck got closer

"SH**, EVERYONE HIDE, JORDYN YOU DRIVE"

I hopped in the truck while everyone else hid in the backseat

"I don't know how to drive-"

"JORDYN YOU KIDDING ME?"

A train like horn blared

"HEY YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE"

The car swerved and screeched as we scratched the side of something

"MY TRUCK!"

Welp

That's what it was….

.

.

.

.

.

They parked it in some random mcdonald's parking lot

"God I hate that trunk"

Helicopters whirred over

It was like the city was occupied

Swat trucks K9 dogs, police cars even the NY national guard-

wait...

"THE MILITARY'S HERE?"I scream-whispered

"OH WE'RE F***ED" Brooklynn also scream-whispered

"But where do we go?"

"THE SUBWAY"

Me and Brooklynn hid in our sweaters

Azura was kinda out of ideas

"Just Go to the cops and say we let you go you were no use to us"

"Ouch that's harsh'

"I don't mean it to be but you're probably gonna get obliterated if you stay with us"

"That makes sense"

A police car pulled up to the parking lot

"Go!"

She ran to the cops, crying

"We better go"

.

.

.

.

.

We Began to walk through the subway

It was quiet as there were fewer people than usual

The sound of a man playing the trumpet lingered through the large systems

As radios blared out as Officers looked around their assault rifles holstered on their chests

….

we walked to the turnstiles

tap tap tap

"Sir please remove your hood "

It was an Officer

"Why?"

"Have you not heard what's going on?"

"No, I haven't

He sighed

"You'd think the way you guys are on your phone…"

I tried to walk away

"Hey!"

The officer grabbed my hoodie

….

"Oh sh**"
