Mikaela looked over her watch. It's been 30 minutes. And Rachel has not returned. She paced back and forth. Millions of questions are flowing through her mind. Where is Rachel? What is she doing? Why is she taking so long? Did something happen to her? That last thought hit her hard. She walked to the door.
"Where are you going?" Nathan said. Looking over at a worried Mikaela. Mikaela took a deep breath and looked over at Nathan and Marcus.
She needs answers. She needs to know where Rachel got herself into. Did she get kidnapped? One of her new questions. She needs to check it out herself. Everyone in Mekolan fears her. Adore her. Wishes that they got into her good side. Praying that she doesn't kill her. Beg her for forgiveness, for mercy, for life.
"She is taking far too long. Something is wrong. And I need to know what." Mikaela replied.
"Would you want us to come with you?" Nathan said. He stopped his watch at 12:45pm. He walked over to Mikaela, towering over her. Mikaela smiled and looked over at Marcus. Hoping he would come and save Rachel from what situation she got in.
"It's okay. I'll stay back here, I'm too old for this teenager's drama" Marcus said. He took another sip of his coffee.
Mikaela and Nathan looked at each other and smiled at Marcus. Nathan opened the door and they got out of the apartment. They walked down the stairs, to the streets. What they witness is more horrifying. More homeless people. Kicked out of their homes. Mikaela was told that the house bills increased drastically. Even though that didn't change anything for her, what she is scared for are the people. If the bills have increased, that means the food price has increased too.
Mikaela, feeling pity for them, walked over some homeless people and passed them some bread. They desperately snatch the bread and eat it as quickly as they can. They weren't just hungry, they were starving. Nathan tapped Mikaela's shoulders, signalling her that it's time to go.
Mikaela and Nathan walked around the entire block, searching for Rachel. Maybe there is a clue. Maybe they could ask for help. The more it took to find Rachel, the more Mikaela started to get desperate.
Mikaela ran around the entire neighbourhood. Asking everyone if they've seen Rachel or have any glimpse of her. She ran around the entire block, doing the exact same thing. But nothing was working. Mikaela went from desperate, to frustration. What if she is too late? What if they've found her and taken her hostage? What if-
"Don't worry Mikaela, we will find her together" Nathan said. He placed his hand over her shoulders trying to calm her down. Mikaela looked at him, and took a deep breath. She continues to search for Rachel.
Nathan was walking being Mikaela. While at it, he found many flyers. Flyers telling the neighbourhood that the bills and the price of the food and the house has increased by 75 percent. He looks at his bank account and sighs in relief.
They heard banging and screaming. They looked at each other and ran towards the noise. Mikaela started to run frantically. What did Rachel get herself into?
"A FIGHT? Oh hell no, she isn't ready for that!!" Mikaela said. While running beside Nathan. Nathan ran at the same pace as Mikaela and he said looking forwards, "But the big question is, how did she get involved?" They ran as fast as they could to the sound. The closer they were, the more banging they heard.
Marcus was watching the television while washing his cup. He looked over his watch and said, "I wonder how long they're gonna take". He continues to hear the news while washing his cup.
As soon as he finished washing his cup he heard the news saying, "Today we have found a stowaway in Mekolan, whoever finds the person will be awarded with a vast amount of fortune that will supply you for 35 years. Those who find the person, will be awarded". Marcus drops his remote control. "It's time" Marcus said.
Mikaela and Nathan ran towards the noise. They took out their weapons and they witnessed Rachel standing her ground. They were in disbelief. Rachel was hitting the gang with a metal bat. Swinging it not frantically but with precision and skill. But Mikaela noticed that she cannot keep this up.
Rachel got a punch to the gut and almost lost her foot to the ground. Mikaela looked at Nathan, signalling him that it is time. Nathan nodded and they walked in to save Rachel.
The gang laughed, some screaming while trying to get the bat. Some were walking towards the child and the child tried to prevent herself from getting caught in their grasps. They slowly creeped towards the girl while the others tries to kill Rachel.
Rachel covered her eyes and as soon as he went for the kill. His hand was stopped by Mikaela. "Hello" She said and sliced his arm. The guy gasped and moaned in pain. He covered the wound and the whole gang realised it was Mikaela and Nathan.
"You okay?" Mikaela asked. Rachel nods. Mikaela and Nathan looked at the gang and they got ready for a fight.
