Silence met my remarks as the men turned around and started to head back to where the offramp was. We ignored the screams of people as they begged for help, running as quickly as we could to a safe-ish area. The people that could run with us, some begging us to take them and others cursing us for not caring about their safety or for not taking them to a safe area.
Mind you, as far as I was concerned, there were no safe areas left in the world. Well, there was one left, and I was counting down the minutes until I could return to it. I scanned the area to my left and right as we ran down the highway. We needed to get off of it because even if the explosion from the jet fuel did not kill us, it would send off a chain reaction to all of the cars still on the highway.
