This Means War

I nodded. "Ok, sounds like a plan. In the mean time, we should probably get back to our cabin." I looked up at Sam then down at my feet as we continued to walk. "Seeing as the entire food hall is in chaos, they might try to-- Oh, I don't know. Put us on lock down or something? They're Jaxlors and they're supposed to be sending us out tomorrow so we should be on our toes."

This Means War

"Right... Ok. Should we go later tonight?" I asked. "I don't know if it's a good idea to just barge back in. But if you think he won't mind, then I'm down. We could probably take a lot more than a map." I paused. "I mean, I have no clue what that sorry excuse for a General has in there, but he might have something useful."

This Means War

"I don't know. We can't go home. That's too far." I shrugged. "We could just find a new base. Or if we're close to a city we can go there. I've never really had to be on the run like this so I don't know, man." I looked up at him, wondering if he had any ideas. "You're a smart guy. I'm pretty sure you can think of something. Or we could just become forest people and hunt for our food." I smirked.

This Means War

"Ok, that sounds good." I nodded, thinking things over and taking everything in. "When we're done with this, we need to stock up on food and water. Hide it... All that good stuff." My mind was racing with all sorts of things. I wasn't sure if this plan would work. I wasn't really sure of anything. I just knew I wanted to survive this whole thing without too much damage. "I hope we don't catch anyone at this little escape hole thing. Lord knows I do not want to see that." I mumbled.

This Means War

I bit my lip, thinking for a moment. "We can check it out... Only if you're up for it." I nodded at him. "And if it's safe, we can go. But we're gonna need to find a map of this place, get supplies, weapons, jackets. All that stuff." I took a few steps towards him. "If you think it's safe, then I believe you."

This Means War

"To hook up? You mean where people to go--" I paused, "Never mind. Who's the guy that told you? Can we trust him? What if he was a Jaxlor trying to get you caught? Why in the world would he tell you that?" I was shooting a million questions at Sam. I didn't mean to, but I was curious. If we were going to do this, I wanted us to be safe. I didn't want to mess up and get killed. "Do you think he was lying?" Now I Was the one beginning to panic. "I just want to think this whole thing through."

This Means War

I noticed Sam start to ramble, which meant he was in a slight panic. "Hey, hey, hey." I started, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Relax. We'll be alright..." I said, more to assure myself than him. I didn't know what the hell we were going to do. But if I broke down and cried like I did earlier, we wouldn't get anything done. "We can trust Christy and the rest. But how can we get out of here without getting caught? I mean, I'd love to escape. I was all for it about half an hour ago. But knowing this new information, I don't want to get shot down. I don't know how anything is going to work. But if you've got an idea on how to do this, I'm all ears."

This Means War

"Well he also said he called for backup on the General's phone last night. I don't know how he did it, but he managed to sneak into his office without being caught. Troops will be here tomorrow to help us. They're supposedly bringing tanks, helicopters, and all that junk." I shoved my hands into my pockets. I was being extremely calm for some reason and I had no clue why. "I also don't know how he knows all of this. But he said not to trust anyone. We either find a way out of here or we stay put and wait for help. Other than that, we're out of luck."

This Means War

"Nothing good that's for sure." I looked up at Sam then down at my hands. "The man in the cell... He said this place is crawling with undercover Jaxlors and they infiltrated the camp months ago." I whispered. "They're everywhere. Guards, soldiers, you name it. They're blending in with us to gain information. I guess they got what they wanted because they're sending us out tomorrow. General doesn't know a thing." I finished.

This Means War

Once I'd noticed Sam was done talking with the guards and out of the way, I spun around and began to pick up my pace. My heart was racing from the news I'd just head. I was scared and worried. I had no clue what was happened. I had no clue who we could trust? What if we had Jaxlors in our dorms with us? They could try to kill us in our sleep if they wanted to. "Hey, Sam!" I called, just loud enough for him to hear me.
