Chapter 1
It was midnight, Walter was sitting in the garage and tapping his pencil on the desk, as Ralph sleeps soundly. Walter has been working on an old project for over 2 hours, after Ralph went to bed after their fun night. Paige was hanging out with some old friends, so she asked Walter to watch Ralph for her. Well, he volunteered.
CRASH!
Walter and Ralph jumped up at the same time. They both looked down to see a rock on the table. Ralph slowly gets up from the couch and walks over to Walter. Walter grabs his hand and puts Ralph behind him. "Ralph, when I count to 3 I want you to run, grab my phone, and hide until I say to come out ok," Walter said.
Ralph looked at his father figure, "W…Why?"
"1."
"2."
Suddenly a person hopped out of the window with a knife, "3!" Ralph suddenly grabs Walter's phone and sprints to the back of the garage. He hid behind a cart with Happy's tools, and peaked to see what his mentor was doing. His eyes widened at what he saw, he grabbed Walter's phone and started to record what he saw.
Walter tackled the bad guy to the ground and they were throwing punches at each other. The man rolled on top of Walter, pinned him to the ground and started to punch him. Suddenly, he grabbed his knife and stabbed Walter hard in the arm. Walter screamed in pain.
The man got off of Walter and headed towards Ralph. Ralph slowly walked backwards. "Boss will be proud to see me when I bring him his bait," The man wickedly smiled, as he got his knife ready to strike. Ralph scared to death felt his back hit Walter's car, still recording what was happing.
The man raised his weapon ready to strike. Suddenly, Walter tackles the guy to the ground, and started to swing. "Ralph Run," yelled Walter.
Ralph ran into Walter's car and locked the doors. And Heard Walter and the bad guy wrestling.
BANG!
Ralph looked out the window so the phone could see the bad guy was pinned to the wall and Walter kept him there. The man punched Walter hard above his eye. Walter stumbled backwards with his hand over his right side of his face, groaning.
"Ha weakling," the man said.
Walter suddenly looked up.
Blood was all over the right side of his face. Walter tackles him to the ground and was punching. The man tried to get out of his grip. He pushed Walter off of him and scrambled up, seeing Walter was having trouble getting up, he rushed to the car to see Ralph looking at him.
"Boss will be happy." He smiled wickedly.
Ralph slowly moved away from the door.
"There is nowhere to ru..."
BANG!
The man falls to the ground. Right behind him was Walter with a piece of medal. Walter then, bends down to see if the man was still alive.
"Still has a pulse," Walter muttered.
"What are we going to do," Ralph questioned from inside the car as, he stopped the video.
"We can't stay here, he will wake up in about 10 min," Walter answered.
"Where are we going to go?"
Walter smiled and said "I know a place."
Walter gets up and grabs his backpack and fills it with some food, bottled water, and his laptop. He grabbed a piece of paper and pencil and wrote something down. He then headed to the car.
Ralph unlocked the door for Walter.
Walter, gets in the car, starts it, and leaves the garage.
"Walter?" Ralph turned his head toward Walter.
"Hmm?" Walter did not turn to look at Ralph.
"What... What did you put on the note?"
"A code only Cabe knows," Walter takes a quick glance at Ralph. "Why?"
"Well, I was just wondering how the team will find us," Ralph turned and looked out the window. Walter turned the right blinker on. Ralph turned and looked at Walter again. He looked down at Walter's arm and let out a small gasp.
"Walter?" Ralph sounded concurred.
Walter suddenly looked at Ralph, "Everything ok buddy?"
"Yo... Your ar... arm looks really... Bad." Ralph softly touched Walter's wound. Walter winced in pain and let out a quite groan. Ralph instantly removed his hand.
"Sorry!"
"It's...ok, Walter mumbled in pain.
"We need to treat your arm,or it will hurt more. We also need to clean the wound on your face too." Walter looked at Ralph and turned away to focus on the road.
"Ralph, I... I am fine."
"Usually, when you say that, you're not," Ralph said still looking at Walter's arm. It was swollen and bloody. Walter sighed, it sounded like he was in pain.
"Ok, ok I get your point but what am I supposed to do. Right now I need us to get to safety..." Walter paused then added "...When we get there you can check my wound, "Deal?"
"Deal." Ralph smiled. He was glad Walter agreed for his wound to be looked at. He was usually stubborn about that type of stuff.
"Ralph, you should get some sleep," Walter suggested.
"I am not tired." Walter knew Ralph was lying but decided not to force him.
"Okay," Walter mumbled so Ralph could not hear his pain.
Instantly Ralph heard Walter's pain. He was getting worried. Really worried. He wanted to help Walter but, he had to wait. Ralph slowly started to close his eyes. As Walter pulled over and stopped the car. Ralph opened his eyes, "Why did we stop?"
"Well, we don't want to have the men track down us by using my license plate... So we are going to walk the rest of the way." Walter looked at Ralph and added, you can ride on my back and sleep if you want."
Ralph's eyes were very sleepy, but Ralph was afraid about Walter. "What about your injuries?"
Walter sighed, "Well, I said you can treat my injuries when we get there...So you can treat them here then we can head out."
Ralph smiled, "Ok." Instantly Ralph crawled over the console into the backseat to grab what he needed. Then, he crawled back over it and sat in the passenger seat.
"Put your arm on the console." Walter did what he was told. Ralph started to clean Walter's arm. Walter flinched with pain. Ralph finished cleaning the wound and found the cut. It was deep, really deep. "You need stitches Walter, one thing I don't know how to do. So you have to wait for Toby." Ralph looked at Walter and added, " I will rap it for now." Walter nodded. Ralph grabbed the athletic tape and rapped it around Walter's arm.
When Ralph was done he told Walter to turn towards him so he can clean up Walter's face. As Walter turned around Ralph grabbed the stuff he needed. Ralph started to clean Walter's face.
"I guess you learned this by Toby?" Walter watched Ralph observe Toby before.
"Ya," Ralph kept his focus on Walter's face. "I watch him do this type of stuff sometimes." Ralph finally finished cleaning Walter's face to find nothing but a bruise on his forehead and a black eye. Ralph told Walter what his injuries were and put some medicine on Walter's head so it won't swell and hurt. "Well, I am all done for now let's head out," Ralph said with a yawn.
"Alright let's do this." They got out of Walter's car and grabbed Walter's backpack. "Ralph get on my back, so you can sleep." Ralph did not argue with that. Walter crouched down and Ralph climbed onto Walter's back. Walter got up making sure Ralph was holding on tight. After that, Walter headed his way toward the spot.
Ralph fell asleep instantly on Walter's back. Walter made sure not to wake up Ralph as he slept soundly. About 1 hour later they made it. When Walter climbed the last hill he stopped in his tracks. He smiled as he remembered how him and Cabe made the shelter right in front of him. The shelter was still strongly intact. It was made of wood with one window, but it was on the roof. Walter walked up to the door and found the hidden key and unlocked the door. When he walked in, Ralph stirred awake.
"Where are we?"
Walter smiled "This place, is our hiding place. Cabe and I built it ourselves."
"Oh cool," Ralph got down from Walter's back and walked around. There was a kitchen with a stove, a refrigerator, a microwave, a sink, and cabinets. In the living room, there was a wood fireplace, two couches, a recliner, and a bookshelf filled with books. Next to the living room was a dining room with a table and 7 chairs around it. Then there were two bedrooms. The first one had a dresser, a bed with a black comforter, two pillows, a night stand on both sides, a desk, and a small closet. The other bed room was the same but did not have a desk.
Ralph walked back to Walter who was putting away the stuff he brought. "This place is amazing!" Ralph yawned, " You guys built this?"
Walter looked up at Ralph and smiled, "Ya, it took forever but it came out amazing." Ralph yawned again. "Buddy, you need to get some rest. It is about 2 am." Ralph nodded, so Walter led him to The 1st bedroom and tucked in Ralph.
"Walter?"
"Ya buddy?" Walter stopped what he was doing to listen.
"Can you...stay wi...with me?"
Walter was shocked but knew the boy was scared. Walter smiled, "Sure buddy."
Ralph started to smile, "Thanks." Walter climbed into the bed and down next to Ralph. Ralph leaned against Walter's chest and fell asleep. Walter starred at the ceiling, as the boy slept. He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
