I know I should be working on my other srory but My new obsession is Falling skies So I had to write something. I will hold a competition to whoever reviews a chapter first I will dedicate the next to them.

Chapter 1: The Journey

Hal Mason was exhausted. He had just spent the entire night watching over Pope. The man was a God damn nightmare; all he did was talk and complain.

'You're not doing this right you know or you have to do that you understand'.

If he wasn't criticizing the second mass he was complaining about the facilities in the school or he was hungry, or that Hal was giving him a headache from staring at him to much. When Tom came in to relieve him, Hal was ready to strangle their hostage.

He flung himself into bed, not bother to undress. His head had barely hit the pillow before he was fast asleep. He awoke to his father's tired annoyed voice only what felt like seconds later.

'Hal. Hal get up!' he yawned. 'Hal it's time to go, we're getting Ben'.

At the mention of his little brother's name, Hal's eyes snapped open to see Tom descending the stairs. He jumped out of bed, quickly changed his clothes into his favourite army jacket and ran after his dad.

Once breakfasted (porridge again) and washed, Hal Tom, Karen, Dai and Mike set off with Margret bringing up the rear. Hal looked to over at his dad, he looked nervous but confident and was fidgeting with his gun strap quiet a lot. Everyone else seemed fine; they all looked tired but happy to be away from the school. Was it just him and Tom that felt nervous? He felt nauseous and dizzy, but he didn't care. They were going to get Ben back.

A hand slipped into his, Karen. She smiled at him, that cheesy, cute, goofy smile he loved so much. He squeezed her hand gently and pulled her along behind him. She returned his squeeze a little too hard making him wince. She wrapped her arm around his waist and whispered 'We will find him. I promise'. She smiled again lifting his spirits.

'Come on you two lovebirds. Stop lollygagging,' Dai called from the front. Karen turned a dark shade of red before giving Hal's waist another tight squeeze and running off to talk to Mike who looked rather rundown.

Hal was once again left on his own with his thoughts. What if we can't save him? What the, will dad stop at nothing to get his second son back? He thought. He knew he was being stupid; of course his farther wouldn't give up. He felt like it was his one and only mission, to help find and rescue everyone's kids.

What if we can't get the harnesses off?

We will. Was the only answer he could think of . He wasn't quiet confident yet with all the deaths of the children who've been de-harnessed.

Hal had been walking for the past few minutes staring at the sky. He quickly looked around to see if anyone had noticed. Unfortunately his dad had, he didn't look concerned, and he was smiling a deep look of happiness in his eyes.

'What?' he asked, he already knew the answer. Tom thought he was thinking if Karen, he must have that dreamy look on his face again.

'What?' he asked again.

'Nothing'.

An hour and a half later they arrived at their destination. A tall office building stood in front of them, seventy stories high.

'We have to climb up there?' Karen asked, her voice shaking. She has a thing with heights and never told him why when he asked.

'Not unless you want to be attacked by a group of mechs,' sneered Margret, pointing to a small group of at least three robots rounding the corner. Tom cursed and shoved the youngest of the group inside before the others. The mech stomped past their window not even noticing the group of humans staring at it through the glass. The team turned and slowly started to ascend the stairs one at a time.
