JJ POV
We travelled for hours before we came to desert, barren place with nothing but a little shack. The journey was a little bumpy considering the wreck of a car we were using and the rough road.
Sara looked out the window "We're here, Jack Bruno"
"Here?" Jack asked. "There's nothing here"
Seth and Sara smiled at each other. Well, she smiled, he just put on a decent expression for the first time. We drove towards the derelict shack, it was half destroyed.
"Somebody's expecting you two, right?" Jack asked. "Doesn't look like anyone's home"
"Don't worry Jack Bruno. We'll soon be reunited with relatives" Sara said cheerfully as we pulled over.
"OK, $720.50. But after everything that went down today, how about I knock 25%" Jack said.
"Here" Seth said as he and Sara got out of the car.
"I also..." Jack began.
The twins ran into the shack while I counted the money "OK, then. Goodbye to you, too" Jack said as the twins left.
I gave the money to him and he looked at it "500% tip? That's reasonable" Jack said.
He looked at the shack, deliberated with himself, lost and got out the car "Hey! You guys overpaid! By a lot!"
He shut the car door and looked at the damage "Unbelievable"
There was a bang from inside the shack, I got out the car. I so didn't want to do this.
Jack moved towards the shack "Everything OK in there?"
He walked into the shack, I followed, the place was dusty and wrecked. Like there had been a fight or something. Or someone was looking for something.
"Hello?" Jack said.
I rolled my eyes and continued moving forward into the shack. What a mess! I struggled to see in the darkness, Jack picked up a table leg and examined where we had heard a noise. I walked towards it. I felt myself being pulled down and having a hand clamped over my mouth. I saw Seth and knocked his hand off of my mouth.
Jack looked down at us "What just happened?"
"Jack Bruno, you should not have jeopardized your life by following us" Sara whispered.
"What sort of trouble are you two in?" Jack asked.
Seth looked at the device and then Jack "I suggest you return to your vehicle. Your services are no longer required"
"Seth, he's just trying to help" Sara said.
"We don't need his help" Seth hissed. "Somebody's already looking for it. We simply cannot trust any of them. Just us, Sara"
"We appreciate your efforts to assist us, Jack Bruno. But my brother is right, we can involve you and your niece no further" Sara whispered.
Seth glanced at me and then back to his device "Got it"
"Let's go" Sara said and they both got up.
"Hey, just tell me what's going on..." Jack began.
"This way" Seth told Sara. "Hurry up, Sara"
We followed the twins to a fridge where Seth put his creepy little device on it and it beeped and flashed.
"What is that?" Jack asked.
The fridge opened into a little tunnel, Seth took the device and the twins entered.
"Don't go in the pimped-out fridge, Jack" Jack told himself.
"I got nothing better to do" I shrugged and I went in.
Jack followed me into the little tunnel where I found Seth putting his device on a wall, a door opened and Seth took the device. The twins looked at each other and entered the creepy plant room.
"What is this place?" Jack asked.
"This way" Seth said, ignoring him.
I followed Seth through the plants and came to this gooey, blue things that looked so gross. "Sara, it's here" he called.
Sara took off her necklace and put it on the goo, it beeped and glowed, the goo glowed pink and Sara put her hand in it.
"Eww!" I whispered, putting my hand in front of my mouth.
Sara pulled out another little device and smiled at Seth.
"What is it?" Jack asked.
"It is what we came for, Jack Bruno" Sara beamed.
"Really, is anyone else looking for it?" Jack asked. "Say, the person who trashed everything upstairs?"
"We think so. It is very valuable" Seth replied, glancing at me again. "Which is why it was so vital that we locate it first"
"What makes you so sure that whoever else wanted it isn't still looking for it" Jack's question was answered by a sound upstairs.
"Ssh. Go, go, go" Jack whispered to us.
We walked through the jungle place as more sounds were heard. "Run! Run! Run!" Jack shouted.
Seth grabbed my hand pulled me forward with him, I saw Jack taking a beating from that thing. We tripped over something and I ended up on top of him, we stayed silent. We watched the thing walking around, surveying. I looked at Seth, we leaned to kiss but were cut off by fire, the plants were on fire. I gasped with fear, I had a major fear of fire since the death of my family.
"Jack Bruno!" Sara called.
"Kids" he called back.
"Go, go, go, Sara!" Seth said as he pulled me along behind him.
A huge blast propelled us all forward, screaming. I landed hard on my back. "Come on" Seth coughed as he pushed me forward.
"Jack Bruno!" Sara called, the thing knocked the device out of Sara's hand. "Seth!"
Seth went up to the thing but it knocked him backwards, right into me, knocking us both to the ground, him on top of me. Jack took the thing down and Sara once again had the device. Seth helped me up and we ran for the exit. Sara flung fire and the thing and I gasped, backing up against a wall. Fire scared me so much.
"Come, we gotta go, we gotta go" Jack said.
Some huge blue blast came flying after us, Seth tried to close the door but the blast knocked him forwards, he was unconscious, I ran towards him. Jack picked him up and went for the exit, me following, Sara taking the lead.
We got into the car, Seth was still unconscious. We drove far away from the shack as little things rained onto us.
