2 Days Later

The night before Riker, Laura, Ratliff, Ross, Maia and Rydel had all gone out for abit together for the night. Rydel saw how close Riker and Laura were getting to eachother, mainly because of the flirting Riker was doing towards her.

Don't get Rydel wrong she loves her big bro but he can be such a flirt sometimes. But who know, he might actually like Laura this time.

It was the next day.

When Ross woke up he felt like throwing up. He got the most horrible feeling ever in his stomach, that much that he felt like throwing up. It wasn't because of the drink he had last night. More like nervousness. He didn't know why.

That's when he felt it. So he quickly got out of the bed he was sleeping in and ran into the bathroom, not realizing Riker was in there at the sink. So he pushed past him and threw up in the toilet. "Well.. Now we know who can't handle their drink." Riker said turning off the tap. Ross then sat against the bath tub and glared at Riker "Shut up." Ross said. "I'm kidding," Riker said "I know it's not the drink because you never had that much. Are you ill?" Ross shook his head "No.." Ross said. "Good. Because I don't need my little brother dying on this trip," Riker said "god knows what Mom would think to his youngest son being dead." Ross glared at Riker

"Anyway..I need to go check something out today," Riker said "but Laura, Maia, Rydel and Ratliff are down at the cafe just down the road on the corner of the street. You can go meet them if you want." "I don't-" "Infact i would," Riker said "because if the thing I am about to go do, goes well.. We all could be going somewhere for the day." "Awesome.." Ross said not so enthusiastic. Riker then gently clipped Ross across the head.

Once Ross heard the door open and close, Riker was gone. Somewhere. Gosh. Ross wished random words would stop floating around in his head. Chernobyl. Disaster. Dead. Dying. Ross just flung his head back. Why were these words echoing about. He doesn't know. He's never heard of Chernobyl and it's disaster since he was 10 when it had been 20 years since the disaster. Even then this wasn't happening. But.. Why is this happening now?

Ross then just got up off the floor before going into the room and getting changed.

"So, does Ross normally take this long to get up and get changed?" Maia asked. "Yes." Rydel, Ratliff and Laura all said at near enough the same time. "Wow.." Maia said. "So, is Riker coming?" Laura asked. "Why do you wanna know for?" Rydel asked grinning. "Oh you know.." Laura said as a blush crept up onto her face "just curious." "Of course he's coming," Ratliff said "your all here to see him anyway, not like he's gonna be miserable and stay in the house all the time," Ratliff said "no.. He just does that most time." Ratliff joked. Laura chuckled.

"What is Riker doing today anyway?" Rydel asked. "I don't know," Ratliff sighed "something about going to see if we can all go somewhere for the day." "Like where?" Maia asked. "Yeah, aren't we supposed to be going to Moscow for the day?" Laura asked. Ratliff shrugged "Don't ask me, as Riker," Ratliff said "he's the one who's got this whole thing planned out."

Then Ross walked through the door of the cafe and sat by Rydel on the opposite side of Ratliff and Laura. Maia was sat at the end of the table. "Glad you finally decided to get out of bed." Laura joked. Ross rolled his eyes "Sorry.. I wasn't feeling well." Ross said. "Is Riker still at the apartment?" Rydel asked. "Nope," Ross said "he left just after I got up which was like 30 minutes ago." They all nodded.

Within 20 minutes, Riker came through the door and sat down next to Laura. "Bout time you got here." Ratliff said. "Sorry, I was busy doing something." Riker said. "Alright." Laura said. "Are we going to Moscow today?" Maia asked. "Nope." Riker said as everyone went to go say 'yes'.

Everyone then looked at Riker confused. Riker smiled at them. "Okay," Riker said "I Know I said we were going to Moscow.. But.." "But what?" Ross asked. "I was talking to someone last night," Riker said "and they give tours of places where nobody really goes anymore. And he said he'd give us a tour of some place. A place kinda where it's dangerous to go because of the condition it's in. Kinda deadly.." Riker explained. "Where's the place?" Rydel asked.

Riker looked at them all. Something told Riker they weren't gonna like this one bit. "You guys.. Ever heard of Chernobyl?" Riker asked. Ross's head flew up and his eyes widened.

Oh no, no, no, no, no.. Please don't say he has.. Ross thought.

"Yeah.." Laura said. "Isn't that, that place where that Nuclear Power Station blew up," Maia said "you know.. The whole Nuclear disaster thing." "Yes," Riker said "who fancies going there for the day?!" "How are we even gonna get there anyway?" Ratliff asked "I thought that whole place was on lock down by the army." "It is," Riker said "but this guy has been into Chernobyl before with a couple of people. He found a way in without getting caught. They spent the day there and got out before going home." "Oh.." Ratliff said.

"But still," Rydel added "won't it be a little dangerous. You know.. Cause of the radiation from all the Nuclear stuff form the reactor. You know.. Once a Nuclear Power Station blows up and goes cablamo no one can go back there for at least a thousand years. You know.. Cause the radiation is dangerous.. and deathly." "Obviously someone doesn't wanna go." Riker said hinting towards Rydel.

Ross sighed and shook his head "I- I don't think it's a good idea to go.." Ross said. "Why not?" Maia asked. "Because.. I think something bad could happen," Ross said "like Rydel said. The radiation. What if we get to close to some.. We could burn and die." "You my friend, are a downer on the situation." Riker said. Ross rolled his eyes.

"So, who's coming with Riker to Chernobyl?" Riker asked raising his hand. He looked around. No one. But then Laura put her hand up. "Are you kidding Laura?" Ross asked. Laura shrugged "Could be fun.." Laura said "and all the photo's I could get. IT would be amazing. C'mon, it's like a once in a lifetime opportunity." Rydel sighed "Alright, I'll go aswell." Rydel said putting up her hand. Ratliff then put up his hand "Same here.." Ratliff said. Maia sighed and raised her hand.

Ross was out numbered. He rolled his eyes and looked at Riker "Your incredible.." Ross said. "I know." Riker said smiling. "Guess I have no choice but to go now." Ross said. "Pretty much yeah." Ratliff said. "Laura, elbow Ratliff will you." Ross said. "No, I like Ratliff." Laura said. Ross sighed.

"So when are we going?" Ross asked. "When we're ready." Riker said. "Now then?" Laura asked. "Sure." Everyone said around near enough the same time.

Everyone then made their way out of the cafe and down to this small lodge where there was a guy stood behind the desk. "Riker, are these who are coming to Chernobyl then?" The guy asked, who was obviously Russian. Yes. He was Russian. Good thing he could speak English because Laura, Ross and Maia would struggle to cooperate with him. "Yup." Riker said.

"Guys this is Uri," Riker said "Uri this my friend Ratliff," he pointed at Ratliff "my baby sis Rydel," pointed at Rydel "Maia," points at Maia "my friend now Laura," points to Laura "and my nervous wreck of a baby brother who can't hold down a drink, Ross." "Funny.." Ross said sarcastically. "Nice to meet you." Uri said.

Uri then grabbed his jacket along with a two walkie talkies and a radiation monitor. But none of them new it was a radiation monitor. "Lets get going then. The truck is just round the back." Uri said.

They all then made their way round the back where they got into the car.

When they got to the car, there was only seats at the front. None in the middle. So it looked like five of them were sitting on the floor without a seat belt. Great.

Riker sat in the front with Uri whilst Laura, Maia, Ross, Ratliff and Rydel sat in the middle. Laura, Ross and Maia were all huddled together at the back whilst Rydel and Ratliff were sat against the side next to eachother.

The car started and it began to drive, making it's way to Chernobyl.

Ross looked out the back of the window watching the town disappear slowly.

Why did Ross have the feeling this was gonna be the last time he'd see this place?
