Hi y'all! So I'm excited for this chapter, because I really loved writing it and I got lots of help from my friend, Regina once again so thank you. This is yet another chapter in Cary's point of view and thanks so much for reviewing the last chapter! You guys are awesome. So hopefully you enjoy this one as well :)

Everything happening seemed to be a blur, I sat beside Joe for about five minutes before an ambulance came and put him onto a stretcher and Deputy Lamb grabbed me by the collar and threw me into the backseat of his patrol car. I looked out the window at the stars, wondering what was happening and how this was all happening so fast. Was Joe dead? And was it my fault?

Deputy Lamb got into the car and slammed his hands against the steering wheel and looked at me in the rearview mirror. He didn't look mad, I couldn't read his expression. But my stomach turned, I felt guilty.

"Cary, what happened here?" He said, his voice on the verge of tears.

I looked down, my hands were shaking and I felt like I couldn't even talk because my throat was so dry from the liquor, "We were just walking! Then that car came out of nowhere and hit Joe." I closed my eyes and put my index fingers on my temple and tried to remember. But I couldn't, I felt like I was disappointing Deputy Lamb although he just nodded and followed the ambulance with his sirens on.

Mr. Dainard and Alice were already at the hospital, Alice looked like she hadn't even slept all night and her eyes were red and puffy. Deputy Lamb and Mr. Dainard got up and went outside to talk a bit and I went to sit down beside Alice, she had a blank stare, especially when Joe went by on a stretcher, and his body was completely motionless. My stomach dropped.

"What happened?" Alice finally said blankly, breaking the silence.

I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples again, going into deep concentration trying to remember exactly what had happened. I didn't drink much, just half a bottle. I wasn't even really drunk, just tired. Finally, after a few moments – I remembered.

"I don't get the joke…Why is six afraid of seven? Because seven, eight, nine? It's completely stupid! Sounds like something Preston would say to pick up a girl!" I said as me and Joe were starting to cross the street.

He laughed throwing a twizzler at me, "It's seven ate nine."

I looked up and him and raised an eyebrow, "That's what I just said!"

He rolled his eyes and smacked himself on the forehead. Suddenly, as I stood there in the middle of the street, a car came turning a sharp corner and zoomed right at me, the lights blinded me so I put my arms up to cover my eyes, "CARY, WATCH OUT!" Joe yelled and pushed me as hard as he could to the side and I fell onto the ground hitting my head on the cement.

I opened my eyes and stood up, rubbing my head, "Joe?" I said working over towards his body. I struggled and fell into a puddle of blood, was this Joe's blood? "Joe? Are you dead?"

I opened my eyes, and looked at Alice who was waving her hands in front of my face, waiting for me to tell her what happened. I felt even guiltier then before, knowing it was my fault that Joe got hit because he was trying to save me.

"Joe got hit saving me." I said. "I was standing in the street when the car came and I couldn't see, so he pushed me out of the way."

Alice started crying again and I just sat there, wondering if Joe was going to be okay and if he'd ever forgive me for letting him get hit by the car. This was all my fault.

When the sun started to rise, Martin, Preston and Charles walked into the hospital lobby together and waved at us. Charles, being the Fatass he is was hungry so we all went downstairs to the cafeteria and sat at a round table quietly.

"What exactly happened?" Preston asked me.

I stopped playing with my fingers and looked up, "Joe saved my life. The headlights blinded me and I couldn't see, so he pushed me out of the way."

"Holy shit," Charles said. "That's crazy. Who would ever try to kill you?"

"Kill him?" Alice said quietly. "What do you mean?"

Charles went quiet, because Alice shot him a death glare. The two didn't really get along since Joe and Alice started dating and Alice never really liked Charles so it got silent again. I was curious of what he meant, but he was quiet, but Preston picked up to whatever he was talking about.

"I know what he means." Preston said, setting down his cup of water. "This didn't just occur out of the ordinary. Whoever was driving the car must have known that you and Joe were going to be out last night. If they saw you, they would have stopped the car, obviously they intended to do some damage."

"Yeah, but Cary is tiny. I wouldn't have even seen him." Charles spoke up.

"Shut up, pussy!" I said glaring at him, he slouched down in his seat. "Okay, so that makes sense but who would do this?"

Preston simply shrugged while Martin looked around at all of us, "You know, my Mom was going to the pharmacy yesterday to get me my pain pills," Martin said looking down sadly at the huge cast on his left leg, "My Mom said that military personnel car was following her around."

"Joe did say something about the military trying to arrest his Dad for assaulting a solider." I said.

At the same time, the five of us looked up and everything seemed to come together. The military tries to arrest Deputy Lamb but he refuses, some from the military follows Martin's Mom around town and then someone tries to kill me and Joe, it all fits – The military is obviously after us, but what do they want?

"If the military is after us, what would they want?" Alice said as we all pieced it together.

"They obviously want something we have, that they don't." Preston said.

"We're gonna die!" Martin said gagging.

"Shut up!" I said, I didn't feel like seeing him throw up right now.

"The tape…The tape!" Charles said looking up at us. "That tape from the night of the crash! We caught the alien on film, remember they said on the news that we can't ever talk about this? We have the tape still don't we? Maybe that's what they want! Preston, where is it?"

"Why're you asking me?" Preston asked. "I don't have it."

"But you showed it to Joe's dad!" Charles said desperately. "Where did you guys put it after you watched it?"

"Deputy Lamb took it!" Preston said starting to sound frustrated with Charles.

We all exchanged quick glanced then jumped up from our table and dashed out of the cafeteria and ran upstairs into the main lobby searching for Deputy Lamb. We were all stopped at the same time by a military solider.

"Where do you kids think you're going?" He asked us, his hand on his belt where his gun was.

"We were just leaving." Alice lied confidently.

"Not so fast." He said as four other soldiers emerged from behind him. "Grab'em!"

I was lifted off of my feet by a tall man, overweight man, he threw me over his shoulder and I started punching his back, "PUT ME DOWN! I'll kill you!" I screamed.

I felt tiny compared to Preston, Charles, Martin and Alice, they weren't being carried like they were a baby, and they were just being handcuffed by the soldiers and pushed forward. I continued to hit the man's back. He finally put me down and handcuffed me, then threw me into the back of an armored army vehicle with the others. He shut the door and we heard it lock.

"We're gonna die!" Martin said starting to cry.

"Holy shit, what about Joe?" Charles said looking up at us.

"They probably killed him!" Martin said.

"Oh my god, shut up!" I said. "Joe isn't dead, they probably have him too and if we're lucky we'll see him soon. Just shut up!"

We all went silent as the army vehicle started to drive; we all started bouncing around as it went over bumps and bumps and bumps. I started getting really worried about Martin's prediction, was Joe dead? Were we all going to die?

I wanted to get all of the kids involved in this one and I think I did pretty well at adding things Alice, Preston, Charles, Cary and Martin would really say. I try to make this realistic, something you could see the characters really saying, I try hard. I'm off of writers block finally and know how things will turn out! As for Joe, I won't announce what happens to him, kind of a cliffhanger, I know! Sorry about that ;)
