Laura, Ratliff, Riker and Rydel had been walking around looking for this car park for a while now. And nothing.
Right now they'd got out to a dirty dirt track that obviously cars, trucks and lorry's etc use to go down. It was surrounded by trees and bushes that they were surprised were even alive.
So they began to walk down it slowly but Riker kept on having to take the Radiation Monitor out of his pocket just incase. They hadn't been round here before, or rather yet, so they didn't know if there was gonna be any high levels of Radiation.
They'd been walking around trying to find this so-called car park. Soon it was going to be dark and they promised Ross and Maia they'd be back at the car soon.
"Oh my god stop!" Rydel gasped. "What's wrong?" Riker asked. Rydel pointed.
The four looked down the road where they saw about 5 wolfs at the end surrounding something that they were trying to eat. "Okay.. We need to be very very sneaky about this.." Riker said quietly.
Ratliff turned his head and saw a small opening leading to a field "Guys.. There's an opening." Ratliff said. They all looked. "C'mon lets go before the wolf's see us." Laura said. They all nodded before each of them went threw the opening until they were on the field.
They looked from left to right and then forward "Well.. Which way now?" Laura asked. "Guys there it is!" Rydel said pointing.
They looked across the field and saw a car park full of old cars and buses. Laura literally almost burst with excitement! They were finally gonna get home! "Yes! Lets go!" Laura said. "Wait!" Riker said stopping Laura from walking "we can't go that way." "Why not?" Laura asked.
Riker took the monitor from his pocket and pointed it in that direction "Do you not hear this thing going off like a crazy thing?" Riker asked. Everyone looked at it. It was squeaking really loud and bad.
Great.
Just as they're close to finding a way out of their death, they find out it's Radioactive. Badly.
The four sighed. Ratliff then kicked a rock that was on the floor. The rock then flew from the impact of Ratliff's foot where it then splashed into the lake that was opposite the Radiation. That's when Ratliff noticed something. There was a lake.. With a small wooden bridge.. Leading to another car park.
Ratliff snatched the monitor from Riker's hand and pointed it to the lake's direction. It didn't go off. "You done with that now?" Riker asked. "Dude! There's a car park over that lake! There's no radiation!" Ratliff said happily and giving the monitor back to him. "Then lets go so we can get the heck out of this place!" Riker said.
The four then ran as fast as they could until they got to the lake where the wooden bridge was.
It was brown. It only had brown wooden planks with nothing to hold onto. "It looks.. Weak.." Rydel said looking down at it. "We'll just go one at a time," Riker said "Rydel you go first."
Rydel then stepped onto the bridge and slowly walked across it trying not to fall into the water. Whilst she was doing that Riker put the monitor near the water. The water was fine if they fell in by accident. Soon Rydel was across. "Laura, you go." Riker said pushing her gently. Laura then walked across it slowly, but when she got half way across she wobbled a little almost falling in. Rydel gasped a little. But eventually Laura got across safely. Same with Riker and Ratliff when they got across. Riker went across last.
"Alright," Riker said "everyone look around in the cars and see if you can find a wire. Just grab as many as you can incase some of them don't work."
Everyone then began to look around the cars.
=== 20 MINUTES LATER ===
They'd been searching in all the old cars that had been left there with wires and they weren't having any luck.
There was a bus in the middle of the car park so Laura went over to it. But as she was walking down to the door she noticed there was bullet holes in the sides of it. But.. It looked like they'd been fired from the.. inside firing to the outside.
This was a little worrying as Laura ran her hands over the bullet holes. She then looked through one to see if she could see anything. Nothing. There was even bullet holes on the otherside.
She just shook her head and went to the front of the bus, lifting up the trunk.
"Guys! I found a wire!" Ratliff shouted.
Everyone then dropped what they were doing and ran over to Ratliff who was at a van. He pulled a wire out that wasn't destroyed. It looked new. But nobody payed attention it. They payed attention to the fact they finally had a way out to home. They either let out a laugh of excitement or relief. "Lets go back to Ross and Maia then." Laura said smiling.
As they began to walk away they heard noises behind them. Barking. So they turned around only to see about 3 wolfs running at them all. No doubt they were Radioactive. "RUN!" Ratliff shouted.
They all then made a B line for the lake and the bridge. "Go go go go!" Riker said. Laura then ran across is even though it was shaking like hell as she was. Same with Riker he went next. He got over.
The wolfs were closing in and Rydel and Ratliff were still on the otherside. "RYDEL! RATLIFF! COME ON!" Riker shouted.
Rydel then stepped onto the bridge and started going across it soon followed by Ratliff. As soon as Rydel was across, Ratliff was half way across. But the bridge collapsed.
Ratliff ended up in the water "AHH!" he screamed in pain as he hit something. "Ratliff come on!" Rydel screamed. Ratliff then moved as he struggled to. He'd hit his leg of something and there was pain shooting through it. Riker then just got fed up he gave the torch and the monitor to Laura before going into the lake and grabbing Ratliff under his arms and dragging him out of the lake to the floor safely.
They looked across the lake where the wolfs were and they stopped and just turned back round.
The four let out a giant sigh of relief. "My leg hurts.." Ratliff said wincing in pain. Laura then bent down to Ratliff's leg before rolling up his trouser leg. It was cut. But not badly. "It's fine, its just a cut." Laura said. Riker then got Ratliff up on his feet aswell as himself. "C-c'mon.." Rydel said "we need to get back to Ross and Maia like we said. Who's got the wire?" "I've got it." Laura said.
All of them then made their way back to Ross and Maia.
They got back to the dirt track and walked down it quickly but slowly. "I can't wait to get out of this place." Rydel said. "Me too." Laura said. "I don't even know what the heck's going on," Rydel said "I thought nothing lived here anymore. That's what made it safer. Minus the radiation and all." "Same." Riker said. "Like.. That thing that was in the building where we found.. MOST of Uri," Ratliff said "what on Earth was that?" "What do you mean?" Rydel asked. "Cause.. It didn't look like an animal.. It looks like a person.." Ratliff said.
"It was a person." Laura blurted out. Everyone stopped walking and looked at Laura, who stopped walking also. "H-how do you know?" Riker asked. "I took a picture of the apartment building," Laura said "and.. When I zoomed into the window.. There was someone stood there." "Why didn't you tell us?!" Ratliff asked.
As Laura went to go say something there was a growl behind them. When they looked there was nothing. "That doesn't matter.." Riker said "we know now.. So lets just get back to Ross and Maia.. NOW."
They then made their way back into Chernobyl's town where the car was.
and I mean... WAS.
When they got there.. The car wasn't there that Maia and Ross were in.
Their eyes widened before them.
"W-where are they..?" Rydel asked panicked. They all shrugged.
It was night time and it was pitch black. So the only light they had was the torch and the moon light. Nothing else.
Ratliff then saw smashed pieces of the car on the floor.. "Er, Riker.." Ratliff said "why is there smashed bits on the car on the floor.."
Riker's eyes widened "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!" Riker chorused louder and louder. He then ran over to the smashed pieces aswell as Rydel, Laura and Ratliff. "NO!" Riker shouted kicking it.
Then he looked down in between two old buildings. He saw the car. It was on it's roof all smashed. "ROSS!" Riker shouted running over to it. Rydel, Laura and Ratliff followed.
When they all got to the car, Riker got on his hands and knee's before looking inside the car. Ross wasn't there. Neither was Maia.
Riker jumped from the floor "HE'S NOT THERE! THEY'RE GONE!" Riker shouted as tears sprung his eyes. "You never know, they could be alive!" Laura said going to his side. "No we're not! I promised I'd get him out of here!" Riker said panicking pacing back and forth. "Riker! Stop pacing!" Laura said grabbing him by the arms facing him "calm down.. We WILL find them.. We'll find Maia.. and more importantly.. We WILL find Ross!" Riker smiled a little.
He didn't know what he was thinking at that point.. But he just grabbed Laura's face and just.. kissed her on the lips right there and then. After a little while they pulled away "S-sorry.." Riker said. Laura shook her head smiling "No no," She said "it's okay." Riker smiled.
"How did I not see that coming.." Ratliff muttered under his breath.
"I want to get out of here, so lets go find Ross." Laura said. "Don't worry we will find Ross and once we do I will make sure I get the both of you out of here whether it's the last thing I do," Riker said "and Ratliff and Rydel of course."
"Er.. R-riker.." Rydel said with worry. "What?" Riker asked looking to her.
Rydel pointed to the floor where there was a piece of cloth. Riker walked over and picked it up. It was a white hoodie. The white hoodie Ross was wearing. His heart sank to his stomach as he saw a big stain of blood on it. "NO!" Riker shouted out before throwing the hoodie to the floor.
Ross was gone.. and so was Maia.
But.. Are they really dead..?
