Chapter 8
The floor of the office shook violently as a hole in the wall was ripped open by the explosion. In that time, Jack had wrapped his hands around Myers' throat. "Get off me!" Myers' choked, his face turning purple.
"Where are Seth and Sara? Tell me now" Jack growled
"They're in the cells on the bottom floor" choked Myers "Thanks" Jack said and hurled Myers through the office door and Myers laid on the floor, groaning in pain. Jack and Alex jumped over him and ran downstairs "Hey- the" a solider called but Jack was too quick and punched him square in the face, causing him to smash his head on the wall and passed out. Alex and Jack hurtled down the stairs like bullets, not passing anymore soldiers, as the soldiers were more focused on what was trying to break in, not break out. They eventually found the cells and the one which was holding the siblings captive. Seth still looked just as lifeless as when they were brought in and Sara was stoking his face
"Sara" Jack whispered. Sara looked at the door and saw them, her face broke into a wide smile "Stand back" Jack instructed, Sara did as she was told and with one powerful kick from Jack, the door came clean off its hinges
"How's Seth?" Alex asked
"He isn't waking up, he must have been struck harder than I thought" Sara wept, staring at her unconscious brother. It seemed that Sara was right, there was blood slowly falling from the bruise on Seth's head, blood couldn't be a good sign.
"Don't worry, it'll take more than that to take Seth down" Jack smiled. Sara smiled back.
"Here, let's get you out of her so we can discuss what we do next." Alex told her.
"Good idea. Sara, you grab one of Seth's arms and I'll grab the other" Jack added. Sara grabbed Seth's arm and Jack grabbed the other and they were able to pull him up.
"Come on, we can take one of the trucks out of here." Alex said. Holding Seth up was taking every bit of energy that Jack and Sara could muster, their determination was easily shown. They were near the car park when they saw a figure merge from the shadows. Jack's heart dropped like a stone and smashed into a million pieces. The figure before them was a Siphon, the last one that Jack remembered was disintegrated then he realised that Sara had told him that Siphons are bred and created by their army to kill. This Siphon was just as dangerous and malicious looking than the last one. "That's just great, move!" Jack shouted, and they ran for their lives with the Siphon in hot pursuit. Luckily, a wall collapsed above the Siphon and it was just enough for the others to find a car which still had the keys in them. Seth was carefully put in the back and Sara hopped in also and Jack and Alex got in the front. Jack started the engine and pulled away.
"Adios, Witch Mountain" Jack shouted in relief as it vanished from view.
