A/N: Okay, so here's the chapter… I'll probably be updating Fridays or Saturdays. I don't know yet. I'll be typing whenever I get on the computer. Anyway, here's the chapter!
"What?!" Jace asked swinging the door open.
"He called the police Jace. I told him that it wasn't a good idea. He told me that anyone that goes to the Facility should stay in the Facility," His mom replied, the sorrow in her eyes
"Hold them off. Don't let them go toward…the abandoned building toward the West edge of town," Jace said throwing different shirts and things into a bag. He slung it over his shoulders.
"I love you, Jace."
"Love you too," He said and then jumped out the window. He ran for the East side of town. As far from The Facility as he could get. He didn't trust his mother.
He walked East about a mile and reached an old, run down building. He walked inside and sat against a broken board of the ceiling. "This is as good as its going to get if I'm living away from my parents," He mumbled. Jace laid down against a stack of empty sacks and fell asleep.
**Early the next morning**
"He might be hiding in here," a voice said outside of the building.
Jace sat up quickly and held his breath.
"I don't think so. If that kid is as smart as him dad said he was he wouldn't be hiding in a safety hazard like this," a different voice replied.
"We need to check everywhere. That's what Goodwin said," the first person said.
The front door of the building squeaked open and two officers walked in with Jace's parents behind them.
Jace grabbed his bag and covered himself with the sacks he slept on. He listened as the four sets of footsteps walked around the room.
"Should we look under that pile of bags?" One of the people asked.
"Jace wouldn't hide under a pile of dirty bags," he heard from in front of him.
"Would you like to find your son?" One of the officers asked.
"We do but, we both know that Jace wouldn't hide somewhere like this," His mother told them.
The footsteps retreated and he heard the door shut.
Jace peeked from behind the bags and saw one of the officers standing in front of him.
"Why are you hiding from your parents?" He asked.
"They think that I did something that I didn't do and they want to send me to The Facility for it," Jace replied in a scared whisper. He tried to sound as innocent as he could.
"If you come back to your house by tonight I won't turn you in. Will you promise me that?" the officer asked.
Jace nodded as the officer left. He pushed the bags off his lap and stood up. He brushed the dirt from his pants and looked around the room.
Are you alright? He heard Illia ask.
I'm fine. I'm going to have to go back to my house though. I have to let me parents know that I'm going to be alright, Jace replied.
Illia didn't respond so Jace took the opportunity to leave the building and walk around town. He let his feet carry him all around town until he got to his house. He used his key and unlocked the door.
Illia, get ready to transport me out of here if they try to send me back to The Facility, Jace said.
"Jace!" His mother yelled as soon as he opened the door. She hugged him.
"Mom, I'm fine," He said.
"Jace, why did you run away?" his dad asked.
"I heard you talking about calling the police," He replied with a sheepish smile.
"Why would they do that? They believe that you didn't belong in The Facility. Your Father was talking about calling the police about you talking with a man named Goodwin. He called while you were there," one of the officers said.
"Really?" Jace asked. "Why would he want to talk to me?"
"All he told us was that it's something important," the other officer said.
"Oh, will he be coming here or will I be taken there?"
"We don't know the details right now," his mom told him.
"I'm going to have to talk to my friends," Jace whispered.
"Where are they Jace?" one of the officers asked.
"They didn't do anything wrong! Your not taking them back!" Jace yelled angrily. He knew they would take him back if he wasn't careful.
"We never said they would go back. We just need to know where they are," his dad said.
"You just want to send them all back to The Facility! It's not fair!" Jace yelled. "Or, your getting orders to send them to The Satellite. That's also unfair. Just because some people aren't as fortunate as others they shouldn't have to live in a different place," Jace said.
"We understand. We just need to know where they are," His dad said.
Jace ran from the room and out the door. He ran as fast and as far as he could.
I'm bringing you here now, Illia said.
Jace waited as a flash of light engulfed him and he landed on a creaky floor.
"Are you alright?" Illia asked helping him up.
Jace looked around. "How'd you find this place?"
"It wasn't easy. Illia made us walk around until we got here. Yusei locked himself in one of the rooms in here and hasn't come out since we came," Tanner said.
"Is he okay?" Jace asked. He walked to the room that Tanner pointed to and opened the door.
Yusei was gone.
