1043 36: Finding Shelter.
Jason, Mickey and Max ran through the Jungle as fast as their legs could carry them, trying to find shelter.
After fleeing the old abandond laboratory, Jason and the puppies had stumbled into a treeline. They didn't stop though. The teenager and the puppies knew they needed to put as much distance between themselves and the animals as possible. They would learn, however, through experience that they should have slowed down, if only slightly. The trio had been darting through the branches as quickly as they could when the ground gave out from under them. They tumbled down the knewly discovered hill and quite literally clanged to a stop.
"Okay. That...hurt." Said Jason.
"Hey, look." Said Mickey.
Rubbing his head, Jason and the puppies looked up to see what they had slammed into. In front of them was a large water truck that had been trapped in a gorge.
"Whoa. Check it out." Said Jason.
"What is it?" Max asked.
"It's an old abandond water truck." Said Jason.
Yanking themselves to their feet, they began to slowly inspect the vehicle.
"Hello? Anybody in there? Hello?" Jason called. But there was no answer from within the truck.
There was a steel door on the side of the overturned truck. Jason and the puppies winced as the door creaked open. Anything could have heard that. The 13 year old picked up Mickey and placed him inside the truck, follow by Max. He then carefully pulled himself through the opening and dropped to the floor within. He and the puppies glanced around at the dreary space.
"Wow. It sure is dark in here." Said Jason.
"And damp." Mickey added.
"And cold." Said Max.
They were right. It was dark, damp and cold. The steel on the walls felt like ice against the boy's skin and there were still puddles of water inside the container.
"And look. There are large metal bolts that can be drawn against the trap door." Said Mickey.
"Hey, you're right. It can be used to keep animals out." Said Jason.
Mickey was kidding around either. There were large metal bolts that could be drawn against the trap door. It could be used to keep animals out.
"What is this place?" Max asked.
"It's our new home, guys." Jason stated. He smiled to himself and then at Mickey and Max.
This could work.
