As the trip went on Lisa was fed some food and many drinks.
She took them gratefully.

It turned out that Elizabeth was quite friendly and nice.
She explained everything to Lisa. Lisa would have trusted
her completely but there was one thing that made her
nervous around Elizabeth. She was the King's sister.

Lisa found out that Elizabeth was with the attackers
because she was one of the army's leaders. The other was
Sarg. Because of this there were some disagreements and
although many of the children had the same beliefs as
Elizabeth most of them followed Sarg's orders over hers,
for he had more fighting experience.

"So you're saying the army's kind of divided in two then?"
Lisa asked Elizabeth.

"Yes and no. The army's divided in two when it comes to
their beliefs and values, but the entire thing follows
Sarg when it comes to battles. Of course half of those
battles were started by him. He's no diplomat and it
shows." Elizabeth gave alittle humph when she got to that.

So obviously she doesn't like the way Sarg runs things,
Lisa thought to herself.

The truck bumped it's way along the road to Chicago. It
was along trip so Lisa had lots of time to think things
through.

She was making a plan to get away from the trucks when
they stopped. Lisa was alittle surprised, then gave
herself a smack. How could she have forgotten about gas?
Trucks don't run on air.

Lisa got down, out of the truck and stretched. It felt
really good to do. She hadn't realized how long she'd
been in the truck.
