Chapter Three
Adam dies

When Adam was on John's bus he sat on the floor. Then Matthew paged John on his beeper and it said, "I now have discovered that there are Ten Cement Graboids in the Area". Then John heard something and told everyone on his bus to be quiet and absolutely still. Then Adam was so afraid that he screamed and all of a sudden there was a rumble and then a load break threw the bus and all of the passengers went up to the front of the bus. Then they looked back and saw that the cement Graboid had torn off half of the bus. Poor Adam and two other seventh graders were on that when it happened. So then Adam jumped off the end of the bus and tried to get to the other side. But the bus was still moving away from him. When he looked back he saw that the seventh grader got eaten by the cement grapiod.

So Adam ran as fast as he could to ketch up to the bus and the bus had to stop and wait for him but just as soon as Adam got on the bus the Graboid got his leg and tore it off and blood was everywhere in the other half of the bus. So John paged Matthew and said, "Matthew Adam is dead, how much further is it to Safeway". Matthew said. "Take a left and you are there". So John took a left and saw that the buses were parked and Matthew and Jameson were leading the kids and teachers up on the roof. John parked the bus and the rest of the students ran to the roof but as they were running five grapiods came up behind them and just as most of the kids including John was on the roof of Safeway the five Graboids stopped and went under the ground. Matthew said, "In the buss I got into it and pulled out all of my guns and now they're on the roof. Matthew walked over to the side of Safeway where there was a barbed fence and there was a little switch that said, "Put in password". Matthew did so and he walked into the barbed fenced area. He handed Jameson a machine gun, John a shotgun and then he saw Even walk up to him and said, " Matthew can I have a weapon".

After a few minutes had passed they heard what sounded like a bunch of Shriekers. Even said, "What was that", and Matthew said, "You don't want to know". Evan and John then saw that a bunch of Shriekers they fired a bunch of times and then they saw that there were tanks there and jumped off the roof to go get them. They weren't back yet. It was starting to get dark and the seventh, eighth and ninth graders were getting sleepy. All of the students put there jackets on and went to bed.

The next morning they go up and they couldn't believe that they saw. They heard ten Shriekers sounds and they were scared.
