this story. If anyone has any ideas please tell me! Well, would it be too
much to ask for 5 reviews! Enjoy!-Ari

Chapter 7: Houston We Have A Problem
Max and Zack walked off into the night holding each other. They knew things were changing between them. What they did not know was this might be the last peaceful moment of their life.
After walking out of the small town they came upon another town, and there they hijacked a car. They figured walking to Houston just wasn't something they wanted to do.
They drove into Houston at 3 am. They drove around until 7, then went directly to Tinga's current residence. When they got there they saw a peaceful house, too peaceful.
They got out and walked as calmly as they could to the door. When they reached it, they cautiously knocked. As soon as they did Tinga appeared at the door.
"Zack, is that you?" she asked sleepily.
"Yeah, it's me. I brought a friend too." He said stepping aside to reveal Max.
Tinga squealed in delight, "Max!"
They rushed forward and hugged each other for a while. After a while they pulled apart.
"So, what brings you to these parts?" Tinga asked.
"Well, you of course." Max answered.
Suddenly, they all three heard the crunch of a military boot. All three heads turned. They couldn't believe the site they saw. There not even 100 yards away was a Manticore soldier. He had the standard uniform, black helmet, black pants, black boots, and the black top. They suddenly heard other boots crunching all around them. They were surrounded.
Zack whispered very quietly. "Max, Tinga, get away from here as soon as you can." After saying this he sprang into action, kicking wildly at the soldiers. These soldiers didn't use their guns. They must have been under the orders to capture, not kill.
Tinga took a hold of Max's arms as she tried to run towards Zack. They hid under the bushes, with Tinga's hand over Max's mouth. She struggled against her sister.
They had used a tazer on Zack, but not for long enough to make him shake, just long enough for them to grab him. At this moment, Max ripped free of Tinga and ran towards Zack. She didn't get very far before Tinga grabbed her again.
"Zack!" she yelled before Tinga's hand took back it's spot.
The soldiers didn't hear it but Zack did. He turned towards them and looked at Max and Tinga and yelled "RUN!"
