If anyone gets confused I say again read Sharlie's stories they are excellent and will explain the confusion away! Please read and review!

David rubbed his eyes and stared at the group. Only a few remained and all of them looked exhausted. When the water had come pouring down into their faces, they woke up from the gas. Thinking a fire had stared most had run from their rooms. Paul and his men, now realizing that they did not want to contend with all of them when they were awake, decided to take who they had and go.

Darron and David posted Sephrim and Jagger as guards and made everyone stay in the meeting room. So few were left that almost everyone could fit on the two couch beds. They waited until morning to have a meeting, seeing how exhausted everyone looked.

David sat in one of the big armchairs gazing over the sleeping remnant. Jack and Charlie had saved Josh, but Charlie had been captured, Xander had been in the shower so he had not been put to sleep and for some reason had gone untouched. David figured Paul and Karma knew better than to tangle with him since he had Paul's powers.

However, Nicole, Paul's daughter and Xander's girlfriend had been captured. Candice and Darron had escaped, and so had Julia. But Pearl, Alex, Bethanie, Kristopher, Riley, Kimber, and Sterling's sister Tiffany had not escaped. No one knew where they had been taken; the only thing they were sure of was that Paul had a hand in it.

How could they have been taken so off guard? How come Charlie had reacted so slowly? Had he not been listening? Jack had made excuses for his brother saying that Paul must have suspected that Charlie would be listening and taken care of him before they made any moves, but that did not explain why he woke up at all. David figured it best to just say, that like Dakota, Charlie was human, no matter how much power he had. We have got to stop putting our trust in humans, David thought. And start putting our trust in God.
