Chapter 5: Did You Say This Is Not A Boot Camp?
(After I got through Chris's mother wanting to keep her son, it was a long and quiet drive. When I was on the eastern side of Washington I was joined by two police cars. When we passed a sign that read, "All Unauthorized Cars Pass Yellow Line Will Be Shot!" When Chris and David saw the sign both finally had enough. At 50 miles per hour they made their escape on a curve. The rolled out together out of the car and down the canyon and disappeared, but I knew that David would soon find out that he too was implanted by bionics and running on low. (David and Chris alone. When I figured to go with Chris to Eastern Washington I wish that the car was not so hot, it was that hot that you could cook an egg, of course that is just a matter of speech. When we passed that sign that said 'All Unauthorized Cars Pass Yellow Line Will Be Shot!" I almost wanted to have a heart attack. So as we planned we dove out of the car hit the road with a painful break and rolled down the hill hitting rocks, bushes, weeds, more rocks, a fire ants nest, and even more sharp rocks to stop in small muddy creek. When I got myself together I got on feet and fell—as I looked at my leg the skin broke and I could see only machine parts with a broken park from what I thought, when Chris looked at me I passed out. When I woke up, Chris was dropping water on my face, as I looked at him, I hurried to check my leg hoping it was a nightmare, but as I looked at the wired, tubes, and metal I freaked out. As Chris looked at the machine, he noticed that the energy cell was broken, as he thought to himself, he pressed hard on his arm and the skin broke, he is part machine too. As he pulls out the energy coil cell he cant move his left hand, but hands the cell to me with him right hand. As I looked at the device, I took out the broken piece placed it in my pocket, and inserted the cell into my leg, as the cell was inserted, I could move my leg. As we got to the road Chris and I knew we had miles to cover to be free so we figured to walk 25 miles in daylight and run 75 miles at night to hopefully keep warm. By the third day we covered 200 miles and came a pond a run down gas station and rolled nickels for a bottle of water, the man asked us where our transportation was? We pointed to our feet or what was left of them. I asked how many miles away are the Cascades? We said 30 miles to go. I asked if he could give Chris and I a ride and he agreed. At 5:00 AM in the morning the rubber hit the road. He asked what we were doing ways way out there? I replied a kidnap at Olalla. Then he said when I reach the mountains where will I go, I said to Johnston's Ridge, so he took us all the way to Coldwater Visitor Center. There we thanked him. As Chris and I walked to Johnston's Ridge we traveled 250 miles on foot in three days and 300 miles in vehicle in one day, it is an amazing record for me. But far in my mind I knew Kelsey and the EDI would be looking for Chris and I)
