Ch 9: Welp, let's finish the song now. "And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again."

Present Day

"Run! Go! Run! Run! Run!" Newt yelled as we ran.

"We are running!" Frypan yelled. The booming even louder, soon it had caught up to Frypan, and he flew in the air, getting tossed to the ground.

"Frypan!" Newt yelled and rushed over to him.

"Newt! There's no time! We'll come back for him!" I yelled at him. He paused, then came back to sprinting. The booming was right behind us now. We ran into an abandoned city and tried to lose the plane.

One of the explosions got Minho too, and was blown aside. We kept going. Finally we got to a dead end. Newt and I turned around, the jet was there, we turned around again, hoping to go into the building that was toppled. Cranks poured out of the building. Newt gave me a look.

He pulled out the serum from his pocket. How'd he get that? "You want this?" Newt yelled.

"I want you, and Thomas." The speaker from the jet said. It was no other than Rat Man, shocker.

"Well that's not gonna happen. You can have me, and the serum. Just please don't take Tommy." He pleaded.

"No...Newt." I whispered. He gave me a sad look.

"Fine." Rat Man sighed and the jet landed. Rat Man, and a few other guards came out. "Give me the serum." He put out his hand. Newt didn't give him the serum. "Give. It. To. Me. Now." He gritted his teeth. Newt punched him in the face and he was pushed to the ground. The other soldiers was about to fire but Newt grabbed the gun, shot him and then shot the other guard.

"Let's go and grab the others." He nodded. "Oh, by the way, we still have cranks behind us."

We ran, losing the cranks in the city. I grabbed Minho since he wasn't that far away, then Newt ran to get Frypan. On the way we played guess who. Once we gathered Frypan.

We walked a long way west some more, til' we got to the beach where the Safe Haven lay. It was burn to a crisp, fire and ashes everywhere, and everything was in ruins.

"What the bloody hell happened here?" Newt said.

"I have no idea." I said in shock.

As we adventured in we saw some clues that our fellow companions escaped, but where?

"Guys!" Minho said holding a sheet of paper, "It's a note from the others." He began to wave the paper in our faces.

"Well, what does it say, mate?" Newt said crossing his arms.

"Read it yourself," Minho said while mocking Newt's movement.

"Stop that," He said and looked back down at the paper.

It read We're under attack! Sorry but we don't have much time! We're moving to an abandoned base over in the mountains. There's a map in the map room of all of our bases, hope it didn't get burnt. - Brenda

"Great job. Now we have to move to the mountains!" Minho said sarcastically. He was throwing his arms in the air like we're supposed to be happy about this. I rolled my eyes.

"Ah!" I heard Frypan said over at the kitchen. "My kitchen! No, it's ruined. Nooooooooo!" He yelled to the sky on his knees.

"So dramatic." I grumbled.

"Let's go to the map room I guess?" Newt suggested.

We went up the beach a little more to the map room. All of it was burnt, all except a metal case. engraved with the words: PASSED CAMPS

"Welp, it couldn't get burnt." Frypan said. We opened the case. While dust scattered everywhere. I coughed and waved my hand to get the dust away.

"Well, there are about 10 maps. The question is which one is it?" Minho asked.

"Well, let's see which base is in the mountains to narrow it down." I suggested and shrugged. We all agreed and the maps ended to about 2 in the mountains.

"Yo, I found some walkie talkies over here. They seem to be fully functional." Frypan said.

"Great, we can split up. And we will have one walkie talkie per group. If one is the base, call the other over to that base." I directed.

"Ok, I'll take Frypan." Minho said. "Because I'm starving."

"Ok… I guess I'm with Tommy." Newt shrugged.

We all split up into different detections. Lucky the sun was still in the middle of the sky, leaving helpful rays of light so we could see. Newt sighed, "Why couldn't they keep one of the walkie talkies got the self so we could communicate?" Newt said slowing down his pace.

"You mean at the Safe Haven?" I asked, a little confused.

"Yes, Tommy" he said, " then we wouldn't need to split up."

"Oh. Yeah, why didn't they do that?" I thought out loud. We entered the hills, the sun now setting, about to go down. Then we entered an abandoned town, it was a nice and homey town, until you got to the fact that it was abandoned and cranks were crawling throughout it.

"Minho you copy?" I said.

Silence. More silence. Then "I copy do you read me? I copy."

"Minho!" I yelled through the walkie talkie. "No joking around."

The walkie talkie remained quiet while a couple of crows flew above our heads.

"What the bloody hell is happening?" Newt said looking me in the eyes.

"I don't know," I admitted.

"This is why we shouldn't have split up," He said stressed. The radio came on, it was a bit staticy, but I was still able to hear it. "Where is that coming from?"

"I don't know." I tensed up a little. It got louder and closer. I couldn't see where it was coming from it was dark now. Then all the sudden, it stopped.

Explosions came from within the stores. "Run!" Newt yelled and started running.

"You don't need to ask me twice!" I yelled back and chased after him.

Once we got out of the town, we noticed cranks were chasing us, their crippled bodies acting so non huminoide.

We passed the hill and entered another one, the cranks still on our tail. "How are they still following us!?" I asked.

"I-I don't know" Newt said, slightly panting.

We entered the mountains after passing 2 more hills. The cranks were still on our tail. "Maybe we'll lose em' in the mountains?" I asked, hopefully.

"I hope you're bloody right, Tommy." Newt looked over at me.

We zig zagged up the mountains running into our two familiars. "Thomas, Newt!" Minho said smiling, "Guess your not dead after all."

"Yeah we're not! Did you find the other camp yet?" I asked Minho and Frypan.

"Yeah, we did. It was the camp. But our batteries ran out and they had no supplies, so we had to go find you." Frypan added.

"Great. Let's go." We made it to the other camp and Brenda greeted me like I came back from the dead. Really it should be Newt who should be greeted like that. "Newt! You came back!" Brenda said and hugged really tight.

"Yeah I'm bloody back." He grinned.

"Wait. What about Janson? Aren't they hunting us down?" Minho asked.
