IV

When Luke woke up the next morning, he yawned and looked around the vehicle.

Trey, Percy, Alia and Matthias were all comfortably asleep in their seats. Nina was not in the car.

Luke looked out the right window and saw that the minivan was now parked next to a large, charred building about two stories tall.

That must be the warehouse, thought Luke.

He then turned his thoughts to Nina. Where had she gone? Luke figured that there was only one way to find out.

First, he debated whether or not to bring the others. After a while, Luke decided that it wasn't necessary. If Nina was doing what he predicted she was doing, it would waste everyone else's time.

So he quietly unbuckled his seatbelt and quietly snuck out of the minivan.

After slowly sliding the door shut, Luke began to walk away from the warehouse towards piles of rubble scattered around the area. It seemed that there was about a ten to twenty yard distance between each pile of debris, which, on average, was ten feet tall.

There was one heap in particular that was thirty feet tall. Luke decided to climb to the top to get a better view of the fallen city.

The ascent wasn't too difficult and didn't take long at all. When Luke got to the top, he realized that there wasn't much too see. It was just pile after pile of rubble.

Man, I feel sorry for whoever lived in this city when it was burned, thought Luke.

He decided that he should probably climb down and go back to the minivan. But then he immediately realized that he could just call Nina.

Luke pulled out his phone, unlocked it and saw that he had several missed calls. All coming from his house.

Oh no, thought Luke. My family was calling last night. They must have thought I was returning from Mr. Hendricks's meeting! I never told them that I was going out of town.

Luke decided to return their calls. After five rings, he heard his father's voice.

"Hello, you have reached the Garner residents," said Luke's father. "Sorry that we can't get to the phone right now. Please leave your name and number after the beep and we will get back to you ASAP. Thanks and bye!"

Luke heard the beep. "Hi, guys, sorry for not answering your calls last night," he said. "Mr. Hendricks sent me and my friends out of town on a mission. Hopefully, I'll be home tonight in time for dinner. If not, I will make sure that I'm back in time for Jen's memorial tomorrow. See you later!"

Luke hung up put his phone away. He looked down and saw Nina walking past the pile of rubble that he was on top of.

Luke called her name and she looked up at him.

"How come you left?" called Luke.

Nina quickly climbed up the pile of debris that Luke was on before answering his question.

"I just wanted to go for a walk to think," Nina replied. "The car isn't too comfortable and I was gonna make sure that I came back before everyone else woke up."

The two sat down, facing away from the warehouse about fifty feet behind them.

There was a long silence before Nina looked at Luke and asked, "If Mr. Hendricks was right about Oscar and Aldous having servants, do you think that we have any chance successfully arresting them?"

Luke thought about that. If he, Nina, Trey, Matthias, Percy, and Alia badly outnumbered, despite having guns, could they really defend themselves?

There was a one hundred percent chance there would be a fight. But if Smits and his army lost, then who could possibly win?
