Chapter 6: Ben
The fire wasn't an accident. That much I can see, when I find the box of matches next to an empty test tube. The fire is a distraction, I'm sure of it. Just then, Juliet runs over, looking distraught. My heart throbs at the sight of her. "Ben! Alex and Karl are GONE! " "What!?" I yelp. "Are you sure." I turn away as she is nodding and yell. "Richard! Danny! Tom! Get over here!" They all run over. "Go after them! You all know the jungle better then they do. Richard, stop at the Flame on the way. Tell Mikhail, have him keep an eye out for them. " Richard smiles. "No pun intended, Richard. It's possible that they've stumbled onto 815 survivors. Or her mother. Jack!" I yell, as I see him. He comes over. "What, Ben?" "Alex and her boyfriend have run away. I need you to help track them down." He nods. "Ok, sure. Who am I going with?" "You'll go with Richard. Tom, you and Danny start tracking them. Run, because they're sure to be running fast. Go, now!" They run.
