Chapter 12 (Narrator)

Jack and Alex had gotten out of the car in perfect condition (thanks to Alex) and had climbed back up the hill. A few minutes from where the kids had been darted they found a vault leading into the mountain. Jack tried to turn the wheel, but it was rusted into place so once again Alex jumped in to help. They got it turned and the vault swung open to reveal a dark tunnel.

"Back up." Jack instructed. He climbed into the tunnel feet first and pushed himself back a bit so Alex could get in. She slide in head first and followed Jack deeper into the tunnel. They followed the tunnel until it ended at another vault door. Jack checked it out and realized that the hinged on it were much more rusted then the one that had been outside. So he did what any other man would do and used his strength to kick to door out. It gave way and fell away revealing a vast opening up to another tunnel moving straight up and down. The clang from the door that Jack had kicked in echoed as it hit the bottom of the tunnel. Jack pocked his head out and spotted a set of old bars that acted as stairs. I swung out and grabbed out of them lowering himself out of the small tunnel.

"It's gonna be ok. I'm gonna be here the whole time." He reassured Alex who was very hesitant of following him down. Ever so slowly she turned around and lowered herself down after Jack. She gripped the bars for dear life as whimpers slide from her mouth.

"Hey don't look down, just remember I'm right below you." Jack comforted her. She nodded and focused on the wall in front of her as she slowly climbed down the stairs. Suddenly there was a huge rumble that shook the whole tunnel. Alex couldn't help, but look down only to have her worst thoughts confirmed.

"Oh no, Jack. Exhaust furnace!" She exclaimed and started to climb back up the stairs, but Jack stopped her.

"This way, this way. There's another tunnel right here." He called up to her. The flames got closer with each step they took and finally Jack reached the tunnel and set himself down inside it. He reached out and helped pull Alex in right as the flames reached the tunnel. Jack pushed them away from the opening only to find out the tunnel he had picked was slanted sending them sliding down the sides. Jack was the first to land at the bottom and he held his arms out catching Alex as she flew out of the tunnel beside him.

"You ok?" He asked. She put a hand on her chest as she took deep breaths and nodded. Jack gave her a quick smile before they climbed out another door. This time it leads them to a transport tunnel. They quickly hide behind one of the moving trucks and followed it down the tunnel before slipping away.

"What now?" She asked.

"Find the kids, don't get caught." He said and Alex nodded.

"Good plan." She said as they continued through the trucks trying to stay out of sight. Just then a warning siren went off and the place went crazy. This was a perfect opportunity to slip through the tunnel unnoticed and finally they saw the kids. They looked around and saw no one watching them except for some scientists that were working on Seth and Sara. They ran over to the door leading into the lab and snuck up on some of the workers.

"Hi. Can I borrow that pen?" Jack asked one of the agents. The guy turned around only to be shoved back into a wall…hard, he fell to the floor and just as another man was about to take a swing at Jack, Alex side swiped him. Jack looked from her to the guy and back to her.

"I have three older brothers." Alex explained with a shrug of her shoulders. Jack smiled at her before looking around and spotted a rack of white suits. Both of them shared a look before grabbed them and pulling them on. Once they were dressed they walked into the room and Jack took out the first guy he spotted. Alex grabbed a nearby equipment stand and slammed it into the back of one of the scientists. Soon all of them were lying on the floor. Jack rushed over to Sara and tried to pry the cuffs of, but they wouldn't budge. Alex examined the oxygen tubes and followed it to an oxygen machine.

"What is it?" Jack asked and tried once again to remove the cuffs.

"Um, some sort of anesthetic." She replied and looked over the buttons.

"Can you fix it?" Jack asked her.

"I don't know, but I can try." She said and started messing with the tubes. She repositioned some of the tubes and pushed a few buttons before a hissing sound was emitted and ever so slowly Seth and Sara started to wake.

"Seth. Seth it's ok." Alex reassured him as he blinked a few times. She smiled as he phased through his cuffs and she helped him into a sitting position. Sara was next to wake and her cuffs snapped open. She removed her air tube and smiled at Jack.

"I'm gonna get you out of here." He told her. They both climbed off the tables and finished removing the tubes. Jack and Alex got out of the suits and threw them in a corner before engulfing Seth and Sara into a hug.

"Wait, where's Jess?" Seth asked urgently. All of them shared a look before racing out of the room. Seth spotted her and ran over to the glass that separated them. Jess, who was lying on the floor trying to hold her breath as long as she could, spotted Seth and quickly pushed herself onto her knees. She crawled over to him using all the strength she could before collapsing again at the glass. She smiled at him and put her hand up to the glass like she had seen in a James Bond movie. If there was a time for Jess to be romantic it was now. They just looked at each other before Jess couldn't take it anymore. Her eyes got big as she opened her mouth to take a breath and found no air. Her hand fell away from the glass as she slide to the ground. She tried to suck in as much air as she could find until there was no more.

"Jess!" Seth yelled from the other side of the glass. He moved backwards and focused his molecules before he ran full blast into the glass wall. It shattered to little pieces at his impact. He rolled to a stop and moved through the pieces of glass over to Jess's side.

"Jess?! Sara do something!" He shouted as he watched Jess's face. Sara knelt down next to her and put her hands on either side of Jess's face. Everyone watched in anxiety as Sara closed her eyes and focused. Sara flinched and then opened her eyes watching Jess. At first nothing happened and then Jess took a deep breath.

Chapter 12 part 2 (Jess's POV)

I held my breath as I sat on the floor. I knew that the breath I had now was the last breath I might take. That's when I heard a knock on the glass behind me. I slowly turned and my eyes widened to see Seth leaning up against the glass. Sara, Uncle Jack and Alex were standing behind looking at me with worried eyes. I used the last of my strength to lift myself to my knees and crawl over to him before I could even hold myself up and my knees gave out. I sat by the glass and remembered a scene like this I had seen in a movie. I slowly reached my hand up and rested it on the glass so it was a lined with his. We just stared at each other before I couldn't do it anymore. So I opened my mouth and the air my lungs wanted to find wasn't there. My hand fell from the glass and I slide to the floor desperately trying to find any air. The burn in my lungs slowly started to fade and it was like my whole body was going numb.

"Jess!" I heard Seth shout. As my eyes closed I saw snow falling around me and I smiled. Finally when the darkness took over it felt weird. I don't know what I was expecting, but I thought for sure Heaven would be that whole "There's a light" thing you know. To my surprise I did see a light after a few seconds, but it was odd. Instead of the light you walk into it was like a television. I watched as no other than Seth showed on the screen. I looked around to make sure this was really happening because I'm pretty sure things like this only happen in movies, but sure enough it was real. I watched as the screen showed the moment I had fallen asleep in the cab ride back to Las Vegas. I had fallen into Seth's lap and he was just watching me. His hand slowly came up and starting running over my hair. I smiled feeling happy that I got to see the soft side of Seth again. Of course the fun didn't end there (sarcastic). I felt a jolt, sort of like lightning, run through me and light flooded over me. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes to see Seth, Sara, Uncle Jack and Alex standing over me. Seth smiled and pulled me up to him holding me tight. I returned his hug and smiled into his shoulder. When I pulled back Sara attacked me into one of her hugs.

"What was I seeing?" I asked her.

"I gave you a vision to keep your mind thinking before I intercepted a brain wave and then sent it back to you which sent a shock through your mind." She explained. I smiled and Seth helped me up off the floor.

"Alright, let's go." Jack said and led us to a side latch door. He opened it and everyone filed through except me. Once everyone was through I gave Uncle Jack a huge hug.

"Thank you." I told him because I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for him. He just chuckled and hugged me back.

"No problem kid."
