The three men walked though the woods. Nick couldn't walk that fast so it was hard to keep a fast pace. They stayed far from the roads and kept hidden behind bushes and trees.
"Kev." Nick whispered wincing in pain. "I need to rest."
"Ok. but we can only stop for a few minutes. We can't have them on our trail." Kevin said helping Nick sit down. "AJ How are you holding up?" Kevin asked looking at a tired and hurting AJ.
"I'll be ok." AJ said rubbing his legs. Kevin stood up after helping Nick down and looked around to make sure they were all clear.
"The hide out is about 10 minutes from here. We should keep moving till we get there. then you can rest all you want guys cause you will have time to rest." Kevin said going back over to Nick. "Can you make it for 10 minutes?" Nick nodded. He didn't want AJ and Kev to be caught because he needed to rest. He would last the 10 minutes. Kevin helped him up and they begain walking again.

Angel sat at the table playing with the food in front of her. She hadn't eaten a bit. Brian sat accross from her worried.
"Angel you need to eat something or you will get sick." Brian said tring to break her out of her daze.
"What does it matter? We are all gonna die anyway." Angel said putting down the plastic fork. Brian got up and went to Angels side of the table and sat down.
"Don't think like that. I am sure Nick and Kevin will be just fine." Brian said pulling Angel in to a hug trying to convince her and himself in to beliving they were ok. When he didn't know for sure. "Please eat. for me?" Brian said then pouted. Angel chuckled a little bit.
"Brian not fair. Don't do that." Angel said but brian kept making the face. "Fine i'll eat.. just stop with the face." She said and he put a big goofy grin on his face. She laughed. "Jackass." Brian smiled as he watched her eat.

"Ok it is 100 yards away." Kevin said pointing to a big tree in the distance. Then he heard dogs in the distance. "Guys we gotta run." Kevin said picking up the pace. AJ came over to help with Nick. With Kevin and AJ on each side of Nick they helped carry/ run him to the hide out. They reached it just in time. As the closed the under ground door Kevin saw the dogs come into view.
"Just made it. Ok lets get you to fixed up." Kevin said bringing to two men down the hall to the main door to the hide out.
Kevin nodded to the guy at the desk and brought Nick and AJ to the make shift infermary. The two men laid on the last 2 cots free. Kevin told the two men he would be right back.
He walked down the hall to see Brian and Angel in the "bedroom" talking.
"KEVIN!" Brian yelled and ran over to hug his cousin.
"Did you find Nick?" Angel said full of hope.
"Angel come with me. You too Brian." Kevin said then lead them back to the infermary.
