Ok here i go with the same song and dance if you made it this far please review so i canmake myself better :)

“You are going to do what I think you are?” I asked Alex leaning forward so my face was next to his earning myself a little scream of pain from Steve, I ignored it.

“ do you honestly think they would spare us if they had the chance?” Alex asked me making a good point.

I didn’t have time to answer because I was violently throw back into my seat as Alex put the truck into gear and speed forward. The five figures in front of us held up their guns and opened fire. I threw my head into Steve’s lap and he wrapped himself around me trying to get down too. I heard bullets rain all over the truck ,the windshield crack as one or two whistled by above our heads shattering the back window on their way out. My heart was beating so fast I thought it was going to explode from my chest. James squeezed my arm for comfort. I looked to the side not moving my head higher then I had to, to look at James he just gave me a reassuring smile and I tried to give one back but at this moment I didn’t feel like making reassuring gestures because I was so sure myself that we would make it out of this.

A second later there was a thump and he gun fire stopped. Alex screamed out in excitement. I looked up to see only four figures standing. The fifth was no where to be found . James pointed to the ground just behind the truck. There was a dark red line will other chunkier stuff following us . I looked away putting my hand to my mouth trying to swallow the bile that was climbing up my throat. That explained the big thump. I looked forward and saw that we had a long drive ahead of us. There where tanks and solders every where. How in the hell did they get all this here with out any one detecting or stopping them I wondered in disbelieve. Then my thought when back to a comment James said earlier that day ‘You know they are sending so many troops over there that now would be the perfect time for someone to attack us’ I didn’t actually think that the government would be that stupid but I guess I was wrong.

“We barley got threw the five back there, how do you expect us to get threw all those ” I asked almost panic stuck, referring to the dozens of tanks now flooding the streets.

“We don’t” James said now getting all excited about something. “ pull over there” he pointed into a small ally way between buildings. Alex did as he said and pulled in as far as he could with out smashing into the wall.

“Ok! here is what I was thinking, we could get wherever we need to go faster on the roof tops. The buildings and houses are so close together it shouldn’t be a problem. Plus the solders will never think to look above them.” he explained all proud of his idea. We all just stared at him in shock not knowing what to make of his suggestion. It was a pretty good plain but every good plain has its flaw and I found his.

“ ok! two things, Steve cant jump with his leg and what happened when we run out of roof tops to jump then we are stuck” I pointed out braking every ones spirits.

“I will be fine I have dealt with a lot worse pain them this” Steve said “ we would just have to get the bullet out before it could do any more damage when I jump”

“ why don’t we just do what James says and go roof top to roof top until we can’t any more, that should take us all the way to the outskirts of the city which is about three miles away form here and all the tanks, and then we can go from there. Plus Mena ,don’t you live on the outskirts, we could get your sister before its too late” Alex said to me, and suddenly I was all for it. I had completely forgot about my sister and was now kicking myself in the but for it. We had to get her!

Once we all agreed to a plan we all got out of the truck and headed inside the building we where park in front of . The first thing we had to do was find a room so we could get the bullet out of Steve’s leg. When we walked in we found that it was an office building and to our surprise every one was still inside working. We just stood there in the door way all bloody and shaken, with two of us holding a man with his leg shot up. You could only imagine the looks we got. We all walked down the hall ignoring all the strange looks we where getting . There where people leaning out of their office doors to look at us. One guy even laughed and asked us if we just came back from a war. Can you say DUH!!

“don’t you people go out side or look out the windows or even better watch the news” I screamed in the guys face after he made that smart comment. I was so not in the mood

“ oh sweet heart, we have a smoking room inside and there are no windows, so why would we need to go outside or look out there. Plus the TV’s have been out all day” he said with a sly grin like he he was smarter then me.

I didn’t no what to do so I did the only thing I wanted to do, I slapped that sly grin right off his face he looked at me like I was nuts and I proudly was at that point.

“ look here everyone” James said giving out a high picked whistle with is fingers in the corner or his lips and then clap his hands to get every ones attention. He already did so I don’t know what the extra effort was, but once he new he did he started again as loud as he could so every one could hear him. “ there are tanks and solders outside attacking the beach and streets right now we don’t know where they are from or why they are here” he started. We new dame well why they where here but he left they little fact out, they could figure it all out for themselves we sure as hell had to.

“they are outside and will proudly be attacking you all in a hour or two so I would take this precious time to get the hell out of here” he continues with little effect.

I think three people even laughed at him. “who hired you guys, I mean I almost believed that slap and that leg … wow” the guy I just slapped said now laughing again putting his hand on Jame’s shoulder. Some people even joined him about how believable we where. James grabbed the guy by the shirt and shook him with furry in his eyes.

“ listen you jack ass this isn’t a joke” he said shacking him again harder.

“ok…ok…. We believe you” the guy said gently removing James hands and backing up he looked to his colleagues and waved his hand in circles around his ear , the infamies ‘your crazy’ sign getting laughs in respond.

That was it I had enough I stalked to the smart ass and punched him square in the jaw he went to the floor hard grabbing his jaw in shock . He looked at me in disbelief. I stood above him fist clenched huffing. Alex grabbed me pulling me back to this world “come on their not going to listen, they think we are crazy” he said pulling me down the hall leaving James to help Steve.

“how crazy dose that sound any way” Alex started “ I mean who would believe the United Stated of America was under siege”

I had to admit if someone came running into the club babbling on like we did just now, I would think they had one to many shots. But we didn’t have time to joke around and laugh about what just happened we had to find a room and something sharp to get the bullet out of Steve’s leg.

There was a door at the end of the hall and we took it. It was a stairwell leading up, the way we wanted to go. Alex went to help James pull Steve up the stairs and we began to climb. We went about four storey before we decided we should find a room. We went in the door leading to that level and to our luck there was no one there. We went down the hall until we found a conference room. Alex went and threw everything off of the table that was in the middle of the room as I helped James lay Steve on the table. He hissed in pain because he has his leg bent for so long. The dry blood around the rage James put on the bullet hole became wet again as he straightened the leg out.

“ ok James stay with him, me and Alex can look for something to dig the bullet out with” I said heading for the door, Alex following. I turned and ran down one side of the hallway and Alex went the other. I ran into the first office I saw. It was a cute office. It had pictures of Hawaii hanging up on every wall. There was even a snow glob on the desk it had a snowman sitting on the beach it was engraved on the bottom with ‘Hawaiian Christmas’ I sat down at the desk and started to ripe it apart. The first drawer had nothing but envelopes and letters in it the second one was a lose too . I opened the middle draw and my heart jumped with joy there was a envelope opener and a sharp one too. Right next to it was a pair of very sharp scissors. I grabbed them both and started to run back down the hall way to get Alex .I found him in the second office on his side of the hall. I held my prizes in the air. He held up a sewing kite to me and smiled. “ I love old ladies” he said holding up a picture that was on the desk. There was a picture of an old lady surrounded by five little kids which I presumed to be her grandkids.

“You never no when you are going to loose a button” I laughed at my own joke.

We both ran back to the conference room and put everything we had on the table. Now just to figure out who was going to go digging.
