Help... Help... that is what John heard when he was out exploring a old prison on mars Help me please. John was with a group known as the fireflights, the fireflights are men who are like detectives and archeologist but instead of searching for bones or arresting people they are on mars trying to find one man named Mr.Microy. Mr.Microy was last seen when he was arrested for kidnapping, murder and robbery. Help... Help... there it was again then BOOM! The building collapsed.

Yes? what is this about well sir this is Richard donald calling about your sons condition well it seems like your son has been taken over by some sort of creature, Well do you know what it is then “no” we don’t know yet but we will call... John interrupted him well don’t call me until it’s out or you know what it is. who was that? asked Rose it was the doctor And... Rose asked curiously, they don’t have anything yet.
that night John was up while Rose was asleep.he was typing a story about the world ending and what you need to survive. Then John heard someone at the door he got up but before he got to the door they came in the men who call themselves fireflights. before John could say anything or scream he had a towel in his mouth and was lifted off his feet. The next morning Rose woke up and John wasn’t in the bed so she figured he went to work she went down stairs and found a note on the table

Thank you John you will not regret your choice. John was already beginning to regret his it. John was led to a room with three bunks in it but there was only one left a bottom one in the left corner. There were five other men in the cabin they were all asleep except for one. “ who are you” john asked my name is curtis he said it in a south western accent with a high voice what’s yours? my name is John Phillip Johanson I just came here from south dakota how long have you been here? A few years. another man came into the room and told John to come with him for private training. So what does this training consist of asked john well it consist of running jumping firing a weapon and whatever you signed up to be in the office. John was now trying to remember what he
signed up for then he remembered search and destroy. After all the training was done a loud speaker. Attention battalion 2-2-4-0 report to the briefing meeting immediately and get your emergency cards and be ready for take off.
An emergency card is a card that says your emergency number in case you get cut off from the other men it also has your battalion number and what you signed up for and it has your picture. my number is 224563. Is every one ready for take off, YES SIR. get on that ship and go to mars and find that man! John was caught in a rush of every other men going to the star light. curtis was in front of John waiting to load onto the shuttle.When I got on the shuttle it was beautiful there was a luxury room with champagne and a bunch of fancy foods the captain said hold on tight we are going to be going from zero to five hundred in a second. John heard a count down ten... nine... eight... I started to day dream about what mars would look like was it nice or ugly three... two... one... blast off I heard a rumble It felt like I snapped my neck at first but really I didn’t the captain said you would feel a slight pain and I guess he was right.
I heard the captain say that we were about to land in about a minute Ba boom! what had happened? am I dead? what did we hit? So many questions were going through my head. I started to walk around I found a man who was sitting next to me on his tag it said Jack Morris his legs were crushed from a refrigerator I finally came to mine that I saw in the distance thinking what ever hit is problem in here I heard a rumble I better get out of here before it collapses. Help... Help... who was that could he be the man we were looking for? Help...Help there it was again who was that person who was calling?
