Them

Chapter 9

“Do you know where they took him?”

“Yeah, I might have an idea.”

“We can go get him we can bring him back.”

“What would we do with him when we got back. Hide him in your room.”

“What about here?”

“They’ll probably be watching here.”

“Wouldn’t they watch my house too?”

“Why would they be watching your house?”

“Red is probably the one who got him taken away.” He got up and went to the door. “Where are you going?”

“To see Red.” I went over to him and made him look at me.

“You get in a fight and one of the doctors or one of the other kids see you’ll get taken too.” I pulled him over to the couch then sat him down.

“Then what are we going to do?”

“You said that you had at idea where he could be?”

“Yeah?”

“How do we get there?”

“Even if you can get there without being caught, we don’t know exactly where he’s being held and what condition he’s in.”

“Then were going to need help,”

“Who’s going to help us?”

“I think I have an idea, but we have to go now.”

“Hold on I want to go grab some stuff.” He said as he got up. I fallowed him to his room; he grabbed a bag, went over to his dresser and started grabbing clothes.

“Ready?”

“Yeah.” We left but when we got to the bottom of the stairs there were two doctors. “Come over here.” He pulled my arm and we hid on the other side of the steps. The door opened and we hide until we heard a door open and then close. “Okay, go.” We ran back to the other side and slowed down when my house was in sight.

When we got inside there was no one in the living room.

“Who are you going to ask?”

“Sam.”

“Why Sam?”

“I don’t know, she was the first person that popped in my head.” I walked through the main room to the hallway on the other side. At the end of the hallway there were stairs we went up to the second floor.

“Where are we going?”

“Sam’s room, I thought it would be a good place to start looking for her.” I paused in front of a door I wasn’t completely sure was hers and knocked on it.

“Come in.” Said a voice on the other side. I opened the door and we went in. “Rose what’s up?”

“I wanted to see if you would help us.”

“Help with what?”

“My brother was taken by the doctors and we’re going to get him back.” Alex said and Sam got up and closed the door.

“What are you talking about?”

“My brother was taken by doctors.” He said again slowly.

“Okay I heard you the first time. I thought you were an only child.” Sam said as she sat on her bed.

“No, my brother is a doctor.”

“He was taken this morning.” I told her.

“Wait if you brother’s a doctor then how are you here?”
