"We need to get inside!" Matt shouts as he stares into the distance. "Why?" I ask, his sudden outburst confusing me. "Thats why!" He whispers pointing into the distance, where I can make out a group, no an army of Z's heading in our direction.

"Can't we catch a bleeding break." I mutter while we back into the shadows of the building. "Lets discuss this later." He says once we are inside with the door locked. "Discuss what later?" Shannon queries, in a suggestive tone, as we try to get everyone's attention. "QUIET!" Matt yells to get their attention and it worked.

"Listen up, everyone! There is an army of Z's coming this way and I'd bet Ghost and Scorpion sent them." Matt announces once we have everyone's attention. "We need to get out of here and fast!" I add as everyone begins to panic. "Calm down! I know a way out!" Oliver screams over everyone. We all turn to him waiting for him to finish.

"I found an underground passage that leads somewhere, but I haven't had a chance to explore it yet so I don't know exactly where it leads to." He finishes and then he walks over to the bathroom and lifts a tile. I walk over and look down, I can't see much because it is too dark. "Can somebody hand me some kind of light, quick." I say and within seconds somebody hands me one. I shine the light down and realise it isn't too deep, it is maybe six or seven feet. I jump down and look around it isn't a passage, it is a room. It is an underground shelter.

"You're definitely going to want to see this, all of you." I shout up to everyone. Within seconds everyone is down and the tile is back in place.

"How long do we have to stay down here?" Tara asks her brother and he looks around hoping for an answer. "Ehm not long, sis." He replies as he holds her close.

"Oh but it's boring down here!" She moans. "And it's dangerous up there now sit down and quit moaning!" He orders her getting angry.

"How did they find us?" Shannon asks quietly so the others wouldn't hear. "I don't know." I reply just as quiet. "Isn't it obvious, someone here is an eye for Ghost." Justin states a little too loud.

"What do you mean an eye for Ghost?" Ben butts in. "Good work, Justin. So who is it then?" I ask out of curiosity.

"My bets on her ex-boyfriend over there." Jordan points at Matt. "You really think so?" Jessie asks. "Who are Ghost and Scorpion?" Eoin asks. "They're the people we're hiding from." Justin replies casually. "They want to kill us." Shannon adds. "Oh, so we're in danger if we stay with you!" Eoin bellows as he throws something across the small room. "Shhhhh!" Jordan says as he tackles him and gets him in a head-lock. After a few seconds he falls unconscious.

"Maybe that wasn't what you should have done." Matt comments. "Shut up, you." Jordan threatens him. "Calm down it was a joke." Matt responds. "Screw you!" Jordan shouts at him. Matt deosn't know what to say, he just looks at Jordan completely confused.

"It was you wasn't it! It's your fault Leah's gone! It's your fault everything bad is happening to us! It's you, you're their inside man!" Jordan screams as he dives onto Matt and starts to punch him. "Get off!" Matt shouts at Jordan as he tries to push him off. "Somebody stop them or they'll find us!" Oliver orders. "Get up both of you!" Willow calls as we pry them apart. "Will you two just wait until those creatures have gone!" I whisper angrily to them.

"He's an eye for Ghost and Scorpion! Why do you care about what I do to him?" Jordan questions as I help Matt up. "Wait do you all actually believe I would do that? Be an eye for them?" Matt inquires, with anger and hurt in his voice.

"Don't even try to deny it!" Jordan orders him. "I wouldn't, I couldn't do that to you all. You took me in even though my brother tried to rape one of you and you let me stay even after you found out about me and Ghost. You're all like family to me! So why would I ever want to jeopardize that?" Matt states, standing his ground. "Oh, excellent speech. It really was." Jordan says, sarcastically, as he slowly claps. "Do any of you believe me? Or should I just go?" Matt asks, he sounds as if he is about to cry. " You should just go!" Jordan spits at him like he is just some dirt.
