"Ready dude," Hunter and I strap our gas masks on.

"Ready," Hunter hooks his arm around my shoulder and in his other hand, he holds a one bomb ready while I'm the best shot out of all three of us so I have the knock-out gun.

We used the stair which wasn't completely open so we got down a good amount before we needed to be silent. We got halfway down the open part of the staircase before we hear shouting coming at us so we thought it best to get out of there just a little quicker, you know so we don't get killed.

We rush out of the door as fast as I could carry Hunter, making it to the car I place Hunter in the passenger seat quickly. There were guys still coming after us so I get into the driver seat since Hunter can't drive in his condition throwing the bag into the backseat I turn on the car and once I do the other guys run over to their cars and are firing guns at us as I speed the car away.

After turning a bunch of corners we are close to where Hope lives, 'thank god some cover,' I thought aloud.

I turn down her street and stop a few houses down from hers turning off the car quickly the guys that were chasing us thankfully don't turn down the same road we do but drive pass quickly thinking we went that way. Getting out the car I grab the bag then go over to Hunters side and get him out we get to Hopes house and I put the bag in her bushes which makes some noise, walking up her front steps towing Hunter along as soon as I was about to knock on her door, it swung open to reveal a surprised Hope with her hand for some reason behind her back wearing only two towels one on her hair and one against her body.

Without a word, she lets us in and I guide Hunter to the living room while Hope locks the door behind her or so I think that's what she did I heard a heavy clicking noise. Laying him down on one couch and I sit on the other couch across from him. Hope comes into the room and looks at me with furrowed brows probably wanting to know what happened but she can't know that would be up to Hunter or his dad but he's not awake.

"Okay one what happened to you guys and two why are you two here and not at a hospital," she whispered, keeping her voice low so she wouldn't wake anyone up.

"I can't tell you," I said flatly.

"What do you mean you can't tell me why you're in my house late at night covered in bruises," She whisper yelled.

"Exactly what it means, I can't tell you," once again I flatly told her.

Hope turned around and took a deep breath, afterward she walks off into a room. She returns with a box in her hand wearing a robe instead of a towel as she gets closer I see it's a first aid kit.

She comes over to me I give her a questioning stare wondering why she's just going to drop the fact I won't answer her questions and help me out. She focuses on my bruises and cuts and cleans them. After she finishes with me she walks over to Hunter and does the same to him that she did to me. She examines near his shoulder then afterward she looks back into her kit and grabs out a needle and thread.

"Wait what are you going to do with that needle," I ask looking at her with a death stare.

"I'm going to stitch up a deep wound that's on his shoulder," she said turning back to Hunters sleeping body. I wonder how she knows how to do that. Once she has finished taking care of both of us she goes back into the bathroom to put everything away. I hear the water run thinking she might be cleaning something, she walks out and looks over at me. I study her defensive pose. As she crosses her arms waiting for me to reply but probably already knowing I'm not going to answer.

"Now are you going to tell me what happened to you guys," she looks at me expectedly with her hands on her hips.

"No," once again I stay stiff.

"Are you going to tell me why your here?"

"No," I know I came to her house and all but she can cool it with the third degree.

"Okay, why not?" She pressed on.

"Because," technically is a real reply.

"Because of what?"

"Because it's not just my choice to tell you anything, Hunter and I would have to talk over that, and I don't think he will want to so don't get your hopes up," I huff looking away.

"Okay, fine but are you guys going to sleep here tonight?" She says with a sigh.

I nod.

"Well I'm going to go to bed then, but first I'm going to double-check the locks," she turns and leaves over to the front door hearing buttons being pressed and the doors automatically locking. Hope then walks up the stairs most likely to her room while I sit here and take a nap hoping Hunter will wake up soon.

Three hours later, I wake up to hear someone saying my name.

"Tyler, Tyler wakes up."

I open my eyes to see Hunter next to me holding his arm.

"Come on we need to get out of here," he said in an urgent, pained manner.

Shaking my head I help him up and out of the house to his car I once again take place in the driver's seat and I drive us to his house. At least we got out alive is all I could think when I remembered that Hunter's dad may be pissed if he found out that were missing.

So how was this chapter? I don't think I'm that good with action so I tried as best I could.

What do you think Hope thinks happened to the guys?

~^•^~

This happens to be the longest chapter I have ever written for any of my books so I hope you enjoyed.
