"Well, we're here! Flagstaff Arizona!" I announced as Lauren, Erik and I approached the city border. "Finally! I'm starving! Where can we get a bite to eat?" Erik asked. "Hey look! A hot dog stand!" Lauren exclaimed, pointing to a small hot dog stand. "Yum!" Erik said. "Hold up. Do we even have money?" I asked. "You love spoiling the fun, don't you?" Erik asked. I ignored him, looked around to make sure no one else was looking, and started making small tears in my clothes. "What are you doing?" Lauren and Erik asked. "You'll see." I answered as I tore off one of my sleeves. I then scuffled my hair and started rubbing dirt onto my skin. "You look homeless." Erik said. "Exactly. We're from Tucson, and Tucson burnt down. I'm sure that by now, the entire state of arizona knows. Media travels fast. If I look homelss AND I tell him I'm from Tucson, I'm sure I could get a free meal out of him." I explained. "Hey, that's actually a pretty good idea." Erik said. "Only one problem." Lauren said. "What?" I asked. "You look dirty and all that, but do you look hungry?" Lauren asked. I suddenly got what she meant. I looked down at my stomach, and realized that I could benefit from cutting down on the snicker doodles. I'm not fat or anything, but I'm not exactly skinny as a rail either. "Yeah, she has a point. If only we had someone skinny..." Erik mumbled. We both looked at Lauren. "What?" She asked. I picked up a bunch of dirt and smiled evilly. "Oh no. You are NOT going to do that." Lauren argued. I prepared to throw the dirt in her face. "Will, I swear, if you throw that, I-" She began to say. SPLAT! "Okay... you asked for it." Lauren said. Erik threw dirt at her.
In a few minutes, the 3 of us were on the floor, absolutely covered in filth. We all looked at each other, and couldn't help but chuckle. "I'll bet we could get 3 times as many hot dogs if we all go in like this." Erik suggested. We got up and started limping over to the hot dog stand, moaning like zombies. (or like a bunch of kids, but what's the difference?) We approached the man, but before I could get a word in, he said, "Ye kids may be better off going over to that manhole lid over yonder and knockin on it if ye want better quality food. Them Genetons er always willin to 'elp ther own kind." "How did you know we were Genetons?" I asked. "I saw you usin yer sparkly finger in that sqwable ye kids had just a minute ago." "Uh... I didn't use my sparkly finger!" I exclaimed, realizing that Lauren and Erik were both looking at me kind of upset. Lauren smacked me on the back of the head and said, "I THOUGHT I felt a zap!" "Okay, okay, maybe I did use my powers. But hey, if I hadn't, he wouldn't have told us where the Geneton Base was!" I exclaimed.
We thanked the man, ran over to the manhole lid, and knocked on it. It opened automatically, and the 3 of us climbed down the ladder. The manhole shut on its own, and we were completely in the dark. "Anyone bring a flash light?" Erik asked. "No, but I got this." I replied. I generated 2 balls of electricity in my hands, smashed them together, and expanded them. The light wasn't great, but we could see.
Honestly, we didn't like what we saw. In front of us, a man that looked like a general was holding a gun to my forehead! How had we not noticed him before? "So, we finally meet face to face, Will. Any last words?" The general asked. "hold up! If you kill me, you'll never know where the treasure is buried!" I exclaimed. "What treasure?" Lauren, Erik, and the General asked in unison. "The treasure of... Imaweener." I replied. "I'm a weener?" The general asked in confusion. "You stole that from the Simpson's Movie." Erik said. "Yeah, that was pretty dumb." Lauren said. "Yeah, I know, but I'm bored." I replied. "Okay. Any serious last words?" the general asked. "Nope." I answered, "I do!" Erik exclaimed. "What?" The General asked, now looking at Erik.
Erik turned into a spark and zapped the general's hand with the gun! "AAARGH!" The general shouted in pain, dropping the gun. Lauren grabbed it and put it up to the General's head. "MOVE!" she commanded. "Whoa. I didn't know she had that in her." Erik said. "Neither did I!" I exclaimed. "You 2 stay." Lauren commanded. "Why?" I asked. "This could get bloody." Lauren answered. Gulp. Did she really have it in her to kill this guy? If she did, I didn't want to see. I hate dead bodies. Lauren lead the General away, leaving Erik and I alone. "Do you think she'll actually do---" Erik began to ask. BANG! Suddenly, we heard a quick scream, but it ended as fast as it had started. "---it?" Erik finished. We were both trembling. She'd actually killed him. Lauren returned to us and said, "The deed is done." We just stared at her with our mouths wide open. "What? Are you guys trying to catch flies or something?" Lauren asked. "Did you actually..." I asked, but I couldn't finish the sentence. She sighed and said, "You guys are such wimps. Yes, I did. Now, let's go." Lauren commanded. This was a side of Lauren I had never seen before. My best friend? A murderer? I know the guy was gonna kill us, but still! Lauren? A killer? It didn't make sense!
We came out of the sewers back into the city. The hot dog stand was long gone. "It was a trap." Erik said. "Gee, ya think?" Lauren asked. "Guys, I don't think we should stop moving until we get to Canada. Who knows what could happen if we stay put for even a second now?" I asked. "Yeah, that'd be smart." Lauren said. O: hmmm.... ; What is it, Ozad? ; Oh, uh, nothing. I'm probably just being paranoid. ; If I were you, I'd trust a gut feeling. Especially sense you're you. ; Well, it's just, I'm getting a bad vibe from the girl. ; Lauren? You're crazy. ; She just killed a man. ; He would have killed us. ; Yes, but still... oh never mind. It's probably nothing. And I think you're right. Keep moving, never stop. "Well, guys, guess it's time to go." I said, and grabbed both their arms. I ran north as fast as I could.
Several days later...
"WILL!!!" Kayla shouted as she opened the door to see who was knocking. We'd gotten to Canada already, and were now at Kayla's house. "Hey, Kayla!" I replied. "Wait, hold up. Will, how is it that you're suffering from amnesia, and yet you still remember her?" Lauren asked. "I remember SOME things." I said. "Oh, so you remember Kayla, but you don't remember your best friend, me? Now I feel appreciated." Lauren said, but I knew she was joking. I always do. I punched her lightly on the arm, and then Kayla invited us in. "How did you guys get here? I didn't see a car or anything." Kayla questioned. "We ran." I answered. "You couldn't have gotten here so fast! Tucson burnt down about 3 weeks ago. On foot, it would have taken you months to get here!" Kayla exclaimed. "Oh really?" I asked. I ran to the kitchen as fast as I could, got a glass of water, and came back. All in 3 seconds!
"Wow, that was fast! How'd you do that?!?" Kayla asked. "You remember my power, right?" I asked. "Yeah, but what's that got to do with it?" Kayla asked. "I strengthen the electrical impulses in my muscles, allowing me to run faster." I said. "SO CONFUSING!!!" Kayla shouted, waving her hands above her head. "Are all of your friends this wierd?" Erik asked. "YUP!" I exclaimed. "Who are you?" Kayla asked Erik. "I'm Erik." Erik answered. "Yeah, apparently we met a few days before tucson burned down." I said. "Apparently?" Kayla asked. "Amnesia." Lauren reminded her. "Then how do you remember me?!?" Kayla asked. "I don't know. I think the amnesia only goes back a few months. I've known you for 2 years, whereas I've only known Lauren for 2 or 3 months." I explained.
"So, what brings you guys up here, anyways?" Kayla asked. "Well, we're searching for a red rock." I answered. Lauren pulled out the Topaz. "It looks exactly like this rock, accept that it's red." I said. "Hey! I think I saw that at the jewelry shop the other day!" Kayla exclaimed. "Really?" I asked in disbelief. "Yeah! Come on, I'll show you!" Kayla exclaimed, running for the door. "Hold up. Could we rest for a bit? Like, a few days? I've been running for a week straight with no breaks whatsoever." I complained. "Oh. Okay." Kayla said. "So, where's a bed?" I asked. "Up the stairs, second door on the right." Kayla answered. I ran up to the second floor, flopped onto the bed, and fell asleep.
Meanwhile, at the GHA HQ...
"Sir, there appears to be a letter for you!" A troop exclaimed as he ran into the General's office. "Give it to me. I'm expecting it." The General commanded. The soldier gave the letter to the general and ran out of the room. (Yes, it is the same General as before.) The General opened the letter and proceeded to read it. He pressed a button on the desk in front of him and shouted, "Send all troops to Lethbridge Canada, now!" He took his finger off of the button, and sat down in his chair. "Foolish Genetons. Completely unawair of your demise, right on the front door." He said.
