chapter 3 Why must I do everything

She's here wake up, Alex kicked me in the side. "You could of just shook me a little, that kinda hurt. "Sorry you're just a heavy sleeper so I wasn't sure you would get up. "Here are your access cards it's how you will get around the city without too many restrictions. "Wait what do you mean restrictions? "I'm just a helper for now I dont know a whole lot about the rules here. "So you're not even an official soldier? I asked bluntly. She looked at the floor for a moment then back at us. "No, I suppose not I'm just doing everything I can to help people, no one else seems to care. Sorry he didn't mean to offend you, Oscar just isn't in the right head space at the moment. Alex said putting his hand on my chest pushing me back slightly. Well if you need anythung from me just go to the front gate you'll find me there mostly, have a good morning you two? She left almost as soon as she entered. I turned to look Alex in the eyes. "Not just not in the right head space huh, I can take care of myself you don't need defend me. "I'll try not to in the future. Alex replied. "So what now we just love out our days here until those things break in?

I'm going out for a bit and see if I can't find anything out. Alex left before I said anything else. I waited in what seemed like hours I had never been so bored of waiting. After sitting there for a while longer, I decided to go find Vanessa. Street's were filled with people, a lot still tramutized from everything that's occured. Family's mostly, and the ones who looked as if they had been planning something. I probably should of left a note for Alex, It should be fine. It wasn't long before I spotted Vanessa at the gates. "Vanessa! As I hollered she quickly looked up, only to change her expression as if she were annoyed. "Did you want something from me? She asked. "Just some information, do you know what's going on? "No, she paused, but, no never mind.

"No you were about to say something, what is it? "Can you keep a secret? Vanessa started to quiet her voice and led me away from the gates. "Yeah, I continued so what's going on? "Well I plan to sneak into the commanders quarters tonight and find out what they're hiding I know something is going on. "How are you so sure? "Are you in or not? it's my only lead. Vanessa stared long and hard. "Fine I'm in, I cant say the same about Alex, so where should I meet you if you're doing this. I'll meet you at your place, just be prepared. "So instead of getting information I end up joining an amature heist. I thought to myself. "Vanessa! Get your butt in gear you have work to do. "I gotta go, Be prepared She shouted back. "Now what? head back maybe? great now I'm talking to myself.

"Oscar? where were you? "At the gates, did you manage to find a anything out? "No seems everyone had their lips sealed tight and the soldiers wouldn't even talk to me. Alex continued, This is bullshit I know they know something. "I slumped down on the wall. Seems you're not the only one who thinks that. "Why do you say that? Vanessa thinks the military know something and won't disclose the information, and tonight we plan to find out you in? "No, I'm not, this place is safe I don't want to ruin that for us. "Us? his words infuriated me, there is no us you dragged me here without even giving me a choice, I had to kill my own mother because of you. I am not your friend and we never were. "I know you're upset because of what happened. Alex started to calm himself although my words had hit like daggers. I will not let you do this. "Just try and stop me Alex. Before I even had a chance to get up Alex put me a hold attempting to knock me out "Damn you I muttered between my breaths. in only a matter of seconds between my struggles I passed out. Vanessa knocked on the door. Alex? uh is Oscar here? We have a date. "He just went to bed sorry. I stood up quietly and bolted towards the door. Guess he didnt know I was faking it, I woke up several hours ago. Run! I shouted to Vanessa. It didnt take long for her to figure out what happened. Alex attempted to grab me but missed by inches. "Where are we going? I asked her. "Turn left here and I'll guide us from there.
