The bond

Ren woke up and his right arm hurts he looked at it and thought it was weird also I feel really sluggish I'm really tired but I just woke up, Rebecca was awake and walked by Rens room and saw how he was stumbling around, what's wrong she asked, I don't know I woke up and I was so tired and weak I can barely move,

and I got a weird mark on my arm right here on the inside of my elbow. Rebecca looked and said you better lay down and get some more sleep.

Ren did as he was told and went to bed he fell asleep pretty fast as Rebecca was out the door, Ren out like a light.

Rebecca ran to find Ex,Casper and Jerry, they were at the table nursing hangovers and trying to eat something.

Rebecca barged into the kitchen and started to yell Heim is in Austria, what how do you know,

ask Ex because he took blood from Ben I just know it, how...how do you know?

Because Ren has a mark on the inside of his elbow and he is extremely tired, oh he's tired because he was up all night crying for Spot, I heard him when I got home last night he was crying in his sleep and crying out for Spot.

No this is different than that, if he was just tired he wouldn't be stumbling around weak as a newborn.

Well did you get any reports asked Ex ,no you know that reports are hard to get around here

and they aren't always accurate.

Well we aren't going all over the country looking for him, well we aren't said Rebecca you guys are and it's not all over the country its going to be just one place Heims mother in laws place and that is only an hour away from here.

Just then a knock was at the door Rebecca looked out the spy hole and saw Pete, Rebecca opened the door and Pete pushed his way into the house, what is it Pete Rebecca asked, well Pete said we need to get him out tonight they are supposed to execute him in three days,

We are not prepared to do that tonight we need intel we need a car and we need more weapons and ammo.

Pete said you didn't make a plan yet, then Rebecca said how can we make a plan without any information. That's stupid no information no plan.

Pete said we have been sending you information on the SS every day.

We haven't had any information since we've been here.

Then Rebecca's eyes got big as she realized that the intel runner is a spy, she yelled for the guy's we've been compromised, instantly all the guy's got up and grabbed their weapons and Jerry ran up stairs to grab Ren, Rebecca ran to the kitchen and got her weapons and the bug out bags

Pete was standing by the front door when he heard glass breaking and a thud Pete walked over to see what it was and BOOM, the grenade went off, shaking the house the sound made Rebecca disoriented and she looked around at everything, it looked like it was happening in slow motion.

Ex had to grab her by the arm and drag her out the back door Jerry was already outside with a passed out Ren slumped over his shoulder, Casper helped drag Rebecca out and went back inside to hold the enemy at bay until the rest had gotten away, Jerry flipped a big butcher's block table on it's side and used it for cover Jerry and Ex by that time had reached the forest two soldiers came rushing inside the kitchen and Casper killed them quickly , then Casper saw a fire that the grenade had started by the entrance to the kitchen and got a belt of ammo out of his bag and threw it into the fire he then fired a couple rounds , grabbed Rebecca's bugout bag that she had dropped and was out the door like a flash.

They didn't stop at the edge of the forest their plan was simple get to where they first met Ren, if separated meet there.

Ex still half dragging Rebecca was getting tired the adrenaline was going away and he was now at a brisk walking pace and breathing very heavily, then they heard a couple of gunshots and a couple more, I told Casper not to stick around and play if something should happen then a few moments later multiple gunshots could be heard and Rebecca was cursing Casper, that idiot's going to get himself killed.

They had just caught up to Jerry and he asked what happened to Casper, I don't know Rebecca answered, gunshots could still be heard in the distance.

Should we go back and help him and Rebecca said yeah let's go get him, get who Casper asked.

If your here then who is still shooting back there, I saw it in a movie Casper said I threw some ammo into a fire and let nature take it's course.

Clever said Ex I have to remember that, then they were off to the rendezvous point even though they were all there they stick to the plan.

As they arrived at the designated place,

a very serious conversation ensued, who ratted us out, hey Ex said weren't you talking to Pete when all this went down, oh yeah said Rebecca I think the grenade got him, damn now we won't know the messager and put his ass on display downtown, Ex added.

What we need to focus on is Ben, I know he is nearby Rens arm is all red on his elbow well the inside of his elbow she corrected herself.

What if its nothing, what if it's just a bug bite,

so what if it is we have no place to go, might as well head out to Heims mother in laws house.

Yes I agree said Jerry we have nothing else here but an enemy that probably knows what we look like and we don't have any clue as to what they look like and their plans for the town.

Casper what are you thinking should we look for Ben or just relax here, let's get out of here okay I need to go to the bathroom really bad, damn hangovers.

Well Ex we've been bumping heads for awhile now are you going to agree or are you going home.

The thing about home is that I don't have one

I have nothing in the real world.

Only you guys, so yeah I will go.

Jerry put Ren down and said that kid is heavier than he looks.

Ren is still resting and is dead to the world

even if he did wake up in the conversation, he wouldn't understand.

As for the team we are just glad everyone is sitting around and not comprehended.

All of them were off to look for Heims
