Chapter 26: No Going Back Now

The last night's, had in fact been shit here, as it did in fact suck to me, as to the fact that I was not only sleeping beside 2 other grown men now, but I was sleeping beside hundreds of them, as the smell of the air was the worst that I had felt like I had ever smelled, as no one had a chance to clean them selves off as of late, none the less, as I knew that it made it all the worse, at the exact same time as well.

I wanted to breath in, to try to let it not bother me, but it was quite a bit hard for me to do as such a thing, due to the fact that I knew damn well, that if I was in fact to breath in, than I was simply going to breath in the nasty smell of the air that was all around me right now, as I knew that for sure was the last thing that I wanted to do, never the less, as I shook my head, doing my best to try to shake off all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time too.

I blinked my eyes a few times, as I then all of the sudden began to start to roll around in the bedding that I was in right now, as that was also another problem with the conditions that I was in right now, as I knew that it was not only hard to fall asleep, due to the smell, and all of the noise, but it was also the fact that it was hard to fall asleep, when the ground that was beneath me in the very first place any ways, was extremely uncomfortable, all at the exact same time as well.

I almost wanted to groan, but I was afraid as to the fact that it would wake the people that were beside me, that had some how seemed to manage to sleep through the entire night, all at the exact same time as well, some how. I let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, as I knew that it was besides the point how ever, as I knew that I should not at all be worried about those guys right now, either.

I got my mind off of all of those thoughts, as I knew that it was about too late to try to get some sleep at this point any ways, as I knew, as I could damn well see, none the less, that there was a piller of light coming from one of the sewage holes that went down on us, which I knew that no one wanted to get any where near that, all at the exact same time too, which I felt like I could not blame them for that, either.

I would be the same way too, as I then shook off all of those thoughts once again how ever. I knew it was going to be a rough day for me, though at the very least, I knew that I had got a little bit of sleep. I knew what this day was for at the exact same time as well, as I really wished that I had in fact got a good night of some sleep, as I had been really tempted to ask if I could crash the night at Susana's, as well.

I knew that I should not have that kind of benefit, and that kind of privilege such as that, as I knew that I really had not done any thing to deserve as such a thing, as I knew that a lot of people would get jealous of me, as to the fact that not only would I be able to sleep away from all of the guys that were around me right now, but I also would have a nice place to lay my head for the night, that would be quite a bit comfortable, and I would be able to get some good sleep on, never the less.

I shook my head, as I then shook off all of those thoughts, all at once, as I knew that it was too late for that any ways, so it was best not to think, nor was it good to dwell on it, in the very first place any ways, as I then all of the sudden shook my head, doing my best to shake away those kind of thoughts from my mind, all at the exact same time too, as I felt like I should think on some different thoughts that all of that.

The thoughts that I kind of felt like I should think on, of course, just so happened to be the fact that I felt like I should start to get up from my bed, before every one else did, so that I could get the first choice of the food that would be given to us in small proportions none the less. I nodded a bit to my self, after just a few moments more of some time, as I did in fact all of the sudden, begin to start to lift my self out of my bed, all at the exact same time too, as it felt quite a bit uncomfortable for me to do as such a thing, if I was not going to lie to my self, as well.

This time I groaned, as it felt like a little bit of an accident never the less, as I began to start to look around, to make sure that I had not startled any one, and to make sure that I had not woken any one up either. As I began to look around how ever, I saw that very much to my own surprise, there was already quite a few people up, right at this very moment in time, which did in fact turn their heads over to me, all at the exact same time as well.

They then looked away, as it seemed like they were disinterested in me right at this very moment in time too. It was fine with me, as I knew that I really did not want to draw any sort of attention right now, as I shook off all of those thoughts, all at once, as I then began to start to move around, now that I was the first one that seemed to get off of their very much uncomfortable bedding, all at the exact same time as well, as it almost seemed like they were all enjoying their place that they were resting on.

I knew that was not the case how ever, as I saw that once it was that a few people had all of the sudden began to notice that I was the first one that was going to step them selves up, and that I was going to be the first person that was going to lift them selves out of their bed, and get this day started, I did in fact see that a few people got the same idea as I had, as they then all of the sudden began to start to do the same, all at the exact same time too.

I rolled my eyes a bit, as I got my focus off of all of them, right at this very moment in time, as I got my focus on some thing that was altogether different than all of this, which was the fact that I then all of the sudden began to start to remember that I was going to go and talk to Cole and Amelia right at this very moment in time too. The only problem was how ever, was the fact that they were not where it was that their bedding had been at, never the less.

I was a little bit lost, and I was quite a bit confused by it none the less, as I tilted my head a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too as I got my mind, and my focus on the fact as to just where it was that they could have gone off to, and where it was that they could even be at, right at this very moment in time, in the very first place any ways, as I breathed in quite a bit to my self, as I did my best to try and keep my self calm, all at the exact same time too.

I began to start to head over to where it was that they usually slept at, as I felt like they could not be all too far away, as they could have simply woke up before I had, which would not surprise me either, as they could have easily decided that they had needed to go and take a piss, or a dump, which I knew that we did not do in this area, as we usually headed out of here, and we looked for a safe, and a bit of a discreet area to do as such at thing, all at the exact same time too.

I breathed in quite a bit to my self, as I did my best to try to keep my self calm, as I began to head over in that direction, all at the exact same time too. This felt like the most important day out of all of them, but for some odd reason or another, it seemed like they had all of the sudden gone missing. I was not all too sure about any of that, I was I was quite a bit worried, and I was quite a bit scared about all of it, all at the exact same time too, as I then stopped my self at their place.

It was clear that they had not packed their stuff up, so it was fairly clear to me that they had not left us with the intent to be gone permanently, luckily enough, at the very least, though I still felt like I could not be a bit worried, as this was a very important day for us, all at the exact same time too. It was clear to me that Noah had thought long and hard for all of this, and he had been planning all of this out for a very long time, all at the exact same time too.

He knew just where it was that we needed to go, and the fact that we needed every one for it, all at the exact same time as well. I breathed in quite a bit to my self, as I knew that we needed Cole and Amelia for this, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that we could not do it with out them. I saw that they had left their weapons on the bedding, so I was fairly certain that there was no possible way that they could be all too far away, right at this very moment in time any ways.

I blinked my eyes a few times, as I shivered a bit to my self, as I stood in this same spot that I was in, for quite a bit of some time, as I then all of the sudden blinked my eyes a few times, as I started to get my focus on all of my surroundings, all at the exact same time as well. I breathed in quite a bit to my self, all at once, as I could hear a voice of one man, as I he was speaking to another man that was right by his side, right at this very moment in time any ways.

I did not want to look at him, but I did in fact get my eyes on him from the corner of my eyes, all at the exact same time too, as I was quite a bit interested in just what it was that he had to say to each other in the very first place any ways, all at the exact time as well, as I stood there, and just pretended to be staring at the ground, when in reality, I was in fact listening as to just what it was that the man had to say to the other man that was right beside him, right at this very moment in time any ways, never the less.

"Man... What happens when all of said and done? Will every thing ever be the same? Will we just get to go back to our families? Will we even live?" He said to the other man, as it was a lot of good questions, if I was not going to lie to my self too, as I felt like I would be asking my self the exact same thing that he was, if I knew that I had left my Sandy, and my unborn baby back at my home in the city, all at the exact same time, as I shivered at just the thought of it, all at the exact same time too.

If I was going to be for real with my self, none the less. I kind of felt like if it were the case, and I would have known that we were leaving the city, to go to the capital, all at the exact same time too, which would most likely lead to our death none the less. I felt like I would be like some of the people had been, and I would have stayed back to take care of my wife, all at the exact same time too, as to the fact of all of the stuff that she was going through.

It still was a bit of a surprise to me, as to the fact that there had still be so many people that still wanted to go, all at the exact same time as well, as I breathed in quite a bit to my self, as I thought on the fact, that, once again, I knew that I did not have my wife right now, so I really could not say other wise in the very first place any ways, if that was in fact the case. I blinked my eyes a few times, as I then all of the sudden got my mind, and my focus off of all of those thoughts, all at once.

I knew that it was best not to think on just what it was that other people were thinking right now, as I knew that it was best to not let what it was that any of them were saying, to bother me right now. I knew that all of that was simply just not the case for me, so I should not even be thinking on the fact as to just 'what if it was'. I breathed in quite a bit to my self, as I knew that thinking that sort of way, and that kind of way, was going to make me weak, all at the exact same time as well.

I shook my head, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of those thoughts, all at once, as I was lucky to get a little bit of some help on to that fact, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden began to start to see a familiar face from the corner of my eyes, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that I was for real staring at the ground now. I saw that the person was heading to me right at this very moment in time too, how ever, as I kind of felt like I could not help but to turn my head over, and to look at them.

As I did in fact lift my head up, and I did in fact look over to the person, I then all of the sudden began to notice that the person that was coming to me, was Randy right at this very moment in time too. As I stared at him none the less, with a bit of a blank look on my face, as I then all of the sudden blinked my eyes a few times, all at the exact same time as well, as I was not all too sure as to just what it that I should do right at this very moment in time as well, as I breathed in quite a bit to my self, all at once.

I really did not want to hear any more had news, as to just what it was that he even had to say to me in the very first place any ways, as it kind of felt like it was bad enough as it was so far, already, due to the fact that I knew that it was due to the fact that Cole and Amelia were missing right now. I stared at him for just a little bit longer, all at once, as I then all of the sudden began to start to notice, all at the exact same time too, that he had then stopped him self, right in front of me, all at the exact same time too.

We seemed to stare at each other for just a little bit longer, until in the end how ever, I did in fact grow a pair of balls, all at once, as I then all of the sudden nodded to him, all at the exact same time too, as I felt like I wanted to let what it was that was bothering me right now, off of my chest first, before I heard what it was that he had to say to me, as I knew that it really was stressing me out quite a bit, all at the exact same time too, as I blinked my eyes a few times, as I did my best to try to keep my self as calm as I possibly could right now.

Randy seemed to stare at me for just a little bit longer, but in the end, he did in fact nod back to me, to let me know that he was paying attention to me right now, which I was quite a bit relieved to see from him right at this very moment in time too, as I let out quite a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at once, as I did in fact begin to start to speak to him, all at once, not all too much longer after all of that, as I knew that he was in fact listening as to just what it was that I even had to say to him in the very first place any ways.

"Cole and Amelia are gone... I am a little bit worried for them..." I said to him, as I saw that he seemed to stare at me with a bit of his own blank look on his own face, all at the exact same time too, none the less. It almost seemed like he had not heard as to just what it was that I had even said to him in the very first place any ways. Perhaps, it was just taking him a while to process the thoughts in him brain how ever, as I blinked my eyes a few times, and I got my mind off of all of those thoughts, all at once, as I did my best to try to keep my self calm.

I did in fact tilt my head over to him how ever, as I was a little bit lost as to just how it was, and why it was that he had not really under stood, nor had he seemed to comprehend as to just what it was that I had even just said to him in the very first place any ways. He just seemed to stare there for a very long time, which had me quite a bit worried about all of this, none the less, if I was going to be for real with my self, and I was going to be completely honest with my self, all at the exact same time as well.

I then all of the sudden began to start to squint my eyes at him, all at once, which I could tell that he had in fact seemed to notice me do as such a thing, all at once, all at the exact same time too, as he then all of the sudden blinked his eyes a few times, at first. It had then all of the sudden seemed to hit him, as to just what it was that I had even said to him in the very first place any ways, all at the exact same time too, as he then all of the sudden turned his head over to the bedding that both Cole and Amelia usually slept at.

Once again, they were no where to be seen, and they were no where near on the way back from using the bath room at this point, as well. I felt like it would not have taken them as long as it had at this point in time, all at the exact same time too, as it really was starting to worry me a bit. I wondered if they had all of the sudden decided that they were going to wussy out of the rebellion for some odd reason or another, when ever it was that we had got this far, all at the exact same time too.

That did not seem to make all too much sense to me how ever, as I felt like it was highly unlikely for that to be the case, all at the exact same time too, as I then all of the sudden shook my head, as I did my best to try to shake off all of those thoughts from out of my mind, all at once, as I got my mind on some thoughts that were much different than all of that, as I felt like I needed to calm down, based off of the look of no such sort of surprise on the face of Randy, right at this very moment in time, as well.

It almost seemed like he knew some thing that I did not, and perhaps he did in fact know some thing that I did not, all at the exact same time as well. Or perhaps, he was just not all too worried about it, as he might have seen them go to use the bath room, or he had seen them not all too much longer ago. I felt like I needed to calm my self down, as I felt like I should not be nearly as freaked out as I was right at this very moment in time, in the very first place any ways, as I shook my head, shaking away all of those thoughts from it, all at once.

Perhaps they had in fact gone some where, and Randy and Noah already knew about it, due to the fact that I knew that they surely would be the first people that they would go to, to tell them about what it was that they were doing, and just where it was that they were going over to, in the very first place any ways none the less. Though, at the exact same time too, once again, I kind of was worried if that would in fact be true, as they seemed to treat me a lot more like the leader, than they did for Randy and Noah.

I shook my head, as I shook away all of those thoughts from my mind, all at once, as I got my focus on the fact that I knew that Randy had all of the sudden turned his head back over to me, all at the exact same time as well, as I could in fact now start to see that he did in fact have a little bit of a worried look on his face, right at this very moment in time as well, none the less. I felt like I could not but only help but to be a little bit worried my self, all at the exact same time too.

I shivered, as I saw that he stared at me right in to my eyes, for quite a bit of some time none the less, as he seemed to be as calm as possible, as he then all of the sudden nodded to me, to let me know that he was finally going to respond back to just what it was that I had said to him in the very first place any ways, never the less, which I was glad for as well. I breathed in quite a bit to my self, as I then did in fact nod right back over to him.

I still could not tell what was up with him how ever, just based off of the look that he had on his face right at this very moment in time too how ever, as I breathed in quite a bit to my self, all at once, as I kept my eyes as calm as possible, as Randy then did in fact, after quite a bit of some more time did seem to pass, he did in fact, finally begin to start to speak to me, all at the exact same time too, as I did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say to me in the very first place any ways, as well.

"Yeah... We saw Cole had Amelia cuffed up, and a rag on her mouth, when ever it was that I had woke up... They left not all too much longer ago... Noah just wants to talk to us, we are not all too sure as to just what it was that we should do right now..." He said to me, as I was in absolute, and utter shock as to just what it was that he had said to me in the very first place any ways, as I blinked my eyes a few times, as I got my mind, and I got my focus on the fact as to just what it was that he had even said to me in the very first place any ways, and just what it was that he had meant by it. A part of me, almost wanted to say that he was lying, as I felt like Cole would not do some thing like that to Amelia, as it was clear to me that he had been in love with her, but then again, some thing was not right, and it made sense to be a little bit worried, and a little bit afraid by it, all at the exact same time too. It had me quite a bit stumped, and quite a bit uncomfortable, all at the exact same time too, as I stared at Randy with quite a bit of a shocked look on my face. I knew that Randy was not lying with what it was that he had said how ever, as I saw him all of the sudden nod to me once again. It was clear to me that he was about to continue to speak to me once again. I breathed in quite a bit to my self, all at once, as I was not all too sure if I was ready to listen, but in the end, I did in fact nod back to him, to let him know that I was paying attention to him right now. It clearly made him feel a bit better, all at once, as he then did in fact begin to continue to speak to me, just as he had done before, as I too, did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say to me in the very first place any ways, none the less. "Come with me... We will talk about it with Noah, on what it is that we shall do..."

I looked at Randy, for just a few moments, on just what it was that he had even said to me, all at the exact same time as well, as I still was not all too sure about all of it, all at the exact same time too. I still was worried about this being a trick, or a trap, not by Noah or Randy by any means, such as I might have thought before now. I was wondering if this was a trick and a trap made by Cole and Amelia.

I was after all, quite a bit easy to trick, and to fool, all at the exact same time too. They might have spotted that weak ness in me, and used it to their advantage on me, or us rather, none the less. I gulped at the thought of that, all at once, as I wanted to say that it could not be the case, but I really felt like it could very well be the case, never the less. It would make sense that Sabin would have been killed by them, all at once, as I knew that he was usually good at reading in to people.

For all that I knew, they could have realized that, and they could have taken him out, all at the exact same time as well, as I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at once, as it was now all of the sudden starting to piece together in my head, as to just what it was that all of those thoughts that I had been thinking before now, had been in the very first place any ways. Why would they think that I would ever be a leader, or I would ever be important? That just was not in my nature, as I shook away all of those thoughts from my mind, all at the exact same time too.

But then, all of the sudden, all at once, as well, I had some other thoughts come in to my head, all at the exact same time as well, that did not seem to make all too much sense to me. It was the fact that if this was really a trick, than why would they go all the way out here to do this to us? Why would they take us all of this way? Maybe they did in fact know just how important it was that Noah was, all at the exact same time too. But then again, why would they bring all of these people in to this? Why would they not kill him when they had the chance to do as such a thing, all at the exact same time as well.

Then the fact that they had talked about how they had a grand leader, who told them what to do? That just did not make much sense to me either, never the less, once again. That seems to be some sort of evil powers that the leader ship, and the government right here might have, if I was going to be for real, and I was going to be completely honest with my self, too. But they way that they looked, was not normal either, so that just did not make all too much sense to me either. And the way that it was that they spoke as well, and the accent that they had.

I shook off all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that it was a complete waste of my time to even be thinking on all of those thoughts in my head, any ways, as I blinked my eyes a few times, as I then all of the sudden, all at the exact same time too, then saw that Randy was starting to walk away from me. I blinked my eyes a few times, as it then all of the sudden came back to me, all at once, as to just what it was that he had even said to me in the very first place any ways, not all too much longer before now.

I breathed in quite a bit to my self, all at once, as I got my mind, and my focus off of all of those thoughts, all at once, as I kind of felt like I could just think on it when ever it was that we got over to Noah. That was after all what it was that we were going to go over to him for, I would assume, at the very least. To discuss what it was that we thought about all of this, and what it was that we had even thought on just what it was that was even going on right at this very moment in time any ways, never the less.

I nodded a bit to my self, as I then began to continue to start to follow Randy, all at the exact same time as well, as I could see that we were going down the far side of the area that we had been sleeping in with every one else the last few nights, whilst Noah had been planning stuff out with Randy, all at the exact same time as well. It was a lot darker here, and it all kind of felt quite a bit chilly, if I was not going to lie to my self either, all at the exact same time too.

I stared at Noah, for just a little bit of some time, as he seemed to just be staring back at me, with quite a bit of a blank look on his own face, all at the exact same time as well, as to did not seem like he had any sort of thoughts, or any sort of emotion in side of him, right at this very moment in time too, as it all kind of felt quite a bit cold, if I was not going to lie to my self. I was not all too sure about what it was that was even going on with him right now, but I got my mind, and I got my focus off of it, all at once, as soon as it was that I had drawn closer to him.

Once it was that he had seen that me and Randy were now close to him, and far enough away from every one else, so that they could not hear, Noah then all of the sudden nodded to the both of us, all at once, to let us know that he was about to speak to both of us as well. I blinked my eyes a few times, as I breathed in a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at once, as I did my best to try to keep my self calm, as well, as I did in fact nod back to him, which I saw Randy do the same as I had, from the corner of my eyes, all at the exact same time too.

Once it was that Noah had seen the both of us do as such a thing, he then did in fact let out quite a bit of a heavy groan, as well as a bit of a heavy sigh to him self. He then closed his eyes for just a few seconds, as if he just wanted to escape, and get away from all of this, all at the exact same time too. As he stood there for just a little bit longer how ever, he then did in fact all of the sudden begin to start to speak, as me and Randy stood there patiently waiting for him to do as such a thing, none the less. Now that it was that he did in fact begin to start to speak, both me and Randy did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say to the both of us in the very first place as well.

"We've come this far... There is no going back now..."
