"Do you think they're still here? Those tracks say otherwise, but it could just be a ruse," she remarked.

"I'm no expert, but I think we should split up in case it is a ruse. We can't let them get away or there will be more people that get brainwashed." He should have felt proud to speak like that to an officer, but he just felt empty.

Jess nodded and was about to open the door, when she stopped. "Your girlfriend wouldn't know where they are, would she?"

"No." He jumped out of the car before she could. "We'll meet up here if we don't find anything."

She sniffed a little and got out of her car. "Okay."

"And… If I find them?", he asked.

She paused thoughtfully. "Fight them if they start anything and try to alert me however you can."

"Okay." It seemed strange that she trusted him enough to fight them, but he took it lightly. He slowly made his way towards the gates.

Jess went the other way, slowly pulling her gun out of the holster as she moved.

His mind must be playing tricks on him, but it sounded as though he heard footsteps coming towards him. He got into a fighting stance.

Jess looked around, her hand prepared to draw her gun. "August?" she hissed.

It sounded like Jess. "Yes?", he whispered quietly.

She continued until she could see him. "Did you knock over a garbage can?" she asked, looking around.

"I don't know if it was me or…", he stopped mid-sentence.

Jess's eyes darted around. "You didn't see anyone did you?"

"No.", he whispered. Then the ground began to sink beneath his feet and he cried out and ran. A there was a gaping hole in the ground. He stood over it in shock.

Jess's eyes widened. "Oh my God…"
