We looked everywhere. I mean everywhere. We didn't find him. Wherever he was he must have been lost. I hope he wasn't captured! Anyways, afterwards  we went towards the military base, sure we would find him tomorrow. As we went through the vents of the mess hall, we heard some of the officers talking.

"...and woosh! A few thousand just disappeared."

".. The real question is where he is, how he is, and who he is. Same with his companions."

"What sort of tech were they using?"

All the talk was about us. We quietly crept along before reaching the captain's quarters. We stopped the second we heard this:

"Yes come in. Yes about them..."

We listened intently.

"Find them. They will need to be taken in."

Wide eyed, we ran, well crawled, out of there as fast as we could. Upon reaching the hotel, we discussed the events at hand.

"We should really go back there. This is our chance to actually join the military." I said.

"No."

"Why not?"

"It's too risky. What if it's a trap?"

"We've only helped them. Why would they be enemies?"

"You can't be sure. Everyone is an enemy."

"I guess I'll have to go on my own then."

"No! Don't you get it? Carter's gone. This isn't a game anymore John. They're real people."

"I know that!"

"What if something happened to you too, huh? What if you were captured? What then huh? What'd happen to me?"

"I don't know..."

"I'll tell you what! I'd be back on the streets that's what. No home, no friends. I can't go back to that. I can't do it John! I can't... I can't... I, I..."

"FINE!" I concluded, as we both went to bed, unhappy with the day's events.
