"Shoot! I am going to be soooooo late! I am going to have to fly to make it to school on time!” I said to myself out loud as I frantically tried to get my books in my backpack and my feet stuffed into my shoes. As hard as I try, I am never that person that regularly shows up to things early. I am always cutting it close, and sometimes even a little late. Today was no exception to that philosophy. I woke up to my dad yelling to my dad yelling from the top of the steps. "Hey, it's slippery and the trucks haven't salted yet. Drive slow and be careful!" "Okay Dad!" I look at the clock and realize I'm already fifteen minutes late for school. Leaping out of bed, I desperately try to regain the time throughout my morning routine. I dash through …show more content…
The first thing I do is test exactly how slippery the roads are by doing a brake check. The brake control doesn’t grind under my foot, so I must be all good! I start speeding away in my little stick shift. A couple miles down the road I realize the road has a sort of ‘wet’ look to it. Looking at the temperature gauge on my dash and realizing that it is well below freezing, I do another brake check. There was that familiar grinding feeling from the brake control under my foot. Wanting to play it safe but still wanting to hurry, I figured slowing from fifty eight miles per hour to forty five miles per hour on the corners would be a safe enough speed. I then continue on my twelve mile route to …show more content…
I just rolled my car on County Road 577 and am stuck inside and can't get out." Evaluating my car, I notice the back windshield is smashed out. "Oh wait! I can get out the back windshield." "Are you injured in any way?" "Nope I'm all good. But I need to put the phone down in order to climb out. Hang on" *Pause* "Okay I'm out!" "Do you have any idea where on County Road 577? Is there a house near you that you can get to that has a house number?" "Uh," I look up and down the road. "Yeah, but it's like a quarter mile away..." "I really need you to go find out what that number is so I can send a patroller to you." "Okay, but your going to have to give me a bit because it's a looong ways away." I start running down the road thankful for cross country. "Okay, I'm almost there!" I say jokingly. "Great!" "Okay the house number is N214" "Alright." *Pause* "It looks like there is a patroller just two minutes from you. I'll stay on the line with you until they arrive. Are you sure you aren't injured? I can send an ambulance instead of a first responder to
Max just nods, like she doesn’t believe her, but she wants to. “Where are we going?”
“Well. like I was telling your Chief, we’re investigating a series of home invasions turn child abductions. They might relate to some child abductions a few years ago and I believe that your John Doe might be one of the victims. He may be able to help us solve this.” I reply while looking directly at Doctor Alba.
“Let's go check it out. I mean we still have like 2 hours till curfew.” Sarah confidently says.
“Do you think.. we.. can find somewhere to stay?” Looking outside, it seemed like they were in the middle of nowhere. He didn’t even know what state they were in at this point.
"Everyone we have a hostile making her towards Section BD. Everyone find cover in the bunker areas or come to help. Bring ammunition."
I frown. “We need to start moving. Lead the way to the alleyway, heading west. You know this building the
“I’m so sorry.” I say as I turn to run. I run to my briefcase hidden in the bushes to grab my phone. I dial 911, only to hang up each time the operator picks up. I take a deep breath, and dial one last time.
“I sent an ambulance, would you like me to stay on the phone with you?”
“Yeah, kind of figured that out by the name, but I believe I know the place you’re talking about.”
“Okay. Okay. I'm about ten minutes from home. I'm on the way there now. Have you talked to Lester?”
“But that’s not too far from town. I thought they were happening much farther into the forest,” Mayor Oldrich interjected.
The bell rang as I rushed to class. I had never been late to class before, but my best friend Grace decided to leave her house early so I couldn't get a ride.
“BEEP BEEP BEEP” You lift the lump of what's called a body, when you see your clock says 7:45. Your body goes into kick start mode, while you rush to dress you hear the roar of your school bus calling the students to the stops. As you run out it starts leaving, although you chase the bus after it leaves you in the dust. This is the reality that students face if their schools that start early.
“Come on! We are going to be late!” I race ahead of everyone else. I need to get to school!
“Let’s get going. There is a short hike before we get to the base of the mountain.”
