"Thanks, Cecilia," Henri smiled, "you can call me Henri. We can stop whenever everyone is ready, seeing as we have only T-minus twenty minutes before the Overseers come to find us."

"Wait, what?" Henri continued, this time speaking to the mousy-haired man. "Who stayed behind?" The idea itself gave her chills.

The man looked over to Henri. "That guy," he said, pointing to Milo, who was in the back of the group, basking in sunlight, "now isn't time for a tan! I'm afraid something will happen to him- what if the Overseers come and take him away? That would be terrible!"

"I don't think you have to worry about it, Quincy, I think he has to do that to gather up strength," Cecilia interjected. "Oh, this is Quincy," she continued, talking to Henri and Terrance, "he's sort of paranoid all the time, he thinks all kinds of bad things will happen to everyone."

"Me more than anyone else though." Quincy added, glancing around.

"It's okay, Quincy," Henri said in an attempt to comfort him, "nothing is going to happen to us. This is the last time we'll see the inside of the lab, I promise."

"By the way, I'm starving. Where's the nearest McDonalds?" She joked.

Quincy smiled a little at Henri's attempt to make him feel better. It worked, sort of.

"I don't think we'll be seeing a McDonalds anytime soon, but it would be pretty great if we did," Terrance laughed, "unfortunately we don't have any money though, so I'm not sure it would matter. Shame, I've always wanted to taste a Chicken Mcnugget." He sighed at the thought.

"Speaking of," one guy in the group piped up, "what are we going to do if we do reach a town or city? We don't have any money like you said, and we'll stick out like a sore thumb." the man pointed out, thoughtfully.

@takatheeducatedkid Oh yeah! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ And the Chicken McNugget thing actually made me laugh out loud. xD

Henri laughed at Terrance, then thought about the other man's question.

"Well, if we can't find any money, are only other option is to sit on a street corner asking for change which is sure to get us caught, or we can somehow hack into an ATM, or we can steal. We should probably just wait for that moment to come along before we make any major decisions. Does anyone even know what state we're in?"

"I never even thought about that- I mean, I haven't ever heard the Overseers talk about it. Usually that's where you hear everything from." Terrance replied. It seemed like nobody else knew either.

"It only makes sense," Quincy said, "they wouldn't want us to know where we were. Plus I think we're in the middle of nowhere because if we weren't, than wouldn't people be a bit curious about the labs?"

"No," Terrance answered, "I've heard it mentioned before that the EPC is well known in the outside world. They even have fake tours for all the rich people. They have clones just like us but they're treated with care and fed lies." his voice was filled with both anger and regret as he remembered that they hadn't been able to free everyone- there were many other doors that had to have been filled with other Elementals and all that was with them was only at most thirty people.

Henri squeezed Terrance's hand reassuringly. "It's okay, we'll get them out, even if it takes a long time." She didn't say anything, but who knew what could happen to the others in a short amount of time?

It was possible that the Overseers would treat the leftover clones with even less respect than usual because of the escape.

However, now wasn't the time to think about that. "We have to get going. Seriously." Henri told the group.

"Back to the whole 'if we see a town thing' I think it would be best if we send a small group of our stealthiest to find some new clothes, after all, normal people don't bumble around in a group of about thirty people all dressed the same," Zayne said, "I mean, what would we say? Costume party?"

"He's right," Quincy squealed, "people will think we're some kind of gang!"

"Gang? Quincy, gangs don't dress like us. I think an Overseer group could pass as a gang, if anything." Terrance pointed out. Just then, a black car came down the road straight at them. Everyone ran out of the way as the car slowed down at the sight of all the Elementals.

The person inside was a middle aged Asian man with black hair brushed neatly to the side and large glasses. He wore a black suit. The window was rolled down and he held a phone to his ear as he drove slowly by, looking at them all. "Right, right. Wait, what the-Why are there Elementals on the roadside?! Explain this right now! ...A break out? Why am I the last to know?!" Ticked off and a little nervous, he sped up and drove past the group of curious people.

Terrance waited for the car to be out of sight before he looked at the others. "We better start running instead of walking," he said, "they know which route we took now. And there's a good chance that this road will lead to a town of some sort."

"Yes, I think so too," Henri agreed, "they're bound to find us anytime now."

(sorry for the short response, what Henri does depends on if she's injured or not).

Sorry that I'm so behind! The past few days have been quite hectic for me.

-

While masking himself in the sunlight, Milo hadn't noticed the rest of the group had continued to wander off. And farther than he expected. When he looked forward, all he saw was minuscule figures moving along the horizon. Out of stress, he flustered somewhat and cursed at himself. Shockingly, the small noise echoed quickly across the empty wasteland.

Quickly, he ran towards the Elementalists. But, the smoggy, chemical filled air made him cough and sputter.

"Well, I guess I'm not running," he choked out. And began to regain his breath after walking towards the group. But, as they moved forward, he still lagged behind.

@whispers Okay, okay, I appreciate the long post but... We're in the middle of a wasteland with no trees, dead-ish grass and only a road, not a thick woods. xD

Quincy was more nervous than ever. "That guy that just drove by, was he someone important?" he asked.

"I don't know," Terrance answered, "but he sounded like he knew a thing or two about us. He's probably going to tell them exactly where we are."

"That's exactly why we have to get moving, or they'll catch us," Cecilia added, "come on people, let's move!" she said as she turned around. With that she began to run ahead, Quincy following close behind.

Terrance looked down at Henri. "Sorry if running hurts you," he said, "but it's the only way to make sure we can live to fix you up, I don't imagine they want us back anymore." with that he began to run in front of the others, who also followed suit.

That's when they heard it. The sound of some sort of vehicle in the distance, going very fast.
