They've escaped. 

And the people that had them kept there aren't happy.  They are on the hunt for the children that have now escaped and on loose.  But they have no idea where they went and are having trouble finding them......

It was only a few days later that they reached some dead beat town.  It wasn't very populated and it had plenty of property if someone wanted one.  Midori had slept the whole trip afraid of the outside.  She didn't want to see it.  That was until they finally ran out of gas and Midori woke up to look at the open fields as the sun was setting...

Their next plan was to get land and be on their own. They would let anyone control them anymore. No one touched their family. As the night approached some children took action in survival and others were still shocked. Midori was shocked still looking around at everything in awe.
