Kevin tried to avoid Rea's eyes as he patrolled the area around her cell, but he was unable, as she watched him at all times. Unlike most Raiders, Rea had a normal life. She was an orphan where she met Shawn, her adoptive brother. When she was adopted Shawn wasn't, but he ran from the orphanage to continue training Rea. She had always been a Raider, because Shawn had always taught her. Sure he once had a normal life, but his secret ID was discovered soon after he ran away from the orphanage. He was only 5, so how could a 5-year-old get away. Well with the help of The Raiders it was rather easy, plus even at 5 he was an escape artist. Rea would sneak off every night, while she was only 3, to see him. In the younger parts of her life Rea had been mute, so The Raiders weren't worried about the toddler not keeping secrets.

 While Rea had lived with the Johnson's, her adopted family, she pretended to be a normal kid. Her family still didn't know that she was a Raider, that is unless if the ATLP ratted her out, which they most likely did. Rea looked back up at Kevin, a friend from school, she never knew he was an ATLP member, but then again he never knew that she was a Raider up till now.

Rea looked up at Kevin pleadingly. Kevin felt guilty, Rea might be a Raider, but she was also being mistreated, fed minimum rations, Kevin couldn't leave her like this. He had a plan!

It was the last hour of his shift, last ten minutes actually. He shuddered slightly; he knew what happened to traitors. He waited until his reliever came down, then, gently, he squeezed the igniting switch. Kevin had barely enough time to grab onto the bars of Rea's prison before the explosive went off. The impact threw his reliever into the stairs; the ATLP would defiantly slow down to help him.

Kevin pushed the key into the lock and opened the door of the prison. He ran right in, and helped Rea out. Feet pounded coming down the stairs, the alarm sounding deafening loud. Kevin and Rea ran out the huge hole in the wall caused by the explosion, and ran off into the woods. Kevin dropped a special gas bomb behind him, knocking unconscious the closest pursuers. He dropped a fog bomb, and he and Rea disappeared in the thick mist. Lastly he dropped a stink bomb, it smelled pretty bad to him, but it would cover their scents from the tracking dogs.

They ran as fast as they could. Even though he was trained for endurance Kevin slowed down after an hour of straight sprinting. Rea barely looked exhausted, but since she just escaped prison she was probably dying to keep running. When she noticed Kevin falling behind Rea fell back to join him. He leaned against a tree to catch his breath. Despite all the clever tricks and gasses the ATLP were still tracing them. Rea knew she could out-run them and get to the base safely and undetected, but she wasn't so sure about Kevin. Rea saw flashlight beams rounding a boulder a couple hundred metres away.

"Not that far now." She tried to coax Kevin to run, even though it was really far to the hideout. Rea tried to keep Kevin from looking back, but he did, and he saw the lights.

"Run!" He commanded her

"Not without you,"

"That's cute," Kevin teased, and with that he ran right towards the flashlights. Rea knew she couldn't do anything, so she turned and ran, and ran. She could hear a couple of guns going off, and seconds later she was too far to hear anything. Tears filled Rea's eyes as she ran, her a Kevin was good friends, but not best friends, but he had still given his life for her.

Rea finally reached the gang house, and passed out of exhaustion just metres from the door. When she woke there was Shawn, he gave her a huge hug.

"Down boy," Rea giggled pushing her brother away.

"What happened?"

"We were so worried!"

"Where were you?"

"Are you ok?"

"How did you escape?" This last question hit Rea, like a baseball bat hit's a ball, sending her mind flying to see what she could remember. All the questions kept coming, not waiting for a answer.

"Kevin!" Rea yelled; the room went silent. Shawn grabbed his sisters hand, Graydon crossed his arms and everyone else there, which was pretty much the whole gang, whispered among themselves. Graydon held his hand up for silence and the whispering ceased. All eyes focused on Rea.

"

How did you escape?" He asked calmly and slowly.

"Kevin, my friend, he's one of them," Rea started, and then assuming he was shot painfully added "was one of them." Graydon raised an eyebrow, symbolizing he was waiting to know more.

"He blew a hole in the wall, and helped me escape," Rea was about to continue, but it hurt too much.

"They got him, didn't they." Shawn asked, but phrasing the question more as a statement. Rea just nodded, tears rolling down her cheeks. Shawn put his hand on her shoulder.
