The Unknown Attack (short story)

3pm 

The city has been declared state of emergency. Bombs going off, the city hall just got blown up. Tony and I were at work when we heard what's going on. Before the cell towers went down I received an coded message from my brother Stone. I read it and said "yo we gotta hurry and get outta here." Tony and I rushed on out, I had found a working land line phone. I had dialed Ava's home phone. I mutter "pick up baby pick up please." Seconds later Ava answer "hello?" I said "Ava!" She gasp "Trulis, where are you, what's going on, I've been trying to reach you?" I said "I don't know for sure they cut off a lot of the power here, I need you get all your important papers and meet me at the train tracks down the street from your house." She said "what, the train tracks...I got Regina and Cereal with me." I said "y'all need to get outta there now, get yo papers and get to the train tracks they are gonna bomb the city,... fifteen minutes y'all need to be at the tracks." She was gasping a bit and said "we'll be there, I love you Tru." I said "I love you too, Ava...hurry." We hung up tony and I ran down the hill and jumped on the train. We began making our way towards Ava's. 
Ava hurried gotten her important papers she and her two best friends ran on out the house making their way to the little plaza. They got there had stopped to catch their breath. Than they heard the train horn. Regina said ", the train." They continue running had got over the fence and down the hill. I slid opened the door, looked around for Ava. 
"Tru!" Ava yelled
I saw them and yell "hurry, we can't stop the train!" Tony came stood beside me held out his arm as I did. Gotten Regina and Cereal on board. Ava was running as fast as she could. I yell "hurry, the bridge is coming!" She jumped on a big metal crate and leap towards me I grabbed a hold of her. Cereal and Tony pulled us in, slid against the floor to the wall. Tony slid the door shut. I held onto Ava tight both of us gasping trying to catch our breath. I said "I got you baby I got you." 
"Thank you for getting us." Cereal said.  
They helped us off the ground. I said "I couldn't leave y'all back there." Regina ask "what the hell is going on?" Tony ans "we was at work when we heard about the attacks, was able to get a message from Stone telling us to get the crew and get to the safe house." I said "this train is the only one that will get us close to where we need to go." They nod their heads. Tony looked at his watch and said "getting near our next stop." Ava said "getting the rest of the crew?" I ans "yea, told them to meet us at the old station." 
Couple minutes later 
We helped our crew on board, closed the door and locked it. No more opening it. There's ten of us in the train cargo, we all settled down a bit. Tony and I stood center. I said "alright listen up." They all looked at me and Tony
"Alright we're about a good two and a half hours away, before we have to travel on foot." I said 
"As soon as we get there, we need all of you to stay close and quiet as you can, we're gonna hit a wal-mart to get some supplies and there's a gun shop near by we're gonna strap up and keep ourselves protected." Tony said 
"When we get to the gun shop, be on full alert those who got book bags on fill it up with glocks nines and bullets just fill it up we're gonna need it; than when we get to wal-mart, pair up get a big duffle bag  and stock up on some clothes, meds snack any survival ...all that stuff you've seen on TV about it get we're gonna need everything we can get and carry, alright." They nod as they said "alright" I sigh softly and said "alright and also if you have to, change shoes PR clothes wear dark clothing so we won't be seen, and make sure it'll keep you cool, dry and warm." Tony said "yes, its getting colder out here, alright y'all rest up a bit make sure you're paired up and ready to jump when the time comes." They nod their heads. 
I walked on over to the far end of the cargo, place my hand on the wall held my head down was breathing heavy. Ava, Tony, Regina and Cereal walked on over to me. Ava saw how I was breathing she came stood in front of me and held me in her arms. "Its gonna be okay, as long as we're together we're gonna be okay." Tony and them held us, as Regina began saying a prayer for us.
Two hours later
We all got ready to jump, told the crew to keep their knees bended when they jump off so when they land their feet won't get hurt and all. I looked at Ava she looked at me and nod her head. Tony looked out saw the flashing light and loudly said "get ready!" Then seconds later we all jumped off the train, did a tuck and roll and got up off the ground. Some of the people in the other boxes were confused as hell of us jumping off. We tried to warn them that its not a good idea to stay on the train for too long, but they didn't want to believe us. I went to Ava helped her off the ground. I said "alright let's go y'all." I looked at Ava and said "stay close to me." She said "you too." She held my hand and we all paced run on outta the train tracks. 
Got to the fence had found the opening had made it wider we all came through it and made our way to the gun shop. We were being careful, quiet and quick watching our surroundings. Got to the gun shop saw it was closed up, got to the back door. Mick had picked the lock for us got the door opened we came inside I had disarmed the alarm, closed and locked the door back to keep others from walking in on us. I said "alright load up, no lights and keep from the windows." They nod as we scattered all around the shop. Ava stayed with me at all times. Had found some bullet proof vest we all put them on. They were the ones that are used on agents when they're undercover and all. It was perfect for us. 
We all loaded up on the guns, our best buff boy Ric had found a nice sized bag and put all of the shotguns and rifles in it, along with the bullets. We all had a gun in our hands. Showed only four of us how to use it properly. Then we checked our surroundings and left on out. Making our way to wal-mart. Which was about five blocks away a good six-eight miles away. 
Moments later 
We made it to wal-mart, saw some people running in and out of the place with stuff. Tony said "alright listen up we're in here for 20 minutes than we out, meet up at the TV section." We nod, I said "pair up no one stays by themselves, and watch out for your guns." They nod and we rushed inside. Went to the home goods area, had found a bunch of suitcases and bags. I had found the big duffle bags. I said "yo we can use these." We all grabbed one, Ava said "Ooo get the blue and black one." I looked at her with a look trying hard not to smile. She smirk "haha sorry got caught up." I shook my head a bit smiling had grabbed the blue/black one. Made the strap a little longer put it over my shoulder and we ran to the clothes section.
The lights were dim which was good for us, just wish people weren't being so loud. We ignored them, I went to the men's section grabbed some shirts in my size put them neatly in the bag so we can have more room. Gotten five pairs of cargo pants, Ava came up to me with her stuff she out them in the bag, went and gotten a bunch of sports bras and underwear, grab packs of socks took them out of the plastic bags and put them in the bag. Gotten some hats to keep warm. Then we ran to the food sections. Had found a bookbag that Ava can carry. Had filled it with first aid stuff pills all medical stuff. Had put tampons and pads in the bag too. Grabbed bunch of batteries. Than we got to the actual food aisles.
I said "get non perishables only." Had saw Regina Tony Cereal and Nia. Tony said "10 minutes left." We nod and began opening up boxes of granola bars n dumping them in the bag along with the fruit snacks, drink mixes and all. Then Ava came up to me with a bag filled with hot spices. I made a confused face as I ask "what's that for?" She answer "homemade pepper bombs, remember the 3 ninjas movie." I chuckled as I remembered the movie and smile "ah I love you, girl." She smile "I love you too baby." She put them in the bag along with the coffee filters and rubber bands. Then we went to the tools area gotten knives ropes things we might need. 
While we was rushing, I came across the jewelry area I stopped and said "Tony, Cereal." They looked at me I look at them and at the jewelry. Ava Nia and Regina stopped as Regina said "what's wrong." Tony said "y'all get to the spot there's something we need to get." Ava said "what, no, Tru." I said "we'll be right there just five minutes, I promise." Ava exhale and said "okay, five minutes if you're not there I'm coming for you." I nod my head, she and the girls took of running. Tony, Cereal and I ran to the jewelry area, Cereal said "good thinking, these are real gold and diamonds they can come in handy." I said "yea and side everything is going ty, be a good time to get some nice for Ava." Tony smack my head softly as we laughed I bend down saw the alarm is off, I said "alarms off." We jumped over the counter I picked the lock, while Cereal unzipped a big poach bag had slid the glass door opened. I had found a beautiful diamond heart ring and two locket necklaces that had the letter A and the other had the letter T.I had put them inside my coat pocket and zipped it up. We grabbed all the jewelry and put them in the poach. 
Tony had saw an safe and the combo on the top of the drawer. He smack his lips as he said "damn wal-mart got some ***ed up workers." We looked and saw him pointing to the combination that's tapped up. We laughed softly as we shook our heads. He opened the saw saw stack of money and some poaches he looked inside of them saw it was puregold necklaces. We packed them separated them up into three bags jumped over the counter and made our way to the TV section.
We got there, didn't see the girls. I began to get worried. I said "Ava...Ava." Looking around than we heard Nia said "over here." We turned and rushed to them I almost got scared as ***. Saw Reg and Ava getting a video camera a portable DVD player with batteries and all. Ava said "get some movies and CDs, case the powers goes out." Cereal and I rushed to the movies we managed to grab a bunch of the good movies along with the CDs. Then the whole crew met up, I got to Ava we stared into each others eyes kissed right quick. Then we left on out through the side doors. 
As we were out on the streets, we came across a gas station we ran inside, we needed lighters for the candles. Had stock up on the snacks and all. Got over behind the counter, the owner didn't care he was taking himself. We had grabbed an empty duffle bag filled it up with chips bottles of pop, grabbing the miles lighters from the wall tossing them in the bag. Then we saw some boxes of condoms get thrown into the bag. We look saw it was Tony who threw them in. Regina said "really ?" He said "ay still gotta be safe." Ric laugh "he ain't lying." We all laughed softly, than we jumped and jerk when we heard a something blew up in the distant. I had begin counting the echo of it, they were staring at me. Than I stopped counting and said "10 miles out, we gotta get the hell outta here." We hurried up got what we need and want and left on out. We begin making our way to the safe house. Its about a good 20 miles away from us. Them suddenly all of the lights went out. I said "don't move." I had grabbed my night vision goggles and put them on, was able to see where we are. I had turned around and said "alright I have on the nv goggles I only got two left, Tony you get one and E you get the last one, Tony you gonna walk by my side with yours E you in the back, we gonna be in two lines, grab a hold of our belt loops, we have to go through the woods to get to the safe house." 
I gave E and Tony their goggles they put them on we all did what I told them to do. I held onto Ava's hand as she held onto !y belt loop. We all was side by side close to each other, I said "alright stay quiet don't let go of each other." Tony said "and don't use yo flash lights, can't attract ourselves." Then E said "y'all ready." We all said "ready." 
We began walking into the woods, Cereal softly ask "how do you know where to go in these woods?" I softly answer "special paint markings can only be seen with red nv light." Tony and I saw the first marking we began walking was following the markings. Then Mick had stepped in something gooey he said "I hope I didn't just step in some ." We chuckled softly, Ava said if you don't smell it you didn't." He said "you wanna smell my boot later." Ava said ", please." I shook my head smiling. We had stopped to rest for a short moment than we continue walking. 
An hour later
We finally made it to the safe house. I said "we're at the entrance." There was a door that's easily hidden in plain sight. I knocked in code three times. Then we heard a man said "pass code." I said "passion of the moon light in the sky for I is Nightwolf child of the night." Then the door unbolted and opened. He said "watch yo step." We took our goggles off as we came inside he closed and bolted the door. I looked at the guard saw it was one of the kd members. He said "good to see you, Kidd." I nod my head and ask "how many here?" He answer "bout 40 give or take." One of the members came and directed us down the tunnel to the real safe house. It was about a good ten minute walk. We got to another door it opened up heard soft music playing as we walked inside. "Kidd." I heard Stone called my name. I turned and said "Stone." He rushed to me we hugged each other tight. He said "knew you gotten the message." I said "yea, thanks for sending it." He saw Ava and the crew hugged them and said "I see y'all hit up some spot too huh." We smirk he said "come on I'll take you to where y'all be rooming." We followed him to a nice medium size room. Came inside saw mattress all over the floor, Ava and I claim the one by the wall. We put our stuff down. 
I looked at Stone and said "is she here?" He said "yea, she doesn't know you're here yet, she's down in the base." I nod and said "alright ay T grab the guns and jewelry we gotten, we're gonna need everything til we can find out what the hell is going on." He nod his head, Ric gave him the bag filled with guns we kept the ones we already have . Cereal grabbed the poaches and gave them to Tony. I had Ava come with me I said "we're good here so rest, eat just relax, we'll be back in awhile." They nod their heads, as we followed Stone to the base.  Got there came inside the room. Stormy looked up and gasp "Kidd."  Mom turned and gasp "Trulis."  We rushed to each other, and hugged. I said "I'm okay, mama...I'm okay." She sniff softly as she said "oh hush, you know i was worried about you." I sigh "I know." She saw Ava and Tony she hugged them also. Mom said "I gotten your families out they are okay they're under our protection." They exhale deeply as they thanked mom. I said "we brought some more weapons." Tony came and placed the bag on the table and opened it. He said "also made a detour to wal-mart." As he placed the poaches on the table Stormy checked them out and smirk "smartsoldiers." I ask "what's going on mama, why is this happening?" She vegan telling us what they know. Then she said "right now they've been killing off those who are bog in the city kill the strong first makes it easier for the weak to follow them." We nod our head it was true, which is why we're hiding too. Mom held me again in her arms tight and said "its late, get some to eat and get some sleep, we're safe here." I looked at her and said "I love you." Mom said "I love you more." I said "infinity." She stared into my eyes and smile "and beyond." I smiled softly as she kissed my forehead. Gave Ava and Tony a hug and we left on out the room. Went back to our room, had gotten our stuff together. Spread the sheet over our mattress, gotten the pillows out along with our blanket. Our crew was out cold like a light they were very tired and drained. I took my jacket off along with my Nike boots. Laid down on the mattress, Ava laid down next to me we stared into each others eyes; I placed her hair behind her ear.
I said "oh almost forgot." I sat up grabbed my jacket and grabbed the necklaces and ring." Lean down on my arm as I said "got you something." I held out the ring she gasp softly I slid it on her finger as I said "a diamond heart for my baby." She smiled than I said "also got us these." I held up the lockets she smile "our initials." I smile "T for you." I latch it around her neck she held mine as she smile "A for you." As she put it around my neck. She smile "I love you so much Tru." I said I love you forever Ava." We began French kissing g real deep. I was half way on top of her we was finna get into til we heard Regina said "ah uh shut up with all that kissing before y'all ***." We all chuckled, Ava said "quit hating bitcj." Reg said "ain't hating we just don't wanna wake up hearing and seeing y'all ***ing each other right next to us." We all laughed harder, I smirk "we'll be quiet." Tony smile "you know that's a damn lie." They was like "right." I shook my head, we all settled down. I watched Ava sleep and fell off to sleep with her in my arms. She laid her head on my chest letting my heartbeat sing her to sleep. 
A week later 

We all have been so busy, Ava and I haven't gotten the chance to spend some time together. So one night I finally came up with a plan for us to be together. Had found a private room for us. We went up to the room, she had her eyes closed I brought her in. Closed and locked the door. And said "you can look." She opened her eyes and gasp began smiling.
