MAY'S POV...
We were still on the ground with Marko and Paul on top of me. I started bursting out loud and everyone started to laugh even louder than before. After a while I looked up again to see that everyone was content with how things have been.
"Alright, alright. Time to get off me. Daylights still burning, we still have things to do." I told Marko and Paul.
"Aww but May, why do we have to get up?" Marko says reluctantly. They both got up making small complaints and whines here and there.
"Yeah, Why May. You are too comfy. Marko and I wanted to cuddle with you." Paul tells me.
Sadly, as much as I love to cuddle and give hugs, I offer this idea instead to spend some time with Paul and Marko.
"Okay, how about this. Why don't you boys come with me for a quick little trip? I must go away for a couple of days and would like you boys to come with me." I asked Marko and Paul.
They looked at me for a while and didn't say anything, I looked towards David and Dwayne to see that they were both inching closer to Paul and Marko, both looking ready to hold them down.
I could see Papa in the background shaking his head, not really knowing if he should be serious or to start to laugh again. I looked towards Marko and Paul to see that they looked like they were nearly ready to jump around full of energy.
They looked ready to bounce off the walls. I slowly started to back away without them noticing. Just as I was about to make it to the front door, Paul noticed me.
"May!" Paul yells.
They all whipped their heads towards me, to see that I was somehow trying to leave without them noticing.

My expression on my face was 'oh shit, I've been caught'. I quickly turned around and started running through the front door. All the way, you could hear me saying "shit, nope, shit, I thought I was being stealthy".
I could hear Papa in the front yard laughing his head off "HAHAHAA! AHAHAHA! RUN MAY RUNNNNN!".
I started heading towards my room, when I got distracted by freshly made bread in the kitchen. So, I quickly did a quick turn and ran straight in there to get to the bread.
......TIME SKIP......
MARKO'S POV...
It was the next day and Paul and May were packing the car up for the trip. David and Dwayne were staying back to help Laddie around the house while we were gone. But I know that David will probably follow us and try to hide.
I remember him doing that when both Paul and I were newly turned, and he was trying to protect us.
It's just his way of showing he cares. I looked over towards Paul to hear him softly singing, I was a bit confused about the song because all I heard was 'Zooming Through the Sky'.
PAUL'S POV...
'We're going on a trip! In our favourite rocket ship! Zooming through the sky!'
This one song that May showed me for fun she said, is stuck in my head on repeat. There are many songs stuck in my head at the moment, but as soon as I heard we were going on a trip. This song just had to pop up in my head.
Got to love music!
MAY'S POV...
Once we get to this cave, we will be able to have some answers about these bonds that I have with the Lost Boys!

Sector 27
It wasn't until June 3, 2101 that World War 4 ended. This was not a war that ended in peace treaties or truces; this war ended with disease. The atomic war caused plague and disease that crippled major countries. The generals and great leaders of the countries at war died from the radiation that penetrated every part of the globe. It was only then that humanity realized what they had done- what they had created. The first ever mutant was publicly executed the very day the war ended, and a new war began: the war against mutants. The surviving nation of Japan quickly rebuilt their country by dividing it into safe zones, or Sectors. There are currently 26 livable sectors in Japan; Sector 1 is the richest sector and the only sector that has completely rid itself of all radiation left over from the war. In fear against the threat of mutants, the once small section of the police force grew until it became the main police force in Japan. After all, humans shouldn't be blamed for crimes when the real threat to society is mutants. This police force that goes by their motto: Special Treatment Against Mutants (STAM) is comprised of agents that go about their work to capture and detain all mutants. Sector 26 is the poorest sector that humans can barely survive in; but there is one more part of Japan. This "dead zone" has such a high concentration of radiation that if a human were to step inside the barrier, they would die in mere moments. But within this dead zone, this 27th Sector, there lies a secret organization of mutants that fight against STAM and protect all mutants from their grasp. The Mutant Recovery and Protection Agency (MRPA) operates to hide mutants in society and allow them to live human lives. The only thing that stands in MRPA's way is STAM and its agents who hunt them down ruthlessly, so MRPA has their own set of skilled agents. And the battle rages on...

Homeland
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- In Cory Doctorow’s wildly successful Little Brother, young Marcus Yallow was arbitrarily detained and brutalized by the government in the wake of a terrorist attack on San Francisco—an experience that led him to become a leader of the whole movement of technologically clued-in teenagers, fighting back against the tyrannical security state.A few years later, California's economy collapses, but Marcus’s hacktivist past lands him a job as webmaster for a crusading politician who promises reform. Soon his former nemesis Masha emerges from the political underground to gift him with a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaks-style cable-dump of hard evidence of corporate and governmental perfidy. It’s incendiary stuff—and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. Then Marcus sees Masha being kidnapped by the same government agents who detained and tortured Marcus years earlier.Marcus can leak the archive Masha gave him—but he can’t admit to being the leaker, because that will cost his employer the election. He’s surrounded by friends who remember what he did a few years ago and regard him as a hacker hero. He can’t even attend a demonstration without being dragged onstage and handed a mike. He’s not at all sure that just dumping the archive onto the Internet, before he’s gone through its millions of words, is the right thing to do.Meanwhile, people are beginning to shadow him, people who look like they’re used to inflicting pain until they get the answers they want. Fast-moving, passionate, and as current as next week, Homeland is every bit the equal of Little Brother—a paean to activism, to courage, to the drive to make the world a better place.
