running around. It is complete chaos.
    ‘Okay, keep your head down and follow me,’ he tells Ami. ‘If anything happens, then hide, understand?’
    Ami agrees and Ryan throws open the door.
    They quickly run through the masses in the direction of the tunnel Ryan came through when he came back from the supply run. They walk through the streets, and Ryan sees a guard standing on the corner with his machine gun. The guard look around, most likely to find Ryan and Ami. Ryan quickly drags Ami onto a side path, and they run along it. They head up into another street where their tent used to be. They run through the street and in the direction of the kitchen. As they run past the kitchen, Ryan can see a few women who recognise them, and they start to scream. Ryan and Ami quickly run until they get to Operations.
    Of course, there are many guards in operation, and so Ryan and Ami walk into a side street again and walk around the guards and into the tunnel. They try to act normal, but of course Ryan and Ami are both terrified that someone will stop them. They find themselves at the entrance of the tunnel.
    Beyond this point, there are no people walking, and so Ryan pulls out his gun and tells Ami they need to sprint to the side tunnel that leads outside. They start to run, but when they are almost at the side tunnel, Ryan sees two guards. ‘Shit,’ he says, but there is no time to look for another way out. ‘Stay low,’ says Ryan, and they start to run at the guards.
    Whilst running, Ryan shoots his entire clip before they even see anyone coming. Ryan and Ami step over the bodies and crouch into the side tunnel. They quickly run through the tunnel, staying low, and eventually reach the metal frame. Ryan lifts the frame and tells Ami to hold it when she is outside.
    Ami climbs through and holds the frame from the outside; she has trouble holding it because it is a very heavy metal frame.
    Ryan quickly jumps outside the tunnel and, not even half a second later, Ami can no longer hold the frame and it slams shut with a loud noise. ‘Oof that was close! Are you okay?’ Ryan asks.
    ‘Yes I’m fine. How is your shoulder?’
    ‘It’s okay, but we’ve got to keep moving. It’s not safe here anymore.’
    ‘I’m so glad you came back for me,’ says Ami.
    Ryan smiles and says, ‘We are a team. We stick together.’
    ‘What do we do now?’
    ‘There’s a town not far from here. I went there this morning. We were overrun by a few KBs, but I think right now it’s safer to go there than stay here. Maybe we can find some food and spend the night there, then tomorrow we will make a plan as to what we’ll do next.’
    Ryan and Ami start to jog in the direction of the village.
    After journeying for a while, they arrive at the village border. They hide behind a fallen tree, and Ryan looks around to see if there are any KBs around, or even anyone from the resistance. Everything appears to be clear. It is late in the evening, and already it is getting dark; the birds can be heard singing in the trees.
    Ryan and Ami take a moment of peace whilst they sit against the tree, enjoying the birdsong. But soon, Ryan stands up and tells Ami they should go in case anyone from the resistance comes looking for them. They slowly walk to one of the buildings on the border of where the village starts. They walk next to the building, sticking close to the walls, but after passing two buildings, Ryan hears something.
    He tells Ami to stop moving, and silently he walks to the corner. He peeks around the corner, and there he sees a few KBs walking around. He quickly walks back to Ami and tells her that they need to find a different way. He looks around and there, across the street, he sees a passage leading to the backyards of houses. They quickly run across the street and into the passage, where they find a wooden fence to a backyard behind it.
    Ryan looks around to see if there are any KBs. He then kicks the fence a few times, and two planks of wood
