I keep my eyes on the road ahead and my foot on the gas. Driving non-stop all day, we only stop at night to stay hidden from chimeras and infected. Finding a quiet place off the road, I turn off the engine, and the five of us huddle around while eating.
"How much longer until we reach this 'Mark Twig' guy's house," Bailey asks.
"It's Mark Twain," I answer, "And we're still about a week away."
"A week," Nicholas repeats. "But my brother."
"I'm fine," Jacob groans. He wipes bits of sweats from his forehead before poking at his food again. Rebecca, who is sitting in the front passenger seat beside me, also stops eating.
"Hey Jacob," she starts. "Do you need another rag?"
Putting down her can of beans and spoon, Rebecca reaches behind her. She struggles to pull her backpack onto the seat for a few seconds. When she finally does it, she searches around before pulling out another small square of cloth.

Earth Has Fallen Chapter 60: A Night Out
Tristan Harlow:"Son of a bitch."I sigh and shake my head while reaching into my pack and pulling out another filter. Taking a deep breath, I unscrew the filter in my gas mask. Throwing the empty filter to the side, I replace it with the new filter in my hand. When I finish screwing and securing it, I grab my pack."Son of a bitch.""What's the problem?" Rebecca asks, stoking the campfire. Seeing the fire fade, Rebecca turns and grabs a handful of sticks. About to throw them onto the fire, I shoot up and slap her hand."Ouch. What the hell was that for?""Don't feed the fire. Keep it low.""Why?" Jacob asks."A bigger fire means more light. More light draws attention, and you never want to draw attention. Especially when you are outside."Stopping, I turn and look around."You never know what is around a dead tree."The whole group turns and looks around themselves.With the sun onl

Tristan Harlow:"Okay," Jacob yells. He hits the side of the Jeep and shoots me a thumb-up. "Try it now!"Nodding, I turn the key in the ignition. The Jeep's engine roars and thunders, and all the lights on the dashboard turns on. When they do, I see countless symbols, like "check engine" and "low fuel". I ignore all these symbols and look at Jacob."The car's on! Come on, come on, come on! Before it dies again!"Slamming the hood, Jacob quickly walks around the side. Nicholas opening the door for him, Jacob jumps in, and the second I hear his ass hit the seats, I stomp on the gas. The car shoots forward, and we all cheer as we drive to the abandoned bunker. However, while the kids are cheering, the car starts to slow."What the hell?" Rebecca asks, looking at me."No, no, no!"No matter how many times or how hard I stomp on the gas, the car won't speed up. It shakes and jumps before finally slowing to a complete stop

Earth Has Fallen Chapter 57: On the Road
Rebecca:Driving non-stop, breaking down and running over a bunch of dead trees, swerving across some rocks and signs, I keep going and going until, without even realizing it, I'm out of the forest and back on a broken asphalt road. Slowly taking my foot off the gas, the jeep slows to a stop. Looking ahead, seeing nothing but empty roads, rusty cars, and a red sky, I turn around and look at everyone."Is everyone okay," I ask. I look from right to left, starting with Drifter and going to Jacob."My brother is still bleeding," Nicholas answers. All eyes turn to Jacob. Jacob is sweating and shaking slightly. He's using one of his hands to cover the bullet wound Jim gave him. Despite all of this, Jacob smiles and gives us a shaking thumbs-up."Nicholas," Jacob moans. "Don't worry about me. I'm fine. Just glad to be out of there.""Mov,e kid," Drifter says. He pushes Nicholas and hovers over Jacob. Grabbing Jacob's hand, Drifter slowly
Earth Has Fallen Chapter 56: Escape
Tristan Harlow:"Get out of here," Marcus screams before swinging his hand. Looking right at me, I stop sneaking toward the soldiers and look closer at Marcus. He's holding up his hand, and I can see something small and silver hanging from his finger.Just as I realize the thing hanging from his finger is a pin, an explosive kicks me into the air and knocks me back. Screaming as I hit the ground, a loud ringing sound pierces my ears."Ahhh," I say, slamming my hands against my ears. "Fuck."Despite the ringing sound in my ears, the overwhelming headache, and the aching chest, I still push myself up."Marcus, what the...hell?"As I push myself up and look, I don't see Marcus anywhere. Instead, I see three dead soldiers lying on the ground near me."These are the three soldiers that surrounded Marcus," I think, "But where the hell is Marcus?"About to run to where I last saw him standing, I stop

Rebecca:"What the hell are you talking about," I ask. "Marcus, come on! Get over here.""How," Marcus asks. He lifts his camouflage shirt and shows me his bloody chest."Son of a bitch," I say, covering my mouth as I step back. Marcus's stab wound is worse than I expected. Even though it's wrapped, there is still blood flowing out of it. The area around the wound is black. Looking at Marcus, I finally notice him. He is barely standing straight. His body and face are drenched in sweat and he's as pale as a ghost.Biting his tongue as he pulls down his shirt, Marcus looks to the right."There," Marcus says, pointing at one of the bunker's walls. "That, over there, is the maintenance tunnel I mentioned earlier. 20 years ago, when the bunker was being built, the construction workers used it to move supplies and vehicles in and out of here. Afterward, the bunker was constructed and they sealed the entrance.""They sealed the ent
