Chapter 14 - Station #14

"That's it! Just pant your foot right here!" Lukas is getting trained right now in station #14 indoor gymnasium. After what happened a week ago, he couldn't just take this lightly in the slightest.

"Yeah! You got it!" A girl named Sarah, with short boy-ish hair and a grey sweatshirt on, was having a mock battle with him, and was mopping the floor with him. Ethan, and Drew were also there. Watching as he got his ass handed to him by a girl. (Arthur wanted to stay home with the others by the way). 

Ethan got into the way of both of them. Stopping the 21st fight. "Alright.. I think that we're done for the day! Right, Lukas?" Ethan pleaded with him using his eyes, to take a breather for at least ten minutes. Lukas sighed in an over-exaggerated manner. Saying: "Ugh, sure" while walking off to go get some water. Drew also walked over to Sarah. They both bumped chests with each other. Since Sarah was flat, it was no big issue for either of them.

"How's it been man! Haven't seen you in almost a year!" Sarah puts a lollipop into her mouth. 

"Yeah I know it's been a minute!" Drew motions with his hand for a lollipop too, but she shakes her head, saying she has no more. Drew sulked a little bit. But then, they all of a sudden get really serious. It was like a light switch had just been flipped.

"So… was the story you were talking about real? Or were you just drunk?" Sarah interrogates him. 

"Are you kidding me?! Didn't you see how sorta distant Ethan has been since he got here? He's usually way more friendly and energetic. 

"What about the Lukas kid?"

"I mean.. He's changed a little.. Honestly he took that shit like a champ! Even I was shaken up like hell. Don't like to show it though" Drew said. "He's only been with us for a little over a week and he's always been distant with most of us besides Ethan and me. Other than us he'll only say the bare minimum"

"Seems like he's got a liking for you two…" Sarah teased him. "I wonder if he's also gay, like Ethan?!" 

"Nah, don't think so. Ethan hasn't even come out to him yet so don't mention stuff like that in front of him" Drew warns her. 

"You got it boss!" Sarah gave him a thumbs up. "I'm gonna go get some lunch, I'm fucking starving!" 

Now that everyone is in the kitchen. Lukas, Ethan, Drew, Sarah and Mark are all eating some delicious sandwiches that Mark made. 

Damn Mark! These sandwiches are awesome!" Mark takes the compliment in stride. 

"Fuck yeah it is!" Mark shouted.

Lukas was getting more and more uncomfortable with the absolute brick-shit houses hanging around here. He was starting to think that all they did was chug protein and work out. The sandwich, he thought, wasn't that bad in his opinion. He looked outside the window, seeing the light shine so brightly through the streets below. It warmed his heart a little, leaving a smile on his face that Ethan caught. Lukas looked over to see him with a mischievous look on his face. Sarah was watching this all go down, wondering what's going on.

"Alright gang!" Everyone stops what they were doing to look at Sarah. "We gotta figure out some sort of plan for that psychopath!" Ethan gets shivers down his spine. Even the mention of that sets him off.

"Well, we don't know where he could be or what he could be doing. We kinda just have to prepare for the worst right now" Drew explained.

Lukas scooches over to Ethan and whispers in his ear: "is that why we came here" Ethan just nods and asks: "isn't there someone else who should be here right now?" while taking a ship out of his juice box. 

"Oh Hannah? She's just out getting some groceries right now! She'll be back in an hour!" Sarah visibly thinks of an awesome plan for station #52. "I bet Hannah would love to train you guys! She's the strongest one here, even beating out Drew!" She punches his shoulder, which Drew laughs off but Ethan knew damn well that emotional, and physical jab hurt him and his ego badly.

"So what do we do until she gets here?" Mark asked like I, the author gave a shit about this character.

"We could maybe watch a movie or something?" Sarah soft-launches the idea. "Or we could maybe just chill out on the couch and do nothing?!" this time, everyone nods in unison. Making Sarah become all mopey and sad. Thinking: I just wanted for all of us to spend quality time together… 

So there everyone was. Lukas and Ethan both sitting on the couch together. Sarah was sitting in front of Ethan, allowing him to play with her hair. Drew was sitting on the right hand chair, asleep. Last but definitely least, Mark's bitch ass was seated on the left chair. Most of them were either sleeping, or staring at the wall, hoping time would pass. Lukas was bored out of his mind at this very moment, Ethan was pretty much the only one occupied right then and there.

"Psst. Ethan!" Lukas started whispering in Etan's ear again.

"Yeah? What is it?"

"When is this Hannah girl coming back?"

Ethan looks at the clock on the wall that's exactly five hours behind. After doing some quick math, he said. "In like, five minutes. Why?" 

"I don't know, just kinda bored right now" 

"Huh…"

*BASH! BASH! BASH!!!

"HEY! SOMEONE BETTER OPEN THIS GODDAMN DOOR BEFORE I BUST IT DOWN!" they all heard someone screaming and banging outside the door. Which could only mean one thing.. Hannah had just come back! She kept banging louder and louder on the door, having Sarah had to quickly get over there and open it before she actually broke the thing. Lukas for a second thought that the psychopath guy found him somehow. Making him suddenly break out into a sweat and start hyperventilating. Ethan notices and asks if everything is okay. But Lukas just waves him off and also gets off of the couch to go check out who's at the door. 

He walks in to see some very muscular girl, with long orange hair, and an ear piercing in her left ear. She looks at him and gags in disgust. 

"Who the hell is that?" she vulgarly asked Sarah.
