Left Behind-The Kids: Terror in the Stadium Chapters 6, 7, 8: Confession, The Surprise Meeting, Witnesses To History
VICKI rushed to Melinda’s room. Cool air blew through the open window. Vicki grabbed Phoenix by the collar and let him sniff at the blankets. “Go get her, boy!” Phoenix jumped through the window and bounded across the wooden walkway. Vicki followed. Phoenix headed toward the road, then turned and ran into the woods. Mark caught up to Vicki. “If she gets away—”
“Let me handle this,” Vicki said. Mark threw both hands in the air. “I was just trying to help.” Vicki looked for Phoenix. He sniffed and ran through leaves in the distance. Someone whimpered. Vicki found Melinda near Felicia’s grave. Phoenix licked the girl’s hand. Vicki sat beside her. Melinda spoke through tears. “When you heard that truck, you assumed I had told someone. I can’t stay here.” “I’m sorry,” Vicki said. “Mark thought you’d alerted the GC.” “You did too! Admit it.”
“I don’t know what I thought,” Vicki said. “I have to get out of here. I can’t live with you people.” Conrad ran up the hill. Vicki waved him away. “Who’s the guy with the truck?” Melinda said. “A friend with supplies,” Vicki said. Melinda started to leave, but Vicki grabbed her arm. “It’s not going to be easy for us, but we have to admit we need each other.” Melinda wiped her eyes and stared at Vicki. “What do you mean?” “We need you to keep quiet about us, and you need us for protection. From the GC and the need us for protection from the GC and the judgments on the way.” “Protect me?” “We saved you from the poisoned water,” Vicki said. “I just wish we could have gotten to Felicia before she drank it.”
“I’m out of place,” Melinda said. “I feel guilty for staying with you and not turning you in. At the same time …” Melinda’s voice trailed off. “What?” Vicki said. “There’s something I haven’t told you.”
