Left Behind-The Kids: Escape To Masada Chapter 6 – Manny’s Decision
Vicki ate some fruit and toast and tried to fight fatigue. She didn’t know how long she had been up or how long she had been running on adrenaline. It had to catch up soon, but she reminded herself of their mission. Claudia Zander was out there, running from the GC, and needed help. At least, that’s what she said.
Vicki drank coffee and winced. It perked her up a little but left a bad taste. Another gang member walked into the garage and came out a few minutes later and spoke to the man with the gun.
“What do we do about Claudia?” Vicki asked.
“If they let us go,” Mark said, I say we go get her.”
Vicki put the cell phone in her lap and re-dialed the Wisconsin hideout. Darrion answered and sounded like she had been asleep. Vicki spoke softly and told Darrion what had happened. “Have we gotten any more messages from Claudia?”
“I’ll check,” Darrion said. The girl asked someone to wake up. Probably Janie, Vicki thought.
“Okay, it looks like a message came in from her a few minutes ago.”
“Read it.”
“‘Dear Young Trib Force, it looks like time is running out. I don’t think I can wait much longer. Please tell me if you’re coming or not, Claudia."”
The man with the gun stirred, walking closer.
“Write her back and tell her –”
“Hey, no phone calls!” the man yelled.
“– to stay where she is. Will be at her place as soon as we can get there.”
“I said, no phone calls!” the man said, grabbing the phone and turning it off.
“She’s not calling the GC,” Manny said.
“Shut up, traitor!”
Manny stood eyes flashing. “I may traitor? I’d like to see how long you would last in a GC jail cell, Carlos. How long would you hold out until you squealed on your friends and turned them in.”
“I know one thing,” Carlos answered. “I wouldn’t use religion as a crutch.”
