The crowd behind the group of people that were lined up waiting to go past the border, could see a man getting carted off somewhere, and the way they were treating him wasn't humane at all. As not a single soldier wanted to get close to the person.
"Look at that. They don't even have the manpower to enter the city and try to stop the situation, yet they are quite happy to place a border, and treat us like crap." One of those in the queue said.
"It most likely he got bit. We should be lucky that they aren't just killing him outright. If one of us gets bit, maybe they will be taking us to a medical centre to see if they can do something."
Of course, none were aware of the special situation Zain was in, and in the end, the army had locked him up in the back of a police van. There were bars at the back that would allow him to see through, but it was reinforced on the inside and no one else would be travelling with them.
"Take him to the base!" The old man's voice was heard.
The van Zain was in started to drive away, and there was an escort truck not too far behind. There looked to be a total of eight soldiers with assault rifles held in their hand, and including the driver and his passenger, there were ten in total.
'It's a lot less people than there were at the border. I guess they've never had a situation like mine if they're treating me like this. If I really wanted to, I think with all my powers I could break out of here and escape, but then I wouldn't find out everything I wanted.' Zain thought.
Through the small gap area that he could see, Zain noticed that the vehicle he was in wasn't heading back into the city, but was heading somewhere else instead.
'There should be multiple military bases stationed in different areas. I guess their military base is a little ways out from the city. Away from people, making their life a bit easier.' Zain thought. 'Judging by their reaction though, they weren't looking for me. The border was set up for another reason, but at least, I managed to peak their interest.
'Let's just see how much the military is involved in this, and how much they know.'
Eventually from the small window, Zain could see that they were heading into the middle of some fields. There was just grassland everywhere, and a few large trees here and there. There were almost no signs of life at all.
However, with his sensitive hearing he could hear the sound of many people, vehicles moving, large and heavy, even the sound of helicopter propellers. Without a doubt, they had arrived at an army base, and it seemed to be a rather big one.
————
Kelly, had seen everything. Since Zain's commotion had caused quite a stir, she as well as the other soldiers were stunned as they watched the scene in front of them. So she was no longer being told off for standing idly by.
As Zain was practically forced into the vehicle, in her head, she kept flip flopping about what to do.
'I… have strength and Zain himself is strong. If I was to try and break him out of that car now. We can maybe make it, right?' Kelly thought. 'But then, wouldn't Zain have asked me to do such a thing, or is he in a situation right now that even he didn't know about.'
In the end, it was the smile, the smile she had witnessed on his face that made her decide that the best thing to do was nothing, because before being captured he had given her a bunch of directions.
'Zain… you told me these directions because you knew you would be caught, but why is this place so… important.' Kelly thought.
The key's were held in her hand, and it was her last chance, she could take the car and try to follow where Zain was going, or head to the location that had been given to her, and a choice had been made.
Travelling in the car, Kelly's eyes were beginning to fill with tears as memories were filling her head.
'Crap, why am I so useless!' Kelly thought, as she banged her hand on the steering wheel, and bent it slightly. It still worked, but any harder and she would have destroyed the thing.
'Everyone around me gets hurt, and I finally find someone that can help me, and he gets taken away, right in front of me!' Kelly thought.
The destination was still a little away, about forty minutes of constant driving on the highway. She had eventually reached her destination. It was a small town, known for doing a lot of industrial work.
There were a lot of factories and even a power plant as well. Like the city though, as soon as she got close with the car, it was practically useless for Kelly to drive on the roads. So she stopped the car by a petrol station that was just on the outskirts of the city.
'I'll take the keys with me, never know when I might need the vehicle again.' Kelly thought.
From there she started to walk, and was repeating the name of streets in her head, she had no reference, and there was no phone to try and find where a particular location was. Luckily, Zain had told her to head to the power plant that could be seen from nearly anywhere in the city.
From there, she needed to find the street names, and continue, and that's exactly what she was doing.
Until she had finally reached her destination. Not too far from the power plant, attached to the side, was a rather large factory. It was a big rectangular shaped building that was still quite intact.
There was a wall surrounding it with barbed wire as well, and now she stood in front of a solid gate that needed to be opened, either from a button, or something Kelly didn't really know.
"Hello!" Kelly shouted. "Is this… the Reborn group?" She asked, and eventually saw a camera on the wall blinking slightly red, showing that they were watching her.
