Chapter 12

It was raining

There you Ace, farell has been looking for you mouth told me

Ace she yelled

I'm not in the mood, mouth I said

Oh, not in the mood, huh?

Then she tried to punch me

I punch her

Then we broke into a fight

Then skinner, Kimmel and dad saw that and came over

That's enough farell said and broke the fight

Dad grabbed me and skinner grabbed mouth

Hey, farell look at my kid skinner said and showed farell the bruises on mouth's cheek

I gave her a bruise on the cheek

You are separate for the night

Mouth is staying in her bunk and Ace your going to stay with J squads for the night

Then I got to the room

Is that a kid? Ford said

Look, like one Griff said

What you doing here sweetie Nance asked

I got into a fight and I'm staying the night here

Then I got into a long shirt and got into bed with my dad

I slept with my dad sometimes when I have nightmares or when I get scared

Then he wrapped an arm around me

Then I fell asleep

Then the next me and dad were on a motorcycle

My arms were around his stomach

Dad got a beer and I got a coke to drink

We heard the news

Then a bunch of people were talking about the war

What difference does it make?

They're here, they're Winning

And whatever it is, they're gonna get it

Shouldn't you be over there? And your kid getting married off a man said

More times than anybody

I just laughed

As a matter of fact, I'm

Usually long dead by now

Cowards

Dad kicked my leg

What's going on

The powers gone

I hate the dark

My dad picked me up (he has muscle)

Then he set me down and went outside

Then dad took my hand and we ran

They can swim I said

Then it got us

Then we were training and dad and I were doing it out of anger

Then we shot at it

Then we saw Rita

Then I fell asleep and  my head rested on my dad's lap

He was brushing a hand through my hair

Then later we trained and Rita came over

You can do this you can both of you

You keep coming here every day and I'll train you both

You already have

Then we were on the beach again

Then I started to punch at it and shot at it

Then Bronx and ginger and Trevor came over and I started to shot at the alien

Then we were saving J squads and there kids

Then I had the knife and I stab it

What's next?

Straight shot, up the hill
