willie and eego swam downwards as zee and i made it to the pier.

"hurry! we need to find hayes and sky." i told zee as i locked the door.

"JACK!" zee screamed as a man stepped infront of us.

i quickly acted and pulled my gun out; shooting the guy.

"fuck, hurry! run!"

i glanced towards the cages and the animals were nowhere.

"JACK! ZEE!" sky shrieked. she was running towards us, a frightened look on her small face.

zee picked her up.

"skylynn, where's your brother?" zee asked her.

"with the monkeys." she said, hiding her crying face in zee's neck.

we ran to the section of the monkeys.

i stopped at my tracks once i reached the cages.

a man was lying on the floor as hayes stood on upon him, staring down at him. in his hand, was settled upon a gun.

"hayes." zee sighed, handing me skylynn.

• • zee's pov ¬

i walked towards hayes and hugged him.

he wrapped his arms around my waist and started crying.

"i-i-i killed him-m z-ee. i k-killed a m-an." he sobbed on my neck.

"shh. you didn't. you tired to save your sister and yourself. you didn't tend to do it." i said, stroking his hair.

i took the gun away from him and gave it to jack.

"let's go home, guys." jack said, placing the gun in the waistband of his jeans.

i nodded and slung my arm around hayes' shoulder as we walked out the zoo.

"HELP! SOMEONE, PLEASE!" i heard a girl scream.

i widened my eyes.

"zee, don't you don't dare do what you th-"

"give me the gun." i told him.

he shook his head and handed sky over to hayes.

"i'm going with you." he stated.

"okay, then. give me the gun."

he sighed and and gave me the gun.

"hayes, remember that time you drove a car?" jack asked him.

hayes shook his head.

"well, this is your moment." jack tossed him the keys and we ran to where the screams were being held.

"zee, duck!" jack warned me.

"no one's gonna hear you, baby." gilbert's voice rung in my ears, making me shudder.

"SOMEONE! p-p-please." the girl sobbed.

i pulled the gun out and set it.

i shot at two guys and they quickly fell.

"the fuck?!"

jack pulled out another gun and shot, as well.

"SHIT! GILINSKY AND BROOKS! GET THEM, DUMBASSES!"

"i'll get them! stay here." jack told me.

jack quickly jumped over the cages.

i looked over to the back of the cages and saw gilbert taking the girl away as she kicked and pushed him.

i quickly acted and shot him in the leg.

he let go of the girl.

"fucking hell!" he yelped out in pain.

i climbed over the cages and shot him in the stomach.

"stupid fucker." i muttered before helping the girl up.

"you-you're z-zee b-"

"yes, zee brooks. please, come with me. i'll help you survive."

"but, w-weed gilinsk-"

"he won't do shit to you. not unless i tell him." i chuckled to myself.

we walked out of the cages.

jack came quickly, blood on his shirt and face.

"uhm, what is she doing here?" he asked, scrunching his eyebrows.

"i needed to save her. i can't just leave her with gilbert. she might get killed!" i exclaimed, walking towards the exit.

"well, we might kill her, too!"

she tensed up.

"it's fine. he's kidding." i told her.

"if she stays with us, i'm gonna be wanted and kill me."

"jack, people have been wanting to kill you since you were 15." i scoffed.

i turned to the nervous girl.

"what's your name, hun?" i asked her.

"kelly."

"i like that name. suits you." i beamed at her.

she smiled back.

i turned to jack and saw him scowling.

a fire is gonna start as soon as we get to the house.
