The last ten minutes of Bradley Baker's life was a whirlwind he wasn't sure he could ever explain to anyone. Getting Caleb out of the cabin had been the most important thing, but he had been so worried their dad would find him wandering outside. When he got the second floorboard up from the room they were trapped in, Brad knew they needed a distraction. Even after all that, their dad still managed to find them. If it hadn't been for Luc.
"Come on, Come on. Caleb, come on!" Brad shouted, pulling at his brother's arm. Dad's killing Luc. He killed the other guy. We need to get out of here
They ran and found the pick up truck. Luc and Richard's pick up truck.
"Where are the keys, Caleb?" He shouted as he climbed into the driver's side.
The car was covered in snow, but it didn't matter to Brad. They were getting out of there. Except the truck wouldn't start. And then their dad was there and Caleb was shouting and their dad broken the passenger window. Finally the engine caught and Brad punched the gas, but their dad hung on. Where are you going? We have to stay together. We have to stay together. I'm your father. Please don't leave me. How can you leave me? Please, it's only us now
"You're hurting him, let him go!" Bradley shouted, trying to keep his brother in the car as their dad tried to pull him out.
Then, just like that, Caleb managed to kick their dad free and they kept driving. Bradley couldn't breathe. Caleb was crying. Brad was trying not to cry too.
As the adrenaline started to wear off, the lingering affects of the hypothermia began to press upon Bradley. He need ot get them to safety.
Between one long blink and another as his eyes drooped, Brad went from the darkness of the forest at night to sudden sunshine and desert. His eyes widened and he slammed on the brakes. The pick up screeched to a halt.
"Caleb, are you okay?" He asked as he looked at the passenger's side to see his brother gone.
Panic set in. Brad put the truck in park and quickly got out.
"Caleb?!" He shouted, turning around in circle. Then he spotted a building. "Caleb?!"
He ran wearily into the building.
"Caleb?!" He shouted, looking frantic, asking anyone nearby. "Has anyone seen a 12 year-old kid?"
