Jok's Tunnel Ch5

Chapter Five

Soon I had brought Amy underground. I hadn’t thought until now about how our parents would think of this. Soon the secret would be out, we were missing. But really, we were just off on our own for a mini vacation. Anyways, who cares what parents think? My parents were divorced anyways; they just cared about the new man or gal in their life. All my sister cared about was her boyfriend and makeup. So, really I missed nothing, I felt at home down here, at least I used too. Now, Amy, I didn’t know if she would miss anyone, but I had to take the chances. I needed her quick thinking and encouraging behavior. We walked through curving tunnels and watched spiders climb up the mud covered walls. We walked by the alligator pit. Yes, people throw away baby alligators from New York, so they all go into one place, the alligator pit. The alligator pit is used to discipline underground people. I found Jok right I told him I would meet him. What I didn’t tell him was that I was bringing a person, not a piece of equipment, but I knew that if I told him that I was going up for a person, I wouldn’t be able to go. I told him I needed to get something from home. Amy wasn’t exactly from home, but close enough I told my self. When Jok saw us, he had a very displeased look on his face. “I thought you needed something from home.” He said. “This is what I had in mind from home, Jok.” I said defiantly. “You know that even you should not be down here, but you bring a friend, how selfish and stupid” “I am not!” “Stop, both of you.” Said a calm cool and collected voice. “I asked Lizzie to bring me down here. It is an honor to meet you, for I have heard much about…” Suddenly, Amy was interrupted by a guard slapping his dirty hand over her mouth. I looked up from the muddy floor, only to see the guard I left behind the first time I came down here with the new empire. “Your next.” Said the guard.
