“Mr.northcott how much longer”zayn asked politely”about fifteen more minutes”.”hey that’s your dad's car there”jack pointed to the army greenish jeep,two cars behind them”neat”zayn said as he declined a likely spam call”hey zayn,is your mother pregnant?”Jack blurted out”oh yeah,she’s a real pain in the-m-with those mood swings and random cravings of hers honestly I think two siblings is enough””oh”jack said as he turned away from zayn trying to hide his pain”um”zayn seemed more than a bit confused”yeah pregnancy sucks”jack said,still turned towards the window as a tear rolled down his cheek followed by another and then another each tracing the path made by another tear,till he couldn’t hold it anymore.How could he cry silently when on the inside he was screaming,sobbing,depressed,sad,angry,when he’s a jumble of emotions.He turned to zayn who was a honest person and didn’t hide his shock or surprise” are you okay” he asked genuinely worried for his new friends abrupt breakdown,jack sniffed“yeah it’s just”he took a shuddering breath before continuing”my mom died while giving birth” he heard a sharp intake of breath from the front seat where his father sat,and knew that his dad was fighting an inner struggle not to burst out in front of two“little”boys” rare and painful” jack managed before bursting into tears “yeah, I’m sorry that must be horrible”zayn said while awkwardly patting jack on the back”please slide down your window if you haven't already and scan your card to be allowed entry”they both turned to see that they had stopped next to an electric pole which had a scanning space,and a blue and white long car stopper,lever thing in front of them”yes,yes,of course,they ought to have had this”michael mumbled while he fished in his bag”security measures boys”he said, directing his words to jack and zayn”oh”was all zayn managed,while jack just sniffed and wiped a few tears”all cleared.Welcome to orglicious,Michael Northcott””yes,yes,thank you,have a great day”dad said distractedly while sliding back out his card”dad you don't have to say that to the poll thing, it's a machine!””but manners are very important”.a few minutes later they arrived at the giant warehouse”Wow!!!”Jack said,looking all around to see the whole thing”whoa,that thing is huge”zayn said”yes it sure is! Now come on out of the car boys”mr.northcott or as known by most jack's dad or michael said as he smoothly slid out of the drivers seat”alright michael?”Roman came jogging up to the trio as they made their way to the only doors visible on the giant stretch of gray.”my,my.I see you brought children”chuckled a secretary-or was it a security guard, who was sitting in a small booth right inside the giant building(although it was so big that building woulndt really fit the size)”oh,yes.How about michael, representative from colorado food company, ur food, will go on with the children while i explain their presence”said roman in an authoritative yet still soft and friendly voice”great idea,we’ll be by the prepackaged meal section, then.For when your done talking”michael said before strutting off as if he knew the place by heart,which he did not.”Dad are we there yet?”Jack asked after ten minutes of turning corners and looking at signs”uh,yeah”mr.northcott said before falling silent once more.About three minutes later they were even more lost than before”Dad can we use one of those and a map?”panted Jack”great thinking kid”Dad said before rushing over to the man with a clipboard who was sitting by the line of golf carts.”come on in boys!!!this is fun, just be careful.I also got a map”Michael drove up to the and they hopped inside without so much of a glance back”were not even that far from the prepackaged food section,just a five minute drive!”, and they were off,zooming through straight spaces and taking unapproved by police or pedestrians,turns.”hello there.You got here alright? Anyway you all look thirsty, there are some water bottles in the back of this golf cart”roman had arrived mere moments after they had.”kids,mom wouldn’t have let, but i do.So while me and michael do our stuff in the fruit section,you too could wander.Just zayn,remember your phone has to stay on full volume the whole time””duh dad””bye”.After all the farewells and warnings were said, the two parties separated.”Let’s go to the candy section,it’s the closest anyway”said zayn eagerly”okay,sure”jack said,taking out a complicated map”it’s pretty far,about a fifteen minute walk”he said,looking thoughtfully at the map”too bad,let’s go anyway”said zayn,before they set out.”WOW””thats a lot of candy”they both felt a bit jittery and nervous,going into that giant aisle,which you could barely make out the end of.They started walking,and when they were just about halfway through the aisle,and their voices were starting to get scratchy from all their oohing and aahing,two things happened at once:the first,a small and fully clean and white tornado the size and height of zayn,appeared about fourteen feet away from them,and number two an announcment sounded through the whole warehouse.It said the following”ATTENTION ALL,ATTENTION ALL.WHATEVER YOU DO,DO NOT GO INTO THE CANDY SECTION!!!A MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE,INCLUDING THE FIVE MISSING WORKERS,HAS OCCURRED IN THAT SECTION!!!SO I REPEAT:DO NOT GO INTO THE CANDY SECTION”as the loud announcement echoed around them,the two new friends looked at each other in horror,and not only because of the announcement but also because they were being pulled by the strange tornado,they weren’t able to resist,although nothing,not a crumb on the floor or a package of food on the shelves was being pulled!When they were about a foot away from the-thing,jack jumped into the air,hoping that the magnetic force was only on the ground,but he just stayed in the air,being pulled as before.He shut his eyes before being engulfed in warm and misty nothingness.But this can’t be the end of the chapter,since at that moment a girl who had her head in a book, a bulging backpack and headphones around her ears rounded the corner.she looked up in time to see an arm sticking out of the tornado thing,which was starting to shrink,and once she saw it,she ran to it.As she did so,she tossed a notebook out of her backpack.When she was about a few inches away from the tornado,which was now only two inches every way around zayn's hand,she calmly took hold of his hand,which was slowly being swallowed up.And then she screamed as though her life depended on it”oh no your not going anywhere without me”,before being swallowed completely by the tornado,which then gave a satisfied and loud burp before disappearing without a trace.
