They follow the man and get to a truck that was packed with boys from Tom’s dorm that looked like it was about to go.

This time, the vehicle wasn’t as fancy as the one they used to get there. Just a pickup truck with a little wooden fence on the sides of the back part of the truck, to prevent anyone from falling out.

After they get on, two soldiers get in and the truck starts to move.

Tom is sitting there wondering where will they go this time, but he couldn’t speak with the rest since he is around people that weren’t transported from another world.

At some point the truck stopped in some town and some boys were called to get out.

Tom is happy that the place wasn’t as cramped anymore and could finally stretch a bit.

As the truck keeps moving, they start to see more soldiers and have to go thru checkpoints.

They even saw a tank at some point.

At night the truck finally stops and everyone gets out.

When they get down they get picked by some soldiers and separated.

Tom was left with Jo to follow one of those soldiers at a place where there were lots of trucks full of boxes and soldiers.

Tom and Jo are put to sit in one of the trucks with soldiers.

Some of them started to laugh when they saw that these two got on, but after the soldier that took them there leaves they all shut up and look confused.

A couple of them go running after him, yelling “Ay! Ay! You forgot those kids!”; “What kind of sick joke is this?”.

In response they get a calm “Commander’s orders…”.

The two look at each other and say something, but they were too far away to hear and one of them storms off and one comes back.

A few minutes pass and the soldier that ran off is back and the rest of the soldiers look waiting for him to say something.

Soldier:”It is no joke, they are coming with us…”
