Chapter 14:
>Someone ate your arm?<
______________________________________
The only sound was the buzzing engine of the car as they drove through the Scorch.

Jorge, who was driving, looked happy as he zoomed through the lands. Happier than Darcy had seen him, anyway, but maybe that was mostly from the absence of a building collapsing or a Crank attack.

"Darcy, what happened to your arm?" asked Thomas. He was sitting beside her and only just noticed the wrapping.

"I got hungry and we had no food, so I ate some of it."

"What!?"

"Of course she didn't eat her arm, shank," butted in Minho," although, someone did."

"Someone ate your arm?"

"Yeah. Didn't catch his name though."

Thomas's face was scrunched in confusion as he stared down at Darcy's arm wrapping.

She then told him the story, only lying a bit to make some parts seem cooler.

"--- and then I got tired, so I just lay down and was like 'yo, I'm done now, let me sleep' and he was all like 'Okay good night' and then everyone else showed up and decided to do who-knows- what to him."

"I don't... remember it going like that," said Frypan.

"It knocked you out, you slinthead. Then we had to come rescue you," snapped Minho.

"Pretty sure you lot were banging on the door for ages before we went out the window. And I'm even more sure I heard you scream like a little girl at one point," said Darcy, matter-of-factly, pointing at Minho.

"Sure you weren't hearing yourself?"

"I'm not little!"

"Keep telling yourself that."

"Alright, knock it off, hermanos."

Darcy and Minho both huffed as they looked out the windows.

They eventually came to a stop on the side of a mountain. Everyone got out of the car, so Darcy followed-- not glad that it seemed they were going to have to start walking again. She enjoyed getting to sit down for a while.

However, Darcy saw the reason they stopped. Up ahead were many empty cars, causing a block.

"Well, I guess we're on foot," said Jorge.

They walked cautiously ahead through the cars, peering into some of them to see if there was any explanation for the abundance of them.

Then, all of a sudden, shots fired.

"Get down!"

"Take cover!"

Everyone dropped immediately to take shelter behind the cars.

"Hey, is everyone okay out there?" shouted a voice.
