Lucy stood sheepishly behind james. Adam let go of my legs, and I slid down the wall. I looked at Adam and Lucy, ' is this true' I choked, my eyes filling with tears. Adam said nothing, his head hanging low, staring at the ground. 'well' I barked Lucy couldn't look me in the eye. My eyes traveled down to her stomach, under her uniform I could just make out a small bump, like she was wearing a large jumper under her uniform. I picked up my mask and threw it at Adam. 'you better put that on, you've got responsibilities' I spat, I limped as fast as my leg would let me to the other side of the market, while steering clear of the rods, that were still leaking out gas. I leant against the wall, slowly sliding down until I was sitting on the ground. It was then that I let the tears flow, and started sobbing. I had my head buried into my knees, when I felt someone sit down next to me. From their silence I guessed it was either Lucy or Adam. I curled up into a tighter ball and buried my head further into my knees. We sat like that for a long time before my bum went numb and my legs started to cramp, when I looked up, there was a hazy mist around the market and several people were lying on the floor unconscious. My leg was bleeding badly and I was beginning to feel faint. I didn't know whether it was blood loss or the gas that was making me feel faint, but I suspected it was a bit of both. It was Adam who was sitting next to me, I saw James hugging Lucy, who was crying hysterically. Then James came jogging over. 'helps coming, Rebecca just spoke to me over the radio and they are on their way in the.....' I passed out in the middle of his sentence.
