Cooper was freaking out, his only brother Adam was now stuck in a net. Cooper paced in circles, still keeping his face straight but his mind raced, giving Adam a headache. “I’m not sure, Cooper is holding my pocket knife” Adam said getting motion sickness from the net swinging side to side as he rolled about covering his ears trying to block out Cooper’s yelling thoughts.

Tairock rolled his eyes. "You're not getting the point." He pointed at the wall. "There's another trap that'll trigger if you cut down the net." He frowned, then reached up to inspect the net. Metal wiring. "In fact, it'll probably trigger if we even cut it. Unless it's detonator coil..." He sighed. Probably best not to consider that possibility.
He frowned. How to get him down without cutting the net? It had sealed itself shut - it was probably physically impossible to get him out without cutting it. Which meant it was impossible to avoid triggering the trap. "Please tell me one of you has a better idea than cutting the net down and running like hell..."

Bother shook there heads, “running is the only thing were good at.” they said, once again, together. Adam looked up at were the net closed above him, “or we could open it slightly at the top, just enough to get me out?” he suggested, cooper nodding.

Tairock shook his head. "This is sealed shut, and there's wires on the net as sensors. If we even cut it, the trap goes off... So I guess running is our only option." He sighed. Hopefully the trap was something only fatal if you were nearby...
"Get ready to run..."

Both the twins felt as though it wasn’t the best idea but they both agreed, mentally, that they should follow that idea instead of trying to be safe and find a way around cutting it. Adam and cooper nodded, getting ready to run in there own ways. Adam move slightly so his feet were facing down instead of over his head/ Cooper faced forward leaning, ready to run.

Tairock waited another moment, then grabbed his knife and slashed through the net, allowing Adam to fall. "Run!" he yelled, following his own advice. He was already moving when he heard an ominous click from behind him.
Then the tunnel seemed to explode.

Adam tumbled to the ground but didn’t stay there long, in a moment both him and his brother were darting ahead of the other boy. The Tunnel started collapsing behind them, if it wasn’t that they were only a few yards from the door they might not have made it. They both squeezed though the door and tripped, rolling into a green area before them. They had an exhausted look on there faces and there hair was messed up, now that Coopers shirt had been torn off by a falling rock, they looked as if a mirror was sitting next to one another, exactly alike.

Tairock dived through the door as well, a cloud of dust following him and covering all three of a second. After a brief coughing fit, Tairock was able to see. He walked back through the door to find the tunnel almost completely collapsed. "Well, so much for going back..." he muttered. Now what?
They had to keep moving, obviously. A blind idiot could have realized what had happened. There'd be guards on their trail before long...

The twins sighed, wiping dirt from each other’s faces. The truly hated dirt, ever since they were trapped in a dumpster full of soil when they were little kids, stupid bullies. Adam looked down towards the small town that lead to the larger city though the mountains, “we got to move Cooper” he ordered, though he could have just nudged him to get up. Cooper was already nodding by the time Adam mentioned his name. They always wanted to go further than the city, to reach the ocean beyond it and maybe to the main lands.

Tairock walked back out into the sunlight. Ugh. At least it was fairly cloudy...
He narrowed his eyes. Did he hear-?
Yes, he did. Helicopters. Am I really that important to them? he wondered. Helicopters were rather overkill...
He got up with the twins quickly. "We've got to hide - they're searching for us in choppers!" Well, he didn't care if the twins were caught, but if they were, they might end up revealing stuff that got him caught, too...

The twins looked at him, ”look.” Cooper started, but yet again, Adam finished his sentence. “go hide or something, we spent our whole lives alone and we don’t need you following us” Adam said, it was true, they cant have him following them around. They didn’t know if he would suck up to the cops if he got caught just to get from the police.

"I don't care about your life," replied Tairock scornfully. "But, like it or not, we're stuck together for now. I'm not willing to take the risk that you two will be captured and end up giving them-" he didn't need to specific who 'them' was "-information that lets me get captured again. And I am NOT going back there. Ever." His voice was surprisingly vehement. "Besides, there isn't much space to hide around here. Avoiding each other would be pointless. And does anyone know where the hell we are, anyway?" He'd lost his sense of direction in the tunnel...

The twins sighed heavily , “its your fault for following us” Cooper started. “if you other gifted would leave us alone then we wouldn’t even have been found out and therefore not having to come to that damn school.” Cooper looked at him with a slight glare, all because of that one stupid gifted that ratted on them, their parents turned worse and sent them to that school only to be shunned by others for being alone. It served those assholes right to be murdered the day they sent them away. Adam set his hand on coopers shoulder, “your right. It would be hard to avoid each other.” he said easily calming cooper along with settling the problem at hand.

Tairock rolled his eyes. "I have no clue what happened in your past, and I don't give a damn about it, either. Not my business." He'd been caught... why had he been caught, anyway? His memory wasn't working well; he just remembered... nothing. Oh well. It didn't matter.
"Glad that you see reason," replied Tairock scornfully. "Now, shall we hide before those choppers spot us and take us back there again?"

Adam nodded, “if we get to the town first then we can lose them once we reach the inner city” he told him. He knew that fighting would get them nowhere so going with a stragity would be the best choice. Cooper looked at him as if his twin was crazy, he shrugged after hearing what his thoughts told him, “cooper just go along with this, its fine” Adams thoughts called out.
