“Hello, Father,” Mathias grumbled under his breath with a slightly less thick accent. Kaja gave up completely on trying to talk in English, giving a Norwegian greeting instead. Every since the 2061 treaty was signed 5 years ago, the Olsens have been trapped in the western country called the USA. Without any family to go back to, especially their mother, they were left with no help at all. The Olsens tried their best to ask the government to get back, but nothing worked, they didn’t even have the trust to let foreigners go …show more content…
Mathias thought, How are they going to even help?
“Well, let’s go there,” Mathias hesitated, forming multiple bad results from his sentence. “At least we could try,” As soon as the Olsens came to Times Square at the red stairs, government officials swarmed through the place, looking everywhere. They questioned every single person that walked nearby. With their guards and business suits, they intimidated everyone. More officials were searching the stairs, closing it and going under, looking for any kind of rebellious life form. We’re too late...they’re probably arrested by now, Mr. Olsen started walking the opposite direction, giving up on the strip of hope they almost had.

A man waved at everyone with a red sweater and jeans.
“Hello, everyone! Please come in, come in,” A big grin filled the face of the man’s face and quickly opened the door. He sounds, foreign, Mathias thought. Once the door was shut, the positivity on the man’s face was shut with it. Having a depressing frown, he asked everyone, “You lot are here for this flier, right?” Everyone nodded. “Congrats, you figured out what it really meant, you can sit on the chairs,” As everyone settled it, he began talking,
