" Gone Together" chapter 1

My name is Sierra Wilcanson. My best friend's name is Koby Meyers. We are 14 years old. We are typical best friends, for our time that is. We live in 4003 in a city called Chicago. It used to be a well running city, but is now in great debt. Almost everyone is poor and not many kids I know even have two parents. Koby and I take care of ourselves, and I take care of my 8 year old sister, Ella. Koby and I meet at a beautiful meadow every day and spend the day together. This is until the day we are kidnapped, and our lives change forever...
