Unwind:

Triplicate is the first of 7 parts on the book Unwind.
Connor Lassiter is a 16 year old boy who descovers that he is going to be unwound. Ariana (a close freind of his) gives him the idea of kicking AWOL or running away. Connor doesnt beleive he'd be able to go out into the world on his own, so he asks her to go along with him. she agrees, but the next night when he goes to her house to pick her up, she has second thoughts, so now connor is on his own. Connor finds a truck stop, and a trucker there agrees to give him an escape route. connor gets in the back of the truck. Unfortunally the Juvey cops find connor and pull over the truck. he makes a run for it. while running across the road, dodgeing tranqualizers, he finds a tithe. then connor sees a girl run into the woods, he pulls the boy from the car and makes a run for it into the woods after the girl.
lev is hit with a bullet, and he is now unconssious. a juvey cop is hot on their trail, but by the time he reaches them all connor and risa (the girl) have already made a plan, and they ambush the juvey cop. they three leave the scene and by the end of this section they head into the city.

Storked is the 2 section of the book. While the three kids are in the city they look for new clothes. connor and Risa descover that there is no report in the news paper of them missing. To avoid a cop the three hop on a school bus, but before connor gets on he sees a storked baby. Connor feels bad for the child, and he goes and takes it with him, this angers Risa and Lev. While on this bus Lev trys his best to communicate with a student that he has been kidnapped by an AWOL and that he just wants to be tithed. this conversation foreshadows what Lev will do in the near future. Connor and Risa pretend as if the baby is one of their own, they meet a single mother Alexis. The three unwinds hide in the girls bathroom at the school. They stay and wait for an oppertunity to escape. while during passing time Lev makes a run for it. the other unwinds lose him in the croud and Lev reports the kidnapping to the school office. he calls pastor Dan and he learns that the priest does not want him to be unwound. and that everyone outside of his family already believes that he is unwound. The pastor incourages Lev to start a new life for himself. Lev panics and pulls the fire alarm to help everyone escape. the unwinds think it is too risky to leave the school so they hide in a science room. Unfortunatly the baby cries, and the crying catches the attention of a teacher. Hanna (the teacher) helps Risa, connor, and the baby reach a safe house for Unwinds. at the safe house which is in the back of an antique shoop down town, connor and Risa meet Sonia. Sonia takes them to a hiden basement inwhich they meet other unwinds. they are incouraged to write letters to love ones. these letters would be sent to the people when the unwinds turn 18. Eventually the "ice cream man" comes and he takes them to a ware house filled with other unwinds.
