Compound by S.A. Bodeen

The Yanakakis family is one of the richest families in the world. Rex Yanakakis is the founder of YK Industries. Most rich families would spend there money on cars and houses but this family spent millions of dollars on an atomic bomb shelter that they call the Compound. Inside is enough supplies to last 15 years. In this amount of time the radioactivity would disappear.
The Yanakakis children never expected to use this shelter but one day during a trip to their camp in the woods they had to race to the shelter. Once inside they realized that two people were missing, Eli's twin Eddy and Mrs. Yanakakis' mother. Everyone was devastated but Mr. Yanakakis said that life must go on.
6 years later Eli decided he needed to go into Eddy's bedroom. It was an exact replica of his room but there was no dust. Eli was very surprised. Eddy's computer was sitting on the desk. He used to have the same one until his dad updated it. Eli's mom came in at that moment and told him that she had been dusting the room. She allowed Eli to take the laptop and anything else he wanted in the room. He checked for internet everyday.
The food was beginning to run low and expire. The wheat started to smell weird but Mr.Yanakakis still ate it. Mrs. Yanakakis told the children not to eat the bread because she feared for there health.
One day while Eli was checking for wireless he received a signal. He went and told his mom and his sister, Lexie. She didn't believe him and told him to get more prove. Eli went back to his dad's office while he was inside and he received a signal. Online at the same time was twin number 2 or Eddy. He was alive! He was told that the rest of the family had died in an RV crash. Eli figured out that he was being held captive and he needed to get out if he wanted to survive.
