Previously on Quick Conclusions:
"Really Cas?! After what she did to us!" Jacob interjects
"She could have a reason, she has to!"
"Yeah, she was working with the government this whole time!" Ezekiel quips
"Ugh woah guys let me-oomph!"
*bomb detonates*
"Get down!"
"Aaaahhh!"
"What's happening?!"
*aftershocks cease*
Eve groans as she slowly comes to, pain shoots up her left arm accompanying the increasing pain in her head. She tries to move but despite the destruction around her the metal cuffs on her wrists were still intact binding her to the mangled metal that once was a chair.
"Baird?!..Baird can you here us?"
Jake?
"Eve please say something!"
Cassandra they're alive!
She tries to reply, but the debris around her makes it hard to breathe, footsteps come closer and closer.
"BAIRD! I found her! Stone, Jenkins help me get her up!"
10min earlier..
"What the hell was that?!" Cassandra asks as she emerges from the stone table she was sheltering under.
"An explosion Cass, what else would cause the ceiling to collapse and almost crush us!" Jones snaps, she looks over to see the thief covered in dust but unharmed.
"I see the ceiling didn't crush your sarcasm Mr Jones" Jenkins stated as he emerges from behind a massive pile of rock dusting off the debris from his elaborate suit.
"Where's Jake?"
"Over here" came a strained reply from the cowboy as he stumbled towards them littered in small cuts and bruises
"Stone, good to see your still with us" Jones stated with a hard slap on the back eliciting one of the historians famous glares.
"Thanks Ezekiel I can't say the same see-"
"Wait where's Baird?" Cassandra interjects
How could they? They had completely forgot about their guardian, the one who despite recent events risked her life many times to protect her Librarians and she was left in the open cuffed to a chair while they all found shelter.
"Baird?!..Baird can you hear us?"
Silence responds..
"Eve please say something!"
A groan comes from the right corner of the room
"BAIRD! I found her! Stone, Jenkins help me get her up!" Ezekiel shouts as he races to the corner and bends over a section of scattered debris.
"Ugh no loud noises Jones I've had enough headaches for today"
They all convened in the corner to see their guardian surrounded by large chunks of stone and metal and covered in debris, after a moment of utter shock they uncuffed Eve and laid her down in a section cleared by Cassandra moments before.
"Oh my gosh Eve I'm so sorry I should of never gone along with this, you got hurt and it's all my fault I'm sorry-"
"Cassie please just, not now" she hisses cradling her right arm against her chest.
"Let me see" Jake's tone makes it sound like an order more than a question so reluctantly Baird lets him examine her arm holding in gasps of pain as he applies pressure.
"It's broken in at least 3 places, we need to stabilise it so it won't be damaged further" Jake whispers hoping that his guardian won't realise the extent of the damage for herself.
"Um guys..where's Flynn?"
Sorry it took so long to update! I've been inundated with school work and wasn't able to revisit this story till now.. I know it's not as long as it should be but I didn't want to make you guys wait any longer.
