(back to where we were with Roland)
As he looks at her, he can barely believe his eyes.
But that's when he realizes it. She's here. She's here.
In the Chop Shop. He never wanted her to be in a place like this, he could never bare the thought of it. He has to restrain himself from struggling against the bindings that hold him down to the table. The table, moments ago, which had been where he would technically die.
And it only takes a half-second to realize the doctor hasn't moved from his place, the needle in his hand is still, pointing directly at a vein in the side of Roland's neck. He tries not to make the wrong move, because if he had, the needle would plunge right into that vein, and the doctor would remember what he was supposed to be doing.
Ashley still stands there, a hip popped out to the side, her eyes flashing as they take everything in. Roland keeps tabs on her as he tries to think of what to do, but he can barely come up with a plan before Ashley reaches behind her and pulls out a tranquilizer gun. Probably from the guard at the door, Roland figures.
"Let him go," she comands to the doctor and nurse, who are currently the only ones in this room, her eyes are as hard as ice.
It only takes a second for hell to break lose.
When the doctor and nurse don't immediately reply, Ashley shoots them, and they go down. It only takes a few more second for her to have crossed the room and worked one of his bindings lose. Roland can't keep his eyes off her for more than a moment, his relief and happiness, a rare emotion that passes his face, are apparent to her. She gives him a small smile, enough to show everything she's thinking or wondering as that smile reaches her eyes.
That's when the surgeons come in, and it's like Ashley knew they would, for she hops over his table and as soon as her feet hit the ground, she's shooting. She takes out about three, misses a fourth. The other two scatter, calling for back-up.
"Shit," Ashley curses, and Roland can't help but grin, she never was one for swearing.
She shoots him a look but otherwise gets the other bindings un-done, and as soon as he's up on his feet, he resists the urge to sweep her into his arms. There will be time later for that, he knows.
"The band, we have to get them off the roof. Now," she says frantically, searching one of the surgeons she took down for something to use as a weapon, considering she used up most of the tranquilizer darts in the gun. Her ear twitches and she stiffens for half a second, she hears the footsteps coming, just as Roland does.
When they reach the roof, caos has spread among the band members, Roland sees Risa frantically scanning the crowd, he knows she's searching for Connor.
"This way!" Ashley signals to them as she grabs two of the members by their shirt collars and drags them down the stairs.
"What in the world do you think you're-" Risa starts as she follows, but Ashley cuts her off by a short,"Breaking you out."
That shuts most of them up, and when they reach the bottom of the stairs, she signals for them all to be hushed.
Roland flanks her as she peers around the corner, and he vaguely notices the guards in the operating room, the faint trace of the red carpet showing beyond, he knows their out-numbered. It doesn't stop him, though, from barreling forward at her slight nod, the signal for him to go.
He manages to take out one guard and grab his gun before desperately shooting at the others. He takes out two more before he hears Ashley say,"Keep going! Everyone out!"
She grabs Roland's arm, and he can't help but think about how he missed her touch. Then he catches himself and works on moving guards aside if he can get them, and then moves on to watching Ashley's back, making sure she's alright as he follows her out the door.
Kids barrel out behind them, some guards following in confusion and Roland more feels Ashley link her arm through his than sees it, he's confused, but aware considerring he knows that if he doesn't keep her out of trouble, he'll lose her.
It's then she starts mumbling as she gets farther from the Chop Shop, kids have now started fighting back against the guards.
"Five... four...," she mumbles, Roland catches site of Risa and Connor, and Ashley glances towwards them.
"Three... two...," Ashley whispers before Roland slinks his arm around her waist, he figures what will happen, and he yells for people to steer clear of the Chop Shop.
"One." and right as she says the words, Roland moves her in front of him, moving her against his chest as behind him he hears an eruption.
The Chop Shop has blown up.
People scramble out of the way, some move after Roland and Ashley, and he ignores the feeling of some pieces scidding against his back. He barely notices Risa and Connor clambering after them, now having Lev in toe. Roland doesn't let her go for a few seconds as they keep walking, he doesn't ever want to let her go again.
When they finally get inside the building, it's strangely quiet. Well, quieter than the outside world. Connor, Risa, and Lev are the only ones that stick with them as they enter Happy Jack.
