She hadn't spoke to him since Rain had suggested the escape. She was busy or avoiding Baird. When he did walk into a room with her in it Rain left saying she had work to do.
He'd been down there two weeks and still nothing from Delta. He'd never admit how much he actually missed annoying them. Walking along a walkway he saw a peice of metal drop.
"Look out!" A voice called.
Rain was once again hanging of a wall in a rapel harness, she had a weldier and was wearing some face protection. He couldn't see her face, but how many other women down here had red hair that went that long? She took off the mask and took in a deep breath her face was covered in sweat and grime.
"Hey Soldierboy" she greeted.
"What's with that nickname?" He asked annoyed. Baird had meant to ask something else but literally that nickname of hers got to him
"Your the only one I know that was a soldier in the COG that will admit it, you can make one up for me if it annoys you so much" She suggested placing the mask back on.
"How about prison table dancer?" He called up to her.
"Not bad Soldierboy, just a bit long" She responded starting up the wielder again.
"Ok good point, then how about prisongirl" Baird smiled at her, causing her to laugh.
"Prisongirl sounds fine Soldierboy, there's something else you wanted?" She asked slowly lowering herself down on the rope. She jumped off and detached the rope, rolling it up and swinging it over her shoulder.
"Your escape plan?" He asked.
"Four hours when the guards shut everything down meet me in the mess with the others or I can show you it now" She said.
"Now" Baird chose.
"Good, this way" She took off and Baird was having trouble keeping up with her.
Rain stopped on the lowest level, no one was down here. "Where is everyone?" He asked.
"Too afraid to come down here and besides they are starting to pack up, we got warning that the lits are hitting today or tomorrow and they would rather not lose anything to them" Rain informed. They came to a peice of metal covering a wall.
"Here" Rain started pulling it away from the wall mostly with the help of Baird. It was really heavy.
"Okay remember how I said I know every tunnel connecting to this place well I went over them in my head and found this one which I left alone years ago for a reason" She walked in grabbing a torch from one of the jagged out walls.
"I left this down here for emergancies but that isn't the point this is look" She pointed it to the end of the tunnel. Baird felt water.
"So it's wet" He looked at her and she smiled. Lifting the torch further he saw a few rocks in the way that would take a few weeks to clear.
"Exactly and if water can get in..." she trailed off. "It can get out and so can we" Baird recognised.
"I have the tools only one problem, the guards are putting me in the arena soon and I'm under watch this is going to take a few weeks so I need you to help me with it" She pointed to the rocks.
"Well I'm in" He said.
