It took about four hours to fly to this island. We were silent the whole time. We didn't pull out our phones to listen to music. We didn't read books or watch movies. Nobody did anything but stare out the window at all the clouds rushing by us. Multiple times I almost screamed at Aubrey to turn the plane around, but I forced myself to stay silent. I took deep breaths and shut my eyes as I leaned my head against the cold window. Right before I almost drifted off to sleep, Emily shook me awake. She said we were almost there and we needed to get ready. The plan was that we would land on the other side of the island that the base was on and to meet the army halfway when they came for us. Flo and Stacie were going to stay with the plane. I was going to sneak around the outside and hopefully avoid any encounters with soldiers.

We landed in a grassy field right by the beach. Flo set up her computer and saw that there were already a few soldiers making their way across the island to meet us. Right before we split up, I went over the plan one more time. "Does everyone have their walkie-talkies?" was my final question.

"Yes," they all replied.

"Okay," I breathed in and out trying to compose myself. I still couldn't believe I was about to walk into a underground base full of people that could shoot me in a heartbeat. I took a step in the direction of the base and then stopped and turned around. I looked at all my friends. My girls. The people who have been with me from the beginning. The people who might die for me tonight. It was only seven girls against an army. How were they going to win this?

"What if I never see some of you again?" I asked holding back tears.

"Don't worry about that," Amy assured me. "We can take care of ourselves. Now go save your girlfriend."

I formed the tiniest smile at the word "girlfriend." Would that happen if I could save Kommissar? Did we have a future?

Then it occurred to me that I had a boyfriend. Oh my god I nearly forgot. How did I forget that I had a boyfriend? How was I suppose to explain all this to Jesse?

Aubrey noticed I had kind of spaced out and read my mind. "Stop thinking about the future and focus on the present. You got this."

I nodded. I took maybe my last look at the Bellas and turned and headed into the forest while everyone but Flo and Stacie went in the opposite direction.

I had been walking for about an hour. Flo had said this island was like three miles long, but I didn't think it would take this long to reach the base. She told me not to use my walkie-talkie until I had reached it so they couldn't intersect our conversation or something. When I finally crawled up over a hill and looked down into a small valley I saw there were only a couple soldiers scattered throughout the trees. I pulled out my walkie-talkie.

"Flo, Stacie, are you there?"

"We're here Beca," Stacie's voice came through the speaker. "If you crawl down the hill and go to the very edge of the forest, you should be able to enter through the air vent."

I walked or actually rolled down the hill while trying to stay hidden in the grass. At least it was night so my black outfit helped me blend in. I took a few steps toward the first tree and then Flo cried, "Stop!" I froze."You are right above the entrance. Stay there until the rest of the girls meet the army."

I ducked behind the tree and waited in the shadows until Aubrey's voice came on over the speaker.

"We just stopped because we can already see a couple of people dressed in black walking toward us. How experienced are these guys?" she asked Flo.

"Well judging by their current base and the way it's built, these people have only been training for a few months," Flo explained. "So probably not that experienced."

After a few moments I heard several gunshots ring out across the island. And then a few more.

"We took out those three guys but now more are coming," Aubrey explained while firing her own gun.

"Okay, but if they overwhelm you, you can just leave." I suggested.

"For the last god damn time Beca, we are not leaving!" she yelled into the walkie-talkie.

"Ok Beca," Stacie came on. "If there isn't anyone around you now would be a good time to enter. Feel around on the ground and see if there is a hatch or something."

I knelt down on the ground and wove my fingers through the grass until I hit something. It was a little lump in the dirt. I dug a little bit and realized it was a lock on a hatch. Fortunately I had decided to buy a lock pick so I pulled it out and unlocked the hatch. It took all my strength to lift it up out of the ground.

"I'm in," I said to Flo as I jumped down into the air shaft and started to crawl through it.

"How far do I have to crawl?"

"About 30 feet or so," Flo replied.

"How are you guys doing Bree?"

"We're fine, none of us has been hit yet and we have actually taking down many soldiers already," Aubrey replied.

"Keep going Beca, you're almost there," Stacie interrupted.

I crawled a few more feet and my knees started to hurt.

"Stop, if you go a foot further you will fall through the hole. Just use your hands to push it down."

I reached my hands in front of me and pushed until the door fell down and I was looking at the ground. I lowered myself down and quickly looked to see if anyone was near me. The distraction seemed to be working. I was in a narrow corridor that was made of stone and it was only lit up by torches every couple feet. It was a little scary so I turned on the flashlight that I brought. "Which way do I go?"

"Take a right and follow it down until you come to the next intersection then take a left."

I followed her directions for the next couple minutes until Flo started to panic.

"Oh my god they're here!" She cried through the speaker.

"Wait what?"

"There are soldiers here attacking the plane, how did they find us?" I heard gunshots in the background over her voice.

"Flo, are you and Stacie okay? Flo, can you hear me?"

"Beca…...you…..on…...own." Flo was breaking up. "Find…...her."

"Flo! Flo!" I was screaming as loud as I could without anyone hearing me. But the only thing I could hear was a scratchy noise on the other end. I couldn't even reach Aubrey or the others so I must have gone too deep underground or something. I was on my own. Except I didn't have a clue where Kommissar was still. Flo was the one guiding me through all the tunnels and such. I was currently in a hallway with like nine doors on each side so I figured I peer through each little window to see if I could spot anything. The first three rooms I glanced into were empty, the next four had a lot of boxes piled up on them, and one appeared to have soldiers in it and it looked like they were drunk. I quickly moved on so I didn't disturb them.

The next room was dark except for a small lamp that lit up the back wall and all I saw was a body that looked like it was nailed to the wall. I turned away but then stopped. That body had blond hair.

I looked again, just to be sure, and yes the person was still blond. And they were wearing all black. There isn't many people like that that I know.

I immediately pushed open the concrete door, surprised to find it was unlocked. I walked as fast as I could until I could see her clearly. Then I stopped and almost fainted at the sight.

Her wrists and ankles were tied to the wall and she was unconscious. There was a huge bruise under her eye along with a deep cut on her left leg. I saw many cuts all over her arms and most were bleeding. Her hair was completely down, the mesh that she wore under her shirt was gone and her shoes were missing. Because of the bleeding cuts the rest of her body and clothes were covered in red stains. She wasn't moving at all. Was she dead? I cut the ropes holding her and carefully laid her down on the ground. I checked for a pulse and was relieved to find that she had one. I was going to attempt CPR but then gasped as she suddenly coughed. I waited for a second and as she coughed one more time, her bright blue eyes opened. I smiled and tears came to my eyes. She sighed deeply before her eyes turned to me and a confused look came to her face.

"Kleine maus," she barely whispered and then she cringed. It almost seemed like talking put her in pain.

"It's okay," I whispered. "I'm here now, you're okay."

"I...told...you….not...to..come," she paused after every word.

"I don't pay much attention to anything you say when there's a German goddess around," and for once I didn't curse at myself for complementing her.

She smiled and then groaned and I could finally see how much pain she was in.

"What did they do to you?"

She didn't respond, she just breathed heavily and slightly said something in German. I decided that that wasn't important right now, but it would be important later.

"Can you stand? We need to get out of here."

She shook her head. "You….go.."

"No," I shook my head. "I'm letting you go this time."

"Why?"

I shook my head again. "Come on I'll help you up."

It took about three minutes to help her get up and once I did I nearly fell over as she put all her weight on my shoulders. At least she wasn't wearing heels anymore otherwise she would be towering over me. She did her best to hop on one foot as we slowing made our way out of the room. I couldn't imagine who would do this to her and why. But one thing for sure, they were going to hell for it.
