A/N: Short chapter, but it's important. New chapter will be up tomorrow! Please review!

"We've been located, I need all teams retreating to the roof, now!"

No. No, not now. We're so close. Damaris, Jett, and Yandel all begin running back to the stairwell. "Katniss, Gale come on!" Yells Yandel. Gale stares at me and I feel like he reading my mind. "No. Go, we have to do what we came here to do." Gale says firmly. The 3 soldiers look at each other. "I'm sorry Katniss." Jett says before all 3 soldiers retreat.
"Gale, Katniss what are you doing, get out!" Yells Boggs through my ear piece. I assume one of the three has told Boggs our decision.
"Ready?" I say. Gale nods.
I take the bottom of my gun and smash the pin-pad and the frosted window above for good measure. Immediately I hear sirens wail the halls and red lights flashing above us. Gale and I bolt in and look through everything. Knocking over medication with no worry for consequence to find what we came looking for. "There is so many!" I scream over the sirens in frustration. "Katniss, Gale, you need to get out now!" Repeats Boggs. But I don't, and neither does gale. I can hear the peacekeepers heavy tread through the sirens. "Katniss!" Gale yells. "Here! Here! I found them!"
I sprint over and haul 3 boxes under my arm and Gale takes another 4. "Roof or back exit?" I scream.
"Boggs how much time do we have?" Gale radios through.
"None." Is all he says in return.
"No" I whisper in disbelief under my breath.
"Back exit Katniss. C'mon. We're not giving up yet." Pleads Gale. I snap out of my trance and get ready to run, gun at the ready.
As the bullets rip through all the walls, the doors, and all the medication, smashing vials and vials of medication to the ground. The sounds of the alarms and the firing squad pierces through my ears and now all I can hear is white noise. Gale grabs the collar of my jacket and we flea through the stairwell. I turn as quickly as I am able and shoot with no regard behind me, as does Gale.

As we scramble through the stairwell we make it to the exit. But before us, stands at least 20 guards.
Gale yells something to me but I am unable to decipher it through the white noise, suddenly he pushes me behind him and Gale pulls out his bow loaded with an arrow, the tip coated in red. Explosive. Before I can even comprehend what Gale is doing, he fires his arrow and the ambers and smoke from the explosion are all I can see. He screams at me again, but this time I am able to make sense of it. "Katniss, Let's move."

I sprint past as the smell of burning flesh seeping through my nose. The rotting bodies are all I can see as I force myself to run forward. Quickly scurrying through, we reach a dark apartment complex and without hesitation we break inside. Dumping our bags on the floor I realise only 4 out of the 7 boxes we originally rescued made it through the escape of the Hospital. I slump down onto the floor as does Gale. I take out my ear piece and off the bullet proof vest that I was issued to wear.

For the first time since leaving District Thirteen I let my muscles relax. Gale radios in, but we receive nothing. "What do we do now?" I say. No word from the rest of the team. We have no conformation if they even got what they were assigned out of the GCH. Jackson and a dozen soldiers dead. The rest of the team could be dead too for all we know. All because I need to save my boy with the bread.
"We can't stay here for long, our faces are probably plastered on every billboard by now." Gale says.
"I don't even know where we are, or how to get back to the base camp. Not to mention because of the stunt we pulled at the Hospital they've probably destroyed it. With no radio from thirteen, we're stuck." I say.
"They'd have to be some sort of map or GPS in this place, I'll start looking." He says.
We both get up and begin searching through the home. Everything so immaculate and clean, everything here looks brand new. Reminds me of the train I saw when I went into the first games for Prim.
When we finally find a room that looks to be a study we search through the desk draw when I find a large bound book titled, "The beginners guide to the Capitol." In fancy block letters.
"Will this work?" I ask showing the book to Gale.
Gale nods and we settle down in uncomfortable dining chairs and lay the book out on the bright yellow table flicking through the pages. "Maybe if we find the hospital, we can work our way backwards and find our location and start from their?" I suggest. Gale nods and we continue flickering through until I notice a bubble drawing on the cover. Written inside it says, "Pull out map on page 104!"
I don't hesitate to find it, and when I do I feel like we've finally made some progress. Laying out the map over the table it is much bigger than expected.
"Solider Hawthorne do you copy?" crackles the radio behind us. I jump at the sound. I hadn't realised how on edge I have been acting.
"Boggs!?" Replies Gale is surprise.
Neither of us can barley understand him, just crackles of half finished words. "Boggs? We can barley understand. We don't have a clear signal." Replies Gale.
After a lot of mumbling on both ends we finally get a clearer signal. Not crystal clear but it sentences are somewhat comprehensible.
"Gale. Is Katniss with you?" Boggs muffles through.
"Affirmative." He replies. All I want to do is scream and ask if they made it out alive, did they get his Treatment, is Peeta even alive? But I remain silent and just focus on getting out of here.
"We can't track you through your cameras, the signal has been cut out. Do you know your whereabouts?" Boggs asks.
"We are unsure, we're probably a few blocks north of the exit we left the Hospital through."
"Are you in a secure environment?"
"Yes, but not sure for how much longer."
"Do you have any indication of how far you are of the train station?"
"No, but we have a map."
"Good, that's good, do you have it, and a pen handy?"
"Just a second." Gale replies, I quickly bring the map over and a strange black instrument that can only be describes as a pen, pencil hybrid.
"Okay Locate the Hospital, work your way back and tell me when you find your location." Boggs says.
It doesn't take long before we figure out where we are.
"Boggs, we're in Apartment Complex 3280." He says with relief.
"Good. You're in a secure part of the Capitol. I don't know how we're going to get you out, but we won't give up on you." Boggs says optimistically. "Will get back to you soon, radio out." Boggs adds hanging up.

"We might make it out alive after all." Gale says leaning back into his chair.
But it doesn't matter if I make it out alive. If Peeta dies, so will I.
