Sauli's POV

"I can't.. I need some rest.. Can we stop..?" Adam panted as we had ran down two sets of stairs.

"We can't stop. We need to keep going. If you're too tired to run, then I'll carry you." I said, stopping, since Adam had stopped too.

"No need yet.. I can still keep going." He said, standing up straight.

"Why are you wasting time then? We have to keep going. Now." I said with a growl. I wasn't happy with him wasting precious time like this. Adam said nothing and then just started to run down the stairs again. I followed him with a sigh. Humans are so freakin' weak.

Finally, after what felt like eternity, we got to the bottom of the stairs and to one of the side doors. And luckily, I still had the card key I stole from the guard, so we could actually get out too.

But what waited for us in there was a tall, metallic fence and a bunch of guards with gas masks on.

"No matter what happens, hold your breath as long as you can. Starting now." I said to Adam before taking a deep breath and then starting to hold my breath, hoping I could hold it long enough.

Not long after both me and Adam started holding our breaths, the guards started spraying some kind of white smoke at us. Just having the smoke around us made my animal instincts go crazy. They were telling me to get the fuck away from here. And that was what I was going to do. But not just yet, because I had to get Adam out too.

Then, without thinking any further, I picked Adam up and jumped over the fence, landing right in front of the group of guards. And of course they didn't see us there, because the smoke was covering their vision as well. And so, I just ignored the guards and took off into the nearby forest, still carrying Adam. And we hadn't even held our breaths for a minute yet. I wasn't even sure if Adam could hold it that long, so that's why I was hurrying so much.

"You can breath now." I soon said to Adam with a smile as we were far enough from the building. Adam immediately let out the air he had been holding and then started gasping for new air. I let him replace the lost oxygen while I made our way to a nearby meadow.

And as I got there, I set Adam down to the ground.

"Are we safe now? Can they find us anymore?" Adam asked and looked at me.

"No. Not unless they get really lucky." I said with a relieved smile.

"Thank god. Where are we going to go now?" Adam then asked.

"We are not going anywhere. Not together. You're gonna go that way, because then you will eventually end up into the city. And I'm just going to go somewhere. You probably won't see me ever again, so this is the goodbye." I said and turned around, ready to leave.

"You're just going to leave like that?! After everything I did for you?! Are you not even going to thank me?" Adam yelled and I stopped and turned to look at him.
