Shit I'm so bad at updating! Sorry guys I just forget (a lot!) I don't do it on purpose though.
The Escape Part II
Shaun hit against the strong metal door. Sinedd looked back around for any guards and Tia scanned the vent for any switch or button just to get them out.
"Wait," said Cleo. She was rubbing her sleeve against the wall there was an entire plan of the vent shafts on this floor.
"Brilliant," said Aiden "What the bloody hell do we do now?"
"We need to disable the deadlock obviously," Sinedd said.
"I know that, but how," Sinedd shrugged. Cleo continued to study the plans looking at all the rooms on it. Suddenly Tia pointed to the left hand corner. Written in black writing where the words:
Ventilation Controls
Cleo smiled and Shaun looked anxiously towards the entrance of the vent as there was a sound of footsteps. Aiden pressed his finger to his lips. The footsteps died soon after.
"So someone has to go there and disable it," said Tia.
"Not someone me," said Cleo confidently.
"What!?" shouted Aiden he tried to sit up but instead hit his head loudly against the roof.
"Look I know what I'm do-"
"No you don't," interrupted Aiden loudly. Suddenly an argument erupted between Aiden and Cleo and Sinedd and Shaun because of the predicament they where in. Tia placed her head in her hands and breathed.
"All right everyone shut the fuck up!" shouted Tia "For gods sake we're in enough trouble, the fact is that we need to open this so I propose we all go," All eyes where on her now.
"As much as it pains me to say it she's right," Sinedd sighed. Aiden began to study the plans to find them a route.
They where back in the corridor and they continued quickly but stealthily along. There was a sudden crash and a lot of shouting up ahead there was a group of guards escorting prisoners back to their cells.
"Oi!" shouted one of the guards. Several made a grab for them. Aiden ducked out of the way of one took the knife out of his pocket it was still covered in the old guards blood but that didn't bother him. He sunk it into his gut. The guard gave a roar of pain and fell to the floor. Sinedd had punched his guard as hard as he could in the face. He felt his thumb get caught in his eye as he roughly pulled away. The guard had his hand over his face as he tried to kept his eye in place. The guard that had grabbed Cleo had, had his hand shot off. Cleo turned and placed the gun squarely between his eyes and squeezed the trigger. Shaun had been thrown to the floor he kicked the guard in the chest. The guard doubled over as Shaun brought his elbow over his head. Tia had been pinned down the guard was slowly constricting her windpipe. Tia reached behind her and grabbed at something behind her. She hit the guard over the head with it. She dropped whatever it was and sat up coughing up blood. The other prisoners had set off back down the hall. Tia felt someone pull her up. She coughed again violently.
"Come on we have to keep moving," said Shaun.
Arriving at the end of the corridor they where surrounded by guards.
"Get down!" shouted Sinedd. There was bullets flying in every direction. Shaun and Cleo started shooting back. Sinedd hissed Tia looked towards him. He'd been shot, by friend or foe she couldn't see. She placed a hand over his left collar bone. He cursed and then there was silence.
"Holy shit Sinedd you all right," asked Aiden.
"Funnily enough no," said Sinedd his voice heavily laced with sarcasm. Aiden rolled his eyes but looked relieved all the same.
"Guys come on," said Cleo. Shaun stood pulling up Tia and said
"All right calm down,"
"Hey she has got a point we are breaking out of jail!" shouted Tia exasperated.
Further down they reached the ventilation control room. Cleo swiped the card and the door slid open. Shaun held the Boron X up and as the door opened he shot the four guards quickly and swiftly.
"Good thinking," said Tia.
"Thanks, I'm just going to check the guards for bullets," Shaun said modestly. The room was dark and smelt odd. The walls had black dirt clinging to them. There was a massive screen opposite the door and a control panel in the centre.
"All right please tell me someone here is a electronics genius," said Aiden looking round at them all.
"I could maybe figure it out but I can't promise anything," Cleo stated.
"Cleo it'll do we seriously need to be quick!" Cleo nodded and moved in front of the controls. She began to study the panel, staring intently.
Cleo`s P.O.V
I breathed out everything in front of me seemed so foreign, my mind clouded with the task that weighed heavily on my shoulders. I began to study the controls at my fingertips, cautiously I began to search the screens in front of me for a clue or hint on what to press. I threw a glance behind me, everyone looked nervous, even Aiden who was usually so calm. I focused I knew there was no time. I studied the words and symbols and it all clicked into place. Every door in the vents was connected to one of the sensors in front of me, on a timer and only controlled from here. Shit!
Everyone's P.O.V
"I know what to do," Cleo stated suddenly making them all jump "But it's... not as simple as you might think. I'm sorry,"
"What's wrong?" Tia asked, worried.
"The doors are controlled by sensors here, though they're on a time lock. It's impossible to open them all get back to the ventilation shaft in time before they close again. Which means I'll have to stay here and control them while you go,"
"No!" shouted Sinedd "We can't just leave you!"
"You have to! We didn't go through all of this to stop at the first hurdle!"
"I'll do it!" argued Aiden.
"No, now you all need to go," Cleo felt like she'd been stabbed Tia was on the verge of tears, Sinedd looked broken, Aiden couldn't even look at her and even Shaun was upset. Tia suddenly threw her arms round Cleo now definitely crying. Cleo couldn't help but cry to, Tia had become her sister and she wouldn't let her die.
"Go please," Cleo uttered through tears. Sinedd pulled Cleo in for an albeit awkward hug and stating
"I fucking hate you sometimes," Shaun also gave her an embarrassed hug. Cleo felt touched by his effort.
"Aiden?" she asked nervously.
"God I'll miss you. I mean that," Aiden whispered to her. She nodded and let him go. They watched her as she closed the door as they left.
"Come on!" shouted Aiden "We can't let her do this in vain!" They turned running back to their previous location.
Cleo`s P.O.V
I watched the metal door slide shut in front of me. My friends, the people I love most in the world were gone. But it was okay. I wasn't afraid any more. In fact I almost felt liberated. It was to hard. Questions had been plaguing my mind for weeks now. Where would I go when I got out? How would I live? I had no family to go to when I got out. Would they even want to see me again? All I have ever wanted was freedom but I never could be truly free. I watched my hands skim over the controls. It was easy. Five sets of controls, for all the levels. I gently pressed the button for the level 4 vent plans. Please who ever is up there keep them safe. Keep me safe..
Sorry it's been ages. I've been doing my exams so not had a lot of free time. But it's coming up to Christmas so I should have more time. Thanks for reading. I love you all. ;-)
