Sorry for the short length.
Gabby POV
I stood up just as quickly, looking over at my group. "I think it's time we go off and do what we were assigned to do."
They nodded, we walked over to Courtney, Lizzy, Iggy, and Gazzy. "We should split up again."
Iggy sighed in acceptance.
We waved and hurried down the hallway, taking a sharp turn at our stop: the control room.
If we hadn't mentioned before, we were to take out the security cameras and all that other stuff before attacking everybody. So much for that plan...
Christian stepped forward once we made it to the door. He looked inside, looked back at us, then stared at the doorknob.
More staring.
I sighed. "That's okay, take your time. We totally aren't going to get killed if we fail."
He glared at me, but still payed attention to the doorknob, smoke started billowing like crazy.
I looked at Aleesha and Daniel, "now would be a good time to develop new powers to stop time or something."
They shrugged.
The doorknob started to fall, but Christian caught it, proceeding to jump in pain and drop the molten metal to the ground. "Dammit!"
We turned around, hoping nobody would hear.
But just our luck, Dr. Brigid came running down the hall with her crazy scientist assistant.
"You guys are in big trouble," she said, grabbing onto the scruff of my shirt.
"Especially you," she whispered in my ear, I could feel her cool breath on my skin.
Ew.
She pushed me down to the ground, and proceeded to walk up to Christian. "And you, you just need to be worked on, no laser vision."
Christian glared, and this time, the phrase "if he could shoot lasers out of his eyes, I'd be dead" applied her. Smoke rose from her lab coat.
She tossed it off though. "I will be back. Back for all of your bodies."
She whispered something to the scientist, and he pulled out a wrench and picked up the some what melted door handle, and screwed it back on. It looked ridiculous, but he unlocked it.
He shoved us in, one by one.
He pulled out a gun, pushing it against our necks to force us to the wall that didn't have any electronics running on it.
He backed up, and held the gun outwards. We heard a noise at the door, and closed our eyes.
I heard Katherine speak, but I was too busy concentrating on not dying to pay attention.
Max POV
I opened the bloody handle, trying not to grip it too hard, I did not necessarily wish to have my hands covered in blood.
I pushed the door open slowly, and there were Iggy, Gazzy, Courtney, and Lizzy.
"Max!" Courtney said, arms wide.
I waved and Fang, Angel, and Preston stepped out behind me.
"You are all alive?" Iggy said. "I thought you died."
Fang rolled his eyes.
Footsteps ran though the hallway, an Benjamin and Katherine ran to us, carrying a knocked-out Brigid Dwyer.
Alexa followed, the backpack hung over her shoulder, Anna right next to her, having nothing in hands but a syringe filled with a clear liquid.
Fang shuffled his feet uneasily as they brought Brigid over.
Anna carefully handed me the syringe. "This can kill her off."
"She's not who runs this place though," Benjamin said. "He escaped."
"Chu," I whispered under my breath, looking at Brigid.
Her eyes fluttered open. "Where am I?" She recognized me, pressing her eyebrows together,
"Maximum."
"Brigid," I said slowly. "Where is Chu?"
She laughed, "Like I would tell YOU...he's far past gone. He's probably far away by now."
"Brigid, we can kill you right now and be done with you forever if you don't tell us where he is," I whisper to her a bit cruelly.
She gulped. "I choose die over telling you where Chu is. I'd rather die..." she repeated that phrase like a prayer, taking it to heart. "I'd rather die than help you..."
"So be it," my eyes narrowed, Anna walked over to me, holding the needle carefully.
I carefully injected it into a blood vein in her wrist.
About five minutes later, our group was hurrying with Iggy's down the halls to find Gabby, Aleesha, Daniel, and Christian.
"They went this way," Courtney pointed to the right.
I sure hoped she was right, we took the turn and made it to a door. The doorknob looked melted off partly. "Yup...they are in here," Courtney said, "that's how Christian made it into the weapon room."
I literally face-palmed.
We fumbled with the door quickly. Katherine ran up behind us. "What's up?"
"We can't get in," I whispered quietly to her.
"It's locked?" She asked at the same volume.
"Yeah," Fang nodded for me.
"Which is why I brought some keys," she pulled out a key ring from her pocket. "The door handle is melted a bit, so you'll have to try extra hard to open it."
"Okay..."
"Gabrielle!" She whispered sharply, "if you can hear us, we will be in there soon."
"What about the others?" Courtney said.
"They can't hear as well."
Now I have the last two chapters finished up, so if I get a reasonable amount of feedback, the next one will be up really soon and so forth.
Wanna review for the sake of the end of this story? For the slow beginning to the quick end of it: the next intense chapter and the epilogue.
