Max's POV

I couldn't tell exactly when it happened. Everything was going just as it was
supposed to. I was sitting in my room pretending to listen to Brin, when I heard a
crash and the cover on the air duct fell through. We both looked up. I smiled. Brin
was startled and jumped into a fighting stance. Syl jumped down first and prepared
to fight Brin. Brin, assuming no one else was coming, started to swing at Syl. Krit
jumped down, caught Brin's arm and flipped her over. She fell unconscious. I
picked her up, swung her over my shoulder, and jumped into the duct. Syl followed,
then Krit. Syl got in front of me and led the way.
Once outside, we stood at the entrance waiting for Jhondy and Lia to arrive
with the C-4s. "Where the hell are they?" I asked after ten minutes. They were
supposed to get there before us. Just then, I heard the sound of four gunshots, all
from the same gun. Then a fifth, but different. I ran into the woods where the shots
had come from. I saw Zane, kneeling over one of the five lifeless bodies that
surrounded him. He was shaking and crying, with a gun in his hand. I felt a tear
trickle down the side of my face and I didn't have to ask what happened.
