Part Twenty-Six -A-
I wasn't going to leave yet. Not without Tai.
EDK had set Tai down on the bed next to me, and left. I don't
know why, I guess he heard something at the door.
I'd feel sorry for the pizza boy later. I had to get Tai out!
"Tai, are you good enough to move?" I asked, nudging him gently with
my bound hands.
He stiffened a little bit, but nodded. Or at least, I thought that
was a nod. "Good, because we're going. Now." I said, sitting up so
that I could untie my feet from the bedposts. I worked with that for
a little bit, and then finally, set myself free.
"Yamato, just go... go without me." Tai said, rolling over a
little bit to look me in the eye.
I glared at him. "What the hell do you think I'm doing here? I'm
rescuing you. I don't care if you want to go all noble on me, you're
coming with me." I said, and with that, I got up over him, planted
my feet firmly on the floor and yanked him off the bed. Amazing, he
stood, and didn't fall. He leaned on me and we made our way to the
door.
Then, it suddenly occurred to me... I didn't know the way out of the
building.
Damn.
With that in mind, we continued our trek to the door. I opened the
door, using my left hand, as my right arm was wrapped around Tai's
waist, to hold him up. We limped out into the dark hallway, and as
I waited for my eyes to adjust to the dark, something smacked into us,
taking both of us down to the hard floor. I shivered, feeling the
cold cement under me.
"Dammit, you two! Get up!!" Someone yelled, hoisting both Tai
and myself to our feet.
Tai's face lit up in happiness, "Matt!" He said, smiling through
his pain.
"Yes, Tai... now let's get going, Mini-Me, help me." He said,
smiling, "you get the doors, and I'll carry Tai." He lifted Tai
up and cradled him in his arms. He whispered in Tai's ear, and
nodded to me. "Let's go."
We ran as best as we could, out of the building.
For some reason, there were no more obstacles. We just ran, out
into the sunlight...
But it seemed way too easy.
Way. Too. Easy.
AN-- Leave it to yama to see the big picture... this certainly isn't the end.
not by a loooooong shot!!
