Chapter 17, almost done!


Things were going quite bad for the squadron. Due to Bridgette's injury, Courtney had applied a tourniquet around her arm to stop the bleeding and stated that she needs to rest, but Mickey and Jay woke up. Gwen and Heather couldn't get to the meeting because it would mean that their friends would be left defenceless. Without other viable options, Gwen has contacted Kate.

"... so we can't leave while she's resting, we should set up another rendezvous point." Gwen was talking to Kate on her PDA.

"Ah, I can't blame you for that, but we need to be quick though. The operation is almost in full swing." Kate stated.

"Can't we at least find some weapons for them so we can skedaddle?" Heather asked.

"They still would be left alone." Gwen stated.

"Well, we're gonna try to come to you, we have your location." Kate said. "Just sit tight."

"Okay." Gwen said.

The two look toward the crowd of survivors next to them.

"So we're just gonna wait?" Noah asked.

"Yeah, I guess so." Heather stated.

"Oh man." Mickey explained.

"I'm hungry." Owen said.

"Seriously?" Noah asked. "You've eaten the entirety of this station's rations!"

"Did you even take any protein filled ones?" Lightning asked.

"Are we seriously developing cabin fever 10 minutes in?" Duncan questioned.

"Guys, just calm down." Kitty said. "We just have to wait."

10 minutes later.

"Ngghhh" Everyone heard as they turned to see Bridgette waking up.

"Bridge!" Geoff exclaimed as he hugged her.

"Ugh, what happened?" Bridgette asked.

"Don't worry, you're safe now." Gwen stated.

"You lost quite a lot of blood." Courtney explained. "Just try not to move your arm too much."

Gwen then scanned Bridgette with her PDA to check if she's good.

"She seemes to be stable. Don't try to take off the tourniquet." Gwen states.

"By the way, Gwen. What is that?" Courtney asked.

"Oh, it's a special kind of PDA." Gwen explained. "Some AMS agents gave it to me."

"They're the ones investigating this case." Heather added. "And Chris is one of the men behind it."

"Of course it was Chris!" Courtney exclaimed. "It's always Chris!"

"And am I the only one bothered by the fact that you two are working together?" Duncan asked.

"I don't know why, but fate kinda threw us together." Gwen states.

"Yeah, as much as I'd hate to admit it, we made a good team." Heather said.

"I also have to ask. Is Brody okay?" Geoff asked.

"Don't worry, he and the Cadets are already in safety." Gwen assured.

"Wait, are the attacks only on the islands?" Shawn asked.

"Fortunately, yes." Heather said.

"But why?" Emma asked.

"I think it was only to distract the agents while they get ready for the apocalypse." Noah said.

"Now what the hell is that for?" Lightning asked.

Suddenly, the door opened. Kate and Ryan walked into the room with Izzy and Alejandro.

"Hey guys!" Izzy exclaimed.

"Izzy?!" Some of the contestants yelled

"Mi amor!" Alejandro exclaimed.

"Hi Alejandro." Heather said as she went to hug him.

"So, is this all?" Kate asked.

"Yeah, I think so." Gwen answered.

"But guys, what about Blaineley?" Owen asked.

"She's not here on the islands." Noah said.

"And I doubt that anybody would care about her." Eva states.

"Yeah, I agree." Heather says.

"So, Gwen, Heather. We need you to come with us." Ryan said.

"What?!" Courtney exclaimed. "And leave us alone?!"

"Oh come on Courtney, you'll not be alone!" Izzy exclaimed. "That is why me and Alejandro returned!"

"A slippery eel and someone nuttier than an acorn tree ready for harvest." Noah snarked. "Yeah, I'm sure this will go well."

"And what sort of weaponry do you guys have?" Emma asked.

Alejandro pulls out a SPAS-12 shotgun and Izzy pulls out some her minigun and some dynamite. This surprised some, mostly the Adversity Twins.

"Whoa!" Kitty exclaimed.

"Where did you get those?" Geoff exclaimed.

"We stopped by an armory for the shotgun." Alejandro exclaimed. "The dynamite and minigun though, Izzy carried it with her."

"How did you get that through clearance?" Courtney asked.

"Ohohoho, don't ask questions you don't want answers to." Izzy shrugs.

"O-kay?" Bridgette spoke up. Then she tried to get off the bed.

"Come on, I'll help you." Geoff offered.

"Thanks." Bridgette smiled.

"So how exactly are we gonna get out of here?" Shawn asked.

"I have perfect memory when it comes to directions." Alejandro claimed.

"Eh, now that I think about it, we really have no other choice." Emma states.

"Well, let's just hope for the best." Kitty said.

"Come on, let's go!" Kate said.

The group split up from there. The majority will find a way out while the rest will find a way into the heart of the facility.

The group walked for a long while, until they reached a large gate.

"Be careful, there might be something dangerous through this gate." Ryan said.

"Where is G and Rogan?" Gwen asked.

"They're trying to find another way in." Kate informs.

"If boss music exists in real life, then we would be hearing it right now." Heather states.

"Whatever comes at you, stay alert." Kate said.

She puts her PDA on a keypad, and the door opens. Gwen and Heather were ready, at least they hope.
