Chpt.17
"Midnight, get Shadow! I'll handle the bomb!" I exclaimed. Midnight nodded and carried Shadow out through the back door on her shoulder. I whipped out my cell phone and dialed Dad's number. The phone was ringing. come on answer it, answer it!
"Artimis, where are you? I haven't seen you all…"
"Shut up dad! Red, Blue, or Yellow!" I yelled.
"I don't know what you're talking about, and don't have that tone…"
"Dad! Bomb in front of me! Which wire to pull? Red, Blue, or Yellow!" I exclaimed desperately. twenty seconds.
"Tell me where you are and I'll defuse it."
"Fifteen seconds! Red, blue or Yellow!" I exclaimed into the speaker.
"Red!" he yelled. I quickly yanked the wire, and the bomb ceased ticking.
"Whew." I sighed. ten seconds to spare.
"Thanks dad, call you later." I said hanging up, not wanting to explain where I was. I ran out the back door to see where Midnight and Shadow got to. Midnight was close by, leaning over Shadow. When I ran up to her, she looked up and said,
"I have no idea what to do! Do you have any medical experience." she looked frantic, and her voice sounded very familiar.
"Yah, but I don't know where to take her to get a look." I said.
"Our hide out." gasped Midnight. "Follow me." she said, leading me to the sewers. We twisted and turned through tunnels until we gotten to a small room that was elevated above the sludge. "I know, not very homey, but this is all we could get." Midnight said. There was a cot that she laid Shadow on and I took a look at her bullet wound. Alfred taught me how to clean wounds and fix injuries. Once I was done and she was bandaged up, Shadow seemed to be waking up.
"Wh…where am I?" she questioned.
"In your sewer hide out." I answered.
"Sorry Shadow, I didn't know what else to do." Midnight said.
"It's alright. I know I can trust her. In fact." Shadow pulled down her hood and revealed her face.
"Shadow are you insane!" exclaimed Midnight. Shadow looked like the little girl that was kidnapped by Luis, but a few years older. She was Shannon Bolero.
"I'm fine Sara." Shadow said calmly. I was shocked.
I think Shadow just said Midnight's name.
"If Shadow trusts you, then I do to." Midnight said, about to take off her mask. I knew I was going to do it too. I owed them so much. At the same time Midnight and I took off our disguises and I was shocked.
"Girl!" gasped Midnight.
"Woo-woo" I felt as if I said it in a whisper.
"You two know each other!?"Shadow exclaimed.
