"I think.. We're alright now." I manage to say through tears. Zach chuckles.
"Yeah, we're alright."
We stood there for what seemed like forever, my eyes getting heavy. Soon, I was pulled into a sleep. This time, without nightmares.
Third POV
It quickly became morning and slowly everyone started to get up. Surprisingly, it wasn't Cammie, Liz or Jonas up first. It was Jason. He was standing in the kitchen looking at the coffee pot, for what seemed like hours. Jason was confused, he may have lost the one person he ever loved, tried to kill his best friend but yet he was still alive. Alive for what? [A/N: If any of you feel like you're just done with life, PM me! I'll be there if you ever wanna talk or rant. I'm good at listening and staying quiet.]Ashley was his life, without her, the days were gloomy, black and white. Behind him, Liz and Cammie were watching. Cammie moved up to him and put a hand on his shoulder and squeezed it reassuringly.
"We found her, Jason. She's coming home." Cammie says softly, tears in her eyes. She has never seen Jason like this. Even when they were in the hell hole together, he was optimistic, determined to live. But now, what she saw was someone struggling to find a reason in life, like her. Jason slowly comprehended the words, and slowly looked at Cammie. He couldn't bear to see what he had done to her neck, covered up or not, he can just imagine what hid underneath the makeup. Cammie smiled at him, pulling him into a much needed hug. "She's going to be alright." Cammie murmured into his shoulder. They stood there for a long time until Grant decided to butt in.
"Can I get some of that coffee?" Grant asked. Bex glared at him and smacked him. He won't admit it but Grant was jealous, it seemed like Jason was more of a brotherly figure than him. But it was ok; Grant knew that there would be time after they got out of there. Jason chuckled a bit and broke the hug.
"Yeah dude, look, I'm sorr-" He was cut off by Bex.
"Forgotten and forgiven, Peter Pan." Jason cracked a smile and wordlessly gave Grant the cup of coffee. Macey clapped her hands.
"Now! Let's get started!" She rubbed her hands in anticipation; they were so close to ending this.
"Right, I figured out part of what we're going to do, I was going to run it through with Liz and Jonas first but might as well tell everyone else. We all know Ashley's location and what cell Ashley's in but there's two complications." Cammie says.
"Two?" Zach asked, he was leaning on the countertop with his own coffee. She nodded at him.
"One: We don't have access to her cell and Two: Not all of us can go in there, maybe one or two of us but there won't be back up unless needed. Which by the way, I hope not, this should go by smoothly." Cammie says, warning all of them. Liz and Jonas stood there, no doubt making a pros and cons list of what can go wrong. They stood there waiting to hear the plan.
"For one, Cammie can't go. There might be enemies down there that can recognize you… Two, it would be me going down there with someone because I can hack the lock without any hitches..," Liz opened her mouth to protest, Jonas just gave her a reassuring smile, "Three, I'm not the muscle type and I think if I went with a girl they'd ask questions so I'm going to need a guy." Jonas finishes. Cammie looks at him, thoughtful.
"So, Liz anything to add?" Cammie asks. Liz shakes her head: No. "I guess that's the plan. I volunteer Grant to go." Grant looks at Cammie and she elaborates why, "Grant is perfect. He can act as a bodyguard while Jonas is some hotshot who wants to take his prisoner out." Grant shapes his mouth into an "O"
"But, what about the rest of us? We can't just stand in here, if they need help, we'd be too late to do anything." Bex says.
"We can go out as waitresses." Liz offers, "I studied how this hotel works, only big time people can go down there and waiters/waitresses." They all nod, it seemed like the plan will work.
"I want in." They all turn to stare at Jason. Cammie shakes her head.
"No, you're emotionally attached to her, you might cause even more ruckus, Jason. I'm sorry but you know it's true. Plus, we don't know how many enemies you made before you came to us." Cammie says tightly. Jaosn wanted to argue, to yell at her and tell her she's wrong. But she wasn't. It's a wonder why he's still alive. So instead, he nodded, clenching his teeth and balling his fists. Cammie's face softened, "I know you want to help, Blondie. But it's too dangerous."
"Wait," Macey cuts in, "Even if we did go with this plan, wouldn't they recognize our faces as the infamous Vega family?"
"Babe, this is our department. We're going to be making the masks for them." Nick says, looking down at her. She hit her head lightly in a "duh" motion.
"Alright then, some of you go get some uniforms. Liz, I want you to look at the layout again. Jonas get your gadgets. Grant, you're coming with me." Cammie looks at him.
They all had a determined gleam in their eyes and within seconds, they scattered.
Yasssssssssssssss. It's not over. Like maybe two or three more chapters? A bit of brotherly and sisterly time coming up! Happy New Year! R&R guys!
