Involuntary Saga

by Rebershekk

When Scott and Virgil are broken, Alan's left crippled by guilt, Gordon's finally out of his depth, and John's left to spiral out of control. Injuries, dark themes and language in later parts. - Made of many small chapters so not actually as huge as it seems I promise.

'What do we do?' She turned to him and all he could think of was her when she was younger, asking him to help her hide something from her parents, turning to him to in search of an answer.

'Don't worry,' he soothed with faked confidence, stepping up to her. 'We'll get in. I promise.'

How, he didn't know, but he would get her into the building if it was the last thing he did.
