Avery and Josi locked eye contact, nodding in sync. The two rushed to Griffin's side, helping him stand up slowly.

"We've got to be fast. They will check the cameras soon if they haven't already." Griffin managed to force out between his teeth that were gritted in pain. 

"Avery, don't look at what we are about to do please." Griffin pleaded.

The three began to shuffle to the door. Josi opened it cautiously, checking down both sides of the hallway before saying clear. They then shuffled out. The began to hurry down the hallway as fast as possible, which hadn't been very quick because they had to carry most of Griffin's weight along with their own. Just as they rounded the corner a guard appeared, but withing a flash he had a knife through his head and he now collapsed to the floor. Dead.

----- ayo vibes from when i broke my ankle and coach and cameron had to help me off of the field while i held onto their shoulders and hopped on one leg---------

Avery made a fake gagging noise. "That's disgusting."

Griffin crouched down slowly to retrieve the knife back from the man.

"Be careful." Avery said as Griffin continued to search the man. He collected two pistols from him, handing one to Josi.

Avery scoffed confusedly. "Shouldn't I have a weapon to protect myself with? In case something goes wrong."

Griffin stood, gently holding onto Avery's hands. "I will never ever make you hold a weapon again. That's why I'm here."

Josi rolled her eyes. "Sorry to interrupt this truly, just, beautiful minute here. But we don't have all day guys. We've got approximately a minute before we're dead."

Avery shot her a look before she went to help Griffin move again. But he simple shrugged her off. "I'm fine. Don't worry about me. We've got to go now."

Just like that an alarm sounded, ringing Avery's ears.

"They're checking the cameras. Lets get out of here." They started down the hallway, a group of 3 guards rounded the corner. The guards aimed down their sights at the three. Griffin pushed Avery to the ground and under a desk just as the shots were fired.

Griffin peeked over the desk after the first round of bullets were fired. He struck one of the guards with a bullet to the heart, crouching behind the desk right after. Josi took care of the other two as Avery buried her face into Griffin, covering her ears.

As they sat tucked behind desks Avery could hear more footsteps pounding down the hall. Griffin quickly scanned the area, noticing a vent in which he motioned for the three to go into. Josi pried it open and climbed inside, the other two followed just after.

When they reached the other side of the vent, it wasn't a pretty sight. As soon as Avery jumped out of the vent she could tell they were in for it. They were surrounded by guards and right in the center stood Nate. His gun was drawn and pointed at them.

"Now. One reason not to murder you all." Nate stared them down.

Avery looked to Griffin, who then looked at Josi and motioned his hands. Josi shifted towards Griffin, immediately, the sound of guns being cocked rattled the room. Josi quickly placed her arm over Griffin's neck, putting her gun to his forehead. "Avery, behind me now." She ordered.

What were they doing?

"Step any closer and I'll shoot him." She warned, Nate replied with a laugh.

"Oh, now why do I care if you shoot your bestfriend?"

Avery watched as Griffin moved his hand towards his hat, grabbing it. Gently he began to take it off, revealing his face that Avery couldn't even see because Josi was in the way.
