The Rebels

the plan commences

"You guys know that plan, right?"

"What plan?"

I stared blankly at Sam.

"You have got to be kidding," groaned Sam.

"We have a plan?" I asked.

"You're serious?", sighed Veronica.

"What's the plan?" I asked, panicking a little.

"Let's just go," said Melissa.

"Is no one going to tell me the plan!?"

We were in the bushes in front of a huge building. Two bulky armed guards were in front of the sliding doors. About a dozen were patrolling around the building. We were squatting down in a circle.

"Sam, Sidra and Veronica create a distraction. You, Alex and Harry get Nicole. Me, Melissa and Sadie take care of our getaway. Is that really so hard?" said Katie, exasperated.

"It wouldn't be if someone had told me before," I retorted.

"Right, you went to get the healing balm or something," said Melissa, snapping her fingers.

"Oh," said everyone I nodded and rolled my eyes.

"What distraction are you planning?" asked Alex.

"We have something in mind," smirked Sam, patting a huge black duffel bag.

"It's a shame we can't hang around to see," grinned Harry.

"Remind me again why this guy is here. He can barely walk," said Alex, his lip curled.

"Because he knows where Nicole is," said Sadie simply.

"Okay, you guys ready?" asked Sam. We all nodded.

"Wait," said Melissa, raising her hands, her eyes wide.

"What?" we all asked, worried.

"I just realized I want a chocolate milk," she whispered.

"I will feed you to the sharks, shut up," snapped Veronica, close to popping Melissa's head off.

"I'd like to see you try," retorted Melissa.

"Children, please," Katie whispered harshly, glaring at them.

"Just go," sighed Sam, knowing that we all were going to die. I silently agreed.

Sam, Sidra and Veronica scurried away to the further side of a parking lot. We didn't stop to see what they were doing. Harry, Alex and I ran to one side of the building. I peeped around the edge just in time to see the two guards run toward the parking lot. I could hear music blaring from there along with whoops and cheers.

Harry and I grinned at each other before half running and half crawling next to the front door. I held out one hand to stop the others and pointed at a camera pointing away from us. Harry laced his hands together and held them palm out for me to climb on. I put my foot on it and he boosted me up. Taking a dagger from my pocket, I cut the wire and hoped that the person in the security room was eating a burger and not noticing a camera go haywire.

The three of us stepped in front of the door and noticed a digital lock.

"Any guesses?" I asked.

"one, two, three, four?" offered Harry.

"Something tells me that the government won't keep the password one, two, three, four," said Alex sarcastically.

I was about to type in a random combination when the door slid open. The three of us inhaled sharply when we saw a person in a blue suit stare it us, his arms crossed and his eyes narrowed as if he knew we were there all along. I gripped my dagger hard and in turn Harry gripped my hand to prevent me from stabbing the dude into oblivion.
