"How much longer will this take?" Monama whined.

"If you weren't so dang slow, we'd be done already." Intelli was short with him. "And I'm doing two or three things at once, stop complaining."

"Are those footsteps getting closer?" Medea asked, as they kept hearing rushing, no doubt Creepy Guy had a few helpers as he was looking around for them.

"I don't think so." Camie coughed a little. 

They'd already had to fake out one person who came in for some kind of test, they'd sent them off though with a little help from Intelli.

"Okay, I'm seeing a lot of the data now," Intelli said. "Lots of files...you're going to want to download some things onto one of your phones, I can't access them from here. But we're looking for anything that sounds like it might have to do with special cases...it might not be available, but any unusual thing in the records."

"We have no idea what to look for there." Monama said frantically.

"I know," Intelli was rude. "But you can try...Just keep downloading."

"Good thing I had my charging cord on me," Camie said.

"Why did you have it on you? This was a mission," Bakugo said.

"Bro, you never know when you might get a chance to charge your phone." Camie shrugged. "Not all of us have a Kaminari."

A few more nervewracking minutes dragged by before Intelli said, "Okay, that's enough. I have to sort through this, that'll take hours...but you can log off...and destroy the computers for a good measure."

"But...wait, what if someone needs this info?" Camie said. "You know, for a real medical reason."

"This is a war!" Intelli said. "Why should it matter?"

"It's fine, Camie," Medea said. "They'll have other places with the info in here, duh, we're just destroy the ones with evidence of us tampering."

"Oh, right, gotcha." Camie said.

Bakugo took way too much pleasure in blowing all of it the frick up.

"You scare me," Medea commented. "Do you like blowing s--- up?"

"Who doesn't?" Bakugo said.

"Boys are so weird." Medea sighed.

"But funny," Camie brushed dust off herself. "You think that might be toxic? Blowing this stuff up."

"Let's get out of here and not find out." Monama said.

Not a minute too soon, they heard footsteps heading back their way.

They dashed out of the hospital. Some kind of alarm went off.

"What? Did they figure out it was us?" Camie said.

"I believe that may be the fire alarm," Monama said.

It was.

"Well, great," Bakugo sniffed. "Let's get away from this dump." They ran off back the way they came, but of course, four kids running away looked a little suspicious. People started looking at them funny and it didn't help that sirens were now blaring.

It didn't take more than a few minutes of running for some of the Metas to figure it might be them causing the problem.

A bunch of them rushed out to block their way.

"Hey, where do you think you're going?" One guy with a baseball bat of all things said.

"Jogging?" Camie suggested. "Where you going?"
