Dom, Erica, and Alex stood at the end of the road and stared at the base.

"You want us to break in?" Dom asked, making sure he heard Alex's plan correctly.

"Are you deaf?" Alex said. "I said we wait until the right time when all of the guards are outside," she explained. "Well distract them with something, like a rock or whatever,"

"Or this nerd." Erica said I under her breath, glaring at Dom out of the corner of her eye.

Alex stopped speaking and looked at Erica with a bright expression. "That's a really good idea!" She nodded.

"Ha! Yea! Good one!" Dom nervously laughed.

"Don't worry, we're not going to let you die or anything like that." Alex reassured him.

Dom's expression quickly fell and his face went pale. "Oh, shit, you're not kidding." He realized.

"You're gonna be fine." Said Alex. She put a comforting hand on Dom's shoulder, which didn't calm him at all.

Dom vigorously shook his head. "Mh-mnh." He hummed. "Not a single chance."

Alex sighed and shook her head. "Do you want them to die?" She asked.

"No, Alex! I don't! And if I'm being honest with you, I don't want to die either!" He yelled, loud enough to the point where it looked like some guards heard something.

"Oh, my God." Alex whispered. Her eyebrows raised and her crystal blue eyes glittered. "This is the only time I will ever say this in my entire life, but, Dom, you're a genius."

"I am?"

"For right now, yes." She nodded. "Follow me." She said, directing her head to some forest on the side of the road. She looked once more to the base just to make sure no soldiers saw the three.

She jogged into the woods as the other two followed. "How is this going to do anything?" Dom asked.

"Just wait." Alex said. "Ready?" She turned around to look a Erica and Dom.

"For what?" Dom furrowed his eyebrows.

Alex didn't answer. She just turned around. She deeply inhaled and couped her hands around her mouth. "HEY, RUSSIANS!" She yelled, her voice echoing throughout the area. "COME AND GET US! WE'RE IN THE WOODS!"

"Alex!" Dom snarled. "What are you doing?" He quickly jerked his head to see that soldiers were hurrying into the woods with guns in their hands.

"C'mon!" She darted out of the woods.

"What is wrong with you?" Dom asked as he quickly followed.

"You'll see!"

"I'm kind of on Dom's side, right now!" Erica said. "Are you trying to kill us?"

"No!" Alex repented. "I'm distracting all of them!"

"You know there's Russians inside of the building too, right?"

Alex stopped in her tracks, now realizing that her idea was pretty useless as well.

"Oh, shit." She whispered. "What do we do now?"
