~Corey's POV~

After hours of mapping everything out we all get dressed and ready for the day that'll hopefully lead to our freedom

I look down down the bracelet Joey gave me, smiling as I lift my wrist up to kiss the evil eye pendant

"You ready to do this?"

Billy says breaking me out of my trance as I look over to him and nod

"Ready as I'll ever be"

I say as I look over at him, pulling on the hem of my striped crop top

"Then let's do this for Joey"

He says as I nod, walking over to Joey's notebook and tearing out the note he wrote to me as I fold it and put it in my back pocket

After making sure everything is in order we leave the dorm and gather in the cafeteria for breakfast

Ricky, Snuffy, Hank, Billy, and myself walk around to different lunch tables giving everyone a basic rundown before telling them to relax and try to act natural

I walk over to Yogurt and Ted leaning down between them as they sit and eat

"The next guy comes out of the bathroom, you two go, all right? Billy will meet you in there"

I say as I grip Ted's shoulder and walk away going over to a table with Hank and Snuffy as Ricky continues to walk around as Billy starts to walk into the bathroom after Yogurt and Ted

"God I hope this works. I trust Billy knows what he's doing but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous"

I say as Hank and Snuffy look over at me

"He's got this. As long as we go along with the plan step by step, we won't have any issues"

Hank says as I nod while Snuffy checks his watch waiting for the right time to do his part of the plan while Billy and Yogurt break into the Headmaster's office through an air duct to replace the plane and the detonator chip

Like clockwork Snuffy grabs his chest and starts gasping for air as part of his role

He pushes some stuff around before hunching over and falling to the ground of the cafeteria

People surrounding him including Cali's men and Headmaster Gould. Hank and I stand back and exchange glances with Ricky

I check my watch and look over at Hank

"Holy shit, this is actually working"

I say quietly as Hank slaps and rubs my back as we look down at Snuffy giving and all star acting performance that has now drawn Cali away from the Headmaster's office just like Billy said

After about 8 or 9 minutes of Snuffy going in with this act he's given his inhaler and he goes back to being fine as if nothing happened

Cali walks away from the cafeteria with the American after hearing some sort of boom from outside

Meanwhile in the Cafeteria everything else seems to be going as planned, that is until I notice Ted walking out of the bathroom without Billy or Yogurt

I watch Ted whispers to Ricky before walking away and sitting down, Ricky looks around for a few minutes before walking to the bathroom

After about 2 minutes Ricky, Billy, and Yogurt walk out of the bathroom unscathed

Ricky walks over to us and sits down as he explains that a guard walked into the bathroom but he's taken care of it

I smile and nod as Billy walks into the kitchen so he can clean pots and pans, a punishment he received a few days ago for sneaking into the basement

A guard walks into the kitchen with Billy leaving just one to watch over everyone else in the Cafeteria

After a couple minutes Hank suddenly hops up from behind the guard and pulls him to the ground, slamming his head against the floor and rendering him unconscious

Billy walks in seconds later as he jumps onto one of the tables

"Come on, let's go, everybody in the kitchen! Move! Move!"

He screams as everyone starts to run to the kitchen, stepping over the guard that's now passed out

"Come on! Come on! Move!"

Billy instructs as everyone keeps running

In the kitchen Hanks leads everyone to the basement hangout that nobody expect our crew and Dean Parker know about

Everyone starts running down there with the help of myself, Hank, Ricky, and Snuffy

After everyone is downstairs except Billy who shuts the door and leaves us all downstairs so he can continue helping upstairs

I walk around and help shush everyone with Hank and Ricky, trying to keep everyone quiet so Billy and the U.S. Army can save everyone from this

"God I really hope Billy's ok"

I say in a low whisper tone as I look over at Ricky who pats on my shoulder and rubs my back

"He will be, we just gotta stay quiet and wait for it to all be over"

After being downstairs for about 15 to 20 minutes we hear some movement upstairs as the door opens revealing an Army Soldier

"Come on out kids, it's all over"

He says as I look at Ricky, Snuffy, and Hank as we engulf one another in a group hug before making our way upstairs and outside where we see the remaining men of Cali's gang get arrested whereas most of them leave in a body bag including Cali and the American

Ricky, Snuffy, Hank and I all look around for Billy hoping to god that he's ok

"Hey, have you guys seen Billy?"

Ricky ask a few people as we all look around nervous because what if he was killed before Cali could be stopped

What if he died just like Joey?

I think to myself before we hear a familiar voice

"Hey, Hey"

Billy says running towards us as we smile and run towards him, we engulf him in a tight hug as Yogurt and Ted soon join as well

"Oh my god we did it! Billy you fucking did it"

I say as he hugs me and smiles as everyone else laughs and hugs each other

After a few minutes Dean Parker who has bandages on his arm and shoulder walks over to us smiling

He hugs us all and pats on Billy's shoulder as he looks at us

"I'm really proud of all of you. You did what most people wouldn't ever dare to do, that takes bravery"

He says as we smile and rejoice before Dean Parker starts to talk again

"Now I've gotta tell you something. I need all 7 of you to report to the hospital"

He says as we look at him confused

"Why?"

I ask looking at him and crossing my arms

"I wanted to wait to tell you this until after you were saved and well you're saved so here we go. Mr. Trotta is at the Hospital in a coma"

"Joey's alive"

I say as I feel my eyes swell up with tears as I look over at Billy who is smiling

"You can take my car, I'm gonna go in an ambulance and get myself checked out"

Dean Parker says as he tosses the keys to Billy and walks away

"Well what are we waiting for? Come on"

Ricky says as we all start running towards the parking lot to see Joey
