Mission Impossible

Chapter 24: Caught In A Snare

DAZYA'S P.O.V

"Dazya.." I opened my eyes slowly to see Thomas standing over me.

"Thomas," I sat up, "Where are we?"

"Were at S.T.A.C.K Dazya. You fell asleep on our way here." I looked around and got up.

"How long have we been traveling?"

"I'll say about 4 days.."

"4 days? It only took us 6 hours before.."

"We were overheating, had to slow it down a bit

"How long have we been here?"

"About half an hour.." That put me at alert.

"Half an hour?!? Thomas!" Thomas covered my mouth.

"Shh! They'll here us!" he whispered. I pushed his hand away.

"Them," I whispered, "What do you mean by them!?!" Thomas grabbed my hand and pulled me to the pod door window.

"As in them!" I looked out to see 4 guards standing around the pod.

"THEY KNOW WERE-" Thomas put his hand over my mouth and pulled me down.

"You have to keep it down Dazya or you'll get us killed!" I pushed his hand away.

"Does it matter? They already know were here!"

"They don't know anything! When we arrived, I put our pod in camouflage mode which hid our room and only showed the computer station. They're waiting for another group to come so they can scope out the pod."

"Great, that's just great," I walked over and sat on my bed, "Now how are we going to get out of here?!?"

"Well," Thomas cam over to me, "I actually don't know..."

"Oh that's just peachy! Tops everything off!" I laid back on my bed. Thomas sat next to me and rubbed my knee.

"I'm sorry Dazya..." Just then the pod door slid open. I sat up and looked at Thomas.

"Did you hear that?" Thomas nodded his head and grabbed my wrist.

"Under the bed," he whispered, "NOW!" We both went to a bed and crawled under it just as the guards walked in. I looked up and began to count the pairs of feet and looked over at Thomas.

"How many are there?" He mouthed. I held up 6 fingers. Thomas shook his head.

"Why didn't we see this room before?" asked one of the guards.

"Maybe you didn't look hard enough?" answered another.

"How can you miss a room idiot?"

"Hey shh!.. you here that?," I quickly looked at Thomas, "I hear.. breathing.."

"Oh C'mon dude! We are all-"

"No! This breathing sounds... stifled..uncomfortable.."

"Have you lost it?" the guard began to shift towards my bed.

"It's coming from under here.." I looked at Thomas. He held up his hand and told me to be quiet.

"C'mon dude! You've lost your marbles!" The guard began to grab the bed and lift it. Thomas reached in his pocket and pulled out his phone. He tossed it across the room just as the alarm went off. The guard dropped the bed and looked over to the sound. All the guards walked over towards the phone. Thomas motioned me to scoot over to his bed. I scrambled over and grabbed his hand.
