Retaliation of The Dragon Nation

Chapter 4

Zack couldn't help but glance at the clock every few minutes, of course he was itching to get out of this damn place. But he wasn't exactly fond of the idea of him holding off people with weapons while Aileen and Peter ran. But he also wanted to get out. But he didn't want to get hurt. But he wanted to protect Aileen, not so much Peter, but if that's what Aileen wanted, then he wanted it too. He ran his fingers through his thick and tangled hair. Zack looked over at Aileen as she and Peter rambled on about comic book characters and whatnot. Zack leaned up against a wall, how was Aileen going to manage to get Peter out of a cell? They had no keys. Whatever needed to be done, Aileen better have something up her sleeve. Zack couldn't tell if she did or not. It seemed that no matter what, Aileen always had a mischievous tint to her eyes. Zack didn't know if he liked this, or hated it. Most likely the latter. Most of the day was wasted by Peter and Aileen making comic book references and laughing their asses off. As dinner time rolled around, there was a bit of hold up. Actually, an entire thirty minutes of waiting. Aileen, Peter, and Zack exchanged looks. Employees were running in and out of the kitchen. Was... Was that smoke? Maybe. Zack looked over at Aileen, Her expression seemed to have lightened. What was she thinking? At this point Zack could hardly tell. ~~~ Aileen couldn't believe this, she wanted- no needed something like this to happen. All of this commotion, the perfect distraction! She looked at Peter, he seemed terrified. He was visibly shaking. Aileen frowned and shook his shoulder. Peter jumped and gave her the 'I'm fine, just kidding I'm lying look.' She brushed it off. Aileen stood up, short enough to not be noticed. She grabbed Peter's shoulder again and pulled him out of his chair. She glanced back at the window. "Screw the plan for later, let's just go now." She said in a hushed voice. Peter looked at her as if she had grown two other heads "So we're just going to jump out a window?!" He frowned. Zack eavesdropped a bit, pretty much knowing already what they were going to do. "Zaaaaack" Aileen tugged on Zack's sleeve, he looked down at her "Hm?" She gestured to a chair and to the window. Zach pursed his lips, glancing around them to make sure no one too important was around. "Back up." Zack commanded. Both Aileen and Peter did as commanded. Zack slammed the chair into the window, it instantly shattered into a million pieces. Almost like stars, but closer and more likely to kill. Zack shielded his eyes, he was bumped into as Aileen rushed passed him, dragging Peter with her. She almost threw the both of them out the window. Aileen didn't hesitate to jump out, she grabbed Peter by the collar right before he was just out of reach. He screamed like a manly little girl. As the landed, there was a snap,her foot definitely wasn't supposed to bend that way, but she couldn't feel it... Peter landed right on her foot. That sure caused her to scream. Peter groaned, but being unharmed, he sat up and brushed himself off. He looked up, Zack was gone.
