Khalil and Brandon exchange nervous looks. The police guards immediately run out of the prison rooms and heads for the chaos.
"So when you say reinforcements, you mean more people from the Anti-Meta Group?", Brandon asks.
"No, obviously we're not equipped to handle Freeland PD, so we had to call for help from the Militia", the leader says.
"The Militia, like the ones who attacked The Pentagon?", Khalil says.
"Affirmative", the leader says.
Khalil looks at Brandon.
"Isn't Jenn and TC on their way here, they'll run into an all out war", Khalil says.
"We have to get out and help them", Brandon says.
Suddenly the door to the prison rooms burst open and TC stands there. TC scans the room looking for Khalil and Brandon. Khalil whistles signaling him to come and get them. TC immediately runs up to their prison cell and holds up his hand, snatching the doors off the cell.
"Thank You, stranger", Khalil says.
"It's a meta", the leader yells.
Just then everyone in the prison room starts banging on their cells.
"We need to go, before they start trying to kill us", TC says.
They run out of the prison rooms. Outside, the Militia stands on one side of the concentration camp shooting at Freeland PD who stands on the other side. Khalil, Brandon and TC heads for the back entrance avoiding the chaos in the front. Suddenly Brandon stops in his tracks.
"Wait, what about the girls?", Brandon asks.
"Jenn's handling it", TC says.
"What?", Khalil asks, "She doesn't have powers, we need to go help her".
"Okay, well I'm gonna go make sure the exit is clear", TC says.
Khalil and Brandon take off towards the Women's Prison Room and TC heads for the back exit. In the women's prison room Jenn sneaks in through the side door. At the front desk a police officer sits at the desk watching the cameras. Across the room she see's Anissa and Grace pacing back and forth in their cell. Beside the desk is a baseball bat propped against the wall. Jenn sneaks over and grabs the bat. She slowly sneaks up behind the prison guard.
"Pssst", Jenn says trying to get her attention.
The second the police guard turns and looks at her, she swings the baseball bat knocking her out of the chair, unconscious. Jenn smiles looking at the bat.
"I can get used to this?", Jenn says.
Anissa and Grace walk up to the cell door.
"Oh my god Jenn, it's good to see you", Grace says.
"Yeah, grab those keys off the desk and free us", Anissa says.
Jenn grabs the keys off the desk and runs to free Anissa and Grace. When she opens the desk the two immediately pulls her into a hug.
"Okay, Okay, no time for loving, we have to go", Jenn says.
"I'm just happy you're okay", Anissa says.
Suddenly Sam from earlier, walks up to her cell door.
"Hey, can you free me too, I have a family and I need to get to them", Sam says.
"No, who are you?", Jenn asks.
"She's a new friend of ours", Anissa says.
"Oh, well friend or not she's not getting let out", Jenn says starting to head for the door.
