'Chapter Six: E Pluribus Unum'

'Eyes opened'

Me, Dustin and Steve turn to each other with horror. "The gate." We announce as I continue to stare. Before I know it I'm being dragged down the stairs by Steve. "I don't understand you've seen this before?" Robin questions as we quickly run down the stairs.

"Not exactly." Steve pants as Yura turns her head slightly looking at him funny. "Then what do you mean Steve, enlighten us." She says sarcastically while holding Joey's hand. "All you need to know us it's really bad." I inform as we walk into the comms room.

"Um, Steve? Wheres your Russian friend?" Erica questions looking towards the floor. We look towards the floor and see him gone. Well this can't get any better.

The alarm starts blaring. Great.

Steve runs towards the door as Joey switches hands. She grabs ahold on to mine tightly as she trembles. Steve closes the door in a hurry and looks at us. "Go, go, go, go!" He shouts. Yura runs ahead first as we follow behind her quickly.

We open door after door running in fear, until we come to a halt. We hear office chairs squeal. Shit. "Go! Shit!" He yells with the Russian guards chasing behind us. We fly down the stairs as Dustin takes the lead, pushing passes the Russians.

We run towards the beam and my heart stops. There's no way in hell I'm running through that. We stare at it for a minute as Dustin stands there freaking out. "Guards!" Erica screams. "This way!" Steve yells leading us. Joey starts panicking as I feel her hand gripping me tighter.

As we run down the stairs, Steve throws barrels of god knows what I'm the direction of the Russians who are chasing us. "If I die, I'm haunting you all!" Yura screams as we make our way into a room. Steve holds it shut as the Russians try to open the door.

I latch joey onto Yura's hand as I go to help Steve with the door. Erica opens the vent. "Come on!" Dustin yells waving his hand for us to come. Erica climbs through the vent as Yura pushes Joey down next. "I'll never forget you Julie!" She screams before climbing down.

Well even if I do die on here, at least Yura can looo after Kyle. Finally Joey will be able to see the day and night. I smile for her as Robin helps us with the door. "Just get out of here!" Steve yells as Dustin hesitates, before jumping into the vent. "Go!" We yell In unison, struggling to hold the door. "I won't forget you!" He yells

"Shut up! Henderson!" I yell in annoyance as he closes the vent. The door swings open, swinging us to the side. I grab onto Steve's hand as we lift our hands in the air. My heart is racing as they point guns at us. "Well shit." I grit out quietly.
