We quickly catch up to the others as Brenda leads us up the familiar flight of stairs that leads to Jorge’s office.
“Brenda! Hurry! We don’t have much time!” Jorge calls out as he rushes over to us, a large sack slung over his shoulder.
“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!” He yells out with panic underlying his voice. We all quickly run behind him. I notice something suddenly, the sound of music playing. Who’s playing a song right now?
“Right this way.” Jorge stops in front of two large windows and pushes them open to reveal a metal rope strung across this building and the next.
“Oh, you gotta be kidding me,” Frypan mumbles from next to me as we all examine the zip line with wide eyes.
“Plan B, Hermano,” Jorge says as he pulls on a few loops of rope, testing their strength.
“You kids wanna get to the Right Arm? I’ll lead you to them. But you’re gonna owe me,” Jorge says, looking specifically at Thomas.
I furrow my eyebrows lightly. I thought he said the Right Arm is a myth? Without a further word, Jorge grabs onto one of the loops of rope.
“Follow me!” He yells out as he zips out of the building and across to the building on the other side.
“All right! Let’s go!” Brenda yells at us as she pulls down more loops of rope. We stare at her in shock for a moment before Thomas runs into action.
“Everyone, go!” Thomas calls as Minho rushes forward and grabs onto the rope, zipping out of the building followed by Aris and Frypan.
Newt goes next and Thomas is helping Tessy when I notice Brenda standing off to the side. She looks at the ground for a moment before running off. Making a split second decision that was probably very stupid, I run after her.
“Brenda, Cassie, where are you going?” I hear Thomas call after us.
“Cassie, go back!” Brenda yells at me with an annoyed tone as she stumbles into Jorge’s office.
“What are you doing? The WICKED guards are almost here. You’re going to get yourself caught or killed,” I scold back at her as she rummages frantically around Jorge’s desk drawers.
She opens another one and I spot a silver locket inside. She quickly grabs it and shoves it into her pocket as Thomas comes barreling into the room.
“What are you doing? We gotta go!” Thomas says as he grabs my arm and proceeds to drag me out, followed by Brenda.
We stumble to a halt by the doorway as we notice the guards that are searching the hall literally feet away from us.
Thomas and I stumble backwards as Brenda pushes in front of us and starts to fire shots at the guards.
