"You wanna tell me what the fucking plan is, Y/n?" Lloyd quickly jogs down a hall, leaving you to follow along, "Make this easy for me and I won't kill the girl."

"Bullshit, if you were gonna kill her, she'd be dead. Besides, I have no idea what their plan is, haven't talked to Six in a while. We've both been too busy to call," you sass.

He doesn't respond, instead leading you down another hall and speaking through his earpiece, "Get me eyes on the bridge."

You hear the high pitched whiz of a rocket and quickly move behind a cement wall to avoid the explosion. Lloyd just laughs, appreciating the struggle as if it were a game. He moves out from behind the wall, shooting at the figure that shot the rocket, but not landing a hit. More explosions ensue, pushing both of you forward to avoid them.

"I seriously don't get a gun or anything?" you huff.

"So you can turn around and shoot me?" he scoffs.

"Aww, you know me so well," you mock.

"No chance, sweetheart."

He slowly walks out from behind another wall, stalking along a fence line. He watches the shadowed figure run off.

"He's trying to draw us away. Shit!" he takes off running.

You follow along, laughing as you go, "You really didn't realize that sooner?"

You both run up a staircase inside, straight to the room Fitz and Claire were in, only to find it empty. You just hum triumphantly as he speaks through his earpiece, "He's in the house."

You jog over to look out the window as Lloyd walks back to the hallway, productively using his time and resources by yelling at the corpses outside and firing a few bullets in them.

Quickly, Lloyd leads you out to one of the bridges connecting parts of the building over water. You spot Fitz, Claire and Court across from you on another bridge. Lloyd and his men fire at them before you can shout to them, but it looks like they miss, hitting the concrete of the building instead.

"You're making me destroy a historic building here!" Lloyd yells to Court before they open fire again.

You glance over the edge of the bridge behind you, seeing what's beneath you, hoping to come up with an exit strategy. You're snapped out of your thoughts as Lloyd grabs your arm, dragging you with him as he takes off running again. You're dragged along as Lloyd and his men circle around to the bridge Court is on.

You stay back to avoid being collateral killed by a stray bullet intended for someone else. You hear Claire screaming in panic and you feel your throat tighten. Everything quiets down and you hear a splash down below. Lloyd gestures with his gun, as a vague threat, for you to follow. You walk over to see Fitz laying still.

"Roll him," Lloyd commands to one of his men who obliges and rolls Fitz over.

Fitz scoffs, "Boring." He flicks the safety pin off a grenade in his hand.

"You douche," Lloyd shoves one of his men out of the way, going for you.

You, however, take the opportunity to escape. When Lloyd is close enough, you rip his gun away from him since he won't be focused on keeping ahold of it. You immediately hoist yourself up and over the side of the bridge, diving into the water below as the blast goes off and before Lloyd can get a hold of you.

You resurface to hear Claire sobbing as Court pulls her to the shore. You quickly follow after them and meet them at the shore.

Court helps pull you out of the water, handing you an earpiece in the process, "You good?"
