EIGHTEEN

THE OTHER three made their way carefully through the other buildings, looking for any signs of Vance. They stumbled upon a shack with two guards on the outside.
"He's gotta be in there." Baylen told the other two as they hid behind another random shack. "No shit. How do we get in there though?" Mason asked.

Before they could speak again a loud clap of thunder sounded before rain came pouring down. "Just what we need." Sadie mumbled angrily. "It's a just a bit of rain." Baylen whispered back.
The boy slammed his back into the shack out of anger but he felt something jab into his back. "Ow! What the hell." He said, causing the other two to look at him.

He reached behind him, pulling out the gun he forgot he tucked into his waistband. "Where the hell did you get that?!" Sadie whisper yelled. "They didn't do body checks! I forgot I put it there!" He replied.

"Well let's use it for a distraction." Mason suggested. "Best idea you've had this entire time." Sadie agreed with him before they discussed the plan.

Mason walked out on his crutches, getting the attention of the guards. "Don't move!" One of them yelled as they held their guns at him. "No problem." Mason smiled back.
"We've got one boss." The other one whispered into his walkie-talkie. "Listen, I don't want harm I just want to grab my friend real quick." He spoke softly. "Yeah? Well that ain't gonna happen. Drop the crutches."

Mason gave a panicked look to Sadie and Baylen who were slowly creeping up behind them. They quickly hit one of them in the head which alerted the other one.
He turned around, pointing his gun at them, firing but missing multiple times since they kept moving around. Mason took the chance to hit him with one of his crutches.

"Let's go!" They cheered. "Okay, let's get him out before the others come find us." Sadie instructed, going to undo the chains. Once they were off they immediately entered.
Vance looked up, not being able to see who it was at first. "Vance?!" He heard Sadie shout. "Sadie?" He mumbled, coming to a realization that it was really her and he wasn't just hallucinating from the blood loss.

He suddenly could see them as they came closer. "Holy shit. What did they do to you?" Sadie's voice cracked as she spoke, going to untie him.
"Simple ole torture." He replied with a sarcastic laugh. "They cut all your hair off." Mason pointed out. "Yeah, not to happy about that but it's fine. We have bigger things to worry about. Where's Blue?" He asked, feeling his hands become free again.

"With Noah and Colby." Baylen replied, trying to untie the ropes on his legs. "Who the hell is Colby?" He asked, confused. "Some guy that's helping us. Not sure if we can trust him but he's helped us so far." Baylen explained.
   Vance didn't know how to feel about that. "Mandy's with us to." Mason added, wobbling on his crutches. "She is?!" Vance asked with surprise.

He stood up, his legs sore from sitting for so long. "Yep, Nolan held us hostage which is why we couldn't come earlier." Baylen explained again. "He told us you were dead." Sadie said, giving him a large hug.
"He needs to die." Vance mumbled, being serious. "Yeah, but we before we do that again, let me celebrate that your alive." Sadie smiled, hugging him tighter.

"Glad your semi-okay, man." Mason smiled, patting his shoulder. "Yeah dude, you had us all worried." Baylen added. "Well I'm okay now. We've gotta go before they get here." He told them, going to the door but as soon as he opened it he saw the men marching towards them. He took off running, his legs still hurting.

Unfortunately, the others were grabbed. "Not this shit again." Mason mumbled, getting bored of all this nonsense. "Don't even fight it." Sadie told them, figuring the others would help.
They were brought to a rooftop on another building. The rain water dripped down their faces and with their hands being tied they couldn't wipe the water from their eyes.
