THE SEVEN

Chapter 8

PREVIOUSLY ON TBD: 

Just as they were about to leave the control room, the team heard footsteps approaching. Panic seized them, but they quickly hid behind the bank of computers. Enzo's voice echoed in their ears, "Losers, you have incoming. Hold your positions."

The footsteps grew louder, and the tension in the room escalated. They couldn't afford to get caught now. Their mission depended on it.

NOW

"Babe, I told you." A deep voice breathed in the air of the control room. He leaned against one of the tables where Hannah was a few seconds ago. Sarah gulped, covering her mouth to not make a sound. The four of them were hiding behind a set of computers. Han's eyebrows quirked, slowly lifting her head from the table.

"It's HIM!" Han turned to the group, mouthing the words while the three had trouble understanding her.

"What?" Jelly mouthed back.

"You need to use the bathroom?" Sarah mouthed and han shook her head in frustration.

"Babe. Just because you saw a dude kissing another dude on my phone doesn't mean I'm gay." His voice was laced with aggression, and a smack from the table followed. "I am not gay! I just happen to like men kissing, but hey! It doesn't make me gay, alright? So are we good?"

The four's mouths opened at the same time.

"Did you hear that?" Sebas mouthed.

"Duh, we have ears." Jelly rolled her eyes. "Anyway, Hannah, what were you saying?" She directed her attention to the short girl, who was failing to keep a straight face.

"It's the ginger!"

"I think she really needs to use the bathroom, guys." Sarah mentioned patting Hannah in the back to "comfort" her.

"That was not even close to what I was saying, whore!" Han whispered-yell. "Let's get this shit over with!" She pulled out a syringe from her pocket.

"WHAT!" Sebas mouthed.

"Do it; I dare you." Jelly encouraged the girl, even though she had no idea what drug was in that syringe.

"Hannah. There are better ways to handle this without violence." Sarah's sentence was cut short when Han decided to march to the guy and stabbed him with a syringe. She aggressively threw his phone to the ground and dragged his body to the group.

"OMG, IT'S THE GINGER FROM THE PARTY WE WENT TO! "Sarah's mouth dropped, examining the guy's face. Hannah rolled her eyes. She's been trying to tell them. Sarah leaned down, sighing in relief once she heard his heartbeats. "What did you inject him? "

"Ketamine."

"Why do you have that?" Jelly asked, kicking his body like a soccer ball. Sebas squinted his eyes at her behavior.

"In case of an emergency." Han shrugged. "It's always good to be prepared."

"We should hold him hostage." Sebas looked at the girls.

"Why? Are you interested in him?" Sarah wiggled her eyebrows.

"If I were gay, my last option would be choosing this man." Sebas shook his head. "Seriously, though, he might be useful. We saw him on our first mission together; who knows what type of connection he holds?"

"Right." Jelly crossed her arm, kicking his waist one last time. "I agree, I guess"

"Oh, good god," Enzo entered the room; his features were painted with worries. "I thought you guys fucked up."
