Escape Plan

"C'MON, C'MON." Thomas' voice sounded down the hallway. I held onto Dora's hand, rubbing my thumb over and over.

"We will be ok." I whisper, "We are together." she gives my hand a squeeze in response, her small frame shaking slightly. Chein and Ada stood close, their eyes darting back and forth in the hallway.

"I have to go do something." Aris quickly announced.

"I can come," I responded.

"You have to get them to the door."

"Winston can go with you," Thomas interjected.

"I'll go too." Chein let out, looking towards me, sending a quick nod.

"Be safe; we'll see you guys soon." I let out before following Thomas down the hallway.

"You sure we can trust them." A boy whose name I assumed was Frypan.

Ada's face seemed to go scarlet. Her fists balled at her sides "You guys would be dead if Aris and Rosa didn't-" her sentence was interrupted, A tall woman stood in front. She stood wearing a long white lab coat, her hair pulled into a slick bun. Her face held a confused look as she glanced between all of us.

"What are all of you kids doing out?" gawking slightly at us. I glanced at Minho, whose eyes were firmly on Thomas. Instantly, the pair lunged towards the woman and grabbed onto her arms.

"Where is Teresa?" Thomas demanded.

Dora whispered, "Who's that?" I shrugged slightly in response, also wondering who this mysterious girl is we are desperately looking for.

The women led us through the seamless hallways. Different directions, yet each hall looked the same.

Bang. Bang. I threw my body towards the ground. Shots zapped past my body. A hand gripped my arm, tugging me into another hallway. I turned frantically, glancing around, Minho stood with the others, pulling me back to my feet.

Dora stared at me, slightly concerned, but there was no time to stop. We all carried on running. I glanced back at the boy who saved me, who was now running in the opposite direction toward the gunshots.

"Minho, what are you doing?" I yelled as I turned towards the direction he was running. He ran towards the man with the gun and flung his body into his, knocking the man off his feet and took the gun. He looked up slightly, holding the gun unfazed, and started running again.

The tall woman was forced to continue to lead us towards Teresa. Dora started to fall behind. I grabbed her hand, pulling her slightly as we ran.

Thomas burst into the laboratory, pushing the woman in as he entered. We all followed, the blonde boy shutting the door behind us. Thomas frantically aimed the gun at the other workers, backing them all into a corner.
