Twisted

Chapter 23: Part of the Team

Gally lead the group down the hall and stairs to the main floor and then down a few more halls to the very back of the warehouse in a small room, he pulled a key out and unlocked the door. Before he opened he turned around to face us, well to face me.

"Okay...so you know how I told you a while ago we were working on something to try get Minho out?"

I slowly nodded, narrowing my eyes, I glanced at everyone around me, all of them didn't look surprised. I was the only one out of the loop. I understood, but it still stung.

"Well, it's not just a find a way to get Minho out. It's also the start of the take down of WICKED." He continued.

"And this magic answer is behind this door?"

He nodded.

"And you called Minho dramatic. Sheesh, man, get on with it!" I threw my hands into the air. I saw a slight smirk trying to work its way onto his face.

"This is serious Pipsqueak!"

"AWWWW PIPSQUEAK!?! GUYS THAT'S SO FUCKEN' CUTE! OH MY GOSH!" Sophie gushed. She turned to the guys and, "Did you guys know about the cute nickname? Come on! Big bad Gally the grump goes all heart eyed and all mushy!"

I rolled my eyes, but my face went pink and I tried to hid the smile that tried to formed. Gally was watching me and he gave me a lopsided smirk, he looked quite proud. Magnus cleared his throat.

"Okay, ANYWAYS."

"Yeah...we have been working on this for a few month now. And we finally finished. So we need to work on the second part of the plan-"

"Are you gonna talk about it or will you finally show me?" I interrupted and rolled my eyes.

"It's a good thing I like you."

I just smiled sweetly. He finally opened the door, it swung open. I blinked. And looked back at him and then at the others, and then back into the room.

"The shuck am I looking at?"

Gally sighed dramatically, and pulled me into the room.

"We've been working on a tunnel." Zayn said, and swept his arm over to the corner.

I stepped up and looked down into the dark hole. It was about 5 feet in width and it went so far down I couldn't see the bottom. There were rungs and foot holds screwed into the concrete. It was cold.

"And this dark tunnel of doom leads where?" I asked.

Sophie sniggered.

"It goes straight down into an abandoned maintenance tunnel, and that tunnel leads to the Train tunnels, and that leads into the Last City." Zayn explained.

"Wait..." I said, holding up my hand, my brain needed to catch up with what they were saying.

"You guys found a way from the Crank city into The Last City? Into...you found a way into WICKED?" I muttered.

"No, not into WICKED, but into the city, and that's a huge step forwards, because no one else has found a way through those walls." Gally corrected.

"It was actually Magnus who came up with the idea." Sophie added, nodding towards Magnus.

"So...what's the plan from here?" I asked.

"Well, we just finished the tunnel, we have only gone once, but never made it into the city. That's what the plan is tomorrow." Zayn said, shoving his hands into his pockets.

"That's if your up for it." Gally added.

I opened my mouth to answer, but then a small spark of fear lit in my chest. Inside the walls was even closer to WICKED and Him. I bit my lip, and furrowed my eyebrows.
