Twisted

Chapter 38: Minho?

"Shit!" Sophie screamed.

Before I could reply with a curse of my own, a thunderous boom rattled the hallway. The building shook, making me stumble into the wall. Well that explosive definitely worked! There was screaming down the hall as another explosion rocked the building. Shouts followed; then everything grew silent again. I was leaning against the wall, Sophie was picking herself up off the floor along with Newt, but he was yelling all kinds of curses he normally would have told us to stop saying.

Sophie and I glanced at each other nervously. Then I glanced at Newt. His eyes were dark and I could see his chest rising rapidly with a small growl.

"Okay, come on. Room 405..." I finally managed to get out.

I pushed off the wall, and started down the hall. We had taken a few steps when a red light started flashing and a loud alarm blared in my ears.

"Come on!" I yelled over top of the alarm.

I sprinted down the hall, trusting Sophie was behind me and that Newt had enough sense still to follow. All kinds of doctors and nurses were running out of rooms, and went yelling down the halls. The wild sirens suddenly shut off. We all skidded to a hault, the halls had gone eerily quiet all of a sudden.

"The shuck is going on?" Newt snapped, looking up and down the hall.

"Heck if I know!" I shrugged.

"Ya. You and Tommy with your brilliant plans. Just running head long into danger!"

I rounded on him, poking him in the chest, "you didn't have to come! I told you to stay with Gally! So be helpful or slim it!"

Newt ground his teeth I could see him seething, but he remained quiet.

"Come on guys! We need to find your Minho and get the hell outta here! We can argue later!" Sophie yelled.

I turned and followed her down the hall. Throwing all caution to the wind I started running and screaming.

"Minho?!"

There came the pounding of feet behind us.

"Down!" Sophie screamed.

Without hesitation I dropped to the floor. Blue electricity shot over our heads. I twisted on the ground. A group of WICKED Soilders came storming around the bend in the hall. Sophie and I raised our guns and fired. A few of them dropped in a splatter of blood. The others scrambled to a stop and backed up. In that time the three of us scrambled to our feet and took off down the hall again.

"Minho?" I screamed.

"Minho!" Newt was also screaming.

"Shit!" Sophie yelled and dove to the side, Newt tackled me and we rolled and slammed into the wall, blue electricity balls flew down the hall. I scrambled to my feet and pulled my trigger. A guard dropped with a scream. The others backed up.

"I thought the power surger thing was supposed to stop the electrical weapon" Newt yelled.

"I have no idea! Maybe these are still charged and once the charge dies then it's useless?" I yelled back as we sprinted down yet another hall.

"MINHO?! WHERE RHE SHUCK ARE YOU?!"

"You three! Don't move!"

We had rounded the corner and collided with a few guards. Without thinking my fight or flight reflexes kicked in and I pounced with a loud scream. Sophie followed. The back of my gun connected with the guys face. Making him crumple. I landed ontop of him and raised my fist and slammed it down into him. I felt a crunch. With a wild scream, I slammed the back of my gun into his face again. A dog took over, I blanked. It was only when a hand hand the back of my shirt and pulling me away did I realize what I was doing.
