"KEEP moving," Sandra warned Teresa, close to her side in a WICKED uniform with a black mask on and a large gun in hand.
Thomas was on Teresa's other side, the three of them walking into the building with many guarded men spread out with armed guns. Sandra kept her shoulders squared and her breathing calm while her nerves bounced around her body as they walked toward the scanners. A small breath of relief left her mouth when they passed the scanners that turned green.
Sandra moved closer to Teresa's side, grabbing her elbow as two guards passed, sending them nods with their radios chattering. A guard in a red uniform stopped before the three of them and they came to a stop, but Sandra knew it was Newt without a second thought and sent him a nod.
Newt cocked his head to the left, taking the lead and Sandra gave Teresa a small shove, making the girl walk behind Newt toward the stairs as Sandra followed behind with Thomas behind her.
As they went down the stairs, Sandra glanced over her shoulder every few seconds to make sure no one was following until they reached the next floor down, walking past a wall of windows showing the underground car garage.
With ease and going unnoticed by anyone else, Gally slipped in through the glass doors, joining the four of them while taking the lead. Thomas kept up with Sandra's side, sticking as close to her as he could without it looking suspicious as they went down another hallway.
Teresa came up to a door and the other three stopped, watching as she pressed her thumb to the keypad. After a few seconds, it turned green with a photo of her face and she pushed the door open, going in first. Sandra was close to Teresa's back as they entered the stairwell and she raised her gun, keeping the bunt of it pressed against her shoulder as she looked around with Newt and Thomas as Gally closed the door behind them.
"Go, go, go," Sandra instructed, grabbing Teresa's arm and forcing her to walk down the stairs with Thomas and Newt close behind her.
"Hold on. Hold on," Gally repeated and the three of them stopped on the stairs, turning around to see him looking at a power box on the wall. "I can get in here."
"Stay here," Sandra told Teresa, lowering her gun as she walked back up the stairs toward Gally who lifted his mask up. "Throw me the walkie."
Gally listened and threw her the walkie that she easily caught before turning back around and walking down the stairs after Thomas with their guns raised. From up above, she could hear a drill working, letting her know Gally was working on the power as she finished checking that the stairwell was clear with Thomas.
"This feels too easy," Sandra said, lifting her mask up as she walked past Thomas back up the stairs.
"It's gonna work," Thomas assured her, lifting up his own mask as he followed her.
Even with his reassurance, Sandra still felt a bad feeling in her stomach as she passed Teresa sitting on the stairs and looked over at Newt sitting on the opposite stairs leading up with Gally still working on the box.
"Sig, we're in," Sandra said into the walkie. "How you doing?"
"Yeah, I'm getting there," Frypan said from the other end of the line. "Tell Minho and Carl 'Hi,' for me."
Sandra took in a deep breath before pressing down on the side button again. "Hang in there, Sig."
Behind Sandra, Gally pulled open the door to the box and she turned around, walking over to him as did Thomas. Her face slightly fell when she saw all the different wires, but she tried her best to keep hope.
"This'll work," Gally said, looking through the wires.
Sandra nodded, moving the walkie back up to her lips and pressing the button. "Bren, what's your status?"
