A Way Out

Action

- Kendras POV -

I "woke up" to two guards handcuffing me. I never fell asleep. I don't sleep anymore. I just sit in silence and try not to move because if I move it all hurts. The guards dragged me to a room and sat me down in a chair. I looked up and saw Teresa. She stared at me for a moment before speaking. 

"Kendra?" She asked. "Can you hear me?" When I didn't answer she continued, "There's a little girl here. Her name is Shai Lun. She's been infected for three weeks now. But Kendra, you're going to save her. And you can save so many others. Everything we're doing here it's working. Do you understand? That's why this is so important." 

I looked at her and said, "Whatever helps you sleep at night."

She stared at me and then finally got up but I said, "Teresa." 

She looked at me and said, "Kendra?" she slowly walked towards me and said, "Kendra?" 

I got up and slammed her face down into the table, "You bitch! Traitor! I trusted you!" I slammed her down again and the guards came inside and yelled, "Get off of her!" 

I quickly grabbed a pin on the table and yelled "Get off me! I'll kill you! You traitor! I'll kill-" I was cut off when they usedf the gun to electrocute me and I passed out on the table.

- Minhos POV - 

When Teresa finally woke up, we were all sat infront of her, arms crossed. She collected herself before saying, "Gally?" 

"Here's how this is going to go," He said,  "We're gonna ask you some questions, and you are going to tell us exactly what we need to know. We'll satrt off simple," He said, grabbing a chair, "Wheres Kendra?" 

"You guys seriously dont think-" She began, looking at Thomas, but the sound of the chair hitting the floor interupted her and Gally sat down infront of her, "Don't look at him," Gally said, crossing his arms on the back of the chair, "Why are you looking at him? Look at me. He's not gonna help you." 

I uncrossed my arms and walked forward, crouching down next to Gally and looked up at her, "I know you have Kendra in that building. Where?" I said. 

"She's with the others in holding, sublevel three." She answered. 

I nodded and stood up and crossed my arms. 

"How many others?" Newt asked. 

"28." teresa said. 

We all looked back at Brenda and she nodded, "I can make that work." 

"No. no you guys don't understand," Teresa said, "The whole level is restricted, you can't get in without a thumb print ID." 

"That's why your gonna come with us." Thomas said, walking over to Gally's other side with his arms crossed. 

"Well I don't know," I said, "We just need her thumb right?" 

I looked to Gally and he shrugged, "You're right. We don't need all of her." 

I took out my dagger and spun it in my hands. 

"Back off guys." Thomas said. 

"I guarantee she has done a lot wore to Kendra." Gally said. 

My jaw hardened and my blood began to boil at the thought of anyone touching Kendra, much less harming her. I swear when I get into that building I am going to kill every single one of those bastards. 

"That's not the plan. Back off." Thomas said, grabbing my blade. 

"It won't make a difference, do whatever you want to me," Teresa said, " You still won't get through the front door. The sensors will pick you up and-"

"We know, we're tagged," Thomas said, crouching down next to Teresa and he looked up at her while she looked down at him, "property of WCKD, you're going to help us with that too." He held up a scalpel.

After getting our tags removed and going over the plan, we took off. Gally, Thomas, Newt, and I all put on the guards outfits. Thomas, Newt, and I walked with teresa into the building. We caught up with Gally and walked into the stairwell. Gally stopped at the pannel and said, "Hold on- I can get in here." 

"Stay here, throw me the walkie." I said, and he tossed me the walkie. Newt coughed as I went down the stairs and I looked back to see Thomas with a hand on Newts back. I sighed and made sure the stairwell was clear before coming back up. 

"Frypan how ya doing?" Thomas said over the walkie. 

"Yeah- yeah I'm getting there." Fry said, "Tell Kendra, 'hi', for me." 

"Hang in there buddy." Thomas said. 

Gally got the pannel open and said, "Yeah this'll work." 

"Brenda, what's your status?" I asked into the walkie. 

"Status is, i'm working on it." She answered. 

"Copy, just make sure you're ready on your end." I said. 

"don't worry you know I'm gonna be there." Brenda said. 

We kept walking until we got to the holding area, when we entered, we attacked the guards inside. I shot one and ran through while Thomas, Gally and Newt, shot the other three and we opened the doors. I went through every holding cell and swore. 

"She's not here." I mumbled. I walked over to Teresa and grabbed her by her shirt, "Where the hell is she?" i asked.
