The bowstring creaked softly as Bea pulled it taut, her muscles tense with concentration.
She released the arrow with a soft thwack, watching as it sliced through the air towards the guards stationed nearby. The poisoned arrow tip gleamed in the dim light of the night.
Thèrèse watched as the guards crumbled to the ground, the tranquilizing drug in the arrow's tip kicking in swiftly.
"Good shot," she whispered, a hint of admiration in her voice.
Aris nodded, his gaze darting around the area for any other signs of danger. "Let's move," he whispered, pulling Bea along.
The four of them moved silently through the darkened alleyways, keeping a low profile and avoiding any potential dangers.
They spotted a group of WCKD soldiers ahead and ducked behind a nearby building to avoid being seen.
Bea peeked around the corner, taking note of the soldiers' positions. "There's three of them," she whispered. "One stationed at the entrance, and two patrolling the perimeter."
Thèrèse nodded, her mind already calculating their options.
"We need a distraction," she said, a glint of determination in her eyes. "Something to draw their attention away from us."
"No need for a distraction," Bea said, her hand reaching for her bow. "I can take them out from here."
Before anyone could object, she nocked an arrow and took aim, her eyes locking onto the nearest guard.
With a quiet exhale, she released the arrow, watching as it soared through the air and struck the guard in the leg. The tranquilizing drug did its work, knocking him out cold.
The others watched in awe as Bea took down one guard after another with precision and finesse. Thèrèse was impressed, while Aris looked a bit taken aback by her skill.
"Wow," he said under his breath. "She's good."
Bea's sharp eyes scanned the area, her gaze fixed on a guard standing further down the alleyway. He was stationed at the entrance of a building, his back facing them.
"I got him," she whispered, taking aim.
She released the arrow, watching as it sliced through the air and found its target in the guard's shoulder.
The tranquilizing drug took effect, and he slumped to the ground unconscious.
Aris let out a low whistle. "I would not want to get on her bad side," he said, a hint of admiration in his voice.
Teresa, spoke up suddenly.
"We need to find a control room," she said, her voice low and urgent. "WCKD has their main headquarters nearby. There will be a security room there that controls all their surveillance and security systems."
