He didn't tell anyone. For all he knew, they would stop him. Instead, he packed a bag, stole a pair of keys, and was ready to go.

The car he needed was by the edge of the Safe Haven, further out. Since he was sure they had no reason to be up, he wasn't worried about Minho, Thomas, Newt, and all of them. He was sure they’d be fast asleep. As for his friends? Well, he couldn't drag them into this suicide mission. He was going to get Y/N out on his own.

As he walked over to that car a light switched on. Glancing up, he saw Harriet standing there, leaning against a table.

“Going somewhere?”She asked in a knowing voice.

“Harriet-”
“Hop in. I’m driving,”She said with no room for debate.

Not that that had ever stopped him.

“This is really dangerous. Between driving there, finding the way in, maybe Cranks, the guards, the extra security, and just everything that could go wrong, how new this stuff is, this is risky. This could kill you. One wrong move would end everything.”

“Yeah, but that's nothing new to any of us,”She pointed out.

“We don't know what we're up against, and I don't want you to get hurt.”

“Y/N, you love her, right?”

“With everything in my heart,”He answered honestly.

“Is she worth it to you? Is she worth giving your life up for?”

“Of course, but this wouldn't just be me now. This-”
“When you were with her, what did it feel like?”

“It was the most beautiful moments of my life. It was painful, but I would live it all over again. As long as the path I takes leads to her, I don't care what it is.”

“Exactly. We don't know her yet, but Y/N makes you happy, and we want our friend to be happy. That means if this girl is what it takes, we’ll help you get her back.”

“We?”

While leaning against the side she opened the car door. With the light on, it revealed Sonya in the passenger seat. Looking between their faces, he saw smug grins.

“Hey. I heard we’ve got a rescue mission?”Sonya reminded him. Looking between them, he sighed as he pulled his bag on and approached the vehicle. Going to the driver's seat, Harriet buckled up as he threw his stuff on the ground before doing the same.

“So where are we going?”She asked, knowing the answer but living for the dramatic effect.

“To the very last city. To Denver.”

“To get your girl back?”Sonya teased.

“Yeah. To get my girl back,”He nodded with full seriousness.

Miles away, Y/N sat by the window, staring out into the city. It was all she did now, waiting for him to rescue her. While she never wanted to be a damsel in distress and was still more than feisty, this was an exception. Besides, he would be waiting for her if the roles were reversed.

“I’m hanging on for you, Aris. I’m hanging on for you.”
