The Maze Triangle x OC

Ch.20

Thomas POV

I ran trying to find Brenda. I hoped McKenna and the others would be okay.

"Brenda come on, what are you doing?"I asked worried.

She was looking through drawers for something "we gotta go!" I yelled.

"I got it!" She yelled we started leaving but stopped seeing the guards searching the rooms.
Shit.

McKennas going to be pissed at me.

Brenda started shooting them, "go go!" Brenda yelled.

WICKEDs guards started shooting back at us as we ran into a hall way I tried taking cover to not get shot. "Shit!" I yelled.

The music was still playing "come on! Hurry we're running out of time!" Brenda yells.

We were on the highest floor possible running down the stairs.

I hear them chasing after us but I didn't look back.

Brenda stopped seeing more guards coming to us.

"Here follow me!" She yelled.

She started walking getting on a pole that held some parts of the building together "come on!"

I stared at it shocked but looked at the guards which made me encourage myself to do it.

For McKenna I have to. I started walking after her the best I could

"Shit" I felt like I had said multiple times.

I almost stumbled a bit i tried keeping pace with her when I heard a voice behind me "kid don't move"  "Brenda where are we going?!" I yelled seeing that there was a guard behind me.

She started climbing "hurry the songs almost over!" She yelled.

Everything started shootings up with fire I heard an explosion making me, almost fall but I caught myself.

Luckily I was already off the poles.
I stood up looking at it in shock.
Pillars that held up most of the place collapsed making the ceiling fall with it.
"Thomas!" Brenda shouted.

I quickly jumped over trying to catch up.

We started running but the floor below us started to collapse.

Brenda and I jumped through the glass window falling.

We both held ahold of ropes that had us go down.

I grunted from the impact of landing.

The roof was about to collapse but I jumped out of the elevator quickly.

I started coughing really hard from the dust I was breathing in.

"You okay?" Brenda asks.

"Oh yeah great" I said she has her flashlight on.

The place we were just at was covered by loads of cement that would've killed us.

She looked around with her flashlight "no... no how are we gonna get back to the others??" I panicked.

"Relax" Brenda said. "We'll get back to your girlfriend soon" she said smirking.

"She will thank me for saving your ass" Brenda said she looked through her bag before handing me a flashlight.

I took it turning it on and started coughing again.
I looked at her "why are you helping us?" I asked.

"Trust me. It's not my idea. Jorge seems to think you guys are our ticket to the safe heaven" Brenda admits.

"The what?" I asked confused.

"You know, paradise" she mentioned.
"Safe from the sun, free of infection"

"Supposedly the Right Arm's been taking kids there for years." She continued while putting her bag on.

Brenda paused, "immunes, anyway."
"Do you know where that is?" I asked.
"No. But Jorge, knows a guy. Marcus. He used to smuggle kids up into the mountains." She explained before taking a pallet.

"If Jorge made it out that's where he'll be taking your friends and girlfriend" she paused.
"That girl. Does she know?" Brenda asks .

"Know what?" "That her mother is one of the owners of WICKED?" She asked me.

I shook my head no hesitantly, "i couldn't tell her." I said looking down.
"Is she okay?" She asked me. I was confused what did she mean was she okay? McKenna looks healthy and fine to me?

She's asking me a lot of questions about her "okay on what?" I asked she nodded looking away.

"You ask a lot of question.i thought you knew your girlfriend" she said shaking her head.

"Can you just come over here and help me with this?" She asked.
