They were more than shaken up. They were all essentially frozen as Aris stayed at the wheel, driving straight ahead.

Cranks. They actually went through a dark Crank tunnel. They had driven over them as others banged on the windows, cracking them. Sonya and Harriet were shouting for him to go, and he just floored it the hell out of there.

"So how long until we get there?"Sonya mumbled, slowly snapping out of it.

"Ten minutes,"He answered. Nodding her head, she just went back to staring out the window. After all, what else was there to do?

They didn't talk as they kept going on the open road. They just kept their hope that the rest of the mission would somewhat go off without a hitch.

It would not, and they knew that, but delusions are comforting.

"We've got three of them coming up,"a guard said from just outside of Y/N's cell. With her attention being caught like a fish in a net, she slowly approached the door, putting her ear to it.

"Do we know which ones?"

"Harriet, Sonya, and the subject that just got broken out. What was his name?"

"Aris. His name is Aris. It has to be Aris,"Y/N kept telling herself.

"Aris,"the other one finished.

"Yeah, yeah. Aris."

Putting her mouth to her hand, she held back tears as it set in. He was here. Just like he promised, he didn't leave her. He had come back for her the way she would for him.

Her Aris is here.

"We've to help take care of them. Come on."

Oh shit.

Her Aris is here, just miles away from the captures.

From said miles away the trio was shoving through people. Keeping their heads high, they showed no fear or intimidation as people shouted and pushed and held signs. They just kept simly finding their way past, making sure they were somewhat together.

"How are we supposed to get in?!"Sonya yelled over the crowd.

"We'll figure it out when we get there!"Aris yelled back.

Just then, Harriet was tripped by someone. Spotting her, Aris helped her over to the side with him as Sonya made sure she was still by them.

That didn't make it normal though. Not at all.

With the crowd parting, the three kept a hold on each other's arms to not be separated, making sure to stay back as they did.

It was also a good thing as a large truck holding people in masks and guns passed by. With one of them having familiar black hair in its usual two braids, they all couldn't help but think that they knew her. As if it was an old friend for lack of a better word.

They couldn't see her face though, and they knew it was ridiculous. They had all watched Aris shoot Beth when she was aiming for Rachel. They watched her slump to the ground and stop breathing. She couldn't possibly be here.

Apparently, that was the least of their worries.

Spotting their targets, WCKD had their bombs set up, aimed directly at the three teens. Deciding losing some rebels was an alright price to pay to take them out, they gave no warning as they pressed the button.

Before anyone could blink there were shots fired by them, the dirt flying up in the air and turning into debris. Putting together the pieces, they all kept their grip on each other as they went the other way, sure there was a different way in. With dust clouding their vision, they squinted until Sonya noticed a small backway, going somewhere unknown. Still, it had to be better than here.
