Something feels off. Why has Lola suddenly become so anxious and uneasy. I took a glance at her and saw her check her gun.

Something's definitely up.

I know she's not the type to backstab us but I can't help but think that. No no no, she wouldn't, would she?

I shoved that thought outta my head and focused on what's ahead of us. We now stood inside the tunnel leading to the base. The only thing separating us from the base is this electric gate. "Right after this gate, there'll be a long stretch before you reach the actual site. We're in a safe zone here so there's no problem. Sector C2 is more likely at the back." Lola said as she pushed open the gate. All the alarms and systems are shutdown because of Pooter.

"I'ma take the top. I'll give you guys more freedom to move." Kris said. "Question, how many of you guys have silencers on your guns?" Lola asked. "All of us." said Omar. She nodded her head "let's move."

-----[]---[]-----

For some reason, I'm starting to get anxious and worried. I would be lying if I said wasn't scared. Not scared about who I might encounter but rather if Onika's okay. I need her to be okay. I need her.

Fuck.

"Okay move." We all separate. Kris takes the left top while Lola takes the right top. Omar takes the bottom right and Tai takes the bottom left, whereas I head on ahead.

The deeper I walked into the site, the more cautious I became. I felt the ground begin to shake and realized a truck was coming behind me. I hide behind a crate and watched as it neared.

"The longer we take to active the bomb, the shorter our lifespan becomes." I heard the engine die as two men hopped out the Jeep. "Yea. So, I'll connect one here. You head to C2." No!

I pulled out two pistols and shot them down. "Hell to the goddamn no." I got up from where I was hiding. I quickly searched them and found nothing. "Bomb bomb." I whispered to myself. I checked the Jeep and saw two duffle bags. I searched it and found the two remote controlled bombs. I snipped the wires, pulled the battery out and smashed it. "Hell to the fucking no." I walked on ahead.

The nearer I got, the more light I saw. Just when I got to the second gate, multiple fires went out. "Ahhh" I heard someone from the other side. Taylor soon emerged from the corner with two guns in his hands. "They'on have silencers so that's gon be a problem here." He said. "Is fine." I sighed and rolled down my ski-mask. Then again, multiple bullets went out from the top and someone can tumbling down. In a few minutes Kris appeared with blood dripping from his side.

"Kris!"

"I'm fine dad. Just wasn't able to block is counter attack. Plus, it's just a lil cut. I'll be fine." Taylor tied a bandage around his side. "And no. I can see the look on your face. I'll be fine and no I'm not turning around. Ian a baby." He said.

I didn't say anything and just nodded my head.

"She's still not back." Omar walked up to us from the other side with blood on him. "She's solo." Tai sighed pulling his dreads in a bun.

"Just finished shutting down the rest of the system. It's safe to go." Pooter approached us. He stayed behind for a bit.

Ok...
