Oh my god, oh my god.
No, no I killed someone.
I killed someone!

The gun is still aimed as I see the gunshot embedded in his chest and the struggle he holds before finally giving out.

I just took someone's life.
I snatched Gallys gun out of his hand and used it to kill him.
I proved myself wrong, I am a murderer.

If I look at his body any longer I'll throw up.
So I sprint out of the room as fast as possible but I feel my stomach already ready to release contents.

Except I don't think I have anything to spill out.
Gally races after me until he stops the both of us grasping my hand.

"W-we, we....we need to um-"
Oh my god I can't even talk!

"Bird." He snaps his fingers in front of me before forcing my frame to face his tilting my head up.
"Hey! Hey look at me-"

I was glued down to the spot. I was actually frozen.
"I-I killed...oh my god. O-oh my god, I-"

"Hey, hey look at me," He hushes my stutters his hands cupping my face. "He deserved to die."

"No! Oh my god, oh my god I killed someone Gally!"
I pulled that trigger!
Without even thinking.
My mind just went blank.

"Bird, please don't do that to yourself."

"I- I thought he was going to...his hands were..Oh my god!"
This time he doesn't talk, he just wraps me tightly in his arms as his hand cradles my head hushing me as he stops my body from shaking so much.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I wasn't here earlier."
He hushes me his chin planted on top of my head as I nuzzle myself into his chest.

"No, no this isn't on you."
I push myself of off him not letting him take any of this on himself.

"I should've pulled that trigger-"

"Paige, you copy?"
My radio goes off and the both of us stare at each other as Gally picks up his radio.

"I'm with her, what's up Luke?"

"I've got her, me and Graham are going to leave underground. Meet you guys out back?"

And my heart is slightly settled with ease knowing they have Avery.
But just when we were about to answer, I hear the WICKED radio going off from Philips belt that was dropped on the ground.

"They're in the med wing, three of them. Locked in the room. We're sawing through it now, need back up in case."

Three of them?
Wait, that means Minho!
Minhos with them!

Gally looks at me wide eyed realising what the in case meant.

"Holy shit they're gonna..." his words trail off and I nod along sharing his exact same thoughts.

"That's like twenty floors up Gally."
Holy shit, we need to go, like now!

"Oh my god!"

I gasp trying to keep my voice down as me and Gally stay hidden.
He had his mask on but it was more for my safety to stay hidden as we watch Dumb Dumber and Dumbest jump out the literal building.

But I couldn't hide my excitement when I see three instead of two.
Minhos back!
And I hate how giddy I am.

"Moving in!"
I hear a yell not so far as I see three guards forming together ready to shoot the three of them and instantly my happiness fades into fear.

"Gally."
I whisper tapping him aggressively and he nods along already knowing what to do.

"Stay back until it's safe."
He says it as if it's a warning.
And I should take his advice, but I don't think I will.
