(Finnick POV)
Johanna is choking back tears. I look around and see a good patch of bushes, I grab her shoulder, and quickly rush her into them, "Stay here, they have a system, stay here." She responds with a confused look. I turn and start running in Annie's assigned direction. I run as fast as I can trying not to touch anything that could give of my position. Then I see Annie her red hair long with perfect natural curls, Finn in her arms with his head buried in the blanket that keeps him safe from the thorns of the some bushes. In an instant a  net wraps around them, taking them both to the ground, Annie tightens her grip on Finn, and makes sure he's ok. My lips form her name, but no words escape. I run to her I look up to see a claw coming to take them from me, I start looking for an opening in the net, but my eyes keep tearing up. A bullet hits me in the forearm, the pain slowly being absorbed by my nerves. I look up the claw 10 feet above me. I concentrate I will not save my wife and child if I can concentrate, I look around, there's an opening in the net by her feet, I get the net off, and run I cover Annie as I run waiting for the gunshots to come, but they never do, then I remember their plan. They want me alive.
