Rose on Fire

Chapter 40

Gale POV)
My energy is drained, there are sores all over me from trying to escape the net with no success. Guards come over, and tell me to move, one guard puts a gun to my head so I won't try to fight them. I'm lead to an a jail cell, with two chairs. I sit in one, the guards lock the door, and leave me to swim in my thoughts, I worry of what comes next. What they will ask, and how they will get the answer out of me. I get uncomfortable after a few minutes, and start to look around, I see another person a few jail cells away from me, Beetee, he looks fine, I notice him coming back to consciousness. I see someone coming toward me. They open the door, and close it, making sure not to lock themselves in, but I already have a plan set. I can't tell who they are because of the uniforms mask. They sit in the opposite chair, and start to talk, by the voice I can tell its a girl, and something's familiar about it. She  glances at a security camera, then faces her back to it, "Finnick's been shot to bad to leave, and Beetee pulled a tendon in his leg when trying to get away, your the only one who can get away, and I'm going to help you," she rushes. "Okay, what's your plan," I ask calmly. "There's a door to the left, and an emergency rope ladder next to it we climb down, then run," she says with a nervous tone. "Ready," she asks. "Umm....," I respond hesitantly. "K, let's go," she says with a trace of excitement. She throws the door open, and we both run down the short hall before reaching the door. She opens it quickly, the wind blows in quickly, and I notice it's pitch black outside. The hovercrafts engine gets louder, and the girl throws off her helmet, and chucks one end of the rope ladder out the door, I grab one of the sides of the top end of the ladder then tie it to the metal loops that are made for it. I almost throw her off the hovercraft while trying to get her go first. I know who she is, she's the girl with the half shaven head, with the vines tattooed to her head. Cressida.
