I looked away as I heard the body hit the ground with a loud groan, then some curses and loud shuffling.
I looked up and saw Liam on the ground, a bullet through his stomach, and he looked extremely pained, but when he looked at me, his expression wasn't hateful like I thought it would be.
It was thankful.
Dylan, on the other hand, was cursing me out for being 'A selfish ass bastard!' and a 'Cowardly shitfuck!', whatever that was.
"Shit." I muttered as I looked at Liam, who was bandaging his own wound, and he looked up at me.
"I was the best choice. I'm the best medic." He shrugs "Thanks for listening to me."
I nodded halfheartedly, and looked away as men stormed the building, all in complete white.
"You're coming with us." He said and took off our chains, dragging us behind him,
He threw us rifles and I looked at mine awkwardly before sprinting the other way, the rest following us - even Liam - who was staggering slightly.
"Hey!" One of the men yelled and they tried shooting us, but we darted around a corner, and kept on running, until 5 of them came around the corner.
"Stop right there, son." He said soothingly as we held weapons to each other's chest, but he seemed totally relaxed. "I know you better than all of your friends." He said, glancing over at Kay, Abby, Dylan, and Liam with disdain, and my finger tightened on the trigger.
"You know me so well? Then you should know that I don't betray friends." I growled out and he took a step closer.
"I was up on Odysseus, of course I know you." He said, pulling off his white mask, showing Professor Barkwood's face, and I nearly shot him right there.
I turned to the right, and shot his two men on that side before Kay and Abby each shot the other two men, and he looked stunned.
"Nielsen, think. I'm your Professor. I taught you how to shoot. You wouldn't shoot a teacher." He says sternly. The five of us surrounded him, and he turned pale. "C-come on, Nielsen! And Kay, and Abby!"
"You have clearly overestimated my nobility." I said, raising an eyebrow, before surging forward and placing my gun against his forehead, and Kay surged forward as well, but Abby stayed back.
"You coward." Kay hissed and I pulled the trigger.
~-~-~-~-~
He fell to the ground with a loud thump.
"Let's go." Abby said, and we all turned and ran down the hall, navigating the halls, before finally reaching light.
I leaped through the hole in the wall first, holding my weapon up, but nobody was here. We saw a few of our search helicopters, and I looked at the rest of them.
"Anyone got a flare?" I asked tiredly, and they all shook their heads, and I sighed.
"Great." Liam muttered, hugging his stomach.
I sighed and looked up, waving my hands, and one helicopter flew down to us, checking the mountain, but it moved right past us.
"Seriously!" Dylan said indignantly, and we all rolled our eyes at the helicopter.
Finally, on the fifth pass-by, the helicopter finally lowered itself down, allowing us to climb into the back of it, and we took off quickly. Our pilot was clearly anxious to get away from the mountain
"This is Adam, we have the captured on board. Moving towards base." He said into his radio, and flew North, looking around anxiously.
"Shit." Kay muttered, and I followed her gaze to the road below, where a few armoured cars were trailing us quickly.
"Ay, Captain! Two arm-" Liam was cut off by gunshots, and I scurried over to the opening at the side of the chopper, swinging my rifle over the edge, firing randomly. I heard Liam cry out in pain, and he slumped over, half his body dangling over the edge precariously.
"Liam!" I heard Dylan and Abby cry out, but they were still trapped in their seats, and the chopper flew around randomly, Liam slid in the cabin, before finally flying out of the chopper.
"Liam!" I yelled, running over to his side, just in time to see him fall to the ground, where he lay unmoving.
"Oh god!" Dylan shouted, trying to break out of her restraint "What happened!" She cried out.
"He fell."
