The Secret Life of Lisa Johnson

Escape

Alex grabbed Lisa's hand and pulled her out the door. Lisa had no idea what was going on. Evacuation could mean a bunch of different things: Agent Zero was trying to save her, the base was under attack, or anything else.

Alex pulled Lisa down the hall behind him, but when she suddenly pulled her hand away he stopped.

"What are you doing?" Asked Alex.
Lisa didn't completely know. "If we are actually evacuating, I need to find my brother Mark."

"Please, Lisa! We don't have much time!" Replied Alex.

"I know. That's why I need to find him." Said Lisa.

Lisa took off running down the hallway. Alex rushed after her.

After running through crowds of people with the siren wailing, Lisa was getting tired. She started slowing down into a jog. Alex came up beside her.

"How do you know Mark is even here?" asked Alex.

Lisa paused. She didn't know that he was even here. Alex was right.

"... I don't." Lisa admitted.

"We've been running through the halls with no sign of him. Can we just get out?" asked Alex even more hurriedly.

Lisa thought. If Mark wasn't here, they should get out.

"Fine." answered Lisa.

Alex quickly lead them down a couple hallways. They reached a door and Alex opened it. Lisa had no idea what would be in the other side of the door, but because it was an evacuation, she expected it to lead outside. Instead, Alex lead them into a smaller enclosed room with no windows.

" What are we doing in here? I thought it was an evacuation." Said Lisa.

It is  but only people who are worth something to Mckenzie are actually aloud to evacuate with the first wave of people." Alex replied.

"Oh. I thought it was everyone. I guess they would probably be looking for me then." Said Lisa.

"What? No. They won't.  They'll know you're with me and they trust me, for the most part. And-"

Before Alex could say anything else, there was a loud noise behind them.

"Please just trust me!" Pleaded Alex.

"Fine. Fine. What happens next?" Lisa asked getting flustered.

"We wait behind that door right there." Alex replied pulling Lisa to another door.

"W-" started Lisa, but she never got to finish because at that very moment, the noise they heard earlier was louder. But this time, it violently shook the walls.

Dust rained on Alex and Lisa from the ceiling.

When the dust cleared a bit, that's when Lisa noticed the small cracks forming in the walls.

Lisa's eyes grew wide.

"Alex the ceiling is going to cave in!" Lisa announced.

Alex looked around with a wild look in his eyes. It was a look Lisa knew, but she didn't know where it was from.

"Alex?..." Said Lisa quieter this time.

Right at that moment, another blow came and dust rained down harder. The cracks in the wall grew wider.

And without warning, Alex turned to Lisa and kissed her. Right as Alex pulled away, with a sorry look in his eyes, the Celine's came crumbling down.

Lisa, stunned, couldn't think of what to say to get Alex out if the way of the piece that was just about to fall on him, so she quickly jumped and pushed him out of the way.

Suddenly, something heavy hit Lisa and she went swirling into the dark.
