Badlands// H.S

"Okay, untie her." The guy spoke and Michael immediately came over to you and untied the strong rope that held you to the chair. "My names Harry, this is Jason." Harry gestured to the other guy who had barely said a word since entering the room.

"Thanks." You smiled lightly at your brother as you got to your feet, you saw Harry shamelessly staring at you. "So what's the plan?" You ask.

"I like you already, feisty but to the point." Harry mumbled and smirked as you rolled your eyes. "Jason? Wanna tell them our master plan?" Harry joked which only caused you to scoff at his cockiness.

"Uh sure, basically we have information about a way out. A way to escape the Rat Run that leads to the Badlands." Jason spoke excitedly causing you to frown.

"How do you have that information though? Who told you?" You asked more confused than before.

"My grandpa, you may have heard of him. The most recent guy to get taken away by them, he told me about the way out that he'd found. However he'd never been brave enough to jump into the unknown." Harry sighed and your eyes widened, you knew about the guy he was talking about.

"No offence but your grandpa did sound like he was.. You know, off his rocker." You tried to let him down easy. "I mean come on, there's no way out of here, if it was that easy then this place would be empty." You argued back as you saw Harry's fists clench.

"He wasn't mad, he was telling the truth." Harry spoke through gritted teeth.

"Well that means that you all know too much, what if they find out? You're basically dead people walking." You shrugged and heard Michael sigh.

"I thought you said she'd shut her mouth Mike." Harry sounded extremely annoyed.

"She will, Y/N be quiet." Michael mumbled to you but you shook your head in protest.

"No! These guys just want to go galloping into the Badlands without any information on how to survive out there!" You groaned in annoyance. "That's if we even get that far before we're all taken away by them."

Just as you say that, the door opens and in runs another one of Harry's men.

"They're here! They're outside trying to get in right now! We have to go!" He yelled and all four of you followed after him as he bolted down the winding corridors. As you ran deeper into the building, you could hear the gunshots and shouts much clearer now. Knowing that they were extremely close to getting in.

You kept running until the guy led you all to what looked like a makeshift armoury, the walls were lined with a few guns and camouflage vests hung neatly on a rack.

Harry handed both you and your brother rucksacks that were already filled with food and supplies, you frowned as he made you put it on.

"Where are we going?" You asked and feared that you already knew the answer to that.

"We're pushing the schedule forward slightly and starting the plan right now!" Harry spoke loudly for everyone to hear, more and more men were flooding into the small room. It looked like you were the only girl in the whole building.

"What! We can't just go running into the Badlands! Do you have a death wish?" You shouted back.

"Come on! We're leaving!" Harry yelled as people began to file out of the room and run towards an exit, you shook your head in disbelief. "You coming?" Harry asked.
