(10k's pov)
"We have to get her, we have to go after her" my head was like a carousel, spinning around in circles as I frantically stumbled to my feet and watched the truck race off, leaving nothing but a cloud of dust behind to fill my lungs with chalky dryness. I shouldn't have let her go outside, or I should have at least gone with her to make sure she was okay, now she's gone and it's all my fault.
"10k calm d-" Doc started before I cut him off
"Do not tell me to calm down, don't ever tell me to calm down" I growled at him, causing his eyes to go wide "y/n's all I have. I love her, I need to go after her"
"You.... Love her?" Addy asked, tilting her head to the side.
"I-uh thought it was obvious"
"Explains why you always follow her around" Murphy chuckles
"Yeah well enough talking, we have to find her before they do God knows what to her"

(Y/n's pov)"Where did you find such a pretty little thing?"
"Was just standin there by the road, practically begging to be taken by us" I heard two men howl with laughter, but I couldn't see anything, due to the blindfold over my eyes. After throwing a huge fit in the car and almost breaking through the window to get away, one of the men that had forced me into the vehicle shoved a bottle of what looked like water into my hands and told me to "shut the fuck up". After not even a sip of water my head got dizzy and I don't remember anything after that.
As I started to come to my senses more I realized that my feet were duct taped together and my wrists had cuffs around them. I tried wriggling my hands out of them in panic when a large hand made contact with my cheek, slapping it hard and causing my to groan out in pain.
"Trying to get out, little slut?" A man with a rough, scratchy voice grumbled. He tore off the cloth that had been covering my eyes, revealing himself and the surroundings to me. The room was dark with dirty concrete walls stained with blood that I was hoping came from a Z. The only light was coming from a small window on the door to the room. The man had brownish-grey hair and a scruffy beard covering his face, but he looked young. Maybe late 30's or early 40's.
"Where the hell am I?" I spat out, earning another hard slap on the cheek.
"I asked you a question, sweetheart" he grabbed a fistful of my hair and pulled my body up so I was now sitting down on the edge of the bed "let me repeat myself. Trying to get out?"
"No no I just-uh... Panicked is all" I hesitate
"Good. Because you aren't leaving, no matter how hard you try"
"What do you want from me?"
"Just stop with all the questions Hun, you're better off not knowing" oh gosh what are they gonna do to me? Who are these people even?
The man opened a big steel door and then slammed it shut and locked it from the outside, leaving me tied up on the bed to wait for whatever was coming. He was right, I was better off not knowing and better off never knowing. I have to get out.

(10k's pov)"Fuck" we hit yet another dead end. It's been hours looking for y/n and every minute we spend looking we get more and more behind on the mission. I know Vasquez is gonna start throwing a fit if we don't find her soon and want us to leave her.
"10k, we are going to find y/n and she is going to be fine. You know how much of a badass she is" Addy patted me on the shoulder in attempt to comfort me, but I still couldn't help but worry about her.
"She will be fine, but we need to work faster. We need to get to California" Warren reminded us. We turned around and began walking back down the dirt road we had been traveling on, I had thought it would have been a good place for that big truck to go down and get away from the highway, but I guess I was wrong.
"Uh guys" Doc stopped walking and pointed towards the woods "look"
"Is that a.. Door? In the ground?"
"It's some sort of bunker" Warren chimed in "maybe she's down there"
"Well that was easy" Murphy added
"Shut up, Murphy"
"Yes ma'am"
I lifted my rifle over my shoulder and held it out in front of me, aiming at the hatch in the ground as Warren slowly opened it, being careful not to make too much noise just in case someone was down there. It held a steep staircase that went down deep into the ground and had walls smeared with blood, probably to scare people off if they tried to enter. It didn't scare me in the slightest.
I pressed my finger up to my mouth, signaling for everyone to be quiet, and then began down the stairs. Each stair got narrower and narrower as I went down, causing me to grab the wall for balance so I didn't accidentally trip and fall down the huge flight.
At the bottom of the stairs was a long hallway with 7 heavy duty doors with locks on them
"Shit" I mumble to myself and started walking down the hallway, crouching down so anyone looking out the tiny windows in the doors couldn't see I looked back at Warren and she was peaking through one of the windows at the beginning of the hallway.
"It's her" she mouthed to me, my eyes went wide. I practically crawled over to the door and peaked through the small window. Warren was right, laying there with handcuffs around her wrists was y/n. Her eyes were closed but she seemed to be awake because she was tracing patterns on her legs with her fingertips, she always does that when she's scared.
"How are we gonna get this lock off the door" Warren whispered
"I have an idea, but it's not a quiet one" I reply, reaching into my backpack.

"GO GO GO" Warren screamed at me while shooting through the smoke at any man or woman that dared to come near us. I picked up y/n's weak body and threw her over my shoulder and ran down the long hallway towards the staircase while Warren covered for me. Flames were rising up higher and higher, touching the ceiling of the bunker and swallowing the people that tried to get through them. I carried y/n up the stairs and out of the smokey room, Warren followed right behind.
"10k!" Y/n coughed out, trying to catch her breath "you guys came back for me"
"I would never leave you" I reached out and brushed the hair out of her face. She looked up at me with a look of relief and then began to thank the rest of the group. Addy wrapped her arms around her and gave her a tight hug while Doc and Vasquez gave Warren and I a pat on the back for being the ones to save her.
"Let's get back to that town before sundown okay? We can stay in that police station" I announced to the group.
"Yeah, y/n, right after you went outside we found a ton of food" Vasquez laughed out.
"Perfect, I'm starved" she giggled.
