Problems (Sequel To Bad Blood)

Chaotic Life

I sat on a chair in the bunker, as we listened to Calum tell us what he's learned. I was a bit zoned out. Luke's healed completely, but he's completely devistated. He knows Cayla's dead, bit no one's told him who truly ended her life. He doesn't even know Calum was there that night... he wasn't here today, neither was Will, Harry, or Sarah. They were staying with Luke to make sure he didn't do something insane. We really had to end this all now... before the baby comes... theres only 2 more months.
"This is where they keep all of their information, missile launch codes, everything. It's their 4th and final base," Calum said as I finally tuned back into the conversation.
"How much of it do you think you'd be able to steal so we can destroy it?" Brendon asked.
"The security in that building is crazy... they don't even let me near the place..." suddenly, I had an idea.
"We don't need to get any of it out..." I said.
"What are you talking about, we have to destroy their resources before they completely devastate the world," Robbie said.
"Yes, but we don't need to get any of it out..."
"Well how do you plan on getting in, like I said, the security is crazy. Most of the guards are set at the building," Calum argued.
"Well like you said, it's the 4th base... we just need a distraction... 3 distractions, actually."
"What that hell are you talking about."
"Here's what we have to do. 3 groups attacking the other 3 bases. When they realize they're being attacked, they'll send in reinforcements, most likelyfrom their building with more guards... the guards clear out enough for a few of us to sneak in, set the place on fire. Destroying everything that they have..."
"That's psychotic..." Dylan said. "I love it."
"It's brilliant. We need to work out the details, but it's brilliant. I'll call Will and tell him to inform the others of the plan." If he tells Will, we're ruined...
"Maybe... maybe we shouldn't tell them the exact plan... Luke may be a but unstable still... and he'll be able to tell if everyone's hiding something from him, so if the 3 of them just think that we're attacking the 3 buildings, they may be more helpful, but if they find out about the information center... I dont know, I just have a bad feeling about it. We shouldn't tell them." Please buy that excuse...
"Well, it is your plan... you're in charge. Set it all up." I smiled, knowing it really could work.

"No. No way. I'm not letting you set a building on fire. You're 7 months pregnant!" Thomas said sitting next to me. I was 7 months, but I was incredibly small for 7 months pregnant.
"It's either this or being shot at with the rest of you. And this way, the 4 that don't know the whole plan don't suspect anything. If the pregnant chick, and her doctor stay behind they wont question it. I'll be fine. I promise."
"How do you know? What if something goes wrong?"
"Grant will be with me to help me."
"I'm not going to let anything happen to her dude. If anything does, you can shoot me," he said, packing up his backpack.
"Well, why am I not going with you?"
"I need you to watch over Dylan..." the truth is, I needed him to keep an eye on Will.
"I think your brother is a big boy... he'd be just fine. Plus he has Will."
"You're going with him. Okay? And I am going this way. It's just what has to happen. Now you need to go now. They're all waiting on you..." he sighed and kissed me sweetly.
"I'll be back here in exactly 5 hours, and ypu better be here too," he said, holding my hand.
"I'll be here," I smiled. He let out a breath and grabbed his bag, walking up the steps. Dylan came over to me and hugged me tightly.
"You be careful, sis," he said.
"You too."
"I just... I want you to know, in case something happens-"
"Don't start with that crap. I'll be here, and so will you. Because if you die, I will kill you." He laughed and pulled away from me.
"I was just going to say that if something happens, you better tell my nephew how incredibly bad ass his uncle was." I laughed and looked at the ground.
"I'll see you soon, Dylan," I said.
"I love you Cait. Don't you forget that..." and with that, he turned and ran up the steps, following the rest of them. Grant, Ava, and I waited until all 3 groups were out of sight before loading up our car and heading out ourselfs.
"Does anyone else just have a bad feeling?" Ava asked.
"Don't you dare jinks it, woman," Grant said looking over at her.
"I'm sorry, I just. Something feels off."
"It's too late to call snything off," I said. We have to do this... we pulled up the the building and parked across the street, staying down so we wouldn't be seen. We waited silently, listening on the radio for progress updates from the other groups, but no one was talking. Suddenly, a large group of people ran out of the warehouse and hopped in cars, speeding away.
"Ava, do a thermal scan of the building, see how many people they left," Grant whispered. She pulled out a pair of binoculars and flipped a switch, looking at the building.
"Wow.. it worked. There's only 5 left in the building."
"Okay. This is how it's going down, I'll go take out the guards and you two get to the documents and set the fire," Grant said. "We have to be fast, because the moment they realize we're destroying everything they have, they'll be ontop of us. You ready?"
"Yeah..." Ava said, shaking.
"Caitlyn, you ready?"
"Let's do this." The 3 of us grabbed our weapons and got out of the car, sneaking into the warehouse. We snuck few a few corridors before Grant stopped us suddenly.
"There's a camera on the other wall... we need to block it's vision," he whispered. Ava pulled oit a smoke grenade and lit it throwing it onto the hall. It flared up, completely smoking the hallway out.
"Go," she whispered. I covered my nose and mouth as we crossed the hallway, coming to a large room full of computers and cardboard boxes.
"This is it," I said. "But where are the guards?"
"I'll get them," Grant said, putting in a pair of thermal glasses and looking around. "The moment you get a big enough flame, you run outside and get to the car. If I'm not out in 5 minutes, or by the time others get here, you get the hell out. Understood?"
"We can't just leave you!" Ava said. "Don't try to be a hero."
"That's not what I'm doing. I'm trying to protect my friends." He smiled at her and ran off, leaving the two if us alone. I pulled my backpack off and pulled out a lighter and a can of hairspray.
"You ready to do this?" I asked.
"Yeah, let's just hurry..." she replied, pulling out her own. I flicked the lighter on and sprayed the hairspray at it, poimtimg the flame at the many cardboard boxes which almost instantly caught fire once my can was out I left Ava to setting things on fire and began smashing the computers we needed to make sure everything was destroyed. The fire spread higher and higher, soon it reached the rafters of the building as the fire alarm sounded.
"I though Styles deactivated the alarm!" Ava shouted.
"Maybe he just deactivated the sprinklers!" I shouted back. "Come on, we have to get out of here!" At that moment, a large chunk of the ceiling began crumbling away. Ava and I ran as fast as we could, weaving our way through the halls as the roaring fire behind us spread after us. It was like an inferno it the building, the heat was sweltering. We finally made it outside and went straight to the car. I could hear sirens in the distance, but they didn't sound like they were getting closer. I looked back at the building and saw a black smoke rising steadily from the building. Suddenly, I felt a terrible pain rush through my abdoman. I groaned out on pain.
"Caitlyn, what's wrong?" she asked.
"Oh no, no no. Not now. Any time but now," I begged before feeling another sweep of pain. I looked over and saw Grant running towards us before he hopped in the backseat with me.
"Ava, go. Go now!" He said. She quickly started the car and sped away.
"Caitlyn, what's going on?!" She shouted at me as anlther rush of pain spread through my body.
"I-I think I'm in labor... how can I be in labor? Not now. It's too early."
"Oh god, not now. You have to come out now?!" Grant said to the baby. "Okay, okay. We've got this, Ava, just get us back to the bunker as fast as possible," Grant said, grabbing my hand. "You're going to be just fine, just relax and breath."
"How the hell can I relax?!" I shouted, squeezing his hand.
"Ava! Watch out!" He shouted, but suddenly she slammed into the ditch. "Caitlyn, are you okay?" He asked.
"Are you kidding me? We're stuck in the middle of absolutely no where and I'm in labor!"
"Come on, you need to sit on flatter ground," he said, helping me out of the crashed car. He had me sit on the ground in the grass next to the car, sitting next to me. This was absolutely the worst timing ever.
