Masterminds

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

My body was slammed into the wall by guards. And a lot of them. I did think so many guards would be in this small tower.

I groaned as Jet smacked a guard on the head with his gun, then kicking a few other guards down the stairs.

Just as I punched the guard holding me, another man came to my right, punching my eye.

A flash of light hit me as I tumbled backwards, crumbling on the ground as I rolled down the stairs.

"Rad!" Jet yelled. I felt by body crash into the wall, making my head spin violently. Black spots danced across my vision as I attempted to stand up.

Jet cursed and cocked his gun, shooting down guards. As I staggered up the stairs, everything thing looked doubled to me. Even with my cyborg eye, everything was wonky.

Jet picked up a chair, pushing guards out like last weeks laundry, then he grabbed me by my shirt, pulling me inside the room.

As Jet slammed the doors shut while pushing a couple chairs against it I managed to get over to the control panel.

All the buttons and levers spun around as I tried to focus. "Any day now, bro!" Jet said holding the shaking doors open.

I shook my head then gazed down at the control panel. "Red switch, blue button, red switch again" I muttered as my fingers danced around, pressing buttons and pulling levers.

As I slammed my hand on a big red button I felt the tower shake. I peered out of the windows, seeing the huge gates swing open, letting cargo trucks escape quickly.

"They made it" I smiled as I fell back, touching my head. "They finally escaped."

Jet sighed and said, "awesome. Now how do we get out of here?" I gave him a groggy look due to me hitting my head so hard.

"What?" Jet groaned and said, "how hard did you hit your head!" I shrugged while sitting up against the wall. "Everything is spinning and I think you have two heads."

"Aw man. You had to hit your head now!" Jet said as the doors shook more.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound made my headache ache more. Outside the tower a helicopter zoomed towards us at a fast pace.

"Is that a UFO?" I frowned while pointing at the window. Jet had a panic look on his face until he saw who was driving it.

"Well are you coming?" Margret said with the helicopter speakers. Jet smiled and said, "dude! Margret came to save us."

"How nice" I said like a drunk loon. "I hope she brought some ice."

Jet rammed some more chairs into the door, then quickly running to the windows, opening them.

Wind blew violently in the tower, sending papers everywhere. Jet helped me stand up as we climbed onto the control panel.

"Hop in!" Margret said opening the helicopter door. Just as she said that the doors flew open, sending in angry guards.

Jet yelped and jumped to the helicopter with me on his back. He caught into the ledge as Margret swerved the vehicle away from the tower, avoiding the guards.

Jet tossed me aboard, then following while panting and gasping for air. "Ooh. Look at the pretty sky" I chuckled as the helicopter flew away.

"What happened to him?" Margret scowled as I gazed at the ceiling like a kid on a sugar high.

"He smacked his head against a wall" Jet said propping my body up. Margret sighed and said, "there's a first aid kit in that bag."

Jet snatched a black duffle bag, rummaging through it. He pulled out a first and kit, then finding an ice pack.

As he shook the bag up, getting it cold, Margret said, "I have good news and bad news."

"I could use some good news about now" Jet said placing the ice on my head.

"I know where Nia is" Marget replied. "Good. Where?" Jet asked. Margaret gripped the steering wheel and said, "that's the bad news."

Jet gulped as Margret croaked, "she's in the Supreme Rank garbage dump." Jet paused then giving a small sigh. "Oh no."

"Why do you have four eyes, bro? You look funny" I chuckled as Jet glared at me. "Snap out of it!"

Jet slapped my face, sending me back into reality. "Red switch!" I coughed as I skidded across the floor.

"Rad, we know where Nia is" Jet said to me as I sat up. Despite my hurting head I said, "where!"

Jet frowned, glaring at the ground. "Your not going to like this buddy." I picked up the ice as he said, "she's is the dump."

My eyes widened. "What!" Margret nodded. "Last check I did on her was that guards were taking her body to the dump."

I felt my heart stop. "If she's in the dump, that means..." I didn't even want to think about it.

"Step on it!" I yelled. "Hurry!"
