How Do We Get Out?

How Do We Get Out? Chapter 4

Chapter 4-

We were told we'd have to jump out of the helicopter because if the pilot landed we may be shot down thinking we're soldiers. We all took a parachute, attached ourselves to it, and then jumped out. After we landed on the ground we all had to unlatch the parachutes from us and leave them there while we ran. Liam was the only one who knew where the building we had to go to was so obviously he led us. We got to the building and realized it has no doors or windows. "How are we supposed to get in if there's no entrance?" Zayn asked. "Oh there's always a way to get in." I said smirking and climbing up to the roof. I stood on the roof and looked around for a chimney of some sort. "I got it! C'mon guys!" I said going over to the edge of the roof. I pulled everyone up onto the roof before leading them over to the glass ceiling of an empty room. "How are we supposed to get through a glass ceiling Emily?" Louis said rolling his eyes at me. "Like this," I said jumping feet first onto the glass ceiling. "Emily!" Zayn and Jane said as I crashed through the glass. I heard Jane and Zayn gasp as I laid on the ground of the building that was covered in broken glass. I stood up before realizing why they had gasped. I had a shard of glass stuck in my left arm. I bit my lip as I pulled out the piece of glass. Before I bandaged the wound, I found a rope and tossed the end up to Louis caught it and let everyone slide down the rope. "How do you expect to get down?" Cassie asked concernedly. Louis wrapped the end of the rope onto a piece of metal sticking out of the top. He then slid down the rope, and then cut off the end of the rope that was tied. We ran down a long hallway before hearing Arabic being shouted. We hid in a small closet before hearing gunshots. We got as small as we could make ourselves. I looked out of the keyhole and found that there wasn't anyone in the hallway. "Guys-It's clear let's move." I whispered as Zayn slowly opened the door. We walked out of the closet and held our guns up in case. I was in the front, what a shock. We slowly went around the corner. I stopped Zayn, who was behind me, making everyone else stop. I loaded my gun and then shot. "Why did you shoot?" Zayn whispered to me. "There was one of the Afghans who were shooting when we ran into the closet. He was coming around the corner with a larger gun that was loaded." I said looking at everyone. "Ok, well let's move." Liam said taking my place and leading the way. He after all, he saw what room the codes were in and in what building. We ran down multiple hallways. "DUCK!" I shouted pushing Liam down and shooting over him. We kept running until we got close to the room. We got close to the door until realizing that the door was locked and had a code and was airtight sealed. Liam hacked into the code section while I shot open the door. "Okay, we're in," I said as I walked into the room Liam led us to. We all walked inside hesitantly. "Go get the codes so we can get out of here," Harry said impatiently. Liam ran over to the one computer to get the codes out of it. "Okay! I got them let's move!" Liam said. "Wait what is that?" Cassie asked after hearing footsteps. "They're back..."Niall said putting his gun in his pocket. "Where are we supposed to go?!" Jane asked fearfully. Zayn and Louis looked around the room for spots to hide in. "Guys, there's four small spots where maybe two people can fit in. " Louis said walking back over to us with Zayn. "It'll have to work," I said pushing my knife and gun farther into my pocket. Zayn pulled me over to a small cabinet that we'd hide in. Niall and Jane took another cabinet. Liam and Louis hid in a trunk(like the big suitcases). While Cassie and Harry hid in the third and final cabinet. "Zayn...." I said quietly. "Can you understand them?" I finished. "No...They're talking too loud and too fast for me to try to translate." He said back discouraged.

"Jane...How'd you learn to shoot?" Niall asked Jane trying to get his mind off of the fact that we were all crammed in small spaces. "I've had one since I was 11. I've figured it out over 5 years." Jane said chuckling.

"Harry-" Cassie whispered. "Yeah love?" "What should we do? We're gonna be stuck in here for a long time and if we don't do something I'm going to flip out-" Cassie said before Harry kissed her. "Maybe that will calm you down." Harry said pulling away.

There was a lot of shouting and stomping. "How do we get out?" I whispered to Zayn shakily. "We can't" He said back looking me in the eyes as tears filled mine and his.

"Niall....What's gonna happen to us?" Jane whispered to Niall as a tear ran down her cheek. He pulled her onto his lap and held her tightly. As he kissed her forehead, he whispered, "I don't know sweetheart, I really don't know."

Cassie had fallen asleep in Harry's arms while he listened to the Afghans. I realized at that moment, we had the headpieces with headquarters and each other! "Hey Niall! Come In Niall," I said as quietly as I could while still making sure he could hear me. "Emily? What?" He responded back. "How do you suppose we get out?" I whispered hoping Zayn could hear the conversation. "Let's try and wait until the sound gets quieter so maybe they're farther away." Niall said back before I shut off the headset. All of a sudden, the gunshots got extremely loud. Then, it all got extremely quiet. I slowly opened the door to the cabinet and stood up, keeping Zayn in the cabinet still. I heard Arabian being spoken and I shot in the direction it was coming from. Everyone else slowly came out of their hiding spots. "Get your guns out, we all have to get home in one piece." Harry said pulling Cassie up out of the cabinet. I was made as leader by Harry. Zayn was behind me, and I could literally hear his breathing. We walked through multiple hallways before getting close to where we came in through. "Stay back, I'll go first to check if any Afghans are here," I said quietly pushing Zayn back. I walked around the corner and spotted a soldier looking away. I pulled the trigger and shot him when he noticed me. Right when the bullet first left the gun, I felt a shocking pain in my leg. Then, I collapsed. I heard Zayn, Cassie, and Jane scream, a shoot, and loud footsteps. Zayn picked me up as everyone else got out and then helped me and Zayn up. The helicopter landed on the roof and everyone got in. Zayn laid me on the open space on the floor of the helicopter and wrapped my leg where I had been shot. Before I blacked out I heard Zayn sobbing while saying, "C'mon Emily! Stay with me! I can't loose you baby!" When I woke up we were still in the helicopter. Zayn was tying his shirt tightly around my leg, Cassie was crying into Harry's shoulder, Jane was crying with her head in her hands while Niall held her close, Liam was destroying the codes how he was told, and Louis was asleep. "EMILY!!!" Zayn said pulling me into a tight hug and then kissing me. "Woah there slow down! What happened?" I said as I pulled away from Zayn. "When you shot the Afghan, there was another one from a different hallway watching, but he only saw you, and he shot you in the leg. Then Zayn shot him, grabbed you, and then we all got out of there." Liam said looking up. "Emily?!" Jane and Cassie gasped sniffing. "Come here!" I said as they both came forward for a hug. After everyone expressed how anxious they were when I blacked out and everything, we got back to headquarters. Zayn helped me get out of the helicopter and walk into the building.
