Recap

My thinking has me in such a state, I need to stop. Sami did the move on me and it went perfectly. The day went like that.. but except it was like a timer. The twenty hours went by like a ticking clock. The time was close and our time was eventually going to not last anymore.

After the guards left the room, I quickly turned to Droid. He was in a pretty awful shape so far.
"Don't do anything stupid. Don't speak to them. Vanoss and the rest should be here any minute. You know how he'd be" I said staring through Droid's eyes, including the black eye. He just looked down and shook his head. "What if the got held up or are coming later? You heard what this man said.. he was going to kill us soon" he said. I shook my head and stared at him in his eyes. "Don't say that. We'll survive" I said and he nodded again. He was thinking too negative right now. He had recently tried fighting a guy and got "punished." These people are all twisted. I've never had to deal with them nor know who they are but for sure they were prepared and ready for anything. "Just be quiet, don't do anything please" I whispered to him and sat back listening to the clock tick every second once again.

After a sudden nap, I felt Droid kick me, awakening me. I nodded to him and he continued to be silent allowing me to hear the noises. They were big booms and loads of gunshots from upstairs. A little smirk arose from my face. Droid did the same and looked up only to smile at the guard who had a faint worried look. He opened the door and kept looking both ways as if he was up to something or probably scared out of his mind. He was the only one with us, the other guard probably left to go check what was up or their boss asked for him.

I moved my arms around hoping that I could escape if everyone was being distracted but all our hands and legs were wrapped with was plastic. It wasn't easy to escape but we could try. The on,y thing that hurt and kept distracting us more than anything was the pain. The plastic was cutting through our skin and it was lowkey cutting circulation from how tight it was. The way they abducted us was plain weird. I remember us driving to find Lea and all of a sudden cars swarmed us. I thought it was the cops and undercover cops but me and Droid pulled out our weapons looking for an escape but whoever, was quick enough to sneak behind us and inject something into us knocking us both out cold. We've always been down here since.

"Wait" the guard said before he walked over untying Droid and I. I was confused and taken back. "I've always wanted to do this. Follow me.. I'll help you guys. I just hope I am not captured" he said unlocking the door and walking us out. "Let's go" he said running down the hall. There was still plenty of shooting and yelling. It almost helped us escape. The alarms were going off, what did they think? Of course we were going to invade them. We all peaked over the balcony of this floor we were on which seemed to be third. It was like we were looking down to the "lobby" and I won't lie but it was a pretty place. Instead of drooling over this place, I needed to find Vanoss. We were his mission. "I know who your crew leader is. When my crew said that they captured you, this was my plan all along once that jackass left the room. My name is Mexiciutioner. I used to be a former crew member so Cartoonz's crew. You heard of him before?" He asked and I nodded but Droid didn't. "Great. After this, I need to leave this place or I'll get killed" the man chuckled while ducking. "Just come with us. Vanoss would be delighted to hear of your bravery and what you did for us. Thank you" I said and he kept quiet but nodded.

We followed him towards the end of the hall, we took out anybody in sight to protect us since we had zero weapons. It was almost as if the next room was where all the action was happening at. "We can't go in there.. they have backup and I don't want you guys getting hurt or killed. There is a back door over here, come follow m-" he was cut off.
