The Spaces Inbetween

Chapter 5. The Escape

    After three days of gathering information and people to help us escape, we had finally decided to move on the plan. Me and Naomi went through our room inside and out to make sure no bugs had been planted. We went through the plan hundreds of times. Fixing and tweaking anything that could end up with us failing. It was a simple yet very complex plan. I looked at Naomi then the peice of paper on the table. I read the list out loud to make sure we both had it.
    "Alright. So first thing's first. We have our main group of people make a diversion in the cafeteria. They're mostly made up of D class kids. Second, you and I run into sector 7. According to this map that's were the security room is. We can disable the cameras with Axels little gift. Then we-"
Naomi interrupted me.
    "I think we should hit Sector 7 after we take out the labs in Sector 12. It would make more sense to do that because if we are in such a rush that we fly by it without taking it out, then they'll have all of our information still. They'd also have the DNA and we can't have them risking others lives."
I agreed and continued.
   "How about I take out labs and you go for the security room. That way both things get taken care of?"
    "Absolutely not. We already agreed that we aren't leaving one another's side."
    "Alright then. We go for the labs first. Then sector 7. That means that group Epsilon takes care of sectors 1 through 3. And group Delta takes care of sectors 13, 14, and lastly 15 before we bust out of sector 9."
    After going through the plan again we had decided that the best attack plan was to do this as soon as we could. In total there were 283 of us. Me, Naomi and Axel were group Alpha. Then divided up the other two groups were Epsilon and Delta. We had been stealing walkie-talkies from the guards all week. Most of us had one. Step one was to creat a diversion.
     We were doing this. Right now was our mark to break out of this place. I sent Epsilon to the cafeteria to create a commotion. From the sounds of it they did more than that. They started a riot in there. They convinced everyone to start fighting back against the guards. I looked at Naomi.
    "You ready for this my love?"
She giggled and replied.
    "Only if you are."
I nodded my head. Then directing Delta down the narrowing halls twords their sectors. Naomi, Axel and I rushed down to an intersection. When we heard that they were sending more guards down to Epsilon's little riot, we decided to rush the security room. I assured Naomi we would hit the labs next. Guards were rushing in all directions. Not paying a single thought to us. Delta had caused a huge explosion in some of the smaller sectors. We got into the security room and Axel went to work. All locked doors were now open. As I watched this guy basically plug his head into the computer we saw the Carnage from the cafeteria and some of the other sectors. Everything was going to plan. Me and Naomi heard the door swing open.
   Five armed guards looking at us telling us to freeze. Immediately Naomi went invisible, and I grabbed one of the guards attention. I embezzled my strings around his brain. I turned him against his fellow guards. Opening fire shooting three of them dead then turning the gun on himself.
    Naomi broke the last guards neck. Me and Naomi ran out of the room and started twords the labs. Axel had locked the door behind us and continued to tell us how everything was going.
    By this time over 80% of the people here had joined the fight. We had finally come across the lab after running through the narrow hallways. The scientists were scrambling like cockroaches. Packing everything they could. I kicked the door in smacking one of them in the face. Naomi taping my shoulder grabbing my attention.
   "Take this Loki. Go have a hay day."
She said handing me a standardized 40 caliber Glock. I didn't question how she got it but I gladly took it. I yelled in the room.
   "EVERYONE STOP MOVING NOW!"
Then firing a shot off into the air.
   "Now all of you listen very carefully. None of you are leaving. I'm going to quite literally pain the floor with your brains."
They started begging for mercy as I popped shot after shot into there heads. All that was going through my head was how many shots I had left, and where was the mercy for the people they were testing on. After everything calmed down Naomi looked and me and smiled. Axel's voice came on the radio. He called me heartless and then laughed.
Me and Naomi were destroying all the DNA and the research until Naomi said she had a little surprise for me. She said that she had gotten in contact with her sister, who just so happened to be apart of the group of people that stole the bomb before we were put in here. She said within the next couple of minutes the EMP would short out all the electronics and that's when we would make the final push.
    We saw people rushing through the halls charging into battle. The guards never stood a chance. Then it happened. The EMP went off. A loud blast punctured my ears. The EMP had shorted out something in the lab. I pushed Naomi out of the way as it exploded sending shrapnel everywhere. I was blasted against the wall as ruble and debris fell on top of me. The sound of Naomi's scream faded. As she yelled at people to get the ruble off of me. All I could think of was how everyone was gonna finally be able to leave. I closed my eyes and felt the heavens sit on my chest. I could still breathe but I couldn't move. I felt a liquid run down the top of my head and into my mouth. It was warm. At first I thought it was my own blood. It was the feeling of it sliding down my throat that made me realize it wasn't blood. It was something else. Something powerful. I felt a warm feeling deep down. I opened my eyes and heard Naomi's voice. Without even realizing it I had created a shield around myself.
    Then warm liquid that was now inside of me was the powers they extracted out of people. I started to move the ruble off of my body. Finally seeing light again. I looked down at my body to assess my injuries. To everyone's surprise I didn't have any. Not even a scratch. Naomi rushed over to me and grabbed me. I was still on the ground while she hugged me. She nuzzled me into her breasts. Yelling at me and squeezing me tighter and tighter.
    "You idiot! You almost... You almost got yourself killed again."
Breaking down in tears she sat next to me. Axel reported seeing the Directors helicopter take off and head south. As I went to reach for the radio a tall girl with scarlett red hair and purple eyes looked down at me. Naomi helped me up and introduced me.
    "This is my sister. Kinda. She's not here right now but this her spirit? I'm not to sure how to explain it. It's a succubus thing.'
I laughed and introduced myself. When I went to shake her hand I went right through it. She really wasn't here. After gathering myself and seeing the damages done around me. Naomi and I darted down the hall. Any guard that didn't evacuate with the director was dead.
    Alot of the people here had grudges against them. We all met back up in Sector 9. Where we had been forced to come through was now our exit. All of us. We walked out the doors into a wild scene. Real sunlight hit our skins. Naomi danced around as the others flooded out the door. I looked around and saw nothing but trees. Our little facility was on top of a mountain surrounded by a sea of trees. I took a deep breath in and tasted the freedom. For the first time in months we were finally outside. We were finally free. I looked at Naomi and told her that me and her had to guide these people back to civilization.
    First thing we did was sit down for a minute. After I explained what we're doing next everyone silently agreed.
     "We are finally free. We did what they said we couldn't do and we broke out. Now a new threat is on the horizon. The wild. We have to help one another get home. We need to all work together. The Director headed south. So we go south!"
     Everyone chanted. Later that day we had all partnered up into groups of two. Never lose your buddy. We made that our number one rule.
We then set forth on our new journey to find our way home.

Hey guys! So two things. The first thing is as some of you know, when I announced this book I originally said it was going to be a short 5 chapter story. I take it back. It's going to be alot longer than that. It could even surpass "LoL". Second thing is I'm loving the new adventure. Within the next month or so chapter 6 will be out and ready to read. If you want to throw ideas at me shoot me a message. If you like the way the stories going let me know. I appreciate all feedback. It might also be a little longer now than I'm lacking free time so just sick with me.
