When We Were Mercs (Jake Muller x Reader)

When We Were Mercs (Jake Muller x reader) Pt24.

-------------------------------Jake P.O.V.-------------------------------
I tore my shirt at the bottom and tied it around the fresh wound in my left leg. Right through the ankle.

Jake: "OK, c'mon. Just get up."
I pulled up on the railing of the stairs and continued to give myself a pep talk. Only thing that distracted from the constant pain.

Jake: "C'mon, you gotta keep going. You have someone waiting for you when she wakes up. You really gonna let her down? And I KNOW, all it's gonna take, is one looking into those (e/c) eyes, and it'll all be OK."
I tripped on the last few steps, falling. I heard a hard snap. Whatever little thread my ankle was holding on by, just broke.

Jake: "Well, that's just beautiful. Shit, now what?"
I rolled off of my side and onto my knees. I heard an explosion behind me and screaming coming from all through the building.

Jake: "Shit, those bastards are bombing the place."
That's when I felt a hand under each arm, bringing me to my feet.

Stasia: "C'mon, Jake, I got you."
She put my arm across her shoulders and supported most of my weight.

Jake: "Stasia, go! I appreciate the help but you need to get out. You AND (Y/N)."

Stasia: "There was an evacuation order, Alex and (Y/N) are already out. They're waiting on us in the bunker."
I dragged along, leaning on her and coughing on smoke.

Jake: "How is she? Is she awake."

Stasia: "She was still out when Alex left with her . I don't know about NOW. Let's just focus on getting ourselves out. Is there a faster way down?"
We were still 4 floors up. As risky as it was, there was ONE faster way down.

Jake: "You might not like it, but it's all we have before this place crumbles, with us inside."
She kept running as fast as she could.

Stasia: "I'm all ears."
I handed her my gun.

Jake: "Shoot the lock off of one of these apartments, any one of 'em."

Stasia: "I don't know how to shoot."

Jake: "Just try!"
She stopped and aimed at a door, her hand shaking. I reached over and steadied her arm. She pulled the trigger and the knob went FLYING.

Stasia: "Alright, now what?"

Jake: "There's a drainpipe outside every window. Go down the pipe and we'll go from there."

Stasia: "I'M NOT LEAVING YOU!"

Jake: "JUST GO, TRUST ME!"
She had me sit by the window and another bomb went off. She grabbed the pipe and looked back at me. I just smiled and nodded. She slid down and landed on the ground.
-------------------------------Stasia P.O.V.-----------------------------
I hugged the pipe and landed firmly on the ground. I looked up to the window and saw Jake looking down at me.

Stasia: "WHAT DO I DO NOW!?!"

Jake: "DO YOU SEE A BIG LAUNDRY BIN, SHOULD BY AT THE END OF THE ALLEY!"
I looked around for a minute, spotting it at the far end.

Stasia: "I THINK I FOLLOW!"
I ran to the bin just as yet another explosion triggered. I wheeled it ust below the fire escape.

Stasia: "I'M HERE!"
By the time I was properly lined up under the window, Jake as already on the edge of the railing.

Jake: "DO. NOT. MOVE!"
He climbed and dangled off the railing, eventually letting go.
-------------------------------Jake P.O.V.-------------------------------
I fell for what felt like ever. Until the sharp pain of another hard snap hit me like sucker punch.

Jake: "SON OF A...."
I let out the most gut-wrenching scream I ever heard. I didn't even know I could scream like that. I felt Stasia running the bin towards the green smoke marking the bunker. I got onto my back to look at my leg. It was obviously shattered, both my ankle and just above.

Stasia: "Almost there, we're almost there, Jake. Just hang on."
She stopped.
-------------------------------Stasia P.O.V.-----------------------------
I stopped, just outside the door. I began POUNDING the door with both fists.

Stasia: "HEY, LET US IN! PLEASE, I HAVE SOMEONE THAT'S HURT!"
The second those doors opened I ran behind the bin, Jake still groaning on his back.

Jake: "ALEX? (Y/N)?"

Alex: "JAKE! Jesus Christ! Stasia, get him down the hall."
The 'bunker' was apparently a system of underground tunnels.

Stasia: "Which way?"

Alex: "Down the hall, make a left then a right."

Jake: "Alex, where's (Y/N)? Is she OK?"

Alex: "As far as I Know, she's still out, she's where you're headed."

Jake: "GO!"

The pain was too much, I passed out.
