A Thief's Journey (Uncharted 1-4 Vairous X F! Reader)

Part 24: Treasure

[Name]'s POV

"We did it!" I cheer as the elevator starts rising up with Harry, Nate, and I hang on the outside of it.

Not a second after I make my statement, a bullet goes wizzing past my head. "Oh, come on!" I groan and Elena takes cover behind the car that's inside the elevator.

"Shoreline," Nate mutters, and him, Harry, and I fire back at them.

I jump off the elevator and grab onto the side of a cliff, climbing up and taking down the men at the top. I pull out the sniper rifle I stole, sniping down the mercenaries who aim at my friends. I take out the last of the guys with my rifle at the same time as the elevator arrives at the top of the cliff.

"Are you guys all right?" Elena asks while Nate and Harry join me.

"We're hanging in there," Harry responds while smoothing his hair back.

"We should keep moving," Nate pants, and we get back into the car.

I sigh as I'm forced to drive again, and I place the car into drive before heading forward. "So, where should I go on vacation after all of this is over?" I ask while driving into a stream and making my way towards the massive elevator.

"Let's focus on that after we're far away from this place," Elena laughs, and we come up to the closed sluice gates of a dam.

"Time to find a way through," I mutter, looking at Harry who understands what I want him to do. He gets out of the car and grapples onto the platform where a crank is to open the first gate. He turns the crank and I shake my head, "The path is blocked. Try the other gate."

Harry mumbles a few explicits to himself, making me chuckle as he makes his way over to the second crank and turns it. The second gate opens to reveal a clear path and I smile. "We're good," I tell him and he drops down into the river and hops back into the car.

I drive through the opening in the dam, continuing towards the large elevator that'll hopefully take us to New Devon. I drive around a path and speed down, jumping over a hole in the bridge.

"And I thought Chloe was the best driver in the business," Harry grins and I smirk.

"Her and I like to race when we can. You guys should watch sometime," I tell them while pulling up to the closed gate of the elevator. "Seems we have to lift it to open it."

Nate and Harry get out of the car and lift up the gate. Once it's high enough, I drive under it and the guys join us inside the elevator. Harry pulls the lever of the elevator and we rise off he ground and make our way up the old wooden elevator.

I get out of the car and take pictures of the scene in front of us. Tree tops with mountains in the background, blue skies with birds flying out towards the horizon. "I'm legitimately serious about selling these pictures," I state while putting my phone away.

"You might make a fair amount off them," Elena says and I smirk.

"Hopefully so."

The elevator comes to a stop at the top, and Harry and Nate lift up the gate while I get back in the car. I start it up again and drive out of the elevator, stopping once I'm back on the grassy path and allowing Harry and Nate to jump back into the car. Elena pats my shoulder and smiles, "Let's keep going."

I nod before driving down the grassy path that slowly turns to stone. All of us stay quiet, taking in the peace and serenity of the island until it's broken by a staticky sound coming from Elena's radio, Sully's voice coming through, "You kids there?"

"Yeah, we're here," Elena responds to him.

"I'm still in the air. Though I saw a bunch of Shoreline vehicles heading north."
