"What do we do now?" Jack whispers in my ear.
I think for a moment.
"We have to let them find us," I say, looking at Jack a little bit uncertain.
"What?" He hisses.
"Why would we do that?"
"If they take me to my uncle or whatever."
I shudder.
"Then I'll get close enough to kick him in the groin, and then shoot or stab him."
Jack stares at me like I've gone crazy.
"I don't know if that's exactly a good idea."
"Well then what else you got? Cause frankly, I think that's our only plan."
He frowns.
"I don't know," he repeats.
"It's the only way we'll get close enough. And I won't let him hurt you," I say, still trying to convince him.
"It's not me I'm worried about."
He pauses.
"I'm worried something will happen to you."
"Jack." I whisper.
"He won't touch me, I'll gust act Saif I want to ' join the dark side.' Alright?"
He nods.
"But how are we going to do this?"
I grin.
"We turn ourselves in."
Without hesitation, I grab his hand, and run into the centre of the hallway.
"Yoo-hoo!" I call.
The guard's head snaps up, and he takes out his gun.
"Stop right there, don't you dare move or I'll shoot you!"
Jack and I put other hands up, surrendering.
"Who are you?" He speaks low, but dangerous.
"I am the niece of your leader, the one you've been hunting for, the chosen one."
The man looks at me weirdly, before locking our hand in cuffs, and pressing a gun to Jack's back.
"Don't move, of say a word, I won't hesitate to use this."
He digs the gun deeper into Jack's back.
"Cmon, move!"
