"I'm trying to have a serious convo with you!" "And I'm trying to subtly avoid it!" The girl walks away from her partners chair, "Everest, please, I told you I'm sorry it was a mistake!" The man tries to gesture using his hands but quickly realizes he can't with his arms tied around the back of the chair. "Rush, I told you to not come here!! Now how am I supposed to get you out without jeopardizing my position!" She whisper-yells in despair, "You have no idea how hard it is to kiss up to that son of a gun Philip, now I have to get rid all of that progress to get your stupid butt out of here before they execute you!!" Everest runs her hands through her long blonde hair while rolling her blue eyes to the ground. "Ok look, we can get out of here if you listen to me!" His disheveled black hair falling in his face, "I have a plan." "Oh because your plan to 'help me out here' worked so well" "I actually thought this one out!" His dark brown eyes plead into hers, "uggh, Fine! Spit it out," "ok, you need to insist to take Me to the execution, and I know you don't think I do my research but I know the papers are down the hall to the left." "Yes, yes I know and I did my studying and that is the way to the execution room, they execute with a firing squad by the way." The tan boy looked disappointed, but his head suddenly bounces up with excitement, "Thats perfect!" Everest looks at him concern, "is that your dream way to die?" She asks sarcastically. "Insist on being part of the firing squad, and when everyone is about to shoot, shoot the rest." Her face scrunches, thinking about the plan, "wouldn't they think it's suspicious that I would insist on being the one to shoot and take you to the execution?" Rush thinks for a moment before excitedly talking again, "create a crazy backstory like, like I tortured you and your family to get info on this organization!" "I'll admit that sounds good, but how do we get out?" "Right before they brought me here I woke up, I heard a helicopter land and I used my shoulder to push up the bag on my head and I saw I was on the roof," "that's perfect!" Everest yelled while jumping up and down, "the execution room is right next to the flight of stairs leading up to the roof!" "So we got a plan!" "Yes!!" They both sit there gleaming with joy, "So, aren't you happy you took me serious?" He mischievously smirks, "whatever, you still made it so I had to save such a moron as yourself," she smirks while glaring into Rush's eyes. "Oh you love me," he grins like the Cheshire Cat ear to ear. "I think you got it wrong I hate you," "I-" Rush is cut off by an officer opening up the door. "The execution is taking place now." Everest nods while keeping a straight face, she then turns to Rush and winks.
