Michael

   I was sitting against the wall looking around. The sun was slowly setting and I could feel my anxiety rising. Mercy and Kirana were both in front of me quietly going over the plan while Calum was in the restroom. I close my eyes and I hear Luke and Ashton's yells. I quickly open my eyes and look around franticly but I was only met with the eyes of both Kirana and Mercy who were concerned.

"Mike you okay?" Mercy asks and I nod and sit back.

"I will be once I find Luke and Ashton."

   She nods and sits next to me and looks at me with a smile and I give a small smile back. She opens her arms and I lean in and she wraps her arms around me and I felt her comfort and relaxed a little bit more.

"You just need a hug." She says and I smile and put my head on her chest.

"Thank you Merce." I say and she rubs my arm and lets go.

"Michael, I want you to relax. Yes I know, there's a chance one of us can get really hurt but when you're relaxed, you can think better." She says and I nod and sit up.

"Alright, well before we have to fight for our lives tonight, let's get to know each other." I say and she gives me a look.

"Really? You want to get to know me?"

"Yeah why not?"

"Well, what do you want to know?"

"Do you-"

"Hey Merce, come here for a sec." Kirana says as she digs in the bag.

"Hold on Mike." Mercy says and I nod as she gets up and walks over to Kirana and Calum walks over to me.

"What are you doing?" Calum asks and I look up at him.

"What do you mean?" I ask and she squats in front of me.

"You're getting to know Merce?"

"What's wrong with that Calum? It's not like I'm going to try and get with her. I just am trying to get to know her. I'll get to try and learn about Kirana later on, mate why so up tight?"

"I'm not uptight mate. I just want to know why." Calum says and Mercy pops back over to us

"You guys ready for tonight?" She asks and I nod and she smiles and there was a loud pop from outside the room, catching our attention.

"What was that?" Calum asks and Mercy shrugs and stands up and her and Kirana go to the door and peep out the door.

"That's odd, girls get back from the door." I say and I stand up as they back away from the door and look at us. 

"We should head to the club but sneak our way Kirana press record." Mercy says and Kirana nods and takes her phone off the charger and presses record and puts it in her pocket. She grabs the backpack and we quietly make our way out the room and quietly make our way to the club.

   As we walk I check our surroundings and I notice Kirana was a bit slow with her movements. I walk beside her and put my arm around her shoulder hoping it would ease her nerves which it did very slightly as I felt less tension in her shoulders. We hear people coming towards us and  we stop and pretend to make small talk as two staff members walk by us, paying us no mind at all. We wait till they were out of range before walking into the club where a couple people were drinking. Mercy and Calum walk away to look for any weapons while Kirana and I walk to the bar to get some drinks.

"What's up lil' mama." A guy slurs next to Kirana and she looks at him with disgust and steps closer to me.

"Ew." She comments and looks at the drinks and the guys gives a smirk and went to touch her when I grab his wrist and twist it, looking him directly in the eyes.
