Female Warrior [COMPLETED]

Chapter 26

Lucas: I open the case and inject 3 syringes into my arm and I watch as the liquid enters my body. Very quickly my chest doesn't feel as tight and I'm able to breathe. I start taking deep breaths, relieved that I didn't die here. I lay down on the floor for a couple more seconds until I realize that the building is about to explode. "HOLY SHIT!" I jump up and grab the case in case I need it for later. I hear the boiler room making a bunch of noise, sounding like it's about to explode at any moment. I run over to the window seeing if I can jump. "In the movies, there would be a pool or an inflatable animal to jump on. But of course, I have neither of that." I sigh. "So steps it is." I run to the steps and jump down each flight of steps as fast as I can. Within minutes later I hear the boiler room explode which shakes the building up. I trip from trying to jump down the steps so instead, I fall down them. I look up and hear more explosions from the top floor going on and see fire coming down the steps. "Oh shit, I need to pick up the pace." I get up and forget jumping down the steps and just run down them like a track star. I get to the first floor and feel the heat of the fire right on my tail. Instead of going through the front doors I jump out the window and the building fills up with fire, and all the windows in the building burst. I quickly crawl over to the military tank and hide under it to protect myself from the glass. As I watch as it hit the ground another explosion goes off in the building. I try to catch my breath and take a moment to rest. "Little weird how I miss the Penitentiary..." Once the explosions and falling glass come to an end, I come out from under the tank.

Diego: "Hey do you..."

Lucas: I jump, grab my ax and swing it at the guy talking behind me. He dodges and I hit the tank instead. "Who the hell are you?"

Diego: "The name's Diego. Just trying to see if you need help."

Lucas: "And why the hell would you help me?"

Diego: "Well for starters I wish the commander was dead and all of this would come to an end."

Lucas: I look the guy up and down. "Hmm he's pretty cute," I say in my head. "The name is Lucas," I say as I turn around and start to walk away.

Diego: "Lucas...? Ava told me about you."

Lucas: I stop walking and turn around. "Ava? You know Ava?"

Diego: "Yeah we met. She came to me and my group back at the mall. Until a bunch of guys killed and separated all of us. I was planning on helping her get to New York."

Lucas: "...Do they think she's...dead?"

Diego: "Doubt it...she's strong, and she has her gal pal with her for help. If you want to we can work together and try to get up to New York to help her, you can trust me."

Lucas: I sigh because I would rather be alone, but I do need help and he's really cute. "Fine...lead the way. I suspect you know the way to go?"

Diego: I smirk. "I do." I start walking and leading the way to Philly.

Lucas: I watch him pass by me and I walk from behind, feeling more confident about this venture.
