I sat beside the Strucker siblings as John paced around us,i had just got up from bed because Hot Hands wanted us to help him get Lorna back.
"We know that Lorna is being held in a cell at the Sentinel Services Regional Headquarters.We believe that Reed Strucker is there with her."
John says,pointing to the Struckers.I see Lauren and Andy look at eachother shakily.
I put a blueberry lollipop into my mouth,playing with it in my mouth.I did want to help,i really did but i just couldn't see what we could do.We have ONE DAY to figure out what to do.Planning against SENTINEL SERVICES,rounding up volunteers,deciding when and where to attack in just 24 hours?Is that even possible?!I mean it can,but i'm not sure many people are up to this.I'm just assuming that because of the bored and hopeless look on other faces.
"We don't know much about it,except that the people who go there don't come back."
John says keeping a straight face,how does he do that?
He just explained to us that one of his closest friend was going to be moved somewhere they would never ever be able to see her again!
"That's why we gotta go now.And i'm not gonna sugar-coat this,were talking about attacking Sentinel Services."
He says.
The whole room erupts in chatter,people were whispering and chatting about John's absurd statement and i gulped in and took a deep breath.I was all in for saving Lorna and Reed,i owe it to them for saving us and getting me into the Underground.The thing is,the last time that happened is why we lost Reed.Why he is probably in a cell being treated like shit.
Sage couldn't keep her mouth shut,but she let out 13 words that made me think bad about what happened then.
"We lost six people the last time we went up against them directly."
Sage said,John looked at her sympathetically.
"I know that better than anybody."
John muttered out,i looked at Andy and saw he had the same look as me.
If he knows that better than anyone,he was there when it happened.Just suggesting from the tone of his voice and the face of Sage,they both had people they care about die that night.
"It won't be like last time."
"Your right,last time we just had a relocation center with a fence and guard towers.This time it's a prison.There systems have improved extrapolating from other attacks.We have an 86.5% chance of failure."
Sage explained,to be frank i was sort of getting pissed off with her pessimistic paragraph of 'You're all idiots 101.'
I intertwined my fingers with eachother,clasping my hands together and looking at them,going through the numbers in my head while the little girls debate on who's prettier.
"And if we do nothing?We have 100% chance we never see them again."
Marcos says,Sage sighs and leans back into her seat.
Caitlin puts her hands on Lauren and Andy's shoulders,looking at all of them and couldn't stay quiet while more than half the room were thinking of leaving her husband there at the hands of a violent detainment center.
"I know were new here but,please."
She pleads.
"Lorna has risked her life for everyone in this room.Harry.Your parents would be dead without her."
He says.
I saw the Harry guy move in his seat,looking
down at his knees.
"Sage,she pulled you out of a GUTTER and she got you clean.I mean she's-she needs us."
Marcos says desperately,i can tell he lives her dearly enough that he would die for her.
"Doesn't change the math Marcos."
"I don't care about the math!I care about Lorna!"
He snaps back at Sage.
