The Dying Generation

Chapter Fifty

Crammed into a vehicle, we pulled up to our destination. The laboratory, I sat perched onto Savannah's shoulder, looking up at the building that sat before us.

"So, what's the plan?" Sal questioned, looking towards the destination.

"I'll sneak you boys in around the back entrance, and I'll need you to cause a distraction." Cedric looked back to them in the back seat from the driver's seat.

"How do you want us to do it?" Sal leaned forward, resting his elbow on the front passenger seat.

"Cause a 'chemical leak,' and pull the alarm for it." Cedric quoted the words with his fingers.
"They have alarms for that specific thing that can sense a leak, but there is a switch to activate it manually. I don't need you to make an actual mess, just pull the alarm to draw them out because nine out of ten, a majority of the people we don't need to be caught by are all in the room we need to get into."
Cedric explained, his eyes bouncing from the building and to the boys, like he was watching for anyone who may come out to see what they were doing.

"I can trust that you boys don't need any help to sneak back out of the room before the crowd joins you, right?"

"Of course." Sal sat up a bit smugly, looking like he was ready for whatever was going to be thrown at him.

"You ready to cause some havoc, boys?" He looked back to Milo, Will and Nick.

"Yeah!" Milo smiled, about to hop out the car until he was stopped by Cedric speaking.

"This may be a close one, I was hoping for one of you to be with me to help get them out. But they all may already know all of your faces." Cedric trailed while he scanned over everyone in the car, like he was looking for someone who may work. But knowing it may be too risky.

Savannah whipped out a small bag, seemingly out of nowhere, unzipping it quickly. She pulled down the sun visor for the little mirror, and begun to apply some things to her face.

"Savannah, this is no time to do your make up!" Milo stated in annoyance, rolling his eyes.

"Don't underestimate make up, M." She said while keeping her eyes locked onto the mirror, adding some sort of lip stick to her lips.

"What are you doing?" Sal questioned, narrowing his eyes at her, seemingly confused why she chose now to be the time to do this.

"I'll go with Mr. Bates to get the boys, you three, go do what you need to do." She answered simply.

"Three?" Nick sat up in his seat some more, looking at Savannah questionably.

"Someone has to stay behind to watch Clay." She pulled her lip gloss away from her face, and turned her eyes towards them.
"I feel with all four of you, it would just be over kill. Your job requires stealth, not a crowd. It's even kinda pushing it for the three of you." She returned back to her mirror, grabbing something else from her bag.

"I'm not going with you..?" I asked shyly, directed more to Savannah. Seeing her eyes glance down towards me from my quiet question.

"It's too risky for you to come along." Cedric spoke up in place of Savannah.
"She's right, it's best for you to stay behind with some sort of company, encase anything happens over here."

I looked down to my hands.
I wanted to go, I wanted to go see Parker and Alton. I wanted to see what was happening in that building. But they won't let me.. I'm going to be bored and anxiously waiting to know what happens, If they are okay or not. I won't even know if as soon as they go in, if something happens.
Plus, they said I would be left behind with someone. Don't let it be Milo! The last time I was stuck with him wasn't the most comfortable time for me and it caused a huge argument.
