The five of us walked towards the exit. Dustin slightly opened the bathroom door and peered outside. The movie had just ended and everyone was herding out. The plan was to sneak with the crowd and leave the mall to go to the others.

"And...blend." Dustin quickly walked out.

The five of us walked in the middle of the crowd. Everyone was commenting on how good the movie was. I wish we would have actually seen the full movie.

"Well shit, that worked." Erica stated.

"Of course it did." Dustin told her. "We just have to get on the bus with the rest of these plebes, and home sweet home, here we come."

"Uh, Dustin?" Steve nervously scratched the tip of his nose.

"What?"

"Yeah, we might not wanna go to your house." Steve informed.

"Why?"

"Well, I might've told them your full name."

"What is wrong with you?" Dustin turned to face Steve. "Dawn, why did you let him tell them that?"

"Dude, I was drugged." Steve defended himself. "We were both heavily drugged."

"So?" Dustin stated.

"So?" Steve repeated, looking at me with confusion. I shrugged, not knowing where Dustin was getting at.

"So, you resist." Dustin started. "You tough it out. You tough it out like a man."

"Oh, yeah, it's easy for you to say." Steve scoffed.

"Guys?" Robin spoke up, stopping in her tracks.

I grabbed a hold of Erica's and Dustin's shoulders to make them stop. Looking ahead, I saw people having their stuff checked before exiting the mall. Men dressed in black examined their belongings. It was the Russians.

"Abort." Dustin said. One of the Russians turned to look our way. He made contact with me. "Abort. Abort."

We quickly turned around and started to run. I glanced over my shoulder to see the Russian grab his walkie. Something rugged at my sneakers causing me to stumble. Looking down I saw that my laces were still untied. We stopped at the escalators. They had blocked them with ropes.

"Shit." Steve looked behind us.

"We can still use them." I told them.

"Okay." Robin nodded. 

She hopped onto the smooth metal that connected both escalators that resembled a slide. Robin slid down it. Steve quickly followed.

"That wasn't what I meant, but okay." I moved Erica and Dustin to go next.
