We were all finally grouped up and we head back to where the entrance was. Sure enough, they were able to get Melanie and Phoebe here.
"Heya, cutie!"
"We've missed you."
"Yeah, good to see y'all too. First off, good job on getting some guards with us. We would've really been in the shit if you two hadn't pulled through."
"Of course-"
"We always do a good job for you, baby."
I feel myself blush even though I really don't want to. I'm with Lizzie... Lizzie...
"Have y'all seen Lizzie?"
"Uhm... No."
"We haven't seen her since the mission briefing."
Damn! Where are you, Lizzie?
"Okay, well we can't stay here much longer. The longer we stay the more of a chance a guard in Mallory's favor will expose us. We need guards on Carter's side to be on all cameras that see the Special Forces barracks. We will also need escorts for each of us separately to head there."
"No problem, sweetie."
"Yeah, but only if-"
"We can give you a special escort ourselves."
I roll my eyes...
"We don't need to play games here."
"And we don't need to help you."
"Let us have our reasonable request."
"And we'll give you a job well done."
"Nathaniel, just go with them."
"Ugh! Fine, Marcus. Y'all just don't try anything stupid."
The two smile. They grab my arms and pull me outside. Melanie, the dark blue-haired one, begins to make orders through her exoskeleton on a call. She's getting more Steel Guards to report at the solitary confinement and get the others to the Special Forces barracks.
...
Hmm... Where are they-Wait!
"Where are you guys taking me?!"
"Ease your pretty little head."
"We just need to take a short detour."
"You'll still be taken where you're asking."
"What are y'all trying to do? Let go of me!"
"Trust us."
"We aren't turning you in."
"Or hurting you."
"We need to show you something."
"Erm... Fine... I don't really have much of a choice."
...
Finally, we arrive inside of the Orange rank barracks. We go to a room that I assume is theirs. They throw me into a bed! Oh no, what are they planning to do with me?!
"Zsen, we found out about something."
"And we both feel like we need to warn you."
"If you don't think carefully with your next few moves."
"The ones you care about will die."
"Wait, slow down. What are y'all talking about?"
"Lizzie."
The two say in sync.
"Mallory has her and plans on using her to blackmail you guys."
"She also has Joceline but."
