30: Afraid

"Get down!" I yell as lean up against a short wall before the helicopter can recognize us.

"Well, they're definitely pissed." Gally pants and I crutch my knees.

"Good. I got them right where I want em." I say through gritted teeth as I toss my gloves away.

"How far are the tunnels?" Thomas asks Gally.

"Uh, maybe twelve blocks from here." Gally says and Newt starts coughing.

I watch him cough once again with teary eyes. My hands starts shaking as I look down at the gun in my hand.

"We can make it." Gally tells me and I look at him, he just nods at me.

"Newt, how are you feeling?" Minho asks as I crouch beside him.

"Terrible." He answers. "It's good to see you, though." Newt says, putting a hand on Minho's shoulder.

"Newt, just hang on, okay? I can't lose you, too. Not now, not ever. Just hold on, for me." I plead to him.

"You have no idea how much I hate it when you cry." Newt heaves to me and my lips tremble as Minho quickly rubs my back and goes over to Thomas and Gally.

"Newt, please." I beg him.

"You cannot be afraid. Now, wipe your shucking tears and fight." He tells me while coughing.

"Like you use to say, it's easier said than done." I tell him.

"How long has he been like this?" I hear Minho asks and I sigh, shaking my head.

"He'll be okay. We just gotta get to Brenda. She's got the serum." I say and the boys looks at me as I take off my jacket, reveling Newt's brown hoodie.

"Alana-"

"C'mon, let's go." I say, cutting Gally off as I run back over to Newt. "Hey, Newt. C'mon, babe. We gotta get you up. Let's go." I say as I help him up, but he quickly loses his balance. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! You okay?" I say as I wrap my hands around his torso.

"Yeah." He tells me and I nod as he finally gets steady on his feet.

"Why you helping us, Gally?" I hear Minho ask. "I put a spear through your chest." He tells him.

"Yeah. You're Alana's wingman. You had to. Nobody's perfect, man." Gally tells him and I hold back a tiny grin as Gally rushes over.

"Fuck!" I yell as we all duck and look at the huge fire explosion set on the building.

"We're supposed to take down WICKED, not the whole damn city." Gally says as we watch the fire get brighter.

"Gally, c'mon." I tell him as Minho and I hold Newt's arms around our shoulders.

"I'll take over. I got it." Thomas says and I nod, letting Newt's and go around his shoulder and we start to run again.

                                             ||

"Tunnels are right up ahead." Gally tells us as we turn a corner. "Shit! Hey! Stay low! Stay low!" He then says as we all crouch down, hiding up against the concrete wall.

I the carefully go around the other side of me and I peek my head through to see a car stop.

"Shit!" I exclaim, quickly turning back to the guys.

"Damn it!" Gally whispers as he sits back down.

"What are they waiting for?" Minho whispers and I look at him.
