1.123 "No!"

Dad looked at his watch "We have 10 minutes. 10 minutes before Gerard's people flag this vehicle. Once that happens, we'll be seen as a potential threat "

Malia "then what?"

I breathed out "then we're screwed"

I looked at Lydia.

She was touching the back window.

I asked confused "You okay, Lyds?"

Lydia snapped out of whatever she was in and nodded "Yeah"

I raised an eyebrow.

She just nodded.

Dad "We should call off this mission"

Scott "Brett and Lori are gone, Jiang and Tierney are still missing. Gerard's always one step ahead of us. We have to do this now"

Dad sighed "We're too exposed, Scott"

Malia "you said we had 10 minutes"

Dad looked at his watch "9"

Scott grabbed the handle of the door.

Me "Scotty?"

Scott "i'm gonna lure them away so that we can get inside"

Malia slapped his hand away and blocked the door.

Scott "we need a new plan"

Malia "not a dumb one"

Scott "I'll bring the termite charges"

Malia "we need them for the Armory"

Dad "Explosion will buy you time, but not enough to get in and out safely"

Lydia looked out of a window "Guys..."

Malia "how about using the tunnels?"

Me "Lia, Gerard is one of the best hunters you might ever meet in your life. He's not dumb"

Dad "we could get underneath the building, but we'd still need to sneak in undetected. "

Lydia "guys.."

Scott "the ventilation system? "

Dad "same problem"

Lydia "Guys, they're leaving"

I looked out and saw cars driving off"they did it"

Inside.

We made our way inside.

Dad paint-balled the security cameras.

Malia knocked out a hunter.

Dad "The termite charges will take care of the weapons. Just make sure you're clear before they detonate, okay?"

Dad handed Scott a bag. Dad and Lydia left for the security room. Scott and Malia went one way and i went another one.

I walked the stairs down into the basement. I turned around a corner. A guy with a gun stood there.

I rolled my eyes and took a deep breath "Hi"

He aimed the gun at me.

His eyes went wide "You!"

I waved, smiling "yeah, me"

He pulled the trigger but i speeded to the side.

He "you killed my friends"
