"This won't hold, it's wood," Zayn says.

"At least we have a better line of shot," Andrew says.

They wait until the gunshots stop until they all peer out and start shooting themselves, gunning down the soldiers.

They all jump over the table and then advance until they come across two hallways, one to the left and one to the right.

"Okay, we don't have enough time before more show. I will go with the Elites. Danai, you and the rest are together. You guys find the armory, we will go find Lauren and Camila," Andrew says.

"Be safe, Andrew," Danai says.

He steps closer to her and plants a kiss on her lips, whispering 'I love you' before everyone parts ways.

Andrew and the Elites wind through the halls, opening doors to check the rooms, and gunning soldiers down.

Then they run into a glass door and they peer out to see it's a yard and there's a stage set up, someone tied to a pole... And also a bunch of soldiers, guns at the ready.

Andrew looks close and he now notices that it's Lauren tied to the pole.

"It's Lauren!" Andrew says.

Zayn peers out and sighs. "And a shit ton of soldiers," He says.

"Do you spot any cover?" Gerald asks.

Andrew looks around and to the right of him down the hall is another door that has an exit sign above it.

"This way," Andrew says.

He and the Elites run down the hall and burst through the door to see that it's another entrance to the back as there is a low wall with bushes and that's where they hide.

"How do they approach this?" Zayn asks.

Andrew peers around to see that soldiers are guarding Lauren who seems to be knocked out as her head is hanging down.

Andrew narrows his eyes and hums as he scans his surroundings.

"Andrew, look," Zayn taps his shoulder.

Andrew turns around and sees that there's an opening in the bushes.

"How fucking convenient," Andrew speaks lowly. He swings his assault rifle around his shoulders and takes out his revolver, checking the barrel. "Six shots," He whispers. Andrew grips it and enters the opening. "Once you hear me shoot my revolver, you shoot, kill them all," Andrew says.

"We'll be at the ready," Zayn says.

Andrew nods, turns around, and gets into a prone position so he can crawl further into the bushes, making sure to not make the leaves rattle as much.

He stops crawling and moves aside some leaves to peer out.

Andrew narrows his eyes and sees that there's a soldier a couple of feet away from him.

Andrew grips his pistol and aims it right at the soldier. He takes a deep breath to steady himself before shooting.

The bullet pierces the soldier on the side of the head and at that, gunshots join the faint ones inside.

Andrew bursts out of the bushes not giving two fucks about the scratches the branches give him as he guns down two soldiers hiding behind the stage, that we're safely hidden from the rest but not from him.

Then, one last gunshot ripples the air before everything goes silent as Andrew and the Elites wait to hear the sound of pounding boots from inside.
