xiv. fast and furious.

   The thinly veiled defence from Ellie didn't go unnoticed by the brunette who shifted her focus back to Jesse in order to hinder her growing smiles progress. Now wasn't the time to rejoice. "Yeah, they're more of a 'shoot first and not even bother to ask questions later' kind of people."

   "Tell me you didn't come alone." Ellie pleaded with him though as she knew Jesse all too well, she was already certain of his answer. She loved Jesse but his carefree personality would get him into hot water someday.

Jesse glanced her way briefly before stating, "Give me shit about it later."

The redheads eyes almost rolled into the back of her head at her friends' antics. "You're a fucking idiot, you know that, right?"

   "Yeah." Jesse chuckled, crouching down by a boarded up window, peaking out through the small crack. He was followed closely by Ellie and Danielle who kneeled down beside him. "Alright, see that truck?"

   Both girls shifted their gaze to focus on a greyish blue, two door pickup truck that sat off in the distance. What they also noticed was the soldiers that were stationed nearby as they searched for the 'trespassers'.

   Ellie's pupils shook as she gaped at her raven-haired friend with a look that could only be described as stupefied. Surely he couldn't mean what she thought he meant, right? "That's your plan?"

"We need to get some distance."

   As the Jeon man spoke, never had Danielle heard something so preposterous in her entire life. Ellie wanting to go after the WLF in their home turf, crazy yeah. Dina tagging along even though she knew she was pregnant? Confusing as hell but stealing a vehicle from soldiers while they patrolled the area? Some part of the medic was sure Jesse had been dropped on his head as a baby.

   "And you want us to steal their truck from right under their noses? How the hell are we supposed to do that?" Her voice was quiet was fierce as she stared at Jesse who didn't seem phased by her reaction at all.

   "Oh, ye of little faith." Jesse smirked before he shuffled on ahead, never taking his eyes off of the WLF that prowled around just outside the house.

   "Please tell me you know how to drive." The brunettes gaze fell upon Ellie as she whispered to the freckled girl. Jesse didn't exactly evoke much confidence within Danielle and his devil may care attitude didn't help the situation. "I don't trust Jesse behind the wheel of a car."

   The look of genuine fear in Danielle's eyes almost made Ellie not want to answer her but alas she settled for a reluctant, "Just don't think about it."

   "So you don't." The brunette practically whimpered in defeat. If they somehow got past the guards, she would be putting her life in the hands of Jesse and that hadn't exactly been on her list of things to do that day. The Linden girl internally groaned in frustration at her situation while following closely behind the auburn-haired Ellie.

   The trio ducked out of view as they exited the building, falling down behind some already placed barriers that helped in concealing them from the nearby soldiers who chatted amongst themselves. "What the hell are we searching for?"

"Trespassers." The female soldier replied, her voice stern and cold.

   The man was evidently angry at the mess of the city the girls had made as he growled out his reply. "This shit again? We need more guys by the fucking walls."
