The woman tightened her legs from being at my sides to completely wrapped around my waist.

"It's ok. Just one at a time." My words hit deaf ears as I took another step down. My gloves digging into small nooks until I could feel my nails hurting.

"Slow." She comforted. Once we got to the level of one of the glowsticks she hesitantly took one arm off of my neck to grab it. She reached behind her to put it in her pocket.

Shouting of men was heard above us.

"Hurry König!" Soap barked in a hushed tone. Looking up I could see the faint outline of flashlights.

"König!" Y/n said in a panicked tone.

"Calm." I whispered as I shuffled down another level.

"Their almost here!" Her panicked whispers echoing in my ear.

We reached the second glowstick. She grabbed it quickly, almost forgetting where she was as I felt her arm almost slip from my neck. I grabbed her thigh and shuffled her up.

She tightened her grasp even more.

"Hurry.. please." She begged. My chest tightened in panic but I knew not to rush this.

We were at the 16 ft mark. Judging by the lighting of the flashlights above us there were right there.

"Hold on!" I whispered quickly as I separated myself from the ledge. The 4 foot fall felt long, feeling as if we did fall the full 20 ft. Y/n gave a small scream.

We landed heavily in the dusty sand. Y/n fell detached from my back as I heard her scramble to look up.

Quickly I gathered my bearings as I grabbed Y/n from the back around her waist as I dragged her to the cliffside.

"Hey!" She protested. I quickly covered her mouth with a glove. We hugged against the wall. Almost on queue a flashlight brightened up the bottom of the cliff. The large spacing between the trees and the cliff face was disturbing.

Y/n noticed the flashlight as she tucked her legs closer to her. My arms tightened around her as I prayed they wouldn't find us.

The rock digging uncomfortably into my neck reminded me how one small movement out of place would put us in the spot.

We were barely in the shadows. Luckily the small ledge above us hid us perfectly.

"Please please.." My breathy whispered begging as I leaned my head into Y/n's hair, focusing deeply on the light.

It slowly scanned the area, flashing at the trees before flashing back at the rocks.

The flashlight disappeared from the edge.

"Now!" I hissed quietly as I hoisted the girl to her feet as I charged for the tree line. I dove into the deep ferns of the under growth, Y/n right behind me.

She pushed up against me as we hugged up against a tree.

"Damnit. Head for the tree line." Soap ordered. Everyone was hidden among the trees.

There was a thin patch of forest one the whole side of the plateau. Beyond it was a full dessert with building scattered around.

Y/n knew this area best.

We all pressed up against the trees as we looked across the flat ground. I turned to Y/n, placing my hands on her shoulders.

"Y/n. Where can we go from here?" My tone serious and hushed. Everyone looking out.

"Make it quick, their lights are gone. That means they are on the move." Soap spoke up.

She gazed into my eyes. "There should be a warehouse south. 3 miles. It's Zakiel's but it shouldn't be occupied.. unless." She glanced up towards the top of the cliff. "It's in use."

That's Zakiel's men.

They need Y/n back.

If they catch us we will lose everything Y/n is worth to us. Without her we have no chance of getting those bombs or a chance to get Xavier.

"Black SUV! Coming from the west!" Gaz shouted in a hushed tone. Everyone crouched down.

The SUV stopped.

My arms wrapped around Y/n as we crouched down, avoiding the bright headlights.

Shuffling came up behind us.

It was Price.

"Y/n, those are your men." He stated, aiming his gun towards the van.

"I know that." She whispered as she slipped from my arms and onto her stomach.

"Make your next move carefully." Price growled. Her dark eyes scanning the situation.

She seemed torn. I felt torn. I didn't want her to leave my arms, let alone my side in any situation. One of the men had stepped out of the vehicle, leaving the door open to expose the driver.

I didn't want her to leave. If they take her away from us- from me- I wouldn't leave anything left of them until I got her back.

"I'll go. I'll handle the man getting out, you guys just handle the driver." She shifted to be in a crouch.

"What!?" I hissed. "Y/n, no-"

She stood up out of my reach before stepping out of the wood's cover.
