In Hiding (Published!)

Chapter 35

  I stood up just minutes after the door closed, "We have to get him back, we have to go in there and fight!" I whisper-yelled, suddenly eager to do so.

  "Casey, that's pretty much suicide." Jess said calmly, joining me by standing.

  "I don't care!" I threw my arms into the air, frustrated. He sighed, "We should think of a reasonable plan." 

  I sighed, plucked myself down against the box again, and put my head in my hands. Jess kneeled down next to me, "We'll get him back, don't worry Casey." He whispered. 

  "How do you know?" 

 "Because look at all we've already accomplished? We got past two guards with just our hands, and a taser. Two adult guards. We've escaped Avrey countless times, we've, well you, defended yourself in the most necessary way," I flinched, "we've all just been through a lot, the bad and the good. And the fact that this is almost over, that it can be over tonight, is enough motivation to work up a plan, and win." He smiled, satisfied, and stood up again.  

  "Okay, what do you got?" I asked, standing up as well, he clicked his tongue, "Nothing yet, but we'll figure something out. What if-" 

  I interrupted him, knowing what he was going to say, "No, we're not getting any law enforcement involved. This is our war. And we're going to finish it." He smiled then, "That's the spirit, Cas'!"

  "What if we make a bunch of noise, and let another one come out here, we take him down, get him out to Sam and the rest of them, and that's one less we have to worry about?" I said, Jess looked at me questioningly, "Let me explain, see, we trick them out, one by one, and sooner than later, they'll be less people in there, then we can head in ourselves, and attack." 

  Jess thought about it for quite awhile, "We could, but what if two comes out?" 

 "Easy, we both have tasers, sneak attack." I shrugged. He didn't seem so out for it, so I sighed, "Do you have anything else, Jess?" I asked, hands on my hips.

  "I think so, how about we look back through that window," he pointed to the tiny window Camual had seen me out of, "see if there's any entry routes, sneak in, by ourselves," He added, as I gave him an annoyed look, "and see what goes on from there? Maybe attack, maybe wait it out for a bit until someone leaves?" He added on different things as he went.

  "I don't know, what if there isn't any routes? I don't really think we should leave here." I told him, motioning to the large area around us.

  "There's nothing for us here, Casey. We can't just walk right in, can we?" He shot back. 

  "We could, but I don't really think it's a good idea." 

  "Really? Because a few minutes ago you were all for it." He teased, hands on his hips. I rolled my eyes, ignoring him.

  "Look, we can't just walk in, we can't just make noise and expect someone to come out, attack, and that would be the end, we can't just try and find a route from the outside in, so what can we do?" I started to pace the floor, Jess watched me with silent eyes.

  "What if we find a route from the inside, out?" I gasped, suddenly coming up with something, "What if we can get in and out, without them noticing? Then take them down?" 

  "Wouldn't from the inside out, be the same thing as an outside in?" Jess asked, a confused look planted on his face. I rolled my eyes, "You're not getting it!" 

  "No, not really.."

  "Look, we need to find a way where we can get in, from here, without using the door. We can get in, then if we need a quick escape, we can get out." I told him, he sighed.
