The pain in your shoulder as Newt carries you was unbearable. You have never felt such pain in your life. You then hear the strangest thing. You start to hear music. Somehow you knew the name, "Walking After Midnight" by Patsy Cline.

You could tell you were heading up to Jorge's office. "Brenda! Hurry!" came Jorge's voice. "Jorge, she's wounded." Brenda told him as she pointed to you who was in Newt's arms. You were losing blood and fast. The piece of Newt's shirt wasn't helping much. "We don't have much time." Jorge said. 

"Get her backpack!" Newt yelled over the music. "What?" Jorge yelled back. "She has a first-aid kit in there. We can help her." 
"Hurry, hermano. You're lucky we need her."

Newt set you down on the couch while he ran to get your backpack. He came back and pulled out the first-aid kit. He took out a pair of tweezers. "This is gonna hurt, princess. But, you'll be all right." he assured you. You nodded. He tried to get an angle at the bullet that was stuck in your shoulder. 

Brenda got impatient and pulled the tweezers out of his hands and quickly got the angle and pulled the bullet out. You screamed louder than the music in pain. "Is there any hydrogen peroxide in there?" Brenda asked. Newt nodded and took out a small bottle and handed it to her. Brenda poured some of the clear liquid on your wound and it bubbled and fizzed, which made you moan in pain.

Newt quickly took out some bandages and gave them to Brenda. She ripped off a long piece and wrapped it around your shoulder. "Can you stand?" she asked. You nodded. 

As you did, you felt really dizzy. You almost fell over again, but you used all your leg muscle strength to keep yourself supported.  "Let's go!" Jorge yelled. 

"Right this way." he opened a window, revealing a wire. "Oh, you've got to be kiddin' me." said Frypan. "Plan B, hermano." Jorge replied. "You kids want to get to the Right Arm? I'll lead you to them. But, you're gonna owe me."

He then grabbed a sling and yelled "Follow me!" and rode the wire like a zip-line. Brenda grabbed another sling. "Alright, let's go!"
Minho grabs the sling, then she hands one to Newt. "Y/N. Can you do this with your shoulder? I can carry you." he said. "Thanks, but-"

You see Brenda turn tail and run. You then run after her without finishing your sentence. "Brenda!" you run after her. Newt was about to run after  you, but Teresa swung into him, causing him to go with her.

As you catch up to her, you find her rummaging through a bunch of stuff. Thomas then appeared behind you. "Brenda, come on. What are you doing?" you yell. "We gotta go!" yelled Thomas.

"I got it!" Brenda yelled as she held something silver in her hand. 
"-Come on!" you yell.

As you turn around, you see men from WICKED in black jumpsuits. "Shit." you say. Brenda took out a hand gun and shot at the men. "Go! Go!" she yells. You turn and run, hearing gunshots. The loud noises in unison being so loud it almost burst your eardrums you partially covered your ears, though it hurt to do so because of your shoulder wound. 

You ran down the hallway, dodging more bullets. "Come on hurry!" Brenda yelled. "We're running out of time."

You run down a flight of stairs. You hear a soldier behind you and lights shining in the corner of your eye. You were surrounded when you got to the bottom behind Brenda. "Here. Follow me!" she said stepping on to the side onto a beam. "Come on!" she yelled. You then step on the beam, as you hear one of the soldiers say "Stop! Stay right where you are."
"-Thomas! Come on." you yell. Thomas looks at you, then follows you onto the beam. 

You follow Brenda. When you get halfway across, Thomas yells "Brenda, where are we going?". Brenda got to the end of the beam, over a railing. "Hurry, the song's almost over."  she says.
You quickly made it to the end of the beam and over the railing right as the song stopped and sparks  started flying around you, causing explosions.

"Come on!" Brenda yelled at Thomas as the pillars that were supporting the beam started to fall. "Thomas! Come on!" you yell. He jumps over the railing just in time. You started running as everything behind you started to fall. 

"Jump!" Brenda screamed. You did so, jumping onto a cord or cable of some sort and sliding down. 

Once you got to the bottom, you jumped out of the way before the scraps and debris from the explosion came down on you. The three of you coughing in unison.

Everything was pitch black.
