Hey Guy's. So, I want this chapter to be as satisfying as possible. So I will be switching POV's between characters to cover all bases. Hope you like it!!

Elizabeth's POV

Dawns voice reaches my ears and a weak grin spreads across my face.

I guess I forgot I still had the gang behind me after what happened with Braun. 

This is the first time I let myself come to terms with the fact that he betrayed me after so many years of trust and friendship.

The realisation hurts a lot more than my face does right now. And trust me. That's really saying something.

Shots are fired but my head is still too fuzzy to react to anything.

I catch a glimpse of the brute as he runs towards the door he came from, all the while firing shots to cover his ass.

He makes it out alive and I silently hum in approval. It's a good thing they missed, because I want to kill him myself.

"Izzy!!"

"Izzy!!"

Someone calls out my name. And I'm a bit  confused.

No one calls me that except...

My eyes widen and I'm suddenly more alert than before as I whisper.

"Ethan."

That idiot came.

And those even bigger idiots let him.

He runs to my side, and begins rambling hysterically as he unstraps me from the stray jacket and chair.

"Oh Izzy. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have left. I should have done something. I thought I lost you again. I'm really...." He keeps going.

My head feels like It'll explode any second and I'm moaning in pain but he keep going. So I do the next best thing and kiss him. Hard.

Takes him a second or two, but he kisses me back.

"What was that for?"  He asks breathlessly when we pull away, looking flustered.

"My head hurts. You wouldn't shut up." I mumble.

"I'm sorry." He says looking guilty.

"How do I look?" I ask him. Managing a small smile.

He looks closely at my face and I his features harden. But he just forces a smile on his face as he answers.

"Gorgeous babe. As always."

I can't help but feel all warm inside.  Our stare begins to intensify and his eyes drop to my lips.

Our faces start to come together subconsciously, as though being controlled by some kind of magnetic force. Everything disappears and all the noise drowns out.

Just as our lips are about to meet again, Derek yells out.

"Yo love birds!! We're in the middle of a fucking shoot out not a bora bora Honey moon getaway. Snap out of it!"

And just like that our perfectly peaceful bubble pops. All the noise floods back in, and there's chaos everywhere.

Derek and Dawn are holding the bad guys off at the  entrance. But by the look of things, not for long.

I look at Ethan who seems to have realized how dangerous the situation is because he suddenly looks pale.

Adrenaline courses through my veins as I realize he's here. And in danger if Jeremy gets his hands in him.

I jump up on my feet and immediately get hit by a dizzy spell. But it wares of quickly.

"What do you have on you?" I ask Ethan. Noticing his backpack.

"Oh! Yeah." He exclaims. Bringing his attention back to me.

"I have your gear on me. Here."  He says. Handing me the bag.

I take it and pull out my stuff.

When I'm completely geared up I yell to Derek over the noise.

"What's the plan?"

He looks a bit sheepish before replying.

"Hey, we only had time for a getting in plan. I just thought we'll freestyle the getting out part."

"What! Do you know who the hell we're up against?"

I'm about to tell them when the speakers come to life.

"Ah. Delta 1. Nice for you to come visit."

"Is that. Jeremy?"  Dawn asks, looking confused and terrified.

"Good to know you haven't forgotten the sound of my voice." He responds smugly.

"What the fuck chief. What is this?" Derek yells. Looking angry but equally confused.

"Well its simple. This is the part where you stick your noses where it doesn't belong and die for it. A shame though. You where my favorites. 

Don't tell anyone I said that. Not like you'll get the chance."

"Fuck you  Jeremy." Derek says in a low but deadly voice.

"It was nice knowing ya." He finishes.

Then silence.

Complete silence.

"Well this doesn't seem so bad. Thought we'll blow up by now or something." Ethan says. breaking the silence.

We suddenly hear what sounds like a hundred heavy footsteps approaching the room. And they seem to be moving very quickly.

We all turn to give Ethan a flat look. He just had to open his mouth.

"Spoke too soon didn't I?" Ethan asks sheepishly.

I peep through the door and my eyes go wide when I realize what is going on.

"Fuck. A bloody firing squad. They wanna bury us in  bullets." I whisper yell.

I look around for an escape when i spot the hole in the ceiling. Perfect.

"Guys let's climb out. Hurry!"

Derek pulls a table under the  hole and climbs on top.

"Isn't this Zack!" Dawn asks out of the blue. I guess she just noticed the body.

"Ask me later." I reply stiffly. She let's it drop.

"Come on Ethan. Climb." Derek instructs. Cupping his hands to give him a boost.

Ethan climbs up the table and uses Derek's hands as a boost to grip the hole. He pulls himself up and seconds later he sticks his head out.

"Clear guys!"

"Alright. Dawn." Derek says.

When we are all up, we stretch down to get  Derek.

He grabs unto mine and Ethan's hands, and we begin to pull him up when multiple shots are fired. 

When we finally get him through the hole I breath out in relief. The shots are still being fired. Indicating they don't know we got out.

"Let's move out." I say. But no one makes a move.

I look at the guys and they both have grim looks on their faces.

"What's going ..." My voice trails of as I notice for the first time the dead eyed look on Derek's face. Also the small crimson puddle underneath him.

With trembling fingers I go to turn him over and his back is covered in blood.

He's dead

"Oh God." I whisper. My eyes welling up.

"No." I add in disbelief.

I'm hoping he'll open his eyes and laugh in my face. Telling me it's another one of his pranks and he won this round. But nothing happens.

He just keeps staring back at me.

And in that moment, I'm completely and utterly consumed by rage.

                             ***********

Ethan's POV

Dawn begins to sob and my heart breaks for them.

I watch the emotions play out on Izzy's face and tears threaten to leave my eyes. But I wount let it.  I'll be strong for her.

She closes his eyes with her palm and kisses his forehead.

"Let's move. They'll come for us soon." She says coldly.

"Izzy I'm sorr...." I begin to say. But she cuts me off.

"When we get to the hallway you'll leave with dawn.  I have loose ends to tie up here."
She adds in an even colder voice.

I've never seen her like this. She looks like a caged rabid animal. And I had a feeling she was about to let that beast out it's cage.

"Let's go." Dawn says without any protest.

We get back to the elevator and down to the first floor with no restrictions. But we find a small army at the entrance.

"How did you guts get in?" She asks.

"Through a waste pipe passage." Dawn answers.

"Take that way out. I'll distract them."

"No." I immediately say.

"You are not going out there. Come with us." I plead more gently.

She doesn't budge.

"When they realize we are not coming towards the front entrance they'll swarm every other way out.  I'll circle back to the pipes."

"Just go. Now." She adds.

She has a good point, but I can't help my worry. I walk closer to her and cup her face in my hand.

"Come back Izzy. If I loose you for real this time I'll come find you on the other side. I promise." I whisper in her ear.

In that moment I see her. The Izzy I met 9years ago.

But she's gone in seconds and is replaced by Red. 

Crazy part is I don't care if she changed. I certainly wasn't the same person anymore. But my feelings remained the same.

"I love you." I whisper softly.

She looks in my eyes and she makes a promise I have no doubt she's going to keep.

"I'll come back. I promise"

She turns to leave and I watch as she walks headfirst towards the wall of armed men at the front door. The red flowing curls on her head looking like fire, a perfect reflection of her soul.

Taking out what seems to be a grenade. She pulls the pin out with her teeth and tossed it at them.

There's an explosion, closely followed by gun shots.

She turns and runs in the opposite direction from us. And like she predicted they follow.

"She'll be fine." Dawn says from behind me.

I reply without looking at her. Still staring after Izzy.

"I know."

             **********************

I'm so sad about Derek.  It took me so long to decide to let him go😭😭😭.

Well Red is really pissed off and out for revenge.

Find out how far she will go to get what she wants in tomorrow's update.   Thanks❤❤
