Inside

We were all in our wicked uniforms and everyone had gone their separate ways to execute the plan. We were inside the city and inside the Wicked building. Thomas and Teresa had just entered and Newt would be joining them soon. Gally and I walked through the garage with our guns in hand, staying silent and acting like proper guards.

Thomas, Teresa came into view on the other side of a window so we slipped in front of them. Teresa let us through the door with her thumb print and we came out to a stairway where some boxes of electrical wires were.

"Hold on. Hold on." Gally said, stopping the other three from walking down the stairs. "I can get in here." He lifted his mask up to look at the boxes.

"Stay here. Throw me the walkie." Thomas said and Gally passed him it. He ran down the stairs to check for guards.

Newt leant on the stair rail and lifted his mask up. His face was sweating and extremely pale. He began to cough violently so I walked over to him.

"You okay, Goldie?" I asked resting a hand on his shoulder.

"No- no, not really." He choked out.

Out of the corner I saw Teresa staring like a hawk.

"What do you want?" I spat before turning Newt away from her.

"We are going to make sure you make it out of this wretched city. I-"

"Don't make promises you might not be able to keep." Newt cut me off, "I- urm, I have something for you."

"Okay. What is it?" I smiled reassuringly.

He dug a hand into his pocket and pulled out a small envelope.

"Read-" He coughed, "Read it once you get out of here."

"Sure thing." I slipped it into my pocket.

Gally was still working on the fuze box when Thomas jogged back up the stairs.

"Frypan, we're in. How you doing?" He said through the walkie-talkie.

"Yeah- yeah, I'm getting there." Frypan's muffled voice responded, "Tell Minho I said hi."

"Hang in there buddy." Thomas said.

I walked over to Gally.

"How's it going?"

"Good. Nearly..." He opened the box, "done."

"Will it work?" I asked.

He read a label and nodded, "This'll work."

"Brenda, what's your status?" Thomas spoke.

"Status is, I'm working on it."

"Copy. Just make sure you're ready on your end."

"Don't worry. You know I'm gonna be there."

Gally set up the transmitter and planted it on the door of the box before slamming shut. The plan was that now Lawrence and the right arm would be able to excess Wicked's database.

"Well done." I highfived him and he chuckled.

"Alright, let's go."

We ran down multiple flights of stairs until we reached the level we needed to be on. The door slowly opened and I cocked my gun. A wicked officer stood there and I shot him right in the chest causing electricity to crackle through his body as he fell to the floor.

We continued on to the main room, shooting anyone we saw that was in Wicked uniform. Everything went silent once we got them all and each of us rushed to a separate door. I opened one and behind it there were lots of worried boys.

"Hello, boys." I smiled while taking off my mask, "Come on, let's go!" They rushed out after me.

Gally knelt down to an injured guard and held a pistol to his neck.

"The vault. How do I get in?"

"You can't."

Gally shoved him to the side and ran to the vault door to examine it. I stood next to him as he ran his finger over the lock.

"Guys," he turned, "This might take some time."

"Shit!" Thomas growled, "He's not here."

"What do you mean he's not here?" I walked over to Teresa, "Where is he?" I spat while holding her shirt in my fists.

"I-I don't know." She stuttered.

"For shuck's sake! Teresa, where is he?"

"Y/n, princess, let her go. Let Thomas talk to her." Gally appeared behind me and pulled me back over to the vault door.

While Thomas and Teresa talked, Gally placed both his hands on my shoulders.

"Since when did you get so angry? I was supposed to be the one with the anger issues."

"I have a lot of emotions to express." I laughed and rolled my shoulders back so he would let go.

"I can tell." He pulled some things out of his bag to work on the door.

"Y/n, you coming?" Thomas shouted. "Minho's on the other side of the building."

"I don't know.. I should probably stay with Ga-"

"Just go. Go get Minho." He nodded and I smiled.

"Thanks, Gall." I kissed him before running over to Thomas and Newt.

"Hey, Greenie."

Thomas turned.

"Good luck. Take care of my girlfriend, please."

"Gally," I swivelled round but continued to walk, "Don't start getting overprotective again! See you later."

He chuckled, "Bye!"

We followed close behind Teresa and came up to a lift. I pressed the 'up' button and waited for it. Finally it came and we walked in. Just before the doors could close an arm slipped threw and Janson waltzed in.

"Hold it." He pressed the level he wanted to go to and Thomas' grip on his gun tightened.

"You're working late. See, that's what I like about you, Teresa. No matter how bleak things get, you just...Well, you never give up. Times like this, you need a friend that you can count on."

"I'll bear that in mind." She replied.

"There is one thing you should know. One friend to another. Thomas is here."

My breath hitched and I looked at the two boys beside me who just shrugged.

"A surveillance picked him up outside the walls. Ava didn't want you to know, but there is a chance that he may try to contact you, and if he does..Well, I'd like to think that I'd be your first call."

Teresa looked at him, "Are you going to kill him?"

"Would that be a problem?"

Before she could answer the ping of the lift went off and the doors opened.

"This is me."

All three of us kept behind her as she walked away. The lift doors closed as we turned the corner, leaving Janson in there.

"Thomas, you have to listen to me. Getting that serum won't save Newt. It might buy him some time, but-"

"But, just shut up." I said.

"Yeah, just ignore her. She's trying to get inside your head." Newt shoved her forward.

"Thomas, listen you know what's going on out there. People are dying. The world is dying. There's something about y/n's and yours blood that I don't understand."

We came to a door.

"Open it." Thomas snarled, completely ignoring what she said.

"If you both let me run some tests.." She pleaded and the door opened and we went in, "I promise I can protect you."

"Your grubby hands ain't touching me." I mumbled.

"Yeah? Like you protected Minho?" Thomas ripped his mask off and got in her face.

"What are you doing?" Newt asked but he was just shrugged off.

"How many more people do they have to round up, torture, kill? Huh? When the hell does it stop?"

"It stops when we find a cure."

"There is no goddamn cure!"

"Don't waste your breath, Teresa." Janson appeared behind her with a pistol held up. I readied my gun.

"He made his choice long ago."

"Drop it, kid!" Guards we're running at us from all directions.

Thomas grabbed Teresa and pushed a gun into her neck, threatening to shoot. Of course he wouldn't, he was still secretary attached to her.

"Back up. Tell them to back off."

"Tell them to back off!" I shouted.

"Hey, y/n, Thomas, come on. It's me. I've known you longer than you can remember. Y/n, I've worked along side your mother for years. Thomas, you're not gonna shoot her."

"You don't think so?"

"Okay, come on then." Janson let his arm drop to his side, "Shoot her. Prove me wrong. Shoot her!"

Teresa got out of Thomas's grip and pushed us all backwards before shutting the door, locking us away from Janson. He shot the door in several attempts to get to us but it was no use. He flattened himself against the door while banging on it.

I smirked and flicked him off before walking away.
