And that’s how we almost got our asses blown up!

I had managed to pull Sora up the vents just in time before the bomb went off. The vents shook with the blast, but thankfully it was able to withstand the blast due to its height and distance from the door.

We were now practically crawling for our lives.

They must have figured out we’re in the vents by now.

“Excuse me, but… do you know where we are?” Sora’s mouth spoke logic but her face dreads panic.

“Yeah, it’s just up ahead.” As we crawled, the silence became deafening. It served as a constant reminder that this plan could go south at any moment.

I can’t think straight…

What if we get caught? I almost missed our turn just thinking of the endless possible ways that we could both still die today.

“We’re here.” With my hands shaking like a leaf, I hastily started removing the vent's cover. “Here’s what we’ll do.” I took the gun from my pocket and handed it to Sora.

“We only have one. So try to aim for the head.”

Sora’s hand quivered nervously as she unconvincing took the gun and gave me her word. Nothing more could be expected at this point. After removing the covers, we fell down from the vent after peering out to check that no one was around.

Zod was right.

We proceeded to exit 4, but when we got to the door a worker was present on the inside.

“What is he doing here?

I looked at his Uniform and saw he was a Craftsman.

We have no time for this!

I busted the door open and commanded him to get his hands behind his head and back up against the wall. There were two jets before us.

“Which one is it?”

I keenly looked down to scan the two jet codes and saw that one of the initials was M.Z

“This one.” I pointed. “Sora, get in!” I handed her the briefcase and threw the knapsack in the two-seater jet.

“You there…”

I pointed the gun towards him and said. “I don’t want to hurt you. Just get exit the room, close the door behind you and get out of the building.” The man straightaway assented and headed towards the outside. As he closed the door and was safely on the other side, I shot the doors control panel, and then he craftily took out his communicator to inform authorities.

“Yes, hello officers.” He started.

F**king Bitch!

“I think some lawbreakers are here. They are down here in Exit 4! And they’re attempting to steal a jet. Also, one of them wasn’t wearing a City I.D.”

“Sora, start the Jet!”

“I…” She hesitated. “I don’t know how to do that.”

I ran to the jet, quickly got inside and started to look around.

What the hell is this?

The insides looked nothing like training. I couldn’t make sense the controls.

“Down here officers!”

Absolutely flabbergasted we turned to each other like clockwork…

“They’re here…”

I'll open up my heart to you,

We are in love, that much is true. 

Let it out, Oh let me cry

As these tears fall from my eye,
