We’re All Going to Die Here
We’re All Going to Die Here
We can’t just leave Hayden here. How am I supposed to just walk out when Hayden is still stuck there
in the middle of all the enemies?
“We need to help Hayden!” I screamed and my voice came out as an ugly croak.
One of Hayden’s men reached out his hands towards me as if to receive me from the tall man;
however, when the time came, the tall man wouldn’t let me go.
What is going on?
“I see. This was never really about just the money. Well if you’re going to do something, now’s the
time…” Hayden spoke up loudly.
Suddenly, the situation had changed. The man refused to let me go and Hayden was still stuck on the
other side. What is going to happen now?
…
**A few hours before**
“This is just a hypothetical situation but what if they demand to take you in instead of Malissa. You do
know that these guys probably hold some personal grudges against Torex, right?” Ethan asked.
“Simple. You save Malissa. You ignore me and you kill as many of them as possible,” Hayden replied
without hesitation.
“She’s not going to like that. She’ll never leave you or anyone behind,” Ethan replied knowingly.
“I don’t think she’ll be in a position to choose when the time comes. She’s probably at least tied up and
gagged if not also blindfolded,” Hayden replied darkly.
“Probably…” Ethan agreed passively.
“In case she struggles, we’ll use this. It’s painless and has the least side effects…” Hayden explained.
Ethan’s eyes travelled to the liquid substance in the bottle that Hayden was gesturing to before making
a disgusted face.
“Says the doctor…” Ethan muttered.
“Just do as I say. I’m the doctor here,” Hayden replied before grinning wickedly.
“We’ll probably need some major distractions to distract them if they demand for a switch. Best case is
if we can distract them, we all can try to get Malissa out in the confusion, and perhaps, you can escape
in the foray as well,” Ethan suggested.
“Any ideas?” Hayden inquired.
“Hmm…what about something like all walls come crashing down at once?” Ethan suggested excitedly.
Hayden’s eyes widened in surprise at his strange friend while Ethan smiled mischievously.
…
Suddenly, the ground underneath me shook and loud sounds went off just like explosions. The tall man
froze from shocked as he looked around. I did the same before I felt my body being roughly pulled
away. The sound of explosion was deafening, and it didn’t cease. All lights went off and it was suddenly
quite dark. I couldn’t see anything for a while until my eyes started adjusting to the darkness.
“This way, My Lady…” a man yelled into my ear as he dragged me along.
I felt the presence of many men around me as they slowly moved along with me towards the exit of the
warehouse. Then I heard and saw many people running, moving, and screaming all around me. It was
pure chaos. It was too dark for me to see anything more than silhouettes. Where is Hayden?!
Now that my hands and feet were free, I started struggling for real against the man who held me. His
grip was so tight and the more that I struggled while screaming Hayden’s name, his arms tightened
around me as he continued to drag me towards the exit.
“Hayden! Hayden! Hayden is still in there…” I cried out until my throat hurt.
Darkness slowly turned to light as light shined in from above. Confused, I looked up to see the walls of
the warehouse cracking and then breaking before it all started to crumble down. Someone, exploded
the walls?
I stared at the walls and then the ceiling as my mouth dropped open in shock. I wanted to scream but I
couldn’t.
We’re all going to die in here…
…
“All men move in now! Get Malissa and Hayden out. Kill all enemies!” Ethan shouted loudly.
All men charged in and Ethan along with them. It was dark and although the light from outside was
streaming in, the warehouse was still pretty much dark. That wasn’t surprising because it was nighttime
outside. Night goggles that he and all his men had on helped immensely. That along with guns with
silencers helped Ethan and his men eliminate their targets easily.
The most troublesome part was finding and rescuing Hayden from this chaos. Where is that glow in the
dark marking that I’m supposed to look for?
Based on his plans, Hayden is supposed to have a marking on his clothes that would glow in the dark
after the lights in the warehouse went off. Based on the same logic, Malissa should have one on her
too if Hayden succeeded on planting one on her. With everything that just happened, Malissa should be
safe enough because she was surrounded by Torex men and should be very close to the exit by now.
The wall explosion had left the walls with many holes in which the men from Silva and Torex used to
enter into the warehouse with the aim to eliminate the enemy and control the situation. Now if only he
can find Hayden.
…
“Stop struggling!” the man shouted.
“No! Hayden is in there. We can’t leave him!” I screamed back.
If he’s going to get me out of here, he has to take me by force. I’m not leaving Hayden in here.
“You can’t help him. Even if you went back there, you can’t help him!” the man yelled at me.
The worst part was that I knew that he was right and that just drove me mad with fear and anger at how
useless I was. This mess is all because of me and there’s nothing that I can do about it.
If something happens to Hayden…I’ll… Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Just thinking about it made me feel sick. I started crying again more from frustration than from fear or
sadness.
“Can we wait here? Please?!” I pleaded.
“No. My orders are to get you out of here. You heard, Hayden. We need to get out now!” he barked at
me as he continued to drag me towards the exit while I tried to turn and pull back in the opposite
direction.
