Annabelle's POV:

The three of us get our friends out in a rush, getting bombarded with questions.

"Aris what happened?"

"Thomas, Belle, just calm down and talk to us."

"She's still alive." I say, still rushing.

"Who's she? Teresa?"

"Ava." I correct.

"Ava?" I dismissively nod and continue on.

"Will you just turn around and talk to us?"

I turn to them.

"It's WICKED! It's still WICKED. It's always been WICKED!" I yell out.

Newt grabs my shoulders in an effort to calm me down.

"Belle. What did you see?" he asks slowly.

"Come on, come on." Thomas rushes, not giving me time to respond.

"There's something I gotta do." says Aris.

"What are you talking about?" I ask.

"Trust me, it's important!"

"I'll go with her" says Winston.

And the rest of us go to get Teresa.

Janson's POV:

I see group A kids on the run.

"What are you kids doing out?" I yell.

They quickly run off in the other direction.

"I want this place locked down. Call everyone in. No one leaves until everyone's accounted for." I tell my people.

I walk into security.

"Tell me you've got eyes on them." I demand.

"Still looking, still looking. Come on, come on, come on." he responds, searching.

"There." I point. " they're going after Teresa. Get everyone to the med wing. I want them alive."

Teresa's POV:

Goddamit what side am I on?!

The door is suddenly slammed open.

"Dr. Crawford, are you here to.." my nurse says, until she realizes what's happening.

Anna and Thomas barge in pointing loaded guns at the doctors.

"Where is she? Where is she!" Anna yells.

Then she sees me.

"Teresa! What did they do to you?" she says, angrily.

"Anna?" I guiltily say, still not knowing whose side to be on.

"What's going on?" I ask, though I know.

They figured it out.

"We gotta leave right now. Come on!" Thomas says in a rush.

We join with all the other kids, and get pretty far, until guards see us.

"Stay behind me!" Anna tells me.

Dammit if only she knew I'm the safest of all of us.

Finally we make it towards the exit.

"Converge on level 3. All R-16 personnel... non-lethal force only" I hear Janson say.

"Open this door Janson" Anna says, pointing a huge gun at them.

"You really don't want me to." he says.
