Dying Rays

Chapter eighty two: The Grieving

Taylor stayed crouched on the edge of the car peeking around the back being able to see the trucks, Connor had Alfie on his lap holding a flashlight letting Alfie practice his writing in his notebook, Aviana was sitting against the wall lightly boucing Benjamin while Elizabeth was fast asleep on her chest, Taylor heard the elevator and turned reaching over to turn Connor's light off and peeked around again, Connor moved the flaslight down and moved Alfie's book, Connor looked to Alex who was drinking the one of the juice boxes. Taylor saw the soldier's leave the elevator seeing the one who called all the shots and slightly moved back and watched them go to the trucks, Vivian quietly breathed out leaning on the wall while sitting further away from the open being near the corner, Aviana looked to her before looking down to Benjamin making sure the twins stayed asleep as the soldier's were down here.

Taylor watched them climb into the truck and back out of the spot before driving to the garage door opening it, Taylor noticed they had an automatic opener but saw they would be able to open it manually, it took a moment but they soon drove out and the door shut behind them, Taylor moved back and took the walkie talkie out ''They left are there more coming down?'' she asked and looked to the elevator seeing it going back up *Yes, do not come out of hiding.* Carson warned through the walkie talkie Taylor looked around towards the elevator then turned looking to them sitting down ''Almost there.'' she simply stated looking to them, they nodded, Taylor looked to Vivian who had her head on the wall. Taylor moved off the ground staying crouched and moved over to Vivian before sitting down infront of her crossing her leg's ''I can check now.'' Vivian moved her head and nodded moving her hands away from her stomach using them to push up so she wasn't slouching. Taylor moved forward a bit and started lightly pressing around her stomach before placing her hand on Vivian's stomach ''Have you asked a doctor before everything happened about this?'' Vivian looked to her ''What do you mean?'' she asked, Taylor looked at her ''Well, did they say if there was going to be any complications with birth?'' Vivian thought about it but shook her head ''No.'' Taylor nodded and thought about it.

Aviana looked over to the elevator needing to pay attetnion so the two would know when to be quiet, Taylor took her hand back thinking ''I'd need to check another way but I don't think you'd wanna to that here.'' she explained and sat back relaxing a bit ''I'm also not skilled in that area, I just know how to help with birth and with c-sections.'' Taylor admitted, Vivian looked at her and thought about that before nodding ''I still trust you.'' she smiled, Taylor smiled and looked over to Aviana seeing her looking to the elevator, she looked to Vivina before moving over and sat beside Aviana reaching over and took Benjamin from her, Aviana looked to her and carefully placed him in her arms. Taylor got him in the sling and looked down to him ''She wanted kids.'' Aviana looked to her ''She always talked about them, wondering how she would get them.'' Aviana caught onto who Taylor was talking about and looked down to Elizabeth ''She wanted to name one after me, but just Ana.'' Taylor looked at her ''I know how close you two were.'' Aviana looked at her before looking forward and smile ''She acted like a sister I never had.'' she stated smiling and felt her eye's hurt a bit from keeping tears back and looked down to the baby.

The two looked over seeing the other group of soldiers exit the elevator and walk to another truck, Connor moved his left arm to Alex's shoulder and looked to the right where they were getting in the trucks, the group was lucky it was dark in the parkade for them not to be seen. Once they drove out of the parkade, Taylor brought the walkie talkie up ''All of them are out of the builidng, we should go now.'' Taylor simply said and got up before helping Aviana on her feet, Taylor went over to Vivian and helped her up as well *We'll be down in a couple of minutes with the paitents and staff, there are still five soldiers up here.* Carson explained over the walkie talkie, Taylor went over to one of the trucks and opened the door before climbing inside and looked around seeing a radio in the dash, she leaned over and checked the glove compartment and moved the stuff around, there were more walkie talkies and a second map.

Taylor shut the glove box and got out walking to the back seeing Aviana getting Vivian in the bed of the large truck and she helped get Vivian in, Taylor then helped Aviana get in before helping Connor up, Taylor then took Benjamin out of the sling ''Connor, do you mind taking him?'' Connor moved over shaking his head. Taylor took the sling off and handed it to Connor getting it over his head, he put one of his arm's through and Taylor got Ben into the sling before letting Connor move back and sit on the bench under the thick dark green tarp that went over the whole bed of the truck. Taylor looked over to the elevator and brought her shotgun around before lifting the door shutting the bed of the truck and looked at the garage doors.
