From the back booth of the theatre, the ragtag group of kids peered out the door, watching a large group of people swarm to leave the theatre.

Dustin led them in his plan, "And...blend."

The group seamlessly blended in with the crowd.

"Well, shit," Erica remarked as they walked easily through the mall, still keeping their heads down, "That worked."

"'Course it worked." Dustin scoffed. He spoke confidently, "We just have to get on the bus with the rest of these plebes, and home sweet home, here we come."

Steve's face twisted, "Uh, Dustin?"

"What?"

"Yeah...we might not wanna go to your house."

"Why?" Dustin shot back louder.

"Well, I might've told them your full name." Steve confessed, face hardly moving, trying to remain inconspicuous.

Dustin turned over his shoulder to yell at Steve, "What is wrong with you?"

"Dude, I was drugged." Steve defended.

"So?"

"So?"

"So, you resist. You tough it out." Dustin told him, exasperated, "You tough it out like a man."

"Oh, yeah, it's easy for you to say."

The two continued to bicker when Robin stopped dead in her tracks.

"Guys?"

Azalea looked at where she was staring.

One of the Russian men who were after them earlier stood checking bags and IDs as people left the mall.

They were still looking for them.

As the group stood frozen, plans circulated in their brains, the Russian man turned his head and spotted them.

Among the rest of the group, their beat up state and the two in their Scoops Uniforms, they all stood out like a sore thumb.

"Abort." Dustin said shakily, "Abort. Abort."

Azalea grabbed Dustin and Erica's shoulders to turn them around to follow.

Robin was leading the group through the mall, Steve right behind her.

"Shit—" Steve cursed as they found the escalator was closed as a group of armed Russian guards were now following them.

Thinking fast, Robin squeezed between the escalators and slid down the to lower level.
