Chapter 2| Together

"Look, I know it's Minho. All right? But you can't ask me to put those kids on the line for one man. I won't do it." Vince said. "Searching the grid now. A is completed. Scanning B-sector now" the radio says. "Shit. Hit the lights. Let's go, let's go!" Vince yelled flipping switches. "Jeez, they're getting close." He said looking up at the dimly lit plane. "You're right. We can't stay here." Thomas said.

Vince patted his back as him and everyone else headed to bed. "You coming Tommy?" Newt asked. "Yeah, I'll be there soon" He smiled. I walked with Newt and Frypan throwing myself onto the hammock. I saw Newt and Fry sit down and start to talk.

"So, we know Thomas is going to go anyway, how are we going to meet up with him?" Fry asked. "I'm sure he'll just take the car, so we'll sneak out to the cars in a few" Newt said. "Well if you two are going, I'm coming too" I said sitting up. "Are you sure? I don't know if I can protect you out there" Newt said concern laced in his voice. "You don't need to, I can protect myself" I said.

He gave me a worried look. "I promise, I'll be fine!" I said. "Fine, do you guys want to head down now?" He asked. "Let's go now, never know with Thomas" Fry said putting on a jacket. We gathered some things and headed down to the car.

We sat in the dark until we heard footsteps approaching. Newt flipped the light on illuminating Thomas. "Where do you think you're going then?" Newt asked Thomas. "Newt..." Thomas started. "Don't be a twat about it. I'm already in. Come on." Newt said walking towards Thomas.

"No. No, not this time. Look, even if we find Minho, there's no guarantee we make it back from this." Thomas exclaimed. "Well, you'll need all the help you can get then, won't you?" Newt said as Fry opened the door to show we were there. "Well, we started this together. May as well end it that way, too." Newt said. "Okay. Let's go get him back." Thomas smiled as they hopped into the car. We drove a long way until we came upon a dark and long tunnel.

We stepped out of the car and looked around. "You want us to go in there?" I asked. "I don't wanna come across as too negative, but if I was a Crank, that's exactly where I would be." Newt said. "I don't think we have much of a choice." Thomas said. "All right. I get shotgun." Newt said walking back to the car.

We got back in the car as Newt turned on a bright headlight and Fry turned on the cars headlights. "Well, here we go." Fry said pulling in. "Yeah, just take it nice and slow." Newt said looking out of his window. A few seconds later we came to a fast stop which jerked us all frontwards. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" I said looking at the crank in front of us.

"It's okay. It's just one, so take it slow, go around him. We'll be fine." Thomas said as Newt rolled his window up. "Take it slow. Take it slow." Fry mumbled which made my stomach drop. Only seconds later a loud thud comes from Thomas's window. "Please. Please. Help me. Please. Please! Let me in." A lady begs as she tries to open the door. "Okay. Fry, we gotta go." I said as more surrounded the car.

"Please! Open the door." The woman begged. "You need to go right now!" Newt said. "Why won't you open it?" The lady said hysterically. "Just floor it, Fry!" Thomas exclaimed. "Hold on!" He yelled.

"Floor it! Come on!" Newt said. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" We all said in unison as Fry swerved through the cars and rubble all over the tunnel grounds. As he swiftly drove through the landfill a crank had thrown himself on top of the cars hood. "Come on, Fry, shake him!" Thomas said. "I'm trying!" Fry yelled as he swerved the car left and right.

"Go." Thomas said. "Hang on!" He said speeding up again as the crank hit a ladder hanging from a truck. "Oh, God. Frypan, watch out!" I yelled covering my eyes. The car had crashed and flipped over. "Everyone okay?" Thomas asked.

"My hand. my hand" Fry mumbled. I winced and grabbed at my side. The bullet wound started to gush blood again. "Fry, cover your eyes." Thomas said as he kicked open the window. "Oh, shit. You okay, man?" Newt asked Thomas after kicking the window out. "Yeah. You all right?" Thomas said.

"Shit, my hand." Fry said again. "Wait! Thomas! Thomas, the door!" Fry yelled. "You okay love?!" Newt asked flashing a light at me. "Yeah" I groaned covering the blood. I took off my sweater and tied it around my waist so it could sok"Can you get out?" Fry said.

"Oh, shit. All right." Thomas said yanking at Fry's door. "Fry, go around" Thomas said walking to Newt's door. "I'm trying to get out." Newt said as he kicked at his door. He kicked as hard as possible, as soon as Thomas reached the door he'd gotten it open and rolled out. "Newt, you okay?" Thomas asked.

"Yeah, I think so." He said. "Fry, you good?" He asked. Seconds after a loud yell could be heard throughout the tunnel. "Go, Y/N!! Hurry" Fry said grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the door. "Oh, shit." Newt said looking for his gun.

I finally got out and limped towards the two as Fry searched for something in the car. "Frypan, I think we gotta move." Thomas said looking at Fry and then back at the crank. "Now!" Thomas yelled. "Wait a minute!" Fry said still searching in the flipped car. "Right now!" Newt said as he stood in front of me and backed up slowly.

"Fry, now! Come on, what are you doing? We gotta move! Come on!" Thomas yelled again. "Come on!" Newt yelled. "Hold on!" He said again. "Frypan gotta go! Come on!" I exclaimed.
"Wait!" He yelled once more.

"Come on!" Thomas yelled again before Fry had jumped out with a rifle and shot the crank. "Nice shot, Fry." Thomas said. "Thanks." He said lowering the rifle. More cranks began running towards us as we backed away. "Okay. We gotta go. Go, go!" Thomas said.

"Fry, come on, let's go!" Newt yelled. "Fry, let's move, let's go!" Thomas yelled again as Fry shot cranks. "Go! Go! Go!" Fry yelled. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Watch out." Thomas said as he came to a halt. All I could see was light coming in the tunnel.

"Fry, you got any left?" Thomas asked. "Yeah!" He said prepping his rifle. "Okay. This way, this way!" He motioned as we ran backwards. "Okay, Fry. Other way, other way!" He said. "I'm out!" Fry yelled as more cranks gathered around us.

I felt a hand clasp in mine as we all grouped together. "Shit!" Thomas yelled. Moments later I heard an engine and shots ring out through the tunnel. "Hey, get in!" Brenda said as she shot from the top of the car. We all quickly gathered into the car.

"Go, Jorge, go!" Brenda yelled. "Go!" She yelled again. "Hang on!" He smiled speeding through the screaming crowds of cranks. "I'm impressed! You guys almost lasted a whole day." Jorge said laughing. "You good?" Brenda asked looking back.

"Yeah. I'm sorry. I didn't wanna bring you guys into this." Thomas said. "I think what he's trying to say is thanks for saving us." Fry said. "You're welcome." Brenda said. "Hey, don't get your hopes up. That checkpoint back there, that was the city's last defense. If that was overrun, chances are the city is, too." Jorge said as we passed a large area with a tall building smack in the middle of it. "Yeah, unless they figured out some other way to keep the Cranks out." Newt said as Jorge stopped the car looking at the city.

"Funny...Spent three years trapped behind walls, trying to break out, and now we wanna
break back in." Newt said.
