36 Escape Pt. 1 (2/2)
”Over there!” One of the guards spotted Reed.
Knowing that anymore time dealing with guards would lead to Reed and the hostages death, Reed picked up the pistol from one of the corpses beside him and shot at the guards coming closer, stopping them. He then looked up and saw a crane holding a bunch of boxes in a net. Reed shot the latch keeping the net together, dropping all the boxes on the path in front of him, blocking the guards on the other side from passing.
Watching all the guards go into cover behind the crates, Reed turned around and ran to where the hostages were at. There he found the hostages grouped around the hostage who was shot at. A bloody hole could be seen in her thigh as blood poured out from it, coloring the clothing around it red. It's clear that this hostage wouldn't be able to walk without help for awhile.
Time was of the essence and Reed didn't know what to do with the hostage. Does he leave her behind to insure that he and everyone else escape or does he carry her with him, increasing the chance of him or someone else being injured.
”Lillian hold on, you'll be fine. The exit to this place isn't that far. So just hold on. Please Lillian,” One of the hostages was soothing the hostage who was shot, Lillian Myers. Now Reed knew he couldn't abandon the wounded hostage knowing that the person was Lillian Myers. He made a promise to Conor that he would bring her back safely, a promise he did not think to break.
”Tyler get your team to the extraction point ASAP. Aily have your team attack from the outside to clear the obstacles between you and I. This is gonna be one hell of a hot extraction so everyone be careful and don't die.” Reed said to Aily and Tyler.
”Got, It.” the two of them replied.
Reed walked over to Lillian, ” Is your name Lillian Myers?” Reed asked. Seeing that her savior knew what her name was, Lillian couldn't help but look at Reed with a questioning look and asked,
” Yes that is my name, how did you know that?”
Reed smiled, ” Your husband Conor Myers is awaiting for your return.”
A glow lit up in Lillian's eyes, ” Conor! You know my husband Conor? How is he? He must've been worried sick not knowing where I was. I really hope he is well.”
”He is fine at the moment. However if something were to happen to you like dying, I'm sure he would be heart broken and possibly kill himself. So please keep on enduring so that you can see your husband, Conor once again.”
Hearing that Conor was fine Lillian smiled and a surge of energy out of nowhere coursed through her body. ” Yes, to see him once more, I have to endure. However I'm gonna need your help. Lillian pointed at the bullet hole in her thigh.
”I made a promise to Conor that I would bring you back safely. It'll be my responsibility to carry you until we get to the extraction point.” Reed looked at the bullet hole once more. ”Though the promise I made is sort of broken, at least your not in a worst condition.”
Reed picked Lillian and held in the princess style.
”Come on everyone, the exit isn't that far now.”
