She's a Runner

Teresa's POV:

"This is an alert. Curfew is now in effect. Anyone caught in violation of curfew will be subject to immediate deportation."

I hear someone following me so I chase them into an empty space.

The figure turns their head.

"Anna?" I ask, seeing her face.

"Hey, Teresa." she responds, casually.

"You shouldn't be here. If Janson finds out you're here..." I start, knowing she doesn't want to get captured again.

"I'm not staying. It's just, uh... I had to see you." she explains.

I blush. Maybe she still cares about me too.

I look her over, making sure she's okay. And that's when I see it.

"Y-your neck" I whisper out, seeing exposed veins.

She quickly covers it with her hair.

Damn it, this wouldn't have happened if she just stayed here with me.

"I do have to ask you something, though" she asks. I nod, cautiously, still worried for her.

"Do you regret it? What you did to us?" she asks.

I think for a minute on how to explain it nicely without lying.

"Sometimes... But I did what I thought was right." I say, hoping she'll understand.

"I'd do it again." I finish, knowing it's true.

She smiles at me.

"Good."

And then A bag is placed over my head.

Annabelle's POV:

They remove the bag.

"Gally?" she says sounding surprised.

I forgot that she was there when that incident happened. I forgot that she was on our side before. It seems so long ago.

"Here's how this is gonna go. We're gonna ask you some questions, and you're gonna tell us exactly what we need to know." Gally says, intimidatingly.

"We'll start off simple. Belle found Minho. Is he still there? Did they move him?" he asks.

"You guys don't seriously think.." she looks over at me, probably thinking I'd help her out.

"Don't look at her. Why are you looking at her? Look at me." Gally says, stepping in front of me.

"She's not gonna help you. Now, did they move him? he continues asking.

She tries looking at me but I stare at Gally, blankly.

She sighs and nods. "Sub-level three."

"How many others?"

"28"

"I can make that work." Brenda says. Finally, we're getting somewhere.

"No. No, you guys don't understand. The whole level's restricted. You can't get in without a thumbprint ID." she quickly speaks.

"That's why you're gonna come with us. Well, I don't know. We don't necessarily need her." he looks to me, trying to get a reaction or something.
