Sonder - Newt TMR

As the six of us crawled through the tight, hot ducts... none of us really knew what we were doing.  

None of us had a plan. 

We just all had a mutual understanding that we needed to get out of here and we needed to get out now, or we died trying. 

We came to a dead end, as Thomas who was in the lead still, took off the grate and we all filed out.  

We were on the main level now, and no longer in the ceiling.  

The halls were silent, they must have not figured out we were gone yet, but it was only a matter of time before they did. 

We have to keep moving. 

"Wait, I have to go do something." Aris spoke up, just above a whisper.   

The rest of the group shot Thomas and I a look.

I don't think they trusted him quite yet, but who could blame them. I mean, they just met the guy.

"I'll go with him." Winston volunteered, as he followed Aris back into the air vent. 

"We gotta keep moving, quickly." I told everyone with a hint of harshness in my tone. 

The five of us walked briskly through the halls. Our eyes darting around, looking for anyone or anything. 

"Oh, my-" a woman in a white lab coat said, as we rounded a corner and almost ran into her.  

We all stared at her and she stared back. 

"What are you guys doing out?" she asked us, as her eyes bounced around to each of us.  

Shit. 

That's when a loud alarm started ringing through every part of the building. 

The emergency lights at every corner and above every door began flashing a bright orange light. 

Well, I think they figured out we weren't in our rooms anymore. 

The woman in the lab coat began slowly stepping back, before she turned around and began running as fast as she could down the hall.  

"Get her!" I yelled out, as we began chasing after her.  

We were able to catch up to her pretty quickly, we then had a grip on her where she wasn't getting away from us. 

We were leading her through the halls, having her use her ID card and her finger print to get us through the locked doors.  

I recognized were we were now, the medical unit. 

Thomas led us here to get to Teresa. 

"Everyone get down!" Minho yelled, as we entered the room.  

There were several nurses and other staff members there wearing the same white lab coats, as Teresa laid on the hospital bed peacefully. 

The staff members went to their knees, with their hands up in the air, as Thomas ran over to Teresa.  

"Let me see your hands!" Newt yelled, as him and the others began tying them up with sheets and anything they could find. 

"WHERE ARE THEY?!" I could hear a deep voice yell from down the hall, with several pairs of running feet growing closer and closer.  

Oh, shit! 

I ran over to the metal shelf next to the door, and pushed with all my might.  

It fell over with a loud crash in front of the door, barricading us in.  

As the security began pounding at the door, trying to kick it in, I looked around.  

How the hell were we going to get out of here? 

Adrenaline pumped through my entire body.  

The large window on the adjacent wall seemed to glow in my eyes, as I picked up a chair.  

I launched it across the room at the glass, as it bounced off.  

Thomas and Newt had realized my idea and what I was trying to do, as the two of them ran over to the window.  

They picked up whatever heavy, large objects they could get their hands on, and both swung at the glass at the same time as hard as they could. 

The large window shattered, as glass flung everywhere.  

Teresa was now slowly coming back to reality, as Thomas helped her up from the bed.  

We all jumped through the shattered window, over the broken glass, as Thomas helped Teresa through. 

Then, we all ran like hell through the maze of halls. 

With Thomas in the front, everyone following behind him, and Newt and I in the very back. 

The whistle of an object flying by my head, caused me to duck quickly. 

The smacking of whatever flew past me against the wall to my left, caused everyone to stop and turn back. 

It was a dark object the size of my fist, that upon impact against the wall blew up and sent veins of electricity through anything it touched. 

"What the fuck was that?" I asked. 

Another one flew past my head. 

It came from the corner we had just turned from.  

There was a guard, holding some sort of gun, firing these things at us as he grew closer. 

It was almost like a taser that shot farther, with more accuracy, and without the cords. 

"Go! Go! GO!" I yelled frantically, as I tried to push everyone forward. 

Without hesitation, everyone began running again.  

Then, Minho stopped.  

He turned around, and began running back in the opposite direction, the one where we had come from. 

As the guard rounded the corner, Minho jumped up.  He greeted the guards chest with his knee, causing him to go flying backwards into the wall behind him. 

The pure force Minho had, caused the guard to fall to the ground unconscious. 

Holy. Fucking. Shit. 

Minho grabbed the 'gun' from the guard, before tossing it to Thomas. 

"Let's go." Minho said with a satisfied smile on his lips.
