Four or Dead

Chapter 164

By the time I make it to the Northeast train station, I am covered in sweat and so thirsty I am about to pass out

One of the guards tries to stop me from entering, but I whisper to him one word, and he lets me pass. I go directly to the safety box, type in the code, and open it. The money and the phone are there, and I grab them. And my smartwatch. Dios, I really missed my smartwatch

I also take one of the emergency backpacks that contains not only clean clothes and sports shoes but water and food as well, and empty the two bottles in less than a minute. I eye one of the graham crackers packs, but I doubt I can stomach anything after...Stefan

I go to the bathroom and change my clothes, not before cleaning the sweat and the dust from my body. When I feel more or less human again, I call Wasp

"Bumblebee?" she asks as she answers

"Hi," I croak

"How are you?"

"Miserable," I sob. "My mates hate me and don't want anything to do with me. And...you have to explain all this hellstar business to me because, apparently, you have been hiding things from me."

But the plan is the same get out of the city." Of course, the plan is the same. "Once you have Fire Fly out, we will meet at the extraction point."

I am starting to regret accepting this mission. "Beetle would have been a better option than me for saving Fire Fly."

"But she doesn't know the facility as you do," Wasp reminds me

I know. We have gone over the plan a thousand times. I was the best option for this mission, and to make sure no one was suspecting anything, I had to act on my own. My mistake was to ask Alekos for his help. I should have walked all the way to the facility instead of stopping by his office. But this is the first time we are doing this, and we are still learning
