Chapter Twenty Three

Cooper

I quickly grabbed Emilia’s arm and pulled her up. Wrapping an arm around her, we quickly headed down the hall towards the exit. But before we reached it, a sharp piercing cry echoed down the walls.

We all stopped, pulled up short by the sound, unsure what it was.

“There it is again!” Emilia cried out.

I looked down at her in surprise. “You know what that is?”

“No, but I’ve heard it before,” she said. “I think it might be another person held hostage here!”

I looked at Bear.

“A minute thirty, boss,” he reminded.

“We have to save them if they are prisoners!” Emilia pleaded. “We can’t leave them!”

“Take her,” I said, handing Emilia to Bear. “Take her out. I’ll meet you later.”

“No!” she said, fighting free. She started running down the opposite direction. “I’m coming with you!”

“Emilia!” I shouted, running after her. We were on a very strict timeline now.

But Emilia was already around the corner. Once we rounded the corner into the southwestern hall, we heard the cry again. This time it was clearer and louder.

Emilia started opening doors frantically. Bear ran down the hall and started opening doors from the opposite end.

I had my hand on a door when Emilia cried out, “Here!”

I looked and saw her staring into the room in shock. “Here,” she repeated in a whisper.

We rushed to her and looked inside and saw the sight that had knocked her breathless with shock.

Inside the room were the three dozen girls from the tent camp. Except now they were pale and sickly with some covered with measles spots. They were lying in the room, too sick to move or attempt an escape. The room smelled pungently of vomit and shit.

They had probably been put into this room to be sold before they had all taken ill. But after being taken ill, clearly, no one had seen to give these girls any care since putting them in this room. Randall had probably just locked them up, expecting them to just die. I wanted to run back and slit Randall’s throat.

But we had no time.

“Grab as many girls as you can,” I said to the men. “Go!”

We all gathered the limp girls. Emilia picked one girl up and grunted as she heaved her up into her arms.

“Sora,” she called out gently. “Sora!” The girl’s head bobbed limply against Emilia’s shoulder.

“Go!” I told her. She couldn’t carry any more than one girl. “Go!”

Bear had two on his back and two in his arms. I had two in my arms and was trying to get one more on my back when Dozer burst into the room.

“What are you still doing here, boss!” he cried. He must’ve re-entered the building to look for us once we hadn’t shown up at the rendezvous point. “We’ve already detonated!”

“Grab the girls!” I ordered without explaining.

Dozer looked around and saw what the rest of us were doing. Without further remarks, he quickly picked up the sick girls.

In a crazy dash, we rushed out with sick girls piled on top of us.
