The girl rapidly fires at me.
“He should be good, everyone eat and sip water so you don’t get acramp or throw up, it will slow us down.”
I turn to see where Lillian is pointing. “I see it too, he should be good to go. Let’s assume that we have to get it and return it as ateam. Who’s the best scout?”
I look at Lilian and First Guy. I don’t even bother with Jeff for now, once I see him move I’l decide if I trust him to help.
“I’m a good scout, once we get over there I can keep anyone away who may try to intercept you guys.
First guy shrugs. “Name’s Wyatt.
“Okay, you’re pretty fast so we should work together to get to our flag.”
I look at Lilian and she nods. “Jeff, can you be on the lookout for other team flags as we move?
“Sure can, then I can help Wyatt with scouting.
“Alright, Lilian lead us out, I’ll cover your back, Jeff, follow me and Wyatt can bring up the rear. Our flag is on top of the rope climb, but it looks like they took the ropes off completely, so we are going to have to scale the obstacle course.
I point out to Lilian, “the best spot is there to the right. The cargo net bracing is the most direct route and we should be able to jump from there, as long as we aren’t intercepted. I do have a couple back up ideas, but let’s hope we don’t have to use them.”
I smile at her, and surprisingly she smiles back. Perfect someone else just as crazy as me.
We line up and the horn blows. The four of us take off behind Lilian and she follows the path I gave her perfectly. There is so much debris on this portion of the arena, it looks like a paintball field. I can hear others shouting directions to each other, but we stay as quiet as possible.
I figure we can rest up a bit if we don’t have to fight our way to the flag. She follows a path that takes us around the outer edge, Poor Wyatt is so big he barely fits, but he squeezes through and we come around to one side of the cargo net.
“Alright, this is where we let go of our cover, Wyatt, Jeff? You guys ready?”
I whisper over my shoulder.
“Yes.”
They replied together.
“Keep track of the other teams, we don’t know how big they are, assume we are outnumbered and fight like we are. Let’s go.
Lilian and I do a running crouch to the other edge of the cargo net. It would be stupid to scale it and then have to climb across. I head up first and can hear Lilian right behind me, she struggles a bit as the net swings and shakes below me, but she keeps up. Once we are halfway up six people run out from various places along the ground. Wyatt is able to stop two with swift hits to the head, they go down hard. Jeff is fighting with one, and I have to say is putting up a good fight even with his injuries.
“Let’s go!”
I shout to Lilian and hear a string of curse words with every movement. It actually makes me smile. Once we get to the top, I help Lilian onto the beam. “It’s aten foot jump, you have to take a running start.
“You act like you’ve done something this stupid before.
“Yep.”
Is all I say before I take off across the support beam and launch myself onto the rope climb support.
“That’s all you girl, I’ll catch you when you come back.”
She laughs.
I grab the flag and go to put it in my bag, but as Iam, I have a thought and move it to my sports bra then make a show of closing and securing the bag on my back before running and jumping back.
“You were right we are surrounded, how are we going to get out of here with the guys? Wyatt isn’t fast enough to get up here and Jeff can only handle one person at a time.
“T can handle several at a time, here, you take the bag and wait until we clear a path, then we can all run together.”
Let’s see who takes the bait.
We move down and Lilian stays out of reach with both my backpack and hers on her. I jump in and start helping Wyatt clear out a path, there are only about ten people left and he’s knocked a few of them out.
Once we get a couple more subdued, I call up to Lilian.
“Get ready! Jeff flank her right, I will take her left then Wyatt can watch our backs. 3. 2.1. Go!
