"If you're afraid of failure, you don't deserve to be successful."

-Charles Barkley

He fell down giving me the ability to put pressure on the vein at the side of his neck and make him fall unconscious.  I turned back and look around. All of the fifteen people who were involved were injured. U was nursing a bullet wound, the others had various scratches. “It’s a flesh wound since the bullet only grazed your arm” said O.  “Someone take the car and drive him to the hospital. Then drop him and comeback with a car so that we can all go and get treated. Who’s going?” E asked.

"I’ll go.” O offered. “Before you go, just give us the ropes so that we can tie them up.” he said, jerking his thumb towards the guys. We finished tying them and waited for O to be back. “You think the attack is still on?” I asked. “I think it is. It’s a highly planned operation and I’m not taking any chances.” I sighed.

“I’ll have a specialist team ready by 5 am tomorrow. You’ll have to brief them though.  Work on their position charts tonight.” she advised. “I’ll also call up Mr. Lee and ask him to hire X-ray machines,metal detectors and additional security.” I said and turned away a little to call him. “She’s going to stop at nothing to protect them. I’m scared to know what she’ll do if she somehow fails.” Eric whispered to them. “Sometimes, failure is not an option anymore.” I hissed. Mr. Lee agreed to my requests and he would hand me the position charts by tonight. 

O returned with the car and we hot wired two other car which belonged to the gangs.  We put five men in each. I decided to drive with O since I and E had been constantly lecturing me about calming down. For once, I needed the quiet.  O drove while I rested my head back on the head rest. “You should get some sleep. You’re going to have to pull an all nighter off tonight.“ O said kindly. I nodded slightly and let the quiet purr of the engine lull me to sleep.  

I woke up to the familiar feeling of alcohol stinging my skin. I immediately shot up to find myself in a white room. A hospital. “You better lie down. Those are a nasty set of bruises and nail scratches.” The doctor said.  “How did you get those exactly?” U asked, bewildered. “That man tried to choke me.” I hissed as I felt ointment being applied. We had decided to head back since it was already pretty late in the evening. 

“Just be careful tomorrow and don’t take any unnecessary risks.” I reminded me. “Wear a jacket. There’s one made for you and kept at the Base.” E informed. “Be careful kiddo.” O said and ruffled my head. “Take a bullet.” U fist bumped me.  I just smiled.  I made my way to their dorm to find Mr. Lee with the boys. He was telling them how proud he was of them and to be confident tomorrow. He saw me and asked me to follow him to his office. He then asked EXO to get some rest. I gathered what I needed and left the dorm ignoring the questioning glances of all of them since  I did not have answers for them yet.

A\N: Happy reading! (:
