“RUN!”
Everyone surges forward.
Children crying.
Water splashing.
Gunfire echoing behind us.
Sentinel operatives are flooding the nursery.
I clutch the little girl tighter against my chest while Clay practically carries me through the collapsing tunnel system.
“Go!” Lucas shouts.
One of Mason’s men gets clipped in the leg and crashes hard into the water.
Gabriel hauls him upright instantly.
Nobody gets left behind.
Nobody.
The blast door opening narrows smaller.
Five feet.
Four.
Three.
“We’re not gonna make it!” Mason yells.
Clay suddenly grabs me around the waist.
“Hold on.”
Then he runs faster.
Straight toward the closing steel wall.
Absolute maniac.
Russ dives through first.
Lucas right behind him with two children.
Mason shoves another child through the narrowing gap.
Gabriel forces the doctor ahead at gunpoint.
“MOVE!”
The woman stumbles through.
Good.
Because Gabriel clearly intends to keep her alive long enough to expose everything.
