Tayn heard Zens voice echoing up the hallway. She looked back at the door she had come though, and then to Janet, and Barnes. Her heart ached could she leave them here she had just found them. But how could she get them out? Rex would be able to melt the bars, but she was useless.
"I'll be back." She whispered apologetically, and ran for the door she had come though. she Knew where they would be they were looking for Firestein. She ran up the hallway toward the Dome room.
Tayn rounded a corner and crashed into someone both of them fell, and a coffee mug skittered across the floor leaving a trail of steaming coffee behind it.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" she said pushing herself up off of them. "I didn't see you." Her eye's went wide when she saw it was one of firestiens guards.
"What are you doing here?!" He demanded. "you're not supposed to be down here!"
Tayn didn't know what to say to him. she shook her head mouth agape and started to put her hands up submissively. The guard pulled himself up off the floor scowling at her. The jingle of keys caught her attention. He had a set of keys on a carabiner on his pants belt loop. She looked up at his face, could he be the person who was guarding Janet?
"Sorry." she said again and lunged at him, knocking him back down.
"HEY!" He yelled. Tayn released the latch and slipped the keys off. She hadn't thought about what she would have to do to keep him from stopping her.
He grabbed her arm and reached for his gun.
Tayn dropped to her knees, on his stomach and used her free hand to try to wrestle the gun away from him. He coughed having the wind knocked out of him, but didn't stop fighting her.
while they struggled she managed to free her other arm and jabbed one of the keys into his side. He yelled in pain, as she grabbed the gun and hopped back away from him pointing it at him.
Her heart was racing, she couldn't let him go or he would get others.
Tears filled her eyes and her hands shook.
"I'm sorry." she said her voice quivering. She tried to work up the strength within her to fire the gun. She stared into his scared eyes, she wasn't sure which of them was more afraid. This was wrong. She couldn't do it. No life was more important than another.
"Get up!" She yelled. "don't try anything!"
she took him with her back to Janet and Barnes and handed him the keys. "Open it." she said holding him at gun point.
