Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Infiltrate

Free and the other arrive at the city hall. They approached the receptionist. "Excuse me, did an injured person came here?"

"This is also a hospital, there are many injuries and sick are being brought here. Can you be specific?"

"Sorry, did someone brought someone who is bleeding." Those who heard him looked at him.

"Shhhhh." She whispered, "There is someone but is in currently being interrogated. Are you people the one who helped capture him?"

"Yes, and we like to bring him back to headquarter." Free chose his words carefully. "Ummm, can we see him?"

"Wait a minute let me call someone to help you." She pick up a phone. "Hello!" She continued to whispered, "The people who captured the prisoner came in to pick him up. Yes... yes... Okay, I'll tell them." She hanged up the phone. "Someone will escort you just wait here for a few minutes."

Free sat down at the nearest available sit. Eva was looking around the place while Whip was leaning on the wall impatient waiting, "I can't just stand here and wait." She grabbed Eva by the wrist and sneak away from Free sight. They took the elevator, she press a button at random. "Let's just see here." They stepped out on the 6th floor basement. "There seem to be no one around." They explored the entire floor and found a room filled with CCTV monitor. "There are sure a lot of these things and no one watching them." There's Zi!" She pointed out. "How do we find out what floor he is?"

Eva notice a thick book on top of a table, she turned to the first page and saw a long list. Listed on top were camera number, room and floor written on it. "Which monitor did you see Zi?"

"I saw him over there." She pointed at it.

Eva saw the number 148 on the top of the screen of the monitor. "Let's see, camera 148" She searched and searched, "I found it, and there it is. He is at the Interrogation Room at 11th floor basement. We have to go down five more floors." They hurried out but at that moment the door open two guards blocked them.

"Who are you people?"

Whip and Eva pushed the guard and hurried back to the elevator. An alarm went off and the entire light turned red. "We have an intruder in the building. I repeat we have an intruder in the building. Capture them alive for questioning. They are pretty girls wearing weird clothing."

"Hee hee they called us pretty." Eva smiled.

"Did we encounter the fashion police? These might not be my style but still I think it look great." They boarded the elevator and Whip pressed the 20B button. They went out above the elevator and waited. "6...7...8...9...10...11B." They hanged on to the ladder beside the elevator shaft. And wait a few minutes. She pried the door opened with her knife and took a peek. "All clear." They slipped through a small gap. "Okay, we need to hurry up and find Zi." Whip shouted with all the alarm so loud.

They split up to find him quicker, opening every door they see. After opening the ninth door, "Eva! I found him." She kicked the chair he was sitting, "What are you doing sitting around?"

"I was just waiting for you guys."

"You lazy bum, let's get out of here."

They hurried back at the elevator but someone was waiting for them. It was the blond guy together with a bunch of other with guns on their hand ready to fire. "So you have come to save your pal. Everyone open fire. Shoot to kill."

"Boom" a huge explosion came from behind and everyone were blown away. When the dusts started to clear up everyone saw Free on a floating red bike with Whip's bike in tow. "Come on everyone." Zi and the other hop on and Free in control of the bikes flew up blasted a hole at the ceiling and out of the place.

"What did you do?" Whip asked,

"I did nothing." replied Free.

"No, really what did you do, I really want to know." She was excited like she got I knew toy to play around.

"I just flipped the red switch."

"Oh you mean this one." She flipped the red switch. "Nothing happening."

"Wait, let me turn off the sync system. All right that should..."

Two girl screamed out loud, "Ahhhhhh!" Whip was out of control of her bike. "How do you steer this thing?" They were flying all over.

"Let me turn it back on again. That should do it."

"Teach me how to fly this thing, once we get somewhere safe."

"Wait!" Zi interrupted, "Did you know all of them are robots."

"Android and yes we were also were shock when we saw their face." Free said. "Anyway where should we go next?"

"Let's go land down on the ground first we don't know how long the fuel will last."

Out of nowhere there were a loud bang went off behind them. They were being shot down on the ground by an anti-aircraft artillery. "SHOOT THOSE HEARTLESS ROBOTS!" A man yelling through a megaphone. "DON'T LET THEM ESCAPE!"

Free was trying his best to avoid every bullets and missiles that came there way but it was too much for him. They were caught by an explosion of a missile and they crash landed farway from their hostile attacker.
