Song is for the start of the chapter!

As I looked around at the people surrounding us, I couldn't help myself to sink into despair. There was no easy way out of this. They got us right where they wanted us and we wouldn't be able to get out. This was a set up. Auggie and I couldn't fight them off with only two guns and no back up. We weren't delusional. I felt my heart race in my chest as I realized that we were going to die.

With nervous eyes, I looked for an exit. My mind was running with ideas on how to get out alive. I shook my head as I realized that every idea I had turned into a gun fight. I been trapped before but this was the first time that there was a small army against me.

In silence I looked over at Auggie who was trying to assess the problem as well. I let out a shaky breath as I looked around the room as I tried to find Toby. I couldn't find him away were and wondered if he made a run for it without getting caught. I grabbed a hold of a glimmer of hope for just a second as I realized that if we were lucky, he was out calling for backup.

"Do you think we have a chance?" I whispered to Auggie as I tried to come up with some plan.

As I looked in more detail at the men in front of us, I noticed that they looked more professional. They were all clean cut and polished. They were different then the gang members we saw yesterday. I frowned as I felt myself sink deeper into fear. These people could be MIA and they were here for me and it terrified me.

"No," Auggie frowned as he started to lower his gun. He knew when a battle was not worth it.

I refused to let my gun fall. Instead, I white knuckled it, unable to let it fall. I should have followed Auggie's lead, but I couldn't bring myself to that. Our guns might as well been pea shooters compared to theirs.

No wanting to give up yet, I pulled out my phone and pushed the distressed button it then shoved it back into my back pocket. I never had to push this button. I was told this was only for life and death situations. This time was the best time to use this since we were looking at death.

"Annalise, I have to tell you something," Auggie said as his eyes showed fear.

I frowned at him. He was going to share some kind of deep secret with me. He didn't think he would live through this. This was the last word situation. I shook my head, not wanting to hear it from him. "No. Tell me after," I said to him as if I knew we would make it through this.

"Put down your guns," a tall man with black hair said coming from the crowed. "And don't even try the distressed button. We have the air waves blocked."

I tried to swallow my fear but it went down as cotton balls, only to get stuck in my throat. In our line of work, the idea of death of torture was a very real topic. But I never thought it would happen to us so young. After I joined the CIA, I never imagined how much more I would have to grow up to fit in.

When my parents died, I lost a large chunk of my childhood, but when I joined the CIA, the rest of my youth was gone. But it was times like this when I remembered that I was still a teen. I was still young, I still had things to do. If I had a normal life, this wouldn't happen to me.

Slowly, I put my guns on the ground.  I tried to compose myself but I felt myself shake. I was terrified and I knew that they could see it in my eyes.

The shadowy man smiled at us. "Good, now kick them to me," he said. He took long confident strides towards us, coming out of shadows. As he walked under the fog lights, I saw that it was Fabien.

I felt angry tears well up in my eyes. I should have seen this. I should have realized that he wasn't who he appeared. Fabien was not working for the CIA and because of my failure to see this, we were both going to die. "Why are you doing this? We're on the same team!" I yelled at him, I could feel my voice shake.

He shook his head, as if there was something that I didn't get. He chuckled. "We were never on the same team," he smiled as if this was a funny joke.

He was MIA. They found me. I found out too much about them and they were going to take me out. I should just give up now, but I couldn't go that easily. I needed more information from them. "What are you doing?" I yelled and took a step closer, realizing that if I was going to die, I was invincible right now.

A gun fired, missing us and hitting the brick wall beside us, causing me to jump. They wanted us to stay still. I froze in mid step trying to figure out why they hadn't killed me yet. They were holding back and I wanted to know why.

I took another step and another gun fired but it didn't hit either of us.

"Annalise, I am warning you. Don't push it,"Fabien threatened.

Or what? They would kill me? I was already thinking that they wouldn't. If they hadn't yet then there was something else they were wanting from me. "Tell me why you are here."

"How about we do this....Toby, come out," Fabien said then out of the shadows came Toby.

I swore. They caught him too. Now there was no hope at all. The chances of getting out of here went to only 2%.

"You see, he told us what you told him," he continued.

He words were like whips and I realized that no one caught him. He was with MIA too. I was going to sick. Toby was on their team. Toby was MIA. Suddenly it made sense why he brushed me off and why he wanted to know what I was always up to. He was spying on me and I didn't see it.

Angry tears ran down my face. I was the failure. No wonder my grandmother never gave me complements. I couldn't even tell if my own boyfriend was on our team. I was a terrible spy. "Toby? No!" I yelled. I trusted him. I loved him. After all the time we spent together, he betrayed me and the CIA.

"Oh yes, and he's been working for us for about a year now. You trusted the wrong man," Fabien said as Toby walked back in the shadows, too ashamed to show his face any longer.

I bowed my head. All of this was hopeless. We were caught and they were going to squeeze all the information they could from us then leave us in a shallow grave. But Auggie didn't know anything. Maybe he could still make it out of here alive.

"What do you want from us?" I asked Fabien. I then whispered to Auggie, "When I say three, I want you to run. Don't stop and don't look back. I'll follow from behind." I lied, knowing that I wouldn't. They wanted me and I was going to let them have it. I just wanted Auggie to be safe. I couldn't drag him down with me.

He slightly nodded his head. His eyes still focused on Fabien. I could see he was making a plan of his own.

"Don't Auggie. Listen to me," I whispered.

Fabien chuckled. "Not us, it's you. I'm sure by now you know that the work we do is secret. We plan to keep it that way. You have been sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. We know that you're something special so we have a special job for you," he said and started walking towards us.

I knew what he was talking about. He wanted to get to my grandmother, that was why Toby was with me. He needed me to get to her. But I wasn't about to let that happen. I knew that she would never buy into a ransom, and I wouldn't want her to. "She won't do what you hope she will."

He shook his head with a smile as if I didn't get it. "Oh but you see, you don't know your family then. Who said we wanted just her?" he said calmly. Now he was only about 15 yards away from us. With every step he took, I could feel my body get tenser as if it was a spring going to pop or melt under the pressure. 

I couldn't be a ransom, I wasn't going to have gram make that choice. I picked up the gun and held it to my head.

"Annalise, no!" Auggie shouted.

Fabien smiled at me as he stopped walking. "So that was unexpected."

"I'll do it," I threatened as I cocked the gun. I didn't know much about MIA but I knew that I rather this then letting them take me in.

"I don't deny that. But come on, Annalise, I just want to talk about your family. Is that too much to ask for?" he asked as he started to walk towards us again.

Tears fell down my face as my hand shook. It was now or never. I took a deep breath and pulled the trigger, however nothing happened. The gun was empty. Toby must have unloaded the guns before this. He was expecting me to use them.

In a second, Fabien was beside me. He grabbed a hold of my arm and said, "Suicidal, I never thought of you to be. Even at your low point a few years back, I never expected this from you."

Fabien had been looking into me for years. I wanted to know why. But before I got any information Auggie needed to get out. I looked at Auggie and shouted at him to run.

The next events went so fast. I watched as Auggie ran for the exit. I grabbed a knife from my pocket and cut Fabien's leg. He yelled in pain but then grabbed the knife from me and tried to use it against me but I dogged it.

"Don't you think a gun wound is enough?" I said and punched him in the face. He fell to the ground with a smack. I think I knocked him out. But I didn't care to pay that much attention as I shook my hand.

I looked around and saw Auggie a fair ways away from me, fighting a guy. He was close to the back door. If I helped him, maybe we could get out of this alive together. I took a step forward but someone grabbed my arm.

I looked to see the deep blue eyes of Toby, full of sadness and regret. Gun fire started going off and I ducked. "Let me go!" I yelled at him. He touch was lava and it burned to my bone.

He looked pained. I wanted to show him how much I hated him. "You need to know..." Toby started to say but I didn't want to put up with his lies anymore, so I punched him in the stomach to get free of his grasp.

I looked back at Auggie and he waved me towards him. We were going to get out of this place. I felt excitement about the idea and each step gave me more power. We were almost home free. We could do this. Hope rose in me like a wave.

Auggie smiled lightly as if he read my mind then his smile slowly slid down his face. He stumbled to the ground as he looked at his shirt turning to a red color.

The shred of hope I had was ripped from my death grip grasp. For a moment, everything stopped as I ran to him. I dropped to me knees right beside him and saw his chest was bleeding badly from some injury. "Auggie?!" I asked as my voice shook. I put my hands over his chest and felt blood ooze between my fingers. Uncontrolled tears rolled down my face.

I wasn't leaving without him and they knew that. I would let them capture me if it meant that he would be saved.

"It's ok, I got him," he said then smiled a weakly at me.

I shook my head. He already looked so pale. He was loosing too much blood. "Auggie, you have to stay with me. I need you," I sobbed. I needed him like the air I breathed. He was like family. I couldn't see the world without him.

"You see this is what happens when you don't corporate," Fabien said coming closer to us wiping blood from his lower lip. Obviously I didn't knock him out. "The same thing will happen to you soon enough."

I frowned at him then looked down at Auggie. He frowned lightly at me. we were going to die and there was nothing anyone could do.
