Neil was told to act instinctively...and unbelievably doing just that was said to free him. In front of him were two people, both of whom he was sure he knew but he couldn't make them out in the cold darkness. Neil glanced back... the guards were hot on the trail but what he also saw was the pitfall up ahead. The three of them watched as a few guards fell into it and the rest proceeded to pursue them.
''Officer! Arrest him!'' They yelled towards Neil. He looked down at his clothes; yes, he was wearing clothes just like them. Neil smiled crookedly. It was time to have some fun.
''Stand back!'' Neil pulled out the gun the guy with the fire tattoo had given and pointed it at the captor.
''Step away from the girl, or I'll shoot you!'' Neil took one step at a time towards the swinging bridge forcing the other party onto it as well. When they were pretty much onto it, the guards were nearing.
''Slash the ropes!'' Neil whispered. The captor slashed it as the guards were about to step onto it. Fiona added a high pitch scream for effect. Then gun shots were heard. The guards froze.
The bridge went down, into the swarming foamy waters, but the three of them landed onto a raft. One of the dozen was there, and she quickly took them around the waters and away from the flood. Neil looked up to see the guards check the waters many times. When he reached shore, the complete dozen was there to welcome him.
''Good to have you back Neil!'' Gary clapped his back.
''How did you guys plan this whole thing? I mean it was so well thought of!'' Neil basked in the delight of his friends.
''Simple'' said Mackenzie as she narrated.
''We read through the laws to see if we can haul you out somehow. But unfortunately, the hotel people were framing us, without fault. Someone stole the bottle from Jeremy's room and planted the evidence there. That's when decided to play dirty. A few calls to my uncle and I got us into the station. Rented out uniforms, bribed a few and planned the escape but we were stuck with how to conceal your escape.''
''Thats when Jeremry had to add his dramtic ideas to the plan" said Mark.
"Well I figured to pose you dead would be the best option, but then again we didn't want you dead. It needed to look accidental as well. And since we kinda look alike..'' Jeremy paused as Neil shook his head. ''We staged an encounter of some sort''
''And I helped!" squeaked Fiona
''I got to hand it to you guys for this plan... thanks a lot!"'
''Save it buddy, we got a plane to catch. Lets get out of this dammed place!'' said Brandon which was followed by a ring of cheers.
The next morning the local newspapers ran the headlines of how the brave officer went down with the culprit. Little did they know that they both were alive. By then, the dozen were high up in the sky on the way home. They weren't afraid, nor nervous... let anything come, as long as the dozen stayed together, anything was possible! Anything!
