Kevin and Nick were sleeping before they had to head back out to the prison. AJ and Angel had found a deck of cards and were playing to kill some time. Jen still hadn't come back yet and Angel and AJ were beginning to not like her. They couldn't understand why she would just take off and not tell anyone where she was going and why. Just then Mike had come in. He was tacking down a floor plan to the prison.
"Find anything?" AJ asked and Mike sat down at the table.
"Yep. I got the floor plan. I had to go to another hide out about 10 miles away to get it. That's why it took me so long." Mike explained. "Since they don't have to be up for another hour I'll let them sleep. They need all the rest they can get," Mike said looking at Nick and Kevin.
"Yea. Kevin works really hard and Nick is still healing but Nick doesn't want to be left out. Don't blame him." AJ said. "Wanna join us in a game of cards while we wait?" AJ asked and Mike nodded.

Rachel began to stir and Brian woke up from his dozing.
"Agh" She groaned quietly.
"Rachel, wake up." Brian whispered. Rachel began to open her eyes. She wrapped an arm around her stomach.
"Ow. Man I hurt." She whispered in pain. Brian's heart broke. It was his fault.
"I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over me. My big mouth did this to you." Brian said tears filling his eyes.
"Brian, it is ok. It isn't your fault." She whispered.
"I'm so sorry." Was all Brian could whisper to her. Rachel slowly sat up and looked at Brian. She could see that he was feeling really bad about what happened.
"Look at me." She whispered and Brian looked up. "It isn't your fault and I am not blaming you at all." She said as a tear ran down his face. She wiped it away and gave him a hug. "Now, if you keep blaming yourself I will smack the hell out of you." She said as she pulled away with a little smile on her face. Brian smiled a little too. She scooted up to where she was side by side with Brian and put her head on his shoulder. "We'll get out of here." She said and he only hoped she was right.
.........
Nick slowly woke up. He stretched and wiped his eyes to get the sleep out of them. He looked over and Kevin was still sleeping and then looked over the room and saw Angel, AJ and Mike playing cards.
"Hey Mike. When did you get back?" Nick asked causing the 3 to look at him.
"About a half hour ago. I figured I would let you guys rest. Don't wake Kev. He still has another half hour." Mike said as Nick got off the bed.
"I'll be back. Nature calls." Nick said leaving the room. And the three went back to their game. Nick came back minutes later with an apple in hand. He took a seat at the table still dressed in the black outfit that he had on when he came back from the stake out. He spotted the papers on the table next to Mike.
"Are these the floor plans?" He asked and Mike nodded. "Can I look?" Nick asked.
"I don't know. They are for Kevin." Mike said nervously.
"I was out with him last night and I am going again tonight." Nick stated. Mike looked at him and then nodded it was ok. Nick opened up the roll of paper. He gasped. 'Boy it is a big place!' He thought to himself.
"When Kevin wakes up. I will tell you both where I think Rae and Bri are held." Mike said and Nick nodded. Nick watched the others finish their game of cards. Nick then went over and woke Kevin up.
"Kevin wake up." Nick said tapping Kevin's shoulder. Kevin opened his eyes.
"What time is it?" He asked sleep still evident in his voice.
"7pm. We have to leave soon. Mike came back with the floor plan too." Nick said and Kevin wiped his eyes and went over to the table. He looked at the plans and patted Mike on the back.
"Good job Mike." Kevin smiled.
"I think Brian and Rachel are being held here." Mike said pointing to a part of the floor plan." I heard that they take the captured freedom fighters and dangerous slaves to this part of the prison." Mike finished.
"Ok so there is probably a lot of guards in this area. If we can get Sutherland to contact us he can let us know all of this." Kevin said sitting down. "Jen come back yet?" Kevin asked and four heads shook their heads 'no'. "Ok well we have to assume she isn't coming back and take on what she would have done. I have no idea where she is." Kevin said frustration evident in his voice. Just then James came into the room holding a piece of paper. He handed it to Kevin and left.
"What does it say?" AJ asked.
"It says Sutherland got the message and he is going to get the info back to us on where they are and how many people are guarding them. He is going to possibly try and get them out. He said he is going to meet up with Nick and I when his shift ends but the east entrance. His shift ends at 11:30pm and he will give us some info then." He said and turned to Nick. "Ok lets go get ready." They both got up said bye to everyone and went to the door. Instead of putting that black goop on their face again, Kevin was able to scrounge up some ski masks. They headed out into the dark.
