Eira laughed and took off after him. His longer legs gave him a slight advantage but she wasn’t too far behind. After a minute or so if running, she took a sharp right, “Wrong way stupid!” And now she was in the lead.

(Omg, my screen messed up and it was just showing the same reply over and over)
(Same here)
Cyrus looked back at Luna, a look of concern filling his eyes. "What is it?"
"A-Alex is at-t-t Is at-t-t," Luna took a deep breath trying to just mentally prepare herself, "A-Alex is b-back at P-Panther's."
"Damn this maze of a building!" Uriah turned around and followed Eira but she hot the lead. If this place wasn't so big I could win. He knew he was going to lose because he had no idea where he was going. Finally he caught up, but decided to just run beside her.
This statement knocked the wind out of Cyrus, almost as if he had been kicked square in the chest.
"Wh-what?" he said feebly, almost completely out of breath, "Oh my god… That poor man…"
"I-I-I was th-there t-too. A-At least u-until a f-few months a-ago," Luna said looking down and stuttering worse than before, "I-I got o-out by sheer l-luck. W-we need t-to go b-back for h-him."
Cyrus roughly ran both hands through his hair, then kind of held his face in his hands.
"Okay… alright, alright… I need some time to think…"
He started to walk to the other side of the room. He held his arm out slightly above him, his palm pressed up to the wall. Cyrus breathed in deeply, then exhaled. He did this a few more times to try to keep himself calm. Obviously, he wanted to rush in and help his friend, but it was far too dangerous. But if he didn't do anything, the guilt would eat him alive.
After a few more minutes of running, Eira found Cyrus and Luna. She stopped, panting and took in their concerned faced before her’s dropped, “What’s happened?” She asked through ragged breaths.
Luna jumped slightly at Eira's voice, she turned to Eira and said in her still stuttery voice, "A-Alex is a-at P-Panther's. W-we need t-to go a-and get h-him."
Eira’s eyes widened in shock, “W-What? He’s with… gosh no. We have to go get him… like now!”
Cyrus was still leaning to face the wall. He did not turn to look at Eira when she walked in. His hands were trembling violently, and his knees had become a little shaky. He was so frustrated at himself; he thought he'd gotten this under control…
"You both know why we can't do that!" He shouted, sounding furious, though he was only horrified and concerned.
"C-calm d-down Eira," Luna responded, "W-we need a plan f-first."
"What?" Uriah didn't know how to process the news he had just heard. And right when things were looking good again. There's no way I can go back to the company right now. He sighed pulled out his phone and walked out. He would have to call his partner to take over for now.
(I have to leave for a bit… I should be back this evening sometime)
(Okay.)
“I don’t care why we can’t do that Cyrus,” Eira shouted back, running a shaky hand through her hair, “We’re getting him back tonight and not just leaving him there to endure torture for another minute!”
(Gotcha)
"E-Eira!" Luna shouted slightly, "I-I agree. B-but we need some semblence of a p-plan!"
Eira looked like she was about to protest, glaring at Cyrus before she sat down on the floor, “Guess you’re right…” She muttered.
Luna let out a quiet sigh. Cyrus and Eira were already getting emotional, Luna really hoped she didn't have to lead the charge. Meirda that would be awful. Sure, she could probably do it, but it would be difficult.
(i don't know why, but i find it funny that they're trying to make a plan even though he has already escaped and passed out at the front door.)
(Ooft, well, they don’t know that…)
(Nope, lol.)
(Lol it's kind of tragic actually…)
"I'm sorry… I'm so, so sorry…" Cyrus whispered, "We'll sure as hell try, but if no plan seems viable, we're not putting everyone else at risk… We can't- we couldn't possibly…"
"Thank you, I'll make sure to pay you extra." Uriah hung up the phone and sighed. He could hear the panic in everyone's voice. It was all a bit much for him. "Come on Freedom." Uriah walked to the training room to blow off some steam. He wrapped his hands and went to the punching bag.
(Yeah… But we love these oblivious idiots)
“Yes, yes we could,” Eira said, standing slowly, “We could do it if we tried. And I don’t give a damn if I die doing it but as long as he’s outta there then that’s all that matters.”
"And if we were to lose three other people along the way? No! That's ridiculous! If you can sit down and think of a way to minimize damage, I will consider helping, but we can't drag everyone into this…"
He eyed Luna carefully. He didn't want her to go back there- not after the trauma she had endured. He also didn't think it was a good idea to send anyone back at all, just for safety reasons. Besides, what if Alex was dead, and was just there to bait them in, or something else went horribly wrong?
