Cisco takes a few seconds to decide their final destination. Trying to get to Specials HQ is probably risky as hell because it's out of the way and if they're seen and followed, they're screwed and so are all the Specials that use that place as a safe space. So that's out. If they can get inside a building, though, especially one that's unassuming and out of the way, then they'll be fine. He thinks.
"Okay, stay on my left. Keep your head down. On three, we go," he explains in an urgent whisper, giving her hand a squeeze that he hopes she perceives to be at least a little bit reassuring.
Once he's sure they're on the same page, Cisco takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly to steady himself, and then he counts off. When he gets to three, he takes off, dragging her with him, keeping his head low and his shoulders slumped as he goes. Cisco pulls the girl behind several obstacles to give them a few seconds and to allow the gunfire to move or cars to squeal by before continuing and they manage to get themselves into a dilapidated warehouse a few minutes later.
Cisco lets go of her hand and flops back against the door he's just closed, trying to catch his breath. Panting between words, he tries to explain why they're in a crappy, neglected warehouse and not some place that looks the part of a safe place to hide. "They're focusing...on destruction of...property, from the...looks of it. This place...is a shithole...so I think...we'll be safe here." Because he doubts they'll waste their time with a broken down building when there's more important sectors to destroy.
