"They told me that the end is near
We gotta get away from here
We never learn, we been here before
Why are we always stuck and running from
The bullets?
The bullets"

Carter quickly made his way back to the room where he ran through the open door with a big smile on his face.  "That was amazing.  I can't believe we-".  He noticed that she wasn't in the room.  "Clara?"  He questioned then looked back out the door as a nearby nurse was walking down.

"Hey!  Where's Clara?"  He asked and she looked back to him.

"The girl from Group A?"  She asked and he nodded.  "Oh, she was transferred to somewhere else." With that she left and Carter just stood there for a minute before rushing back in the room and slamming the door closed.

"Fuck!" He yelled and ran his hands through his hair harshly as he breathed out. They took her. They took her, just like they did with Anna and that guy from Group C. He suddenly looked to her bed and walked over to it, seeing the deck of cards on the bed.

Carter picked them up before sliding the pile out, he went through a few cards before he found the key card, a smile spread across his face as he grabbed it.

"I'm getting us out of here Clara."

1:00 am

Carter crawled through the vents, the only thing on him was Clara's deck of cards and the key card. He moved quickly then saw an opening, looking to make sure it was clear before he jumped down. He used the key card to open the door, but nothing was there.

He knew Clara was in here somewhere. It's WCKD. There is always something bad behind a certain door. He made his way down the hall before he found another door and used the key card to open it yet again. He walked in and immediately stopped, the door closing behind him.

There were giant tubes that were filled with water, inside were small grievers.  Carter walked in further before he was facing Anna. She was strapped up with some kind of oxygen mask on her. She was hooked up like some lab rat. Then there was the boy from Group C and-

"Clara!" Carter stood in front of her as he looked at everything around her.  "What the hell are they up too?"  He whispered as he moved some hair away from her face then looked at everything once again.  Analyzing how to get her off of this. 

That's when he just started to unhook everything from her.  "Please don't make an alarm noise.  Please don't make an alarm noise."  He repeated before pressing a button that lowered her to the ground.  He quickly caught her before she fell and removed the oxygen tube off her. 

It only took a few seconds before Clara's eyes shot open and she whacked at him.  "Hey. Hey. It's Carter."  He told her, grabbing one of her hands.
