The man opens a door to a dark room and shoves me inside, but I don't turn around and I just wait for the door to close, leaving me in the dark. The man locks the door and leaves, but still all I do is just wait, because Brenner was wrong. I am ready and he has put me right where I need to be to make my escape.
I sit up by the door and just listen, and after a while I start to remember how I used to scream to be let out of the dark room, and how after what must have been hours, I would lose my voice from all that screaming.
The faint sounds of footstep from outside shake me out of my daydream, and I close my eyes. Even though I'm in the dark, I find closing my eyes allows me to completely focus on what I'm about to do next.
Although I don't know who is outside, I'm able to roughly picture where they are and focus on that area. I find their mind and project a complete physical illusion of the man who brought me to the dark room, making them appear to be standing just outside the door. They are a perfect projection, not like the show I put on for Brenner.
"Hey, can you help me out here?" I make them say.
I listen and hear the other person reply, "Uh, how long is this going to take?"
"I just need to bring one of them back to their cell. Don't worry they're not dangerous."
"Well what do you need help with then?" I hear the other person say.
"I misplaced my keys." I make the man say and show the other person that the man doesn't have any keys.
"Agh, are you new here?" the other person almost shouts, and I hear them approach the door and unlock it.
I quickly move away from the door and it swings open. Then the other person looks inside and sees me sitting in a corner of the room.
"I got a feeling they're going to be trouble." I make the man say and the other person takes the bait and goes inside. As the other person tries to pull me up, their hand goes right through me and the illusion disappears.
This time the real me runs up to the other person and I take the keys and radio from their belt. They then quickly turn around, but I've already reached the door, and I shut and lock it before they have a real chance to stop me.
