"If you're bringing them with the others, they changed the location. They're now in Area B15." The woman says.
"Thank you. You don't mind pointing me in that direction." I make my projection of the man say. "I still get a little confused around here."
The woman gives an odd look, but the man who's with her says, "I think it's just on the right here. Don't worry, I understand. I've been here eight years and everything still looks the same to me. They could at least colour code it."
I wait for the woman and the man with her to leave, and then follow their directions leading me to Area B15. There's no one around, but as I approach two large doors, I hear a women speaking on the other side.
"That's not your job. Is that clear Caroll?" the woman says.
"Yes, I'm sorry Agent Frazier." A man replies, and I recognise his voice. Caroll is the man Brenner would send to hurt me.
"Alright then, he's waiting." says Frazier. I hear footsteps approaching from the other side of the doors and move away as I hold my breath.
Caroll walks out, but he moves right past me. I've made his mind unable to see me, but I can only do this if I'm completely still. I catch a quick glimpse of the room beyond the doors as they are about to close and see all of the other children like me, but there are too many men and women with them as well, and the woman called Fraizer.
I don't know if Eleven is with them, but I know I can't get all of them out like this. The doors close and I turn around to see Caroll getting further away, and then I remember that Fraizer said "he's waiting."
I know that could only mean Brenner, and so I follow Carroll, because Brenner will be how I can get us out of this place, how all of us can get out.
I'm careful to keep far enough from Caroll so I don't lose him, and I'm lucky again that I don't meet anyone along the way. I've been very lucky so far, but I already knew that I would only have a short amount of time before someone came to check on me, and this would be my one and only chance at it.
Caroll enters a room and then through a window, I see him walk up to Brenner. I dare to get a little closer and I see that there's a child in the room too, and I wonder if it could be Eleven.
BZZZZ! Shocking pain hits every part of my body and I fall to the ground. I look up at someone standing over me, but they are all a blur as my thoughts become confused and drift into a memory.
