I get to the ground floor but the door in front of me won't open. I look through the keys I took from the man in the dark room and I find some that have the letter G engraved on them. I try them on the door and eventually one of them works.
I go through the door and enter a parking lot. It's night time and no one is there, but I'm still careful. I walk all the way to the end of the parking lot and get to what looks like the front entrance of the building, where there is a man standing outside.
I hear a message come through their radio. "I need assistance in stairway A2. It looks like one of the guards fell, but they're still breathing. They might have a concussion."
I don't wait to hear the rest and I go towards the fence surrounding the building. I see the only way out is through a gate entrance, but there is a booth there and I hear music playing inside.
Quietly, I walk around the booth and onto the grass beside the road. The grass leads into the woods, and I know I can hide amongst the trees while following the road wherever it leads away from this place. As I pass the booth, I see through its window that it is empty and I sigh with relief.
CRACK! I turn to see a man walking out from the trees, and they stop for a second, appearing to look straight at me. The man takes out his torch and shines it at me, but I've already made myself invisible to them. The man shakes his head and starts walking back to his booth.
I wait until he's inside and then walk into the trees, and then I take one last look back at the building which was my prison, and I feel regret that I couldn't bring the others with me. I think of the pain they will suffer, but that one day they will be strong enough to get out, just like I did.
