Chapter 9: Sycophant

M/N'S POV

As soon as Gilda and Don left we continued to talk. "So..." Norman started.

"The next thing we look at is..." Emma continued.

"Outside." The three said together pointing their fingers as well.

"We already got a lot of stuff done on the inside," Ray said as he put one of his hands in his pocket.

"Training's going well." Norman chimed in crossing his arms over his chest. "The trackers can be broken which leaves..." Norman trailed off.

"Learning about the outside and outsmarting the adults." Ray finished then sat on the bed we were around. "Once that's done... we can clear the wall for sure."

'that's actually easier said than done.'

"Next is checking out the escape route," Emma said.

"The escape we've planned out consists of three steps." Norman started as he paced around the room. "One, we ascend the wall. Two, we safely get as far away as we can. Three, we learn how to survive and become self-reliant. We have everything we need to pass the first step. As for the second." Norman paused for a moment before beginning again. "The outside is key. When we leave, we should run as far as we can, so let's examine and prepare."

'and where does he expect us to go exactly? we have no idea where we even are right now much less where to go when we're out.' I thought to myself. I won't say anything though because I'll just find out myself later. I never did get to finish my little chat with Krone after all.

"We need info about the area outside," Ray stated.

Emma spun around and faced Ray. "Oh! When I climbed up a tree, I saw a really big forest!" She exclaimed raising her hand.

"great, now we know we're in a forest and don't know how to get out of it. good job emma." I said finally taking for once. Emma looked like she had deflated from my comment.

"Well, we still need to confirm stuff like that," Ray said directing his attention towards me.

Norman turned away from the window and looked in our direction. "Let's look into it starting tomorrow."

Emma nodded "Oh, yeah, there was one more thing I wanted to mention." Emma brought up. Norman let out a hum indicating her to continue. "I have someone I want you to meet."
