The labs of GreyWood

Life isn't fair down here

Every day was a fever dream for John. Bloodstained walls and his sanity is hanging by a thread. He can't tell Graham about Soldier, Graham has been torturing John for the majority of the generation. John won't spill any information about Soldier like his veins over the vaults floors, John was alive and thriving only because Graham has given him the chemical he also gave to Soldier. John has been in the vault 163 for about three months and was already feeling as if he was in hell. In Johns perspective, he was nearly dead. John has only got an hour of sleep in the past day, he wasnt able to think without somebody there to talk to him, and his vision was so blurry.

Johns exhaustion would pay off, though. Since John was doomed to stay there, he figured somebody would save him. As John has this opportunity to think while Graham is there, he ponders the idea of what Soldier could be doing right now. Finally, Graham said a few things to John

"Today, you are getting a break. I have decided, that you will be fed and get to roam the room. Do not worry about your injuries, the chemical you have made will help you." Graham left and promptly returned with a platter of some of Johns favourite food. John figured this was another way Graham will get to know Soldiers location. John didnt really care. John figured that Soldier has done other plans because he figured that Johns instructions were suspicious. Therefore he doesn't know where he is
As John finished the meal he chose, he just sat there with Graham staring at each other. Finally Graham spoke
"You know, I have given up trying to find your volunteer you have to hide from me, at this point I know I need to die"
"What are you talking about" John was confused as to what Graham meant by that.
"Soldier will eventually decide to fight me face-to-face, I don't know when, but it will happen, and I will lose."
John was still confused as to how Graham thought, so he asked more questions
"Why do you not care about dying?"
"Why does it matter? I done some pretty fucked up things" He responded
"Then what about me? I need an ounce of sanity in this hell impersonation of a place" John was very nauseous from bleeding out
"Good question, i am letting you roam this facility, but i have 24/7 surveillance on you now." Graham finished that sentence, and for a few seconds, they sat in silence. Seconds later he grabbed his key and unlatched the vault door. Graham walked outside and stood at the other side of the vault door.
"Go to the chemistry lab, we can get you cleaned up." Graham walked to his desk in his office on the other end of the hall. John found a scythe, took it apart, and used it to walk/limp to the stairwell that lead to the chemistry lab. As he peered into Grahams office, there was a large document booklet with a curiously coloured pen that looked like a fountain pen, but the tip of the pen looked more like a very sophisticated key. Graham was at his other desk reading a book to pass the time. John walked up the stairwell and got washed, given temporary medication to help with the bullet wounds and knife punctures. He found a tailor made three-pieced suit with his name and headed to the employee library to recover mentally.

Graham and John were relaxing in the library and talking, although it was very uncomfortable to talk to somebody powerful enough to kill him and proved it physically. Graham was becoming more unhygienic and more sociopathic. Graham was really good at hiding his emotions so even though he was practically a demon, he acted as if he was a well mannered waiter at a fancy restaurant. John And Graham both had the chemical they gave to Soldier, meaning the could live for an extra 100 years and regenerate the necessary vitamins and requirements their body needed meaning they were very healthy and tough. For years, it was just Graham and John, and the occasional scientists, tourists, doctors and business men giving GreyArrow the opportunity to expand their business. Graham wasn't very busy in the years between 1939 and 2010 until eventually he had an idea that gave him the ability to make him practically rule the world.... .. .
