chapter 27

More day 2 from Leah's POV
I told Shelby if she could distract the guards with her anaphylactic shock, then I would find a way out of my room and try to get us help. I have to figure this out so I can protect the girls, especially Fatin. Fatin has done so much for me and I have to do this to not only help her the way she helped me but also to show her how important she is to me. But to do this I'm gonna need help from someone on the inside. I don't know who I can trust here but I think my best bet is agent young. I think I could get him to feel bad for me to pitty me and use that to my advantage, I mean I have spent my whole time here acting week and lovesick so people won't suspect me, so maybe it's time I play it up even more. I need to get him alone and away from cameras somewhere I can gain his trust and then snatch his key card or something.

Getting him to take me outside sounds like the best plan to me. Oh and speak of the devil he's about to pass my door so I guess now is my chance. I begin to pound on the door as he passes it and make quick dramatic breaths.

"I need air, I feel like I can't breathe." I say while looking at him and still hitting against the door

"Um let me get the nurse" he says in a panic

Shit no not a nurse

"No now, now I need air" I say desperately

With that, he quickly comes to the door and scannes his key card. Then when he opens the door I Immediately try to run out.

"Whoa whoa, hold on, hold on, breath breath " he says as he blocks me with his arm

"I..I'm sorry" I say while breathing heavily

"No no no don't apologize for having a panic attack, alright come on let's get you to the med station."

Crap he's suggesting actual medical care again this is not good. It's fine I just have to stay firm on this.

"No no it smells so antiseptic down there, I just" I start but then relies I need to hit him in the heart he seems like a nice guy seems like he wants to help me so I need to make him feel inclined to do this for me

"Is there any world, any world at all in which I could, maybe go outside, like outside outside?" I ask looking straight into his eyes

and for the cherry on top, I add

"I'm literally begging you"

He looks around for a second and then has me follow him outside. Once we get out there he offers me some fries and a seat but I chose to stand. While I'm standing there eating a fry I decide to keep him feeling bad for me by saying

"It's strange here like we're locked in, it's cramped, and it's perpetually dark."

"Yeah I hear you, this place sort of feels like it was designed by vampires, huh? " he jokingly says

"Hey look if you're still a little iffy I could have my partner come by and see you" he adds

I definitely don't want to deal with that asshole

"No I don't, I don't want to talk to him, I don't need a therapy moment I just need normalcy. Like all I want is a nice boring, normal conversation." I tell him

"Ah you want boring, it doesn't get more boring than forcing people to look at pics of their kids." He says as he holds up his phone showing me a picture of his daughter

This is an unexpected turn but a good one I can take his phone to "look at the pic" then go to maps and find out where we are.

"That's my daughter when she made the school team here come take a look at it" he continues

I walk over to him and he hands me the phone, I look at his daughter for a second almost getting caught up in how cute she is, but then I realize I need to get back to the plan. So I try to open up maps and I need to do it as quickly as possible without him noticing. I decide to make some small talk to distract him as I slowly reach my pinky towards the home button and lightly scroll towards the maps app and just as I'm about to click it.....he catches me.

"Woah woah" he says as he walks towards me and takes the phone from my hand

"I.. I'm sorry" I say through a stutter from shock

"What exactly were you planning on doing just then?" He asks me in anger

I decided I might as well tell him the truth

"I was going to the maps app, to try to find out where we are in the world " I say lowly

I can't tell if he's mad or not though so I add "I'm sorry it's just, the low information, the not knowing." I say sadly

There is a small silence before I apologize one last time.

He begins to move towards me and looks at me sincerely.

"Were on a small landmass in the Pacific, about 150 miles east from where you were stranded, roughly 800 miles west from Cusco." He tells me softly

I'm glad he told me but honestly the information makes me feel even worse, I mean we are so far away from home how are we ever gonna get out of here on our own.

"Peru" I state hopelessly

"You mean were near Peru" I add as I put my head in my hands

"Leah look I know it's tough living on limited info but it won't last much longer, hand to god it won't" he tells me apologetically

"Meantime, that part of you that needs to know things, you might want to turn the dial down on it, not because I don't want you to be curious, but because I want you to stay sane." He adds

We chat for a few more minutes and as much as I appreciate how nice he's been to me that doesn't change my goal, I need a way out, but he clearly knows what he's doing so stealing his key card might be too bold but I think stuffing and napkin in the lock part of my door may work so I take another fry and hold my hand up implying that I need something to wipe it with. He looks over and offers me a napkin I wipe my hand with it then crumble it up into a tight ball and hold it in my fist. Then he stands up and suggests we head back in and I follow him threw the hall and to my room. Once we reach my door he scans his card to unlock it for me, I walk to my door and place my body by the lock I stand in the door and thank him as my hand slowly reaches up to shove the napkin in the lock hole. Once he leaves and the door shuts I wait a second and then open it slightly to make sure it worked.

Uh thank god, now I have a way out so tonight when Shelby is distracting the guards I can try and get us all out for good.

Writer- hey guys so I know some people have been saying the girls were in the bunker for a lot longer than I have them there, but when I started writing and thinking about bunker scenes season 2 hadn't come out yet and while watching season 1 I didn't feel like they were in there that long but seeing all the stuff with Martha in season 2 I now realize they had to have been in there for a while. Anyway, it's too late now but I'm sorry about the timeline feeling weird. I'm also sorry for the slow update I suck but I am trying hard to get the next chapter out fast. Xoxo
