El tilted her head, Billy's body crashing back into the sauna room wall.
"Now!" Mike yelled as El slammed the door shut, him and Will putting a broken pipe on the handle to avoid him getting out. Rocky gapped as Billy beat on the door.
"Chill out!" Rocky yelled at him.
"Open the door!" Billy stared at him.
"For the attitude, no." he said in return, Max slapped his arm in disbelief.
The action caught Billys attention, "Max."
Their eyes all turned her way, the redhead hesitated a second, "Do it."
"Max! Let me out of here!" Billy yelled as Will turned the sauna heat up. Rocky tossed an arm infront of her at the older boys outburst. El pushed the group behind her as she stood bravely first.
"You kids, you think this is funny? You kids think this is some kind of sick prank, huh?" Billy asked through the glass, spitting on it, "You little shits think this is funny? What is this? Open the door. Open the door!"
He made them all jump slightly, repeating himself over and over again to open the door. Rocky glared. "Somethings definitely not right."
Billy yelled out loudly as Will called out, "We're at 220."
Sobbing echoed from inside, "It's not my fault. It's not my fault. It's not my fault, Max. I promise you, it's not my fault."
Max slowly approached, Rocky held her back as she gave him a knowing look. He hesitated, letting her go.
"What's not your fault, Billy?" she asked, peering through the foggy window.
"I've done things, Max. Really...bad things. I didn't mean to." Billy cried from within the smaller, heated room. The group behind Max slowly approached as well with their own looks of fear and panic, "He made me do it."
"Who made you do it?" Max asked, voice small and gentle.
"I don't know, it was like a shadow." Billy spoke. Rocky kept closer to Max with the rest of the group backing as far away as they could, "Like a giant shadow. Please, Max."
"What did he make you do?" she asked him.
"It's nod my fault, okay? Max, please." Billy begged, crying and yelling at the same time, "Please believe me. It's not my fault. I tried to stop him, I did. Please believe me, Max."
Max began to cry as she put a hand to the glass, "Billy, it's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay. We want to help you. You just have to talk to us, okay?"
"I feel him." Will mumbled, his hand coming up to the back of his neck, "He's activated."
Mike looked forward, "Max, get away from the door."
"What?" she turned back.
"Get away from the door!" Mike yelled, Billy hitting the window as glass flew everywhere. Rocky ran forward, grabbing Max's shoulders and yanking her left as they stumbled into the nearest wall.
