The Lab

Chapter 9

I sprinted as fast as I could, fully aware that the thing was not far behind us. We were about to make it to a blast door, where we could cut off the creature. I hear someone stumble and fall. I looked back, and saw that it was Unit 9. Before I could respond to the issue, he was yanked by the creature, and I looked away as I heard his shouts that ended moments later. We made it to the blast door, and closed it. We heard the creature's footsteps walk away from the blast door. I guess it had found something more important than us. There was then a silence between us all. So much had just happened. I tried to break the silence by saying, " We are not far from the labs where the map said the radio was." There were a few moments of silence before Unit Eleven responded, " Alright, let's hurry up and get the $%!^ out of here. " We started to proceed down the hallway. We came across a tattered map, and it showed that the lab set consisted of two labs, and it was only a few turns away. We started going the way the map told us to go, but then we came across a wall in the hallway, completely blocking off the path. When I examined it closer, I saw that it was a blast door. Unit Four kept guard a little ways, watching out to see if the creature came or not while me and Unit Eleven fidgeted with the blast door, trying to open it. After a few minutes, I opened the passcode panel for the blast door and fidgeted with the wires, trying to see what would make it open. Unit Eleven tried to pry open the door with scrap metal and other things, but that didn't work. About three minutes later I tried putting together this blue and red wire, and the zapped a bit. I pulled them apart, to try to prevent an electrical fire, but the door opened a little bit and shut again after I took them apart. "Do that again, you almost opened it." said Unit Eleven. I put the wires together, and they zapped as the doors opened. Unit Four then started shooting down the hallway, and I saw that the creature had gotten through that other blast door, or maybe went around it via the vents. "Hurry up and go! Don't worry about me!" said Unit Four as he tried to keep the creature back with his gun. I didn't want to leave him to die like this, but I knew there was no other way to make sure that someone survives this to tell the government and public. Unit Eleven went through the door, and I jumped through the door as it closed. A moment later there was a loud bang! against the wall followed by something, or someone, getting dragged against the door before being dropped and whatever else that son of a gun creature did. We saw the two labs, and we decided that I would look around the left one and Unit Eleven would look around the right one.
