The Final Exit

Chapter 7: Micheal

-They went this way! Follow me 421! Abby yelled while running, following the tracks she found. They were footprints and broken branches and she even found some small droplets of blood.

-Wait! Sergeant! 421 said as they grabbed Abby's wrist, stopping her in her tracks after they saw a child-like figure just ahead.

-Who are you, child! Abby said aggressively,gently pulling her wrist away from 421 as she saw the usual white gown given to experiment children and the tracking collar around his neck.

-I'm subject 267, but call me Micheal! The young boy said enthusiastically. He seemed to have black hair, green eyes and light skin. He reminded Abby of another experiment that looked femiliar...

-Look "Micheal" I'm lookingfor subject 001 and 004...do you know where they are!? Watch out, my gun is allergic to lies...The sergeant said aggressively yet with ahint of a sadistic tone.

Abby knew that this boy, almost 8 years old, had the ability to not feel any pain. But he can manipulate people and confuse them, by telling one lie and two truths in his sentences, thus making him classified "safe".

-they flew east, but Oltura left Amari alone in the camp. They are trying to find another safe place to hide, while struggling against the Failed Ones.

It was only after he finished his sentence that him and Abby heard the roars of 421. They saw them violently dissemboweling a failed one. It was impressive how they fought...aggressive, messy, but killed their targets each time. She smiled while admiring 421's physique, but couldn't enjoy this for long tho as she noticed the boy's shocked face at the gory mess.

-421! calm yourself! Now! She yelled loudly and aggressively.

-Ahem...anyways, thanks for the information...Micheal...

She said, walking away from the boy, dragging and pulling the tall figure with her (they are at least 6'3 and Abby is 5'9).

-Where is the lie and the two truths...Abby mumbled to herself. She knew the boy was trying to manipulate her into confusion.

-Maybe 001 took 004 and flew away with her, trying to find another safe place. The lie is that she left 004 alone? 421 tried explaining

-Yes...Why would she leave her "precious friend" behind !? The sergeant said with a clearly sarcastic and falsely piteous tone.

-Well, let me think... She said as they walked to a safe place to set up camp. 421 was behind her, close to her body as they unconsciously started to hold hands. They knew each other very well, ever since 421 was 12 and Abby was 16, they had started a friendship. Eventually, their friendship grew more and more closer.

They secretly enjoyed each others company, and even spent their free time together. It was even a rare moment where 421 was out of their cell to go to Abby and usually, they always ended up falling asleep on her lap or just ended up assisting her in her work. Anyway, it was always a good time around her.
