Only four left but none with a will to live. The mother looked up with that annoying smile on her face.

- I've already killed two people, let me die -She said this quickly, thinking the rest would try to cover her mouth. Instead, The other jumped over her.

- Shut up! Just shut up! -He was crying- Did you just kill them to prove a point?! Filho da puta! Piranha!

The girlfriend pulled him away from The mother while The man put the piece of cloth that had fallen from The they's pocket when their body dropped. The other kept shouting things The man guessed were Portuguese swear words.

Sadly, they had to continue their research. The girlfriend and The other had just been looking around, so it was The man's turn. While walking to The girlfriend he looked back and saw The other sitting next to The mother without even looking at her. They had obviously changed the sitting place, but they were running out of spaces without corpses. The girlfriend blew The man's hair to get his attention and told him she had found something.

- What is this? -The man stared at a sign written in a foreign language- I don't know Russian.

- But I do -The girlfriend revealed to The man's surprise- It's like a very bad Russian though, not very advanced.

- Maybe the ones that trapped us here were forced to put this but they didn't want us to know what it said so they translated it to Russian with Google or something.

- The ones that trapped us here...It's like what The she said, we might be in a game.

- We don't know for sure. Anyway what does it say? -The man went back to the main topic.

- "Warning: The lights will turn green when the people left meet the requirements. Requirements to survive: The people here have 0 or less points. If they survive they will get the "pro" of self-control in their pros and cons list. If all those people who have 0 points at the beginning of the test are the only ones left at the end, they will all be freed. There can not be someone who had less than 0 points at the beginning of the test in a group of survivors, they must be alone to be freed. Enjoy." Enjoy they say...Fucking bitch. What is this?

- They call this a test so I don't think it's a game, they also say something about points however. It's pretty confusing... -The man kept looking at the sign even though he couldn't understand it. The girlfriend looked at The man and realized something.

- Wait, we finally discovered something! We are not so useless after all.

The girlfriend laughed and hugged The man who only looked at her, happy for her. "Let's tell the others" but when they turned around, they saw The other and The mother arguing. Well, The other shouting at The mother.

The other was looking outside the window. Not that he could see anything but it was better than seeing the inside. On the reflection he saw The mother do a weird arm movement. He tried to focus on what she was holding but his eyes unfocused unintentionally. When he was finally back he saw The mother had untied her hands and was writing something on her phone. The other quickly grabbed the phone, shouting at her. He looked at it and saw she was writing a note saying goodbye to...a friend maybe?

- Are you writing a goodbye letter? -He asked, angry- You don't get to say goodbye at a moment like this. If you are on the line between life and death it's your own fault, you could at least try to survive like we are doing. Who the fuck is "Zuwena" anyways? Your friend? Didn't know you had one.

He kept looking at the note even if there wasn't that much to look at. He then looked up and it was at that instant The mother died. Zuwena "The mother" Gowon, age: 35, time of death: 10:21 a.m.
