"Uh... Hi," I say awkwardly.

"More mutants, huh?" Says a tall, blond boy with a faint scar across his eye.

"Guess so," replies a girl with natural, fire red hair and tons of freckles.

"Make room," says a shorter, brown haired boy with black, squared glasses. We just kinda stood there until the red head girl walk up to us and put out a hand. We all shook the hand in front of us.

"I'm Sierra (SEE SIERRA I TOLD YOU I WOULD PUT YOU IN THE STORY *coughs* Ahem... Where were we?). Don't mind asking for my last name. I can't remember," she says. The blonde boy walks over and puts out a hand. We all shake it but when he reaches Cam he winks at her flirtatiously and she blushes. I feel I twist of jealously in my gut. I scowl at him for a second.

"Name's Aaron," he says cooly. I hate him. I knew the moment I saw him he was trouble.

The kid with the glasses stays in the back, studying the wall like its a painting, but all I see is white.

"Chris," he mumbles, still focusing. I nod and put my hands in my pockets. I felt something smooth and small so pull it out slowly. A key. I swear I never put that in there. Cameron peeks over my shoulder curiously.

"What's that?" She asks me.

"A key-"

"To what?"

"I don't know...I never put it in there..." She frowns.

"Can it get us out of here?" Asks Max.

"There's no keyhole."

"There my not be a keyhole," says Chris, the guy staring at the wall. He looks at us this time. "But there's a code. If I could figure it out, it might take a few hours, but-okay. Starting over. Here's my plan. In a little while I'll have the code, Aaron will walk through the wall," he chuckles. "I can't believe those government idiots don't know you can walk through walls," he coughs. "Anyway, he'll dial in the code. We walk out and Sierra will make a force field around us and then- bang! We're out."

"Um question. Why didn't you guys escape before?" Asks Max.

"Too many guards. We didn't stand a chance," responds Sierra. Max nods.

"Sound like a plan?" Chris asks. No one says anything. I think we all want to escape this cruel prison so we don't even have to answer.
