Chapter 8

The noise had died down, so I'm assuming they have stopped openly looking for me. I'm not stupid. I continue crawling through the hole and I come to a small door. I crack the door and I hear Mister's voice, "We need to find her. She could be trying to find out the truth about her parents," he says with urgency in his voice. I wait for some time, then eventually they leave. I rush into the room and pick up anything I can use as a weapon. I pick up a silver fork, a napkin, and a gun. I found chloroform in the hole thing and that's why I grabbed the napkin. I slowly walk towards the door and I see a guard standing outside of it. Mister must have been in here to ensure his safety. The man looks into the door and we make eye contact. I can't believe who it is, it's Mr. Oakland. Is everyone in this damn organization? He mouths to me, but I just shrug my shoulders. I can do many things, reading lips is not one of them. He fogs the window and writes that another guard is coming. He can't kill the guard because, well, he can't. He didn't elaborate and I don't think we have time to. I nod and open the door slowly pulling him inside, making it look like I got him. I shove him to the side and dab the napkin in the chloroform several times. The man comes in an I just attack his face with the napkin. In a matter of seconds he is out cold and I am left to carry him to the wall. "Mr. Oakland. Why are you here? How? What," I ask exasperatedly. He chuckles, more so to himself than me, "I work here. I'm close friends with your parents. I don't know what happened to them. All I've ever heard is that they are cowards and have decided to hide from the organization." I shake my head, "That isn't true, my parents would never." He nods, "Do you have a plan," he asks. I shake my head no, "I haven't had a plan a day in my life. I do things in the spur of the moment. I'm kidding. All you have to do is follow me Mr. Oakland and we will be okay," I respond. He nods his head and we both walk out. I head towards the morgue. I found a map in the cell and I've been following it. I just hope that Stacy isn't dead. She shouldn't be, but they could have done anything to her. We make it outside, easily, note to self, too easily. I continue anyway though. I go to a freshly dug hole and pull the body out. Stacy is barely breathing and I act quickly. "Mr. Oakland give her mouth to mouth," I yell to him. He shakes his head no while laughing, he does it anyway though. After about a minute she starts coughing, but she's breathing again. She looks up at me and smiles, "Perfect. We knew Oakland here would go to your side. You're going to die now princess." I just sit there, then I see someone dragging Mr. Oakland away. I go to run after him, "Ah, ah, ah. You aren't going anywhere sweetheart," Mister says in my ear. I feel the cold metal of a gun against my head. Crap! A trap was not part of the plan.
