The Key Of Worlds

Chapter 3

When I finally woke up, I found that I was alone in a small empty room. The only furniture was the bed i occupied, other than that there was a door. They could of at least given me a room with a window. I would have promised to to jump out of it.

I slowly got up, pain shooting up from, well everywhere. My everything hurt. I made my way to the door. On my way I looked down to find myself in a hospital gown with nothing on my feet. I looked for something else to wear but of course there was nothing. I was freezing with just a hospital gown on so I took the sheets off my bed and wrapped them around me.

Time to explore. I decided my first action would be to find something decent to wear. Quietly opening the door, I poked my head out into the hallway. It was empty of people and like my room it had only white walls and doors. There was no one there. I had expected guards or maybe a doctor roaming around the halls. Well no one wants to watch an unconscious girl sleep.

I noticed that next to each of the doors was a metal plate with a room number, turning my head I saw that mine was 408. Judging from that I was most likely on the fourth floor. I started to walk down the hallway, checking each of the rooms as I went, none of them were locked and all of them were empty, so far it seemed I was the only resident of this floor. The rooms were basically the same save the position of the bed.

I reached the end of the hall and found a closet filled with medical and cleaning supplies. to my left was a coat rack that had a long black button down coat, along with a hat, mittens and a long woolen scarf. I quickly put them on, discarding the sheets. The coat was big on me, the end reaching just above my knees and the sleeves going far beyond my fingertips. I put on the black woolen gloves and hat, and wrapped the scarf around my neck. Clothes acquired.

Ok on to my next mission, getting out of here. My stomach growled. Never mind. Next mission, find food!

I checked to make sure no one was in the hallway before I moved out of the closet. You could never be too carefull while in an enemy's base. Jeez, this is turning into a spy movie. I quietly ran down the hallway to the other end. There I found a little alcove with two elevators, a doorway to the stairs on the right. But what really caught my attention was the vending machine. Filled to the brim with tasty chips.I searched my new found coat to see if there was any money in it. To my dismay there was none. My stomach growled again.

"Ok, ok I get it, hungry need food, now shush while I find money". I scolded pointing at my tummy.

I got down on my hands and knees and looked underneath the vending machine. Not able to see, I stuck my arm underneath. Blindly searching around I came across a crumpled piece of paper. i mulled my arm out from underneath and looked at my prize, a twenty dollar bill.

"Score!" I whisper yelled as I stood up. I looked at my choices in the machine. Finally I saw my prize, Cheese Doodles! My day just got a whole lot better.

I ended up buying two bags of Cheese Doodles and a bag of BBQ chips. Shoving the money and chips in the overly large pockets of my coat, I opened one of the bags of cheesy heaven.

Now, should I take the stairs or the elevator? I thought popping a doddle in my mouth. Spies always take the stairs and more people take elevators so with that sound logic I opened the door to the stairs. Freedom awaits!

I ran down the stairs stopping after each flight to catch my breath and eat more doodles.

I got to the first floor and about to open the door to take me out of the stairwell when I realized I didn't have any type of plan. What should I do if I get caught? I looked kind of suspicious, all dressed up to go out into the cold but with no pants or shoes. I also had no idea where I was, I could be two blocks away from my home of two states away.

I slumped against the wall, throwing my crumpled up empty bag of Cheese Doodles across the hall. What was I going to do?

Then the sound of people talking woke me from my thoughts. They were headed for the stairs, the weirdoes only spies use stairs. Freaking out I decided to go down another flight of stairs to the basement. I hid in the first room I could find.

Closing the door behind me, I blindly searched for the light switch. Finding it I turned around finding that I was not alone.
