-Ray's POV-
"I volunteered. I went to her. No, it's more accurate to say that I sold myself." I told him.
He looked at me, confused, "Why?" He asked.
I smirked. "To prepare for escape. Everything was to prepare for the escape we're planning now." I told him.
He raised an eyebrow. "To prepare... for this escape?" He asked me.
I nodded, "Yes. To prepare." I said. "To learn about the enemy or to gather things, it's most efficient to do it from the inside. That's why I sold myself to the enemy."
"What are you going to do? Kill me?" I asked Mom.
I knew I had a chance of succeeding.
"I also think I know the order you're killing us in. It's based on our test scores, right?"
"'I am a golden egg that the farm has spent time and effort to cultivate. Therefore, you would want to avoid getting rid of me midway.'" I repeated.
"I want to make a deal."
Sure enough, Mom agreed.
"She cares more about profit than rules. I asked for two things. First, to not ship me or you guys out. In return, I promised to help her. And two, For rewards if I gave results." I told him.
"Your rewards will depend on how much you help out and how much you do."
"What rewards did you get?" Norman asked.
I smirked, "Various junk. And if it's not available in the house, Mom always obtains it for me." I told him.
He looked at me in shock, "So you could see what you could get and what was impossible." He said.
I nodded, "Yeah, I was testing that. Also, I wanted to probe into the outside world. I found out that she could obtain a lot of things, as long as they weren't dangerous. But they were old models." I said.
"Then... when you said you had an idea regarding breaking the tracking devices..." He trailed off.
"I've seen the actual device." I told him. "I've also experimented. I figured out how to break it after working on it for many years. I can break it. I swear that the tracking devices can be nullified. Do you understand?" I smirked, "The person you see before you right now, Is the strongest card you'll ever have. I can hurt Mom from the inside. I have the means to nullify the tracking devices. I might not know everything, but I have more information necessary for the escape than you can ever imagine. The strongest card. Ever since me and Lily found out the secret of the house, We've been preparing. We had nobody but each other, which is why we got so close. We tricked Conny, who knew no better, took little Bunny and made you two go to the gate. All of this, was to make sure you both didn't get killed. It was eating so much at Lily, she was heartbroken but she knew it was for the best. Back to the matter at hand, We're not an enemy to either of you. But we're also not allies either. I've been controlling the situation and Lily has been watching, without revealing our positions because we simply cannot lend our hands to a stupid plan. You're smart, so you know where this is heading, right? I have one condition. I'll become your trump card, I'll give you all the information I have and I'll leak lies to Mom, just like you want."
