___
It's typical, I fear
Folks just disappear
And when they ask me who I am
I'll say, "I'm not from around here"
___
"There are 382 people inside this mountain. If any of them realize you're not one of us, you're dead." Maya informs them as they walk.
Maya scans her own keycard to open the elevator. "We're on level two, the dorm's on five. There's a camera in the upper right-hand corner. Keep your head down."
Bellamy looks at Skye. She takes a deep breath.
It was real before, but it's really real now. Going forward, they can't make any mistakes.
She was here once before, and she stuck out like a sore thumb. She has to be careful.
The three enter the elevator. Both Bellamy and Skye tilt their heads away from the camera. Maya presses level five.
The doors are about to shut when suddenly a hand prevents them from closing. "Hold the elevator."
A man walks in. "Hey, Maya." He presses a button for a different floor. "You know I missed you in my expressionist class."
She puts on a smile. "Yeah, I... I had some work to do."
He winks at her playfully. "I'll get you the notes."
Bellamy causally rests his hand on his gun. Maya shakes her head at him.
They stop on the next floor and Maya nods at them.
They start to get off when the teacher speaks. "Hey, you're bleeding. Are you okay?"
Skye realizes that he's talking to her. She turns to face him. She looks at her sleeve and sees a blood stain.
Maya acts quickly. "You're exposed. We need to retrace your steps and find the breach." She snatches a handkerchief out of the man's pocket and applies it to Skye's arm, where Lovejoy had cut her.
"You better go." She tells the man.
"What about you?"
"This is my job. I'll be fine."
He nods. "Keep the handkerchief." He turns and walks out of the elevator.
___
After their scare in the elevator earlier, the three finally make it to level five.
A school bell rings and a class of 15 children walk into a classroom. They are very young. They probably range from 5-7 years old. Maya quickly ushers the two back behind a wall so they can't be seen.
A woman's voice speaks over an intercom. "Homeroom has now begun. All students should now be in their classrooms."
Once the class is inside, Maya leads them around the corner.
Bellamy is a few steps ahead of Skye when suddenly a small hand tugs on her wrist.
"Ma'am?"
She turns to see a young blonde boy.
Bellamy and Maya stop walking upon hearing the voice.
