Chapter Six: Escape

Liddy and Emily stared at me with wide eyes like they had just seen a ghost, assuming that the stab was supposed to kill me on the spot. With a smirk plastered on my face I looked down to my stab wound and saw that I had stopped the blood, "Hey uh Mr. Hoss, can I have a sterilized needle, some thread and a bottle of whiskey or any alcohol please?"

He looked at me with soft eyes almost like he cared for my well being, I was wondering why he cared for me. He wasn't my dad and most defiantly wasn't my moms boyfriend but what was his relation to her and why? "Yes of course but Bell, do you know how to sew your wounds? I can help if you want?", he said softly while looking at side. "Can I just use the restroom, I could use a mirror and I really gotta piss. If you're worried that I might escape I really can't because of my stupid stab wound.", I tried to convince him. After about ten minutes with no response he finally spoke agreeing, he had given me the supplies I needed, "the restroom in four doors down near the corridor and it will be on your right. Vick, please go with him." With Vick following me I came with a plan to get him out of the picture, hopefully there aren't any other butlers around. With saying that I saw three others so I prayed that Vick wouldn't stop to tell them anything, which he didn't and I was so grateful. Now at the restroom I heard Vick tell me to not try anything stupid I nodded confirming what he said, as soon as I went in the bathroom I saw a body mirror near the shower and carefully lifted up my shirt revealing a nasty hole the size of my fist.

Grabbing the whiskey that Mr. Hoss gave me I opened the top, I stuffed the shirt in my mouth so my screams would be muffled. As I tilted the whiskey down the liquid fell in my wound causing a stinging and burning sensation throughout my entire body, hearing my muffled screams and backing up into the wall I stopped and tried not to cry. I can do it I thought, I just need a little more poured to get rid of the bacteria. Pouring a little bit more I felt the horrible burn, crying a little I stopped and saw that it was cleaned enough. I got the needle and the whiskey bottle then brought it over the sink to clean the needle properly, once it was soaked and cleaned I tied the thread to the needle and began to sew the wound together. "Hey kid will you hurry up in there, we need to proceed with the game.", Vick said. "Yeah yeah hold on, geez." I said. After tying the thread I cleaned and dressed the wound so the wound wouldn't tear and rip open, now I had to look for some chemicals to mix to knock out Vick. I looked under the sink and saw bleach and alcohol, okay now I need acetone to complete the mix. Mixing all three would make chloroform and to my luck I found some acetone while looking through the cabinets above the toilet, I mixed all three together in a small cup and decided to use the blue cloth I found under the sink. Soaking the cloth I carefully opened the door and I was right behind Vick, slowly crawling behind him he turned around. Taking my chance I pounced on him and shoved the cloth to his face and in matter of seconds he fell to the floor with a big thud.

"Now to get out of here", I mumbled.

Heading in the opposite direction of the other butlers I conveniently found a door heading to the basement so I decided to take my chances with the basement I ascended down the stairs into the dark room. "Wow, this is a huge basement", I mumbled under my breath. I couldn't see anything so I tried to look for something that could give me any source of light, after looking through many boxes I found some old matches and an old lantern. "I feel like I'm in a horror movie", chuckling I then heard the basement door swing open with Mr. Hoss yelling my name. I quickly blew out the fire from the lantern and saw a small window my size across the room, I took of my converse and held onto them so I wouldn't make any noise as I went to the window. It was life or death for me trying to get to the window, I dodged Mr. Hoss three times by hiding against a box. "Bellami Harper I am going to fucking find you and you will finish the game!", he yelled right beside me. I felt my wound open a little and the blood dripping down my waist. Crouching down I made it to the window, I grabbed a metal frame and threw it at the window, thinking that I was free I felt Mr. Hoss grab my leg and pull me from the window. "Oh no you don't boy.", he said so close to my face. I could feel his breathing on my neck, I didn't like this. "Alright, I'll go back.", I mumbled. "Atta boy.", as we were walking down the corridor I saw that Mr. Hoss had three other butlers plus Vick who looked extremely pissed. I was curious at Mr. Hoss's age, "How old are you Mr. Hoss?" He didn't look at me but he jumped a little at the question I had asked, "I'm twenty-five. Why do you ask?" I didn't give him an answer back because I was really just wondering, as we entered through the doors to the room we were playing the game in the women looked at a teenage boy who was clutching his wound, the host who's suit was covered in dust, three more butlers and the other butler who looked like he just woke up from a nap.

"What happen-", Emily was interrupted by Mr. Hoss holding up his hand showing that it was none of her business. She backed down and sat back in her chair quietly, Liddy then tried to talk but earned a slap from the butlers telling her to shut the hell up. "Damn Liddy, aren't you men's punching bag", I laughed while clutching my side. I turned to Mr. Hoss and saw him chuckle a little bit from my little comment, I though about how Mr. Hoss can be an okay guy at some times but that doesn't change the fact that he's a psychopath.

~Mr. Hoss's P.O.V~

I was talking to the women about their jobs and what they would do with the money if they had won, Emily said that she was going to tell the police everything but I can just buy the police off and have them keep it a secret so I wasn't worried. Liddy said the same but she then said that she was going to move to Paris to start a new life, I then wondered what Bellami was going to do. Was he going to tell the police or was he going to move away? I might have to ask him later, as I was done thinking I saw two of my good butlers burst through the door telling me that Bellami and managed to knock out Vick and maybe escaped through the basement, "Why are you telling me?! Go look for him!! You know what I'll go look for him!" I ran to the basement door past Vick that was laying on the floor with two men beside him, I opened the door and walked down the stairs. "BELAMI!", I shouted, I saw a little light glow then disappear near the corner of the room, I walked toward the corner and looked for the teenager. Searching for the boy after about fifteen minutes I heard glass break behind me, I saw Bellami trying to climb out but I grabbed his leg pulling him out the window. "Oh no you don't boy", I said in his ear, I felt him shudder a little bit from what I said. "Alright, I'll go back", he mumbled quietly. "Atta boy.", when we were walking back to the room he asked me a weird question about my age. Not hiding anything I answered but he talk back so I just let it go.

When we entered the room Emily decided to ask questions but I was to tired to answer so I held up my hand causing her to sit back down and staying quiet. Liddy then tried to talk but I motioned to one of my butlers to slap her, I heard Bellami's little comment about her being a punching bag and I couldn't help but laugh at his comment. "Alright ladies and gentlemen, it's time for round six. Two of you will die, if only one dies then we will have a bonus round. Who's ready?", I smiled as I looked to the remaining three.
