Evasive Action
Still stuck in the nursery, Brooklyn said in the middle on the cell while Yaz hugged Patrick who was still shaking from earlier. Darius walked up to them holding some blueberries and offering them to Patrick.
"Please eat Patrick..." Yaz pleaded.
Patrick didn't respond and instead just put his hands on his left tight where the prosthetic was.
"He left us..." Brooklyn whispered. "He just... left."
Suddenly, a BRAD-X entered the room and scanned the cell. Patrick hid his face while Yaz glared at the robot.
"All accounted for." The BRAD-X said before exiting.
"Guys, that thing patrols every half hour." Darius explained. "Which means we have 30 minutes to find a way out. Instantly, the group sprang into action and began searching the area for a way out while Yaz sat next to Patrick.
"Pat..." Yaz whispered. "I'm sorry for yelling. It's just..."
"It's fine." Patrick shot.
Yaz frowned before clenching her fists.
"Guys!" Darius yelled lifting up a hatch on the ground. The group gathered around to see a way out.
"Why does it smell like that?" Sammy asked.
"Pretty sure this is a sewer." Ben retorted. Suddenly the hatch opened. Darius slammed the ground hatch shut before the BRAD-X began scanning.
"All accounted for." The BRAD-X said exiting. The group once again stood over the was out. Sammy and Ben jumped down first.
"We got ya Pat!" Sammy said as her and Ben stood below. Patrick took a deep breath before finally falling down, Sammy and Ben catching him as best as they could. Yaz, Brooklyn and Darius when the alarms suddenly rang above.
"Great. Now it knows we're gone." Darius said as him and Yaz helped Patrick walk forward.
Timeskip
Patrick, Yaz and Darius were at the front of the group while Sammy, Ben and Brooklyn walked behind them.
"I knew from the minute I met him he was trouble." Ben said.
"I can't believe I trusted him." Sammy drawled crossing her arms.
"They were all smug in that crisp suit." Brooklyn whispered.
"Now because of him we're walking through a sewer, running from BRADs while Patrick..." Ben ranted before silencing himself.
"Thanks Kenji." Sammy snarled sarcastically causing Brooklyn to turn to them.
"Kenji?" She asked. "Wait... you think this is Kenji's fault?"
"Uh... yeah?" Sammy shot crossing her arms as the three stopped.
"No. It's his dad's fault obviously." Brooklyn said.
"You say that as if Kenji didn't have a choice." Ben argued.
"He was being manipulated!" Brooklyn argued.
"Right. Manipulated into using a secret Patrick trusted all of us with to completely violate him." Sammy said pushing past Brooklyn.
"Darius. Help me out..." Brooklyn pleaded only for Darius to shush and hold his fist up. He turned to corner when suddenly, a BRAD-X turned the corner releasing knock out gas from its mouth.
