Bob ,Wade ,Mark ,Ken, dlive and I arrived at the gallows with in twenty minutes, we stare at the stage as a crowd of people start to come in and push us around.

"Why is everyone here?" dlive whispers as more people shove and push us.

"I don't know." I say and look to my right to see a tunnel, the sound of chains was heard making everyone go silent and turn their attention towards the noise. everyone was frozen in their spots and they didn't move until a officer came onto the stage.

"Hello and good afternoon, thank you for coming, we didn't plan to see this many people." He pauses and his green eyes roam over the crowd. "We're obviously going to hang people, that did crimes, this is their penalty and it is a reminder to not break the rules. Please remember to try and find Maya Stewart and return her in to the closest police station or call the emergency number. Thank you."

I stared at him in disbelief, how can he be so calm before hanging a bunch of people? I watched as he walked over to the lever, that pulls the floor, on the stage. a another officer went into the tunnel and the chains once sounded again, the female officer brought a person to the stage and pushed them towards the stairs, the person slowly walked up the stairs, snapping me out of my trance.

"Guys!" I whispered yelled to the others, they snapped their heads towards me, realizing that in a few minutes the person is going to be hanged. "We only have a few minutes." I say and pushed my way through the crowd to the edge of it, I glanced over my shoulder to see that the others are following.

"Excuse me, ma'am." I hear a males voice say, I kept my head down as I answered.

"Yes?"

" You are not to leave, that is the rules." He said, I wanted to ask why but that would take away time. Okay, new plan. I looked at him, once he turned to look at the stage, for weapons. He has a gun and a knife, 'officers aren't suppose to have knifes.' I thought as I grabbed the knife before he could react and hit him with the handle in the head, he fell to the ground, knocked out. I turned towards the others, after I grabbed the pistol, the guys stared at the stage making me turn towards it, they were putting the noose around the persons neck. I look around quickly in panic before I found one option.

"Okay.." I breathed out and raised the knife, ' it's not a throwing knife and this might or might not work, but... it's a chance.' the officer pulled the switch and the floors went out under the person, I threw the knife and it cut the rope.

"Whoa, where did you learn that?" dlive asks me, I ignore him before using my gun, that I "borrowed" and shot the officer on the stage and the other officer by the tunnel, everyone except the youtubers and the people in chains start screaming and rushing towards the exit. I jog to the tunnel and peek inside, there's no officers. Oh the streets, right. I look to the long line of people in chains and frowned, I went back to the dead officer and checked her pockets for the keys, once I found them I went to the first person in line and unchained them. When I reached the last person, it was entoan.

" Your the final person." I say and unlock the hand cuffs, he took them off and threw them to the ground, while rubbing his wrists.

" Yeah, I am." He says, frowning. " They might of had something planed for me, if I'm the last person."

" Maybe you were the finale for today." I suggest and walk backwards, he follows me.

" I learned a lot of things in 'prison'." He says, I raise a eyebrow as I reached the others at the entrance of the tunnel.

" Your alive!" dlive exclaims with a grin.

" Lets just go." entoan sighs in exhaust.
