Time

Jai's P.O.V       I straightened my shirt out and ran my hand through my thick hair as I stared at the man. It was impossible to believe that, out of all people, a guard, wanted to help us. My brothers stared baffled as James and Skip continued to cling to them. "No way, nope, no way. You're lying. Just like everyone less here, you can't be trusted", Luke retorted, slowly shaking his head at him. "Luke, please-", I was cut off.     "Listen, mate... I should just introduce myself. My name is Mark McCaler. I've been watching your videos for a long while now and I know you boys are definitely NOT criminal masterminds and certainly not psychos. Well... actually this one might be with his little "temper tantrums".", Mark joked and nodded towards Luke, who cracked a sly smile, "But all jokes aside, you guys don't belong here. If you don't get out while you can this place will eat you alive, simply drain you of your sanity and throw you deep into the pits of insanity. I know this place like the back of my hand and trust me you may not think it but you need my help."    Daniel had slowly let go of Beau as Mark talked and now rested his right hand on Beau's shoulder but James still gently held onto Luke. "Hmm...", I responded as Mark's words soaked in and looked back at the boys. "What do you think?", I questioned raising my eyes to them. Beau stared at me, then at Mark, and shifted his gaze back to me again. "Do you feel like we can trust him?" I glanced over at Mark who stood back, chewing on his thumb.     Eventually, Daniel and James nodded gingerly and Beau shrugged. That left just Luke to persuade.  I moved closer to him and he raised his eyes from the floor to meet mine. "Luke, c'mon, we really don't have a choice and he does make a valid point. Trust me, please, I have a good feeling about this one", I pleaded with him. "Fine", Luke huffed, his nostrils flaring slightly and the vein at the base of his neck popped ever so slightly, "But if he turns against us, I'm authorizing myself to attack." James released him and Luke crossed is arms over his chest.   

 I turned to Mark, he grinned sheepishly at me, "You're in." "Alright then", Mark clapped his hands together and stepped closer to us. He whispered, "Ok, there is a door in the back of this building located at the far end of the basement. The only way down there is using the "Staff Elevator" located on the third floor. I'm going to head that way now, unlock the door, and scope out the place. If all goes accordingly, you gent will be able to escape without anyone noticing that you're gone! Well at least till meal time that is.

 "Crap!", Beau exclaimed, "What time is it?!" Mark checked his watch and this eyes grew wide.. "Ten minutes", he croaked. I felt myself drain of color and I swallowed hard.
