Emily walked through the hallway with Savanna and Quinn but walked on the opposite side of Maggie and Haley. Still so many unanswered questions. Maggie looked at Emily and attempted to smile but Emily just looked in the other direction. She was happy that Maggie wasn't dead, but couldn't trust her because she had held that secret for so long.

Maggie showed the girls which way to go. "This way. Hurry, though he's impatient."

Emily and Savanna passed each other a look. Emily turned to Maggie. "Uh, who is the man?"

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you!" Maggie remarked. "His name's Tyrone. He's been down here for five years."

Haley threw a questioning look at Maggie. "I thought you were going to tell us everything?".

Maggie stopped walking. "Listen, it's not my fault I couldn't come and get you guys to tell you I was dead! It's not my fault that I was put down here!" she stopped for a moment a glanced at the ceiling. "So stop acting like all of this is my fault!" 

Haley, Savanna, Quinn, and Emily stared back at her astonished that should would say something like that. 

The hallway was silent for a moment, all you could hear was water trickling until Haley said something. "I'm sorry Mags. It's just scary. You know?" 

Emily's mind zoomed off to space as she finally realized reality. They were trapped underground with a psycho and they had no choice expect to do what he or she said. 

"It's fine. I'm sorry all of this was thrown on all you guys, I never would have wanted that. We never actually got a proper greeting though!" Maggie said.

Emily smiled and hugged Maggie. "I wish we could've met in better conditions, but I guess this is the only way." Suddenly a microphone buzzed loudly, making Emily and the rest of the girls cover their ears. 

"We better get going, she doesn't like being kept waiting." Maggie commented.

The girls slowly walked down the hallway, Maggie leading the way. They finally reached a room with eight doors. Maggie opened the doors second to the left and stepped in, the rest of the girls following her. When they walked Emily noticed a metal table with chairs surrounding it. On the ceiling hung a single light bulb swinging back and forth. The walls were concrete, and the room was windowless. Sitting at the table was a frail women, that looked like she was in her late forties. She had dark red hair and she was wearing a black dress. 

"Hello girls" she squeaked. She motioned for the girls to sit down in the seats at the table. "My name is Jamie".

Emily nodded and looked over at the other girls, who seemed to be as angry, and scared as she was. 

"Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you" she said and gave them a cold smile. "I know it looks like I'm bad but don't worry I'm not." she uttered. "I've been down in this place for 8 years. Longer than your friend Maggie." 

The girls eyes widened in fear. How long were the going to be down here? Their whole lives? 

"Do you know who A is?" Haley asked.

"No, I was forced down here, just like you girls. I've never actually seen the mas" Jamie said. Emily nodded, but didn't smile at her. 

"You see we already have a lot in common!" she said too happily.

"What do you want?" Haley said, wanting to get to the point. 

"Oh don't worry dears, I'm not the one you should be worried about. I'm just A's assistant. But what I want for you is to not put up a fight...for when it's time."

Emily swallowed and felt herself stop breathing. "Time for what?" she asked. 

"Oh you'll see. It's going to be so fun!" Jamie exclaimed. Emily finally realized that the women wasn't in her right mind. She was clearly drugged. 

Maggie smiled brightly at the Jamie. "Well is that all you needed us to know?" she asked. 

Jamie nodded. "Well also master wanted me to tell you something else. A is always watching."
