Chapter 8- how to escape ?

"Stupid place, freaking idiots and shitty morality" I muttered as I ruthlessly stabbed my grape before stuffing it in my mouth and crushing it to pieces. We were at the cafeteria and I could feel the guys curious stares whilst I savagely ate mine.

"What" I asked them after swallowing.

"Are you okay ?"asked Nick as I stabbed a watermelon and ate it, savoring the watery sweetness. I hate that question.. Since the day my family got murdered, all they've been doing is treating me like a china doll. I understand their concern, since I've been concerned too, but enough's enough and ill tell them the truth.

"Not really guys .. But I've decided that I hate this place and I'm more determined to escape" before I continued.

"Max ? You said there was no use of escaping.. Did you try to escape at one point ?" I ask whilst chewing a mango slice, he looked a bit shocked at my question but the way he looked around and lowered his voice gave me all the answers I needed.

"Yes, I did try to escape but they caught me and almost killed me had it not been for Derrick here. Meet me at the park at three and I'll tell you about what happened" nodding my head, I look over to the guys who nodded before continuing with their lunch.

I will say we all changed since that day. For one, Nick has tried to be one to cheer us up, but we know that he's in great remorse after what happened, leading him to have an intense hate for this place. I've also noticed that he's been training, who knows where but he's been training, maybe he wants to escape this place as much as we do and has already started.

Hansen too has changed, he's become quieter as well as more hateful towards this place, however he still acts normal around us, it's only when a guard or he sees any member of this facility that he growls and his eyes darken to a murderous look. He too has been training alongside Nick, but the thing that shocked me the most was his skills with kicks. That boy as far as I'm concerned can definitely deliver a kick when needed.

Finishing off the last fruit, I look to see that Max had already left and the guys had finished. They were talking about something in hushed tones for the most which I couldn't make out except for a few words.

"Owner..... Tell... Kaylin" I would've annoyed them into telling me about what they were discussing, but that's for another day as it was already 2:30 and we had to leave. Stepping onto a platform with Harris, we speed through the vicinity until we reach the park. We pass the weaponry and this time a frown creases itself on to my face, I wonder if the adults here were kids when they got caught.

We soon arrive at the park and I carefully step into the park, making sure Harris and the guys are behind me. After wandering a bit, I spot Max sitting under a peach tree and run over to him. He spots me and stands up, smiling and waving. Sitting cross legged in front of him, I wait for the slow pokes to show up, once they do, I get straight to the point and say.

"So tell me Max, what happened" he looks a bit uncomfortable, the way how his hand moves to the back of his neck and his body tenses up. It must've been a bad memory because his hand stays at his neck as he takes a deep breath and starts telling his escape.

"It was about a few months back, when Derrick first joined this place. At that time he didn't have any friends whatsoever and I was his only friend. I had been here for a good 6 months, 10 months now, and I was sick of it. I had nightmares every night on my parents death and I couldn't fucking stand it anymore. So I did it, I planned an escape" taking a deep breath he continued

"The plan was a complicated one, I had feigned sickness to be admitted into the facilities hospital. The security over there is very low, I guess no one thought that a patient would escape, but I had that plan. So while I was pretending to be on the brink of death, a friend of mine, an IT expert, had snuck into the hospitals main room, with a few disguises of course, and shutdown all the cameras in the hospital, allowing me to creep in to the air vent and escape.

It had worked, I got outside, and I finally got to smell the crisp British air that I'd grown up with.... Sadly, the alarm sounded off because of my escape and the next thing I knew, I was bounding through the forest ducking and hiding under rocks and bushes, as men trooped past me, hunting me like fresh game. Eventually at nightfall, I came out. Stupid me... As soon as I stepped out, a burly guard grabbed my neck in an attempt to choke me, and brought me back inside. This time they dumped me in a holding cell, where people were held before they got shot or killed.

I was not at all ready for death, I had to avenge my families death, and yet I had no means to as I myself was about to die.. Or so I thought.

A guard came and yanked me out of the cell and dumped me back into my room, I was confused as to why I'm still alive, but that's when the guard cleared it up."

"You should be grateful you little bastard, Derrick Dorman saved you"

And that guys and gal, is how I attempted to escape. There will be a next time I assure you, and that time, it'll work."

So Derrick did save him, but how ? If we know the way, then maybe it'll be easier to escape.

"Uhh guys.. Not to be a damper but won't the security be increased ? And won't they be watching us now ?" Said nick. Shit I didn't think about that. How do we attempt to escape now ?
