I stand over Dr. Mason's dead body. I did it. I killed him. Nice Joy. You just took a life. I was feeling too many different emotions at one time. Mostly hate, anger, fear, sadness, but I also felt relief. He no longer has control over us. I let go of the lamp and it falls to the ground with a thud. Dylan grabs my hand and takes off. At the moment I knew. We were gonna be on the run for the rest of our lives.
Fel and Robbie follow behind us. "Stay here!" I yell to them as we run, "This has nothing to do with you! You were just at the wrong place at the wrong time!!" I really didn't want to drag them into this but it's too late for that. "Stay? While you guys leave? Hell no. We're coming with you!!" Fel shouts as we pass around the corner. "We can't leave here tonight," Dylan says, "We have no food, water, shelter, clothes. We need to stay here tonight but hidden. Find a spot for us to stay where no one will find us so we can gather our things. Tomorrow we'll leave and no one will no what happened. All they'll know is that we escaped somehow."
Dylan sounded so confident. But Robbie found a problem. "How exactly will we escape? The place is surrounded by electric fence." Robbie says. "The tennis court!" I say. "The tennis court has it's own fence that leads out of here! It's surrounded by guards though." I say, realizing that maybe I shouldn't have spoken since my plan is clearly flawed. "We'll just distract them. I'll throw a bunch of rocks in another direction and when they go to check it out, we'll climb over the fence and go into town." Robbie says.
"We need to assign who gathers what," Dylan explains, "Robbie and Fel can gather clothes and our backpacks and Joy and I can gather food and water. Everyone agree?" A collective 'yes' cane from our circle. "Good. Also when you're gathering clothes, you should gather our money also." Dylan says. "What money?" Fel asks. "You haven't done any jobs yet?" I ask her. "What jobs?" She asks, completely bewildered. "It doesn't matter just gather our money." I tell her. We all agree to meet in the back at Dylan's tree in an hour. "Let's go!" Dylan says.

*one hour later*
We all gather around Dylan's tree. All in all, when we combined our money, we had $2,000. Now for the hard oart. Distracting the guard.
