The corridors are empty and the only room with any people inside is the Gamemaker’s room. Big, white tables with holograms rising from them take up most of the space.

“New avoxes, who wants a coffee?” The peacekeeper says and everyone mumbles a “yes”.

The peacekeeper looks at us.

“You look capable and I’m busy. Second door on your right is the kitchen. There’s twenty Gamemakers. I’ll leave you to it.”

He walks off and, the moment he’s out of earshot, Caleb runs for an empty lab across the hall.

“You two go and make twenty cups of coffee.” He orders and Tobias and I sprint for the kitchen.

Twenty minutes, and cups of coffee, later Caleb comes in with a screwdriver and a small test tube full of purple liquid.

“What’s that?” I ask as Caleb drops some of the liquid into all the coffee mugs.

“Three hour sleep serum.” He grins.

Caleb slides the screwdriver neatly into one hand. It’s small so it’s easily hidden in his palm.

“Let’s go give the Gamemakers their coffee. I’m not so sure it will wake them up though.” He smiles.
