Eye Catchers [BrOhm/H2OVanoss]

His office was quiet, which was exactly what I needed. I carefully twisted the the knob, pushing it open when I heard the soft click. I entered the small space, closing the door just as softly and kept the lights off. The other workers might get suspicious if they see the lights on in here when they knew my father was with Jon. Sadly.

I crept behind his desk to where a wall of keys stood underneath. I grabbed a flashlight from my pocket that I found laying around in the lab. I twisted it to the dimmest setting and looked for the thing I snuck in here for. I grinned widely as I saw it stilly hanging in the fourth row. The key to the first car in the lab parking lot. They were mainly used for deliveries, but this was for an escape.

I tucked the key away along with the flashlight and quickly left the office. I acted normal and greeted some of the workers who passed by. I made my way to my room, looking to see if Jon was done with 'him'.

I walked in and saw Jon passed out on his bed. He looked weak. His skin was a bit paler than usual and he looked more unconscious than asleep. I sighed as I pulled his head into my lap and ran my fingers through his hair.

We were planning on escaping tonight, it being 3 years since I made my promise. I learned to drive through one of the scientists that I befriended. He got my license and everything since he knew the things father did to us. He wanted us to escape and when we did, he would quit his job.

An hour or two passed until Jon started waking up. He groaned, then opened his eyes, revealing the color of bruises.

"Hey," I simply greeted. He smiled and sat up.

"How long was I out?"

"About 2 hours?"

"New record," he chuckled, and I rolled my eyes.

"We're leaving tonight, and we have to run to the parking lot. Do you think you can handle that?" I questioned as Jon got up and cracked his back.

"By tonight? I think my ass should be better by then," Jon assured, pulling out a duffle bag and his suitcase. "I snagged these before I had to go to Father."

He slid the bag over to me with the biggest smirk on his face. I bent down to unzip it an my eyes widened. There were pistols and a bunch of ammo in there with one shotgun on the top, and underneath was a bunch of cash.

"How'd you get into the armory and the vault?!" I was still shocked that I had these weapons and a load of money in front of me. The armory and vault had a secret code that no one knew besides Father.

"I found the code written on paper on top of his desk. When I had to go talk to him, I saw it, then memorized it. Easy. I guess he uses the same code for both"

"And I'm supposed to be the older, cooler one." We both laughed. I grabbed two gun holsters, two pistols and a few ammo clips before zipping it up.

"Put it under your bed for tonight," I said, handing Jon a pistol, a holster, and some ammo. He nodded, placing it near the way back towards the wall. I did the same.

"Well, now we gotta sneak these bags to the car," I mumbled, slightly frustrated.

"Wait, what if someone takes our car for a delivery and sees the stuff?"

"They can't because father just says the delivery, picks a random key without even looking at the rack, and sends them on their way. And he can't choose our car since I have the key." I held up the key and Jon's face lit up.

"You got it!" He cheered, hugging me and lifting me up a bit.

"Okay Jon. Celebrate when we get this stuff into the car," I said. He put me down and got the two other suitcase out of the closet, making the total 3 suitcases and one duffel bag.
