"Hey, Grov--" I say, approaching him in the basement.

"Jesus! " He jumps.

"Dude, it's just me." I laugh.

He sighs. "Yeah, "You, the one that wants to beat the crap out of me every chance you get." Why are you sneaking up on me? "

"I'm not "Sneaking up" on anyone." I frown, turning away. "Whatever. I'll leave."

"Wait. I'm sorry." He says and I turn back around. "I wasn't really expecting anyone down here."

"I just came down here to see if everything's okay." I say, genuinely.

I was actually trying to be nice for a change to the guy. Especially since all that I do is try and beat him up at every chance I get. But nonetheless, so to speak, he just lost his sister to the freaks.

"She told me to kill her before she hurt somebody." He looks up at Mary who is growling back at us.

"Nobody could do that." I say.

"We both know there are people here that could do that." He says, referring to Barrett.

"Barrett's a douche." I shrug.

"I can't let this go on. Help me end this." He says, turning towards me.

"Like actual end this ..?"

"No, I want to send her out there." He says.

"Outside?" I ask and he nods. ".. Okay, we just have to be quick about it."

••Grover••

Though it was hard, we got Mary outside. It wasn't that hard but it wasn't easy either. Diesel and I just let her out and lead her to the main corridors that led outside.

"We did the right thing." Diesel pats my shoulder as I lean my head against the door.

"I hope so." I sigh.

"Ah!" Lashaen comes, knocking Diesel down.

"I think he's seeing things." Zoe appears.

"We got to get out! - It's not safe!"

"He thinks the freaks are in here." Zoe explains.

"Yeah, there will be freaks in here if he doesn't stop." I say.

"We're gonna die! We got to get out of here! " He shouts running down the hall.

"Go, go! Get him! I got this." I tell Diesel.

He nods and runs after him. "Come on, quick. Give me the board." I tell her and she hands me the piece of wood that I drill to the door.

"Mary is loose again." Barrett walks up to us.

"No kidding." I say, continuing to drill up the board.

"Well—She was our only chance to learn more about them, and you let her go."

"Maybe you need to take a step back and let us finish this before somebody gets hurt!" I spat at him.

••Rion••

"Is he okay?" I ask as I was looking at an unconscious Lashaen.

Apparently Diesel had knocked him out with one punch because he was running around the halls, thinking that the freaks were inside.
