Jack hasn't moved from his position in the corner for about an hour now, and heavily debating on using his energy to try to escape. 'Apparently I have escaped before....I could again'. He pauses for a moment, shocked at how both his and Anti's thoughts are one now. "What else did you expect, I'm you remember? Ha ha...at least now you can remember what you do" Anti materializes in front of Jack while he says this. He lifts his head from his knees and looks at Anti. "Tell me this...are you the one hurting people? If not..then who?" Anti leans towards him closer and grins. "Accusing me of all the pain you have caused to people? I like to play jokes for fun Greenie". "Cut the shit, tell me the actual answer Anti!" Jack shivers slightly as the realization settles in, but refuses to accept it.

Anti ruffles Jack's hair and sighs. "You really are delusional Jack. Of course you are the answer. It's your fault you almost murdered those wardens and your girlfriend. To be honest, It's my jokes combined with your fear and bottled up violent tendencies that are the problem. You're stuck with me". Aside from the fact he was just called by his nickname rather than Greenie, Jack is having a hard time facing the truth. His shivering has reduced at least. Staying silent, he leans his head on the wall behind him. "So...do you wanna have some fun? There is an opening by the door ya know". He lifts his head to Anti's wide grin. "You have my attention. Why the hell not, might as well have some fun."

Anti stands up and stretches, mocking Jack. He wishes he could as well, while he wriggles him way to the door. There aren't cameras inside the cell, which is very convenient for Jack. Once at the door, Anti squats down to Jack's level, looking at the door. "Well, go on. Open it Anti". He looks around and then at Jack. "I'd rather not, since you know...I can't ya idiot, you need to just do it, I don't know how." Jack sighs, and scoots his back as close to the door as possible, using his fingers to feel for the opening. Once he does, he pulls on the door 3times, then pushes it in once. On the last pull, it clicks, and it opens. "I'm free for now...I just need to get out of this jacket'. He hobbles down the hall, careful to not cause much sound and listening for wardens. 'Anti, I need you to tell me if there really aren't any wardens, I know you want to leave too". Anti groans and mumbles an okay.

'There isn't anyone here, for real this time'. Anti says this, keeping close to Jack. He almost trips, but stops himself with the wall as support. They continue going through hallways. Eventually, Jack can see a few rooms down a familiar faded blue glimpse, and speeds up his hobbling. It's Em, messing the wall is what it looks like. Jack takes the chance and whisper screams her name. Her trance with the wall broken, she breaks into a smile and speed walks to Jack. "You're out finally!..how-...". Jack quickly cuts her off with an almost loud whisper.

"Never mind that, I'm bustin' out of here Em...I uh...need help getting out of this though". She smirks and unhooks a buckle around his wrists. Once his hands are freed, Jack unhooks the other buckles. He heavily sighs from being freed, and hugs Em tightly. "Thank you so much Em, I really mean it. Hey..do you want to leave here too?" He realizes that's a dumb question and blushes, running his hand through his hair. She smiles and lifts his head up to look at him.

"Of course I do Jack. But don't expect us to be together or anything". She cups the side of his face with her hand and kisses him softly. It felt like a sad kiss, mixed with many emotions he couldn't describe. He wraps his arms around her just as light but firm as she is. He knows kissing her isn't to be in a relationship, it's like...she's saying goodbye in a wordless way. Times like these, anything changes. She pulls away with her expression quickly turning cheery.

"That was a friendly kiss by the way. Follow me, we should hurry and get our stuff and get out these asylum clothes". At this, Jack picks up the bounds and tosses them in a nearby cell, and they make a break for their rooms, the back way. Almost being detected several times, but they got past the suspecting wardens. Passing by a very familiar sign, Jack shivers, but keeps moving forward with Em. They see their rooms, problem is, there is Dr. Lewis of all people, standing there, scribbling something on his clipboard.

They both duck behind the walls on either side of the door frame they are at, peering through the door at Dr.Lewis. Jack's heart feels like it's going to beat out if his chest. He doesn't know exactly what happens to patients who escape, but Em does. She looks over at Jack with slightly widened eyes like his, but she then grins and points at the doctor and then fakes chokes her own neck. Jack catches in quickly and he grins, his eyes slightly darkened.

He mouths out to Em 'let's do this', and her eyes seemingly light up from excitement. Jack stays low, avoiding the glare of the tiny window, and Em stays next him. She pulls out a syringe, her eyes trained on the doctors neck with such determination. Em and Jack glance at each other and nod, silently counting to three. On three, they both leap at the doctor silently, Jack covering the doctors mouth with one hand, his other hand pulled the doctor out of the windows view. At the same time, Em shoved the syringe into his neck, putting every last drop of the liquid into his bloodstream. As the doctor weakened, Jack released his hold on the doctors hand and pressed the two sides of his neck so he would pass out faster. He had stopped moving very quickly, just breathing as if in a deep sleep. Releasing him quickly,he looks at Em, who was shaking, her eyes wide but a smile on her face. He pats her back, and she breaks out of her trance.

Em quickly takes the doctors feet and drag him off to a shadowed area near them, then returns to jack with his I'd card. He glances at the code on the screen. It's the code they need, he quickly mesmerizes it. Em swipes the badge and he presses enter. The door opens to the back of the hall of the patient rooms, Jack's happens to be the second door from the back. Em runs to her room as does Jack.
