     I slowly wake up from being unconscious and with fuzzy vision I look around to try and see where I am. I hear footsteps getting closer to the room I'm in, then the doors burst open and I see a tall shadowy figure standing in the doorway. " I see you finally woke up Ya lazy bastard. What's your name?" he said. "Who are you?" I ask groggily. "I asked you first! What's your name?!" he said loudly. 

"Where am I?" I ask nonchalantly. "I'M NOT GOING TO ASK AGAIN YOU FUCKING PEST! WHAT'S YOUR FUCKING NAME?!" he yells impatiently. "Clint..." i say quietly, "Clint Henry". "WHAT WAS THAT?!" he yells while pulling out a revolver and aiming it at my head. "Clint Henry!" I shout scared for my life. Now that he has a weapon present, I feel less comfortable in the situation i'm in. "Good" he says. 

"I see you follow orders better under the influence of weapons, hopefully we don't have any problems in the near future". He Turns around and starts to walk out the door. "Wait!, How long have I been out for?" I ask. " I'd say around 4 days" he says disappointedly. He turns around and leaves the room. When he left the room I took notice of the room I was in. I heard more footsteps coming my way and I tensed up. 

"Shit, there's more of them?" I questioned. The door opened quietly and I shield myself from the light. "Hello?" said the voice of a boy that seemed to be around the age of 16, "Are you okay?". He seemed very nervous at the fact that I was a new face to him and that I was an unknown threat to him. "Hey, i'm not supposed to be in here but I thought you might want something to eat" he said. "Yes, please" I said eagerly. 

"Okay, here. It's a bowl of soup and a glass of water" he said, getting less nervous by the minute. "Hey?" I ask, "What's your name?". "Joshua Parker" he said loud and proud. All of a sudden the same guy returned, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?!" he yelled angrily. "I was just giv-" "SHUT UP" he interrupted, "GET OUT!, YOUR ON KITCHEN DUTY FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK!". "All I did was give our guest some food" Joshua says, trying to calm him down. 

"He's not our guest... He's our test subject" he says in disgust while looking at me. "Test subject?" I whisper to myself, confused. "What do you mean 'test subject'" I ask him. "You'll see..." he says while walking away. "WAIT!" I yell. "What?!" he snarls back viscously. 

"Who are you?" I ask. "The names Roberto, but it's not like it matters" he laughs while he walks away. Roberto leaves the room and I turn to Joshua. "What is this place, and what do you people want?" I ask scared. "I don't know what he's talking about, I swear!". "Are you sure?" I ask. 

"Yeah, i'll even help you get out of here. Truth is... I wanted to leave the day after I got here. These people are crazy." he said. "You'll really help me?" I ask. "Yeah, as long as you help me out too" he says hopefully. "Yeah, you got yourself a deal." I say happy. "Okay, I think I have a plan..." he says, "Here it is..."
