I ushered the kid into a ventilation duct. If he were to stay outside, it would be hell for him if I got caught. Security was everywhere at this point of the night. I told him to stay and hoped to god he would heed my order. I then flattened myself against a wall and peered out the door. Nobody in sight.
I opened and closed it as quietly as I could. Which was surprisingly mute. I'd imagine a creek or something. No, only silence. I continued to press myself against the wall until I reached an intersection.
Right is always right! I thought to myself as I took the right corridor. Fuuuuuck! Security had been positioned at the end of the hallway. Another room stood next to me with a small box reading 'keycard required'. Couldn't hurt to try. I whistled as a security guard came to check out what the noise was. There were only two there so I assumed one wanted to be in position for a possible distraction. I made my way behind a corner and put the guard in a headlock. I got to knocking him out via suffocation an snagging his key card soon after he struggled. I then proceeded to sneak my way into the room.
The room was small and cramped. Nothing lied on the shelves on the far wall other than a few notes. A desk stood closest to me with an open note on the computer resting on it.
'Subject 2-14's progress in military testing' it read.
Number 2-14 has acted rather aggressively during her time off of medication. This was expected of her as all patients act like this off of prescription. However, as we further her expedition off of her drugs, she has made unknown progress as well. For example, she seems to exhibit more of her animalistic traits than human ones. She's starting to show less human. Her body does this as well as her emotions. You could wouldn't notice what she was before. Now, you could hardly tell if she was human. We are looking forward to turning this one into the ultimate human weapon for the outside war. We will further expeditions on her case but caution is advised. The words below were circled over and over and written bold and large, it was even underlined. Don't let subject 2-14 have any human contact under any circumstances!
A large button next to the computer with the caption 'view subject' rested before my eyes. I slammed it. The wall in front of me disintegrated into glass. The room behind it was dark and covered in gigantic cod webs. It was overwhelming in a sense.
"Hey!" I heard security shout from behind me.
I yelped and whipped out my gun before firing of at one guard, wounding him in the chest. I took off running from there. I spotted that the door they were originally guarding was now clear so I checked the keycard through there and bolted in.
To my dismay, the room was dark, covered in cod webs, something seemed to be moving in the corner. What really sent chills down my spine...
A girlish cackle radiated through the room, telling me that I wasn't alone.
