"Noah, I need you to stay here," she said, ushering me into ventilation.
Yeah, screw that. I thought as I crawled throughout the vents. Oh god! The vent underneath creaked and collapsed. I fell to the white tile rolling out of the rubble. I stood and realized that security had been staring right at me. Not just a few guards. No a sign that read 'break room' rested on the far wall next to a door. I smiled and waved. I then took off running.
The shock from my fall seemed to by me time up until I was halfway down the hall. I heard footsteps pounding behind me and a voice call, "tell others of the intruder. We'll cut 'em off from the front."
Think, boy. Think! I frantically looked for an escape. No! You need to loose them first! After about ten minutes of turning corners and sprinting down hallways, I finally got far enough. Turning a corner, I spotted at a door similar to the room we had entered in. Bingo! Please don't be locked! The door opened smoothly. score! Find a hiding place, they're coming! A small basket with what looked to be uniforms in it. Oh god, save me! I jumped in.
I heard the door click open and footsteps storming in. I was dizzy again. The red was back. The small space got smaller. I fought to control my breathing as I squeezed the rabbit. That helped a little. Amber! I thought. No one came this time. Amber! No response that time either. As the steps seceded, I almost jumped out of the basket. I proceeded just as Miss Amber had, silent and hugging a wall.
I reached another room requiring a keycard. Well, I'm out of luck here, aren't I? Soon after, two footsteps approached. I hid behind a trash can and peaked out. Two people dressed like Jade had been were walking. One was carrying a notepad and writing what the other was saying.
"Subject is exhibiting a blood lust towards anybody who isn't female, or has blonde hair and blue eyes. He refuses to take his ring off despite the fact that all memory's of being married were eradicated. He seems to have been calling a name. However, his vocal cords are almost fully replaced with ones of a crow, so we can't figure out the name. _mb__," he said.
The two opened the door as I carefully slipped in unnoticed.
Just as I hid again, two security guards stormed in to alert the men. "We have two intruders. One at the west gate, and one over near here at the east gate. Be on the look out for somebody out of uniform," one said. The two nodded.
As they stormed back out, I assumed that the other intruder at the 'west gate' was Miss Amber. Then I noticed that she would get the news that I had moved from position.
I'm so dead.
