Jack's Pov

When I was told Mark wasn't waking up my panic level shot up. "Is he awake now?" Was the only question I used my voice for at the moment. I can tell it annoyed Malcom but Kathryn was happy to answer and keep me updated. It was like a routine thing, when she walked in the question was asked and she gave me the answer, but this time was different. "Is he? Tell mmmeeeee." I got eager because she was holding it back from me. "I think you'll like this answer," she kept me hanging. "He's awake." I jumped, or I guess flopped, up at that. "Really?" She nodded. "Can you show me please, please, plleeaasseee." I pleaded and she laughed at that. "Sure I guess I can, just don't tell Malcom." I nodded in agreement as she put up the camera feedback. I watched as he was sitting up and talking to a blonde woman, I've seen her before but never known her name. His legs were almost fully red and his feet were looking like mine, everything connected in my head in that moment. "Are you trying to make him like me?" She looked down. "You are aren't you! I thought I trusted you!" She looked back up and stared me right in my eyes. "I don't want this to happen at all either. I'll get you out one day, I promise." She left the room.

Kathryn's Pov

I knew he would figure it out eventually, it was bound to happen. I sighed and walked back to my office to continue working and maybe making an escape plan for the boys. I know it will be hard with the condition Mark and Jack are currently in, but there is possibility I can help and get Amy on my side. I've brought it up before but she had doubts so when I'm done with the plan I'll gibe it to her, get her opinion and see from there. I sighed and put my head against the desk. I did hear we were getting another scientist from Denmark. That would be cool I guess since a lot of the scientists have 'left.' I sighed and went to the camera room, also known as Malcom's office. I know I don't need to knock just make my presence known to him, cause who knows what he could be doing. "Hey Malcom, it's me Kathryn, I'm coming in." I opened the door to him lounging in his chair, just watching the cameras. "Jack seems to be in a mood with you." He turned to me, a smirk playing on his lips. "Yeah, I'm not sure what I done wrong though." I lied, I knew exactly what I had done, maybe I shouldn't have told him that much. "Well he might grow out of this then if you didn't do anything." Malcom shrugged. "I guess you're right," I sighed, knowing that was not the case. "Well I best be going now, got ppers to fill out." I backed out the room. "Yes, wouldn't want to be late with that paperwork." (If you get that kind of reference I will love you) I laughed along with him, not meaning it in the slightest.

When I got back to my office Amy came in, which is not a normal thing for me, she was telling me about Mark and how she told him he would get to go home once they were finished the tests. I scolded her slightly for lying to him like that, she sighed and looked down. "Anyway, here I have something to give you." I handed her the unfinished escape plan. She looked at it and after a while handed it back to me. "Not finished I presume?" I nodded as she continued. "Looks pretty good so far, all we need to do is get Jack and Mark in on it and finish." She exclaimed excitedly. "Yeah I guess that's it," I smiled and nodded. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have paperwork to finish." I shooed her out the room and sat down once more. I sighed and put my head in my hands, in pure stress. "This is why being a scientist is hard sometimes." I stood up and walked out to clear my head, when I ran into someone I didn't recognise. She immediately apologised and so did I. She had green eyes which had eyeliner which was winged at the ends, (I don't know jack shit about makeup at all sooo forgive me) her hair was curled at the ends nicely, she was fairly short as well but was dressed for the job. "I'm assuming you're the new employee?" I laughed and I helped her up, she was a little red in the face probably from embarrassment. "Yeah, way to make a first impression am I right?" She giggled a little to. "Yeah, I'm kinda the same when it comes to that," I lead her inside. "I'll take you to Malcom, he'll sort you out." I knocked on the office door and walked in.

Malcom's Pov

I heard the knock and in walked Kathryn again, but this time she had someone trailing behind her. "Ah, you must be the new scientist." She nodded timidly. "I-I am, just wanted to get a feel for the place before tomorrow, my name's Signe Hansen." She put her hand out for me to shake and I did. "We'll meet properly tomorrow." I waved her and Kathryn goodbye.

Mark's Pov

I hadn't had any visitors but my legs have been feeling different, by different I mean I can't really feel them at all. I've tried moving them, but when I do they feel like they move together when I move one leg. That green stuff is still being injected in me, but it isn't sore like it was early on when the meds wore off, it's really thick feeling. (*snorts*) I lay back as another dosage was sent through me, I groaned. I hope Jack isn't feeling this way.

Jack's Pov

I can't believe Kathryn would betray me like that, I know she's not the one I should be mad at, but she should of told me! "Mark?!" I shouted, hoping there was a slight chance he could hear me. "I love you!" I yelled into the abyss of the room and tank. I yelled in my native language knowing he was the only one here who understood.
