Amorpho yelled to get the attention of the guards.

Kim mingled in with the others and tried to calm them down. "Trust me on this. Just stop fighting. There's a plan."

The others looked at her inquiringly. Sam frowned. She noticed Walker's red eyes. That was unusual. She approached Kim and whispered in her ear.

"Amorpho?"

The other widened her eyes, surprised that Sam knew of him. But then again. Tucker had recognized the ghost too. Kim nodded.

Sam smiled and reassured the others.

Walker scowled at the guards. "What do you think you're doing?"

The guards shuffled uncertainly.

One pointed at the humans. "They tried to escape, sir."

Walker waved his hand. "I can see that. Seems like this isn't enough security to hold them in. They must be relocated."

They nodded. "Where do we take them?"

Walker shook his head. "I will send a guard to escort them. You can leave."

There was a pause. A few moved to leave but the rest stayed put. "But they will escape," one guard said.

Walker nodded. "I will send a guard, as I said."

Still nothing happened. Walker got angry. "HAVE I NOT MADE MYSELF CLEAR?!"

They scattered in a hurry. No one wanted Walker angry at them. Amorpho smirked when the hallway emptied. He turned to the humans.

They were putting on the shoes they had thrown at the guards and were giving Walker wary looks.

Amorpho morphed into himself.

The humans gasped and Maddie stood ready to fight. Sam waved her hands.

"No. He's here to help... I think?"

Kim nodded as she stood next to the tall ghost. "We have come up with a plan." She smiled victoriously as she dug out the remote and held it up.

There was a short silence. Then the humans burst out and demanded answers.

Kim looked around. It was still empty but it wouldn't be long before the real Walker came charging up. "Guys. I will explain later. We have to leave now."

Sam frowned. "But where are Tucker and the others."

"They will meet us at the ship. Right now we have to leave before they come." She started running down the hallway. "Follow me."

Amorpho's body melted and reformed into a guard. He shooed the students forward and ran after them, as if he was trying to capture them.

Kim panted as the others followed her. James appeared next to her and she smiled at him.

He grinned back. "Kim! I'm so happy you're ok. How did you get here?"

Kim redirected her attention to where they were and made sure she didn't take a wrong turn. That would cost them precious time. "I'm happy to see you too, James, but we can't talk now."

"Right. You're too busy saving everyone...again."

Kim blushed.

Suddenly shouts were heard from behind them. New guards were coming. Kim picked up the pace. She looked up. 3A. Ugh, they weren't fast enough.

But she couldn't go any faster. She just hoped they could get there before...

No such luck.

A few guards appeared from a hallway next to her.
