After mercy-killing Pyro and burning his body, we had to find and turn 2 valves again to put out the fire. After putting it out, we just noticed that we had our jackets on. And that's how you plan ahead.

"Thank God for rain," I sighed. DJ and I pulled up our zippers and put our hoods on. We went outside into the rain. We were in the courtyard. It was raining moderately hard and it wasn't that bad, but I think DJ and I could've done without the deafening thunder coming at unexpected moments. Because we were outside, we wanted leave this place and go home, but the metal walls had barbed wires, which made us irritated. We also had to look for Father Daniel and Father Martin. "We need to get out of the rain."

"There's a shed over there," DJ pointed. We ran to the shed and stayed the there for a few minutes. I saw a key and decided to grab it just in case. "You ready Tiny?" I nodded.

We went out in the rainy courtyard and looked for the preachers. We came across a door that was locked. Luckily, I had the key so I unlocked the door and we went in.  We went past a few doors and we had to go out in the rain again. 

"Let's see what is above the ladder," I suggested. But this time, I went first because DJ didn't want me call him thicc AF. After going up, we were on the roof. This made me nervous because I was a tall dude and there was lightning in the air. Lightning usually struck the tallest objects or human beings. After jumping from roof to roof stealthily like Batman, we went into another part of the courtyard where terrified and depressed Variants dwelled. "Damn."

We saw Variants curled up and we heard some of them speak in soft, but terrified tones. We kept walking and lept over a fence. It was a big drop, but we were ok. The grass suddenly shuffled.

"It must've been Chris Walker," I sighed. "We better hide or blend in with the darkness." We put away our camcorders and stayed silent until Chris Walker walked away. We got on top of the ledge and moved carefully past the barbed wires. After moving past the wires, we jumped down quietly in order not to attract any attention to ourselves. But we ended up getting chased by Chris Walker. That sum bitch.

We ran from him until we crawled under a hole that was big enough for us to crawl under, but small enough that Chris Walker couldn't get through. The door was locked, so we had to get in through the window. When we got in, we saw Father Martin on the floor above us. But we didn't see Father Daniel with him.

"You saw the Walrider didn't you?" Father Martin asked. "You're beginning to understand. Get up here as quickly as possible." We got up the stairs and jumped the gaps between the broken stairs. We also had to follow some more blood trails. When we reached the top, we had to turn on 3 fuses in order to power the laundry chute. It was weird. I didn't mind weird, but I was getting really tired of us scavenging for things. We went down a corridor and saw a sign that read DRIVE IN THE NAILS in blood. Thankfully we stumbled upon a fuse for the laundry chute. We just needed 2 more.

We went back to the laundry chute and put in the fuse. As we kept walking, we saw INVITE THE WALRIDER in blood. What did all this mean? I picked up another fuse. Now we need one more.

As we kept walking, we saw another sign that said PRAY FOR REVELATION in blood. But when we opened a door, we got chased by another Variant. Luckily, we grabbed the last fuse. We immediatley ran back to the laundry chute and put in the last 2 fuses. The laundry chute opened and we grabbed the key inside it. It gave us access the third floor so we ran and evaded our pursuers until we went to the third floor. I unlocked it and we slowly climbed the stairs.
