We went through the vents. I looked down in the hallway and the ghost was clear. I popped my head down to make sure and the place was deserted. We had waited till midnight to go. Everyone would be asleep by now.

Harry jumped down first and I went after him and he caught me. As we turned corners we stopped and Peeped our heads around the corners to make sure no one was there. We can to a door and I slid the keycard and entered the code and we went to the next door. And the next one.

We got to the last one and we turned many corners. The place was like a maze. We got to the exit and I could taste freedom. If I knew what was coming. We heard guns click and we stopped dead in our tracks and turned around.

Janson came through the crowd to the front. "Your smart, you finally figured it out Natalie." He said grinning. "How long have you known?" He asked. "Few days." I said. He clapped. "Such a genius, no one could of figured it out without you." He said still grinning. "You know Natalie, your special, very valuable." He said.

"I'm not an object." I hissed. He laughed. "I knew from day one you were the key, we just had to erase your memories and try and stop you from figuring out who we are, but here we are." He said.

"What do you want from us, all your doing is killing innocent people like Sarah." I said. "We don't kill them Natalie we experiment to get the cure to everything, we could change everything." He said. "And we also know about your visits with little Sarah." He said.

He showed me the clips of me and here. They could here everything and see everything. They showed the clip of me telling Sarah the bedtime story. Tears formed in my eyes and I fought them back. Then he showed the one when I sang to her. Then it showed me telling her to kick ass. And that was the last clip.

"We see, hear and know everything." He said. "I'd also like my keycard back along with Stewart's wrench." He said. I didn't get them. "We can either do this the easy way or the hard way." He said. I still didn't move. "Hard way it is." He said sighing coming closer. "Now." I whispered to Harry and I threw the wrench at Janson and it bounced off him and I ran and grabbed it and ran and caught up with Harry.

We opened the doors and once they closed I broke the keycard hole so they couldn't get through. We sprinted for our lives. We got to the exit and we ran out into the cold butter air. We ran up a hill and we heard Whoosh's. They were shooting at us. "Get them!" Janson yelled. "Don't let them escape!" He yelled again.

We sprinted for our lives and we fought the guards. One kneed me in the guy and he gave me a deep cut on my cheek and punched me in the nose. I jumped onto his shoulder and wrapped my legs around his neck choking him and whacking him hard on the head while he spun around trying to shaking me off.

He ran forward and I fell forward onto the hard surface and he punched me in my right cheek. I done a high elbow and caught him in the nose and kicked him in the shins and kicked his nuts. We ran again and Harry dragged me behind shelter. "Make me promise, if I get caught you run and don't come back." He panted. "N-" he cut me off. "Please, Sarah wouldn't want you to get caught and die in here, she'd want you to be happy like me." He breathed. "For her." He said. "Alright I Promise." I said. He nodded and we ran again.

We headed towards the forest and dodged there shots. Harry got shot and fell to the floor. "Harry!" I yelled. "Go! Remember for Sarah!" He groaned. I let tears fall and I saw them coming closer. "Go!" He yelled. Someone shot a dart at Harry and he was out. I did what he wanted me to do. I sprinted into the forest dodging branches and jumping over log stumps and other big thick tree branches on the floor.

My body ached but I didn't stop. I looked and saw a guard chasing after me. I tried over a log stump and landed with a hard thump. He came closer and grabbed me. I got out my wrench and gave him a hard welt across the head with it and he fell to the floor. I got up with a stumble and ran away again.

I ran as fast as my legs would carry me. As the yelling began distant I stopped and took a breath. I was tired and sore. I went running a again and when I wasn't looking where I was going I whacked into someone hard and hit me head and everything went black.
