Chapter Twenty-Three

The sun shone down on my cold wet body. I was somewhat dry at least. Last night was horrible. All I did was lay there freezing my ass off. I looked down at my watch and it read seven thirty am. I looked over at Olivia who looked like she was dying. She looked as pale as ever.

I looked at Aguilar who had his knees close to his chest. He was deep in thought. I shifted in my spot and sighed. I just remembered that Janson took the keys. There goes my escape plan.

I sat on my knees and slid up to the bars and looked around the place. It looked deserted besides the few doctors roaming around doing there errands.

That's when I saw Janson come with men with large guns in there hands and then there were doctors with food. They came over to us and they shoved the food underneath the gap in the bars. It was dried up mush and it was grey. I pushed it back out.

"Alright then starve to death." He sighed. Olivia had weakly sat up. "Kill the spare." Lucy said. Janson sighed pulling out pistol and he shot Olivia straight in the head.

"No!" I yelled at the top of my lungs and I looked at Olivia's lifeless body. Blood came out from her mouth and her eyes were rolled at the back of her head. I looked at Janson and gave him daggers. "You sick Bastard!" I yelled.

Janson nodded at his guards and they opened up the cell door and dragged her out. "Don't touch her!" I yelled. They ignored me and dumped her body at the bottom of the ocean.

As they began to walk away I spoke up. "Sorry to hear about Will, I believe his name was," Janson stopped in his tracks and turned and stared at me. "Don't worry his death was quick, he didn't suffer only a knife to the neck and he was gone." I said. He had rage in his face.

He stormed over to me and unlocked the cage and grabbed me by the hair and smashed me into the bars and punched me in the nose. He then held his gun to my head. I laughed. "If you were going to kill me you would of done it by now." I said looking up at him. "What makes you so sure?" He asked. "Alright then shoot me." I challenged.

From the corner of my eye I could see his finger tightening on the trigger. He sighed and put his gun away and whacked head again on the cages and threw me inside and his guards locked the door as he walked away.

"What was that all about?" Aguilar asked looking me up and down. I held the keys up with my index finger. He grinned. I licked my lips which were full of my blood. I had a bloody nose along with a few bruises and my mouth was bleeding.

"You alright?" He asked. I looked at him and nodded. I was still mad at him. He looked at me sadly and he ate his mush. I shoved mine out of the cage and lay down flat on my back.

I waited till night fall that night. I had over heard Jansons conversation earlier that they were shipping us out at first light which was at 7. As the dock became deserted I got the keys out of my back pocket. It was a full moon tonight which gave me light. In the light of the moon Aguilar looked at me and gave me a smile. I turned away and stuck the key in hole.

I twisted it slowly until I heard the click and I opened it quickly so it wouldn't creak so much. I fiddled with the keys and opened up Aguilar's cage and I slipped the keys into my back pocket. He grabbed hold of my arm and he lead me through the dock.

We stopped a few times to let guards pass by. Once we were at the end we scrambled up a hill. I used the roots from some plants for support. As we got to the top sirens went off. The huge light was shining down at our empty cages and everyone was rushing getting weapons and getting in vehicles.

We kept low and held onto other running through the night.
