Tom's POV
"Hey, wake up" someone kicked my shin.
"Ow! What?" My voice still sounding tired, I open my eyes to reveal Victoria standing over me with a tray in her hands
"Food and water, not alot but it was hard to sneak out" I move in my seat to sit up, she hands me the tray
"Thank you" I look over to Carl who still appears to be asleep, there's a tray of food on the side table for him "Carl" I whisper yell
"Best let him sleep a bit more, the meds will have worn off, so he'll be in pain" I look between Victoria and Carl, his chest rising evenly.
He looks so peaceful, I don't want to see him pain, best to let him rest
Victoria takes a seat at the other side of the room, I begin to tuck in to my vegetables and unnamed meat
It's defiantly animal meat, just don't wanna think about what kind
"There's something I need you to do" I look over to Officer Miller who is with her hands on her knees, looking quite tense, I swallow my mouth full of food
"What is it?"
"When he wakes up he's gonna be in alot of pain, too much to walk about. You can't stay here much longer, its only a matter of time until someone catches on, so we need some Acetaminophen from the medicine lockup"
"What's Aceta-"
"It's painkillers"
"Oh okay, so what do you need from me?"
"Well the medicine lockup is-"
"Locked up?"
"Yeah and Dawn's the only person with the key, you need to get into her office, get the key out of the top drawer in her desk and hand it to me
"And Dawn is?"
"The leader, the boss"
"And why can't you just do this?"
"Cause I live here, with these people, if I get caught stealing medicine, it'll be bad"
"And if I get caught?"
"I'll get you out of here, both of you"
I glance back to Carl "So, how am I getting there?"
She walking over to the counter picking something up and walking over, handing it to me "What's this?"
"Uniform, it'll help you blend in, but it won't make you invisible, so you're still gonna have to be careful" I glance down at the fabric in my hands, appears to be a nurses uniform "I'll come get you once Dawn leaves her office" I nod as she walks towards the door leaving me and Carl.
I removed my clothes, putting on the uniform, all whilst keeping and eye on Carl in case he were to wake up, not long after Victoria bursts through the door "She's gone, now's our time" I quickly rush over to Carl, planting a kiss on his forehead "I'll be back soon".
Victoria hurries me down the corridor and up a flight of stairs, once on the next floor we walk a couple of feet before we she stops "Through those doors, 3 doors to your right, don't go down the other corridor, I didn't see her lock the door so she probably plans on returning soon, I'll be right here"
"Okay" I nod pushing open one of the double doors, my heart beating a 100 times a minute, I slowly make my way down the corridor, after passing two doors there's another corridor to the right, this one has 2 people making conversation, both dressed like me.
Okay, okay, okay, you got this, act normal, head down
I walk past the opening of the corridor, neither of them even aware to my presence, after an other couple steps, I arrive outside the third door, slowly turning the handle, it opens, slowly pushing it open to reveal no one inside. I quickly rush over to the desk at the far end of the room, opening the top drawer, inside is some pens, a notepad, a flashlight and the key, I can feel the smile creeping up on my face as I grab the key, I close the drawer.
"Who the hell are you?!"
I look up to the doorway, there stands a woman, not much talker than myself with dark black hair and a officers uniform
"And what the hell are you doing?!" She walks further into the room
I walk very slowly from behind the desk "Um, I'm... new, the names Jake, just... doing some cleaning" I fake smile trying to get past her
"Uh huh, that's enough" she grabs my arm, pulling out handcuffs, she gets one on my left hand before I push her to the left, making a break for the door but she grabs me by shoulders
Fuck
She throws me backwards, stumble against the desk almost going over it, she pulls her gun out of its holster, intent on aiming it at me, I throw my hands in front of me, grabbing her hands which hold the gun, key still pressed firmly in my hand
BLAM
A shot rings throughout the room, the bullet hitting the wall behind me, I push against the desk moving our hands high in the air holding the gun
BLAM
Another shot goes off, small bits of dust and rumble fall down from the ceiling, I push with all my might, the gun now facing the opposite direction to me, past Dawn
BLAM
The gun goes off once again before I throw it out Dawn's grip, it slides across the room to the doorway, where someone now stands, they look at their feet then back to us, griping their stomach as blood runs over their fingers.
No.
