"What a wonderful question, Newton." Gabi sighed in disappointment at how stupid Newt's question was.

"Shut it, shank." Newt threatened.

Suddenly, a dark spot in the fog moved towards Minho and Alby. Alby let out a loud "Oh!" and pushed Minho and the rest of you behind him. The black spot took the form of a person. It continued to run at you and made little noise. The image evaporated when it approached the window. It just disappeared into thin air.

"They're playin' with us." Alby realized. He threw whatever he was holding to the ground. You were too busy thinking to see what it was, but he looked like he regretted throwing it and picked it up quickly.

Thomas went to Teresa and Gabi's window with them and watched for anything. A seemingly real shape passed by slowly, but didn't turn to them.

"I can't believe they'd abandon me out here like this." Gabi complained. You looked at her, curious. "They said they'd come for me."

"They did?" You asked.

Gabi froze and looked at you like she just slipped the biggest secret she had. Which she did. "W-what? No. Of-of course not!" She laughed nervously.

"They did?" You repeated. "Well, they won't. That's just WICKED."

"They probably told you that so you would come without hesitation." Teresa guessed. "I already knew they wouldn't."

You turned back to the window, where Minho was watching. You walked over and stuck your hand out and waved it. The fog moved from the wind your hand made, creating a gap.

"What now?" Thomas asked.

"We still need to leave." Gally said.

"So we leave." Alby stated.

"How do we do that when we can't see our hand in front of our faces in this fog?" Winston asked.

"We can use something to fan the fog away." You suggested.

"Great idea. Is there anything we can use to do that?" Minho asked.

"I mean there are a couple planks in the basement where we used to keep the weapons, but they're broken." Thomas said.

"Easier to carry." You said.

Another figure limped passed the window and stopped, seemingly looking at you. You watched as it made its way over. Just when you thought it would disappear, a hand slammed on wall next to the window. You gave a small gasp. The hand pulled away after a moment and the figure turned and continued walking.

"What..." You watched in confusion as the shadow disappeared from the sight of the window.

"How do you even think they managed this?" Minho asked, sticking his hand out the other window and waving it.

"Guys..." You were interrupted by their conversation continuing while they guessed. It seemed that the only other person who saw the figure was Fry.

"Hey, guys." Frypan tried. Gally turned to him instantly.

"What's up, Fry?" He asked, his arms crossed.

"So you answer to him but not me?" You asked.

"I don't like you." Gally stated.
