When Silence Kills

It's been a Month since I've talked to anyone. Somehow the news got out about what I'm about to do. I expected at least a plea to stay at Omega Point but all I've heard this entire month is silence. Adam won't even look at me, I realize they think I'm abandoning them for something better but I can't survive in silence anymore. I've decided to leave today during lunch. No one will notice me. Ha even if they did they wouldn't care.

I would have left earlier if it weren't for one thing. Every day at 12:00 AM inventory is taken on everything. One tiny thing missing causes a catastrophe. I'm sure pounds of food, 4 weapons and a car would be noticed even if there wasn't an inspection going on. The only thing I could come up that would cause enough alarm to put the entire base on lockdown would be a mass explosion, so a couple weeks ago I started stealing high tech bombs from Aarons office and storing them in the armory. Thank god the armory is off limits to almost everyone, if it wasn't I would have been discovered and killed days ago.

I don't know what will happen after the bombs go off, maybe i'll never know. Maybe i'll be discovered instantly, most likely i'll be sold on the black market, a girl and one of the most wanted criminals. If not someone is bound to discover that i'm the one who caused the explosion and i'll be hunted and killed. Coming back to Omega Point is a dream right now. Infact the life I have right now will be a dream once these bombs go off.

I grabbed my bags and rush to the door

30 seconds

With only 30 seconds left before the bombs go off my doubts have started to surface. I've already made it out of Omega Point and I'm sure anyone much less Warner or Adam have noticed my absence

I can't turn back.

I won't turn around, there's no hope now.

I don't look back once the bombs go off. I just drive, I didn't know I was crying until it over took me and I had to pull over because the entire time I was collecting bombs and lying to Warner somewhere deep down I knew many people wouldn't make it out.

Maybe i'm no better than my parents or Aaron's father. But at least i've made it this. But how far will I make it after this?
