"Wake up! Inspection time!" A loud voice roared all of a sudden, the three were startled while John almost fell off his bed. Three men appeared, intimidating and armored as always. Arkin wondered why the organization even wanted them. The men began to unlock John's cell door, and immediately they began thrashing around the room, looking for any signs of trying to escape. Arkin began sweating as it was Justin's turn to be searched. When suddenly, he thought of a way to hide it. Arkin quickly grabbed the poorly drawn map and hid it under the bolted toilet as it had a small hole good for hiding things. Just in time, the men unlocked Arkin's cell door. They hurriedly searched the room, finding nothing unusual. They locked the door and left quickly and possibly reported to Weliston. Arkin was relieved to hear them leave, he looked for the paper and noticed that it was gone. He panicked as he realized that the hole was deeper than he thought and the paper slid down it. Arkin gave up hope of an escape, they were doomed. Silence was again the only thing heard in the whole jail room, it was until Kyle burst in and shut the door behind him. He quickly ran up to the cells and began to talk.
"Okay guys, don't ask any questions, we don't have time. I disabled the cameras long enough for us to talk, the laughing gas lost effect and now I'm gonna tell you everything I know about this place." Kyle quickly gave Arkin a folded piece of paper and left at the exact time the surveillance camera activated again. "Guys, the camera doesn't record sound as this guide says, this is perfect!" Arkin exclaimed as he proudly began making a plan based on Kyle's guide. "Guys, our plan will be time sensitive no matter what we do, so if we want to succeed, we need to keep moving. There is no room for failure." Arkin said while writing down the best day for the escape. "Hold on, Arkin pass me that paper." John said, Arkin did as he was told and passed it to Justin who passed it to John. After a few moments of analyzing, John began to inform them what will happen in the following days
"Guys, we're gonna have to suffer training tomorrow, more training the next day, even more in the other days. Only lunch and lockdowns count as free time." Arkin was shocked as it might mean the escape plan may take more than a day to make. "Pass me the paper, quickly. I need to write all I can before it's too late!" He said as he rushed to his desk to write what seemed to be a long paragraph full of steps and processes. The next day came and Arkin had barely slept, they were forced into running to maintain their shape. Hours and hours of running passed and finally it was lunchtime, by then Arkin was drowning in sweat along with Justin and John.
"Ah crap, this is only day one. I'm scared of what they're gonna make us do in the next couple of days." Arkin expressed. They quickly ate, they showered and got new clothes, then off to training they go. This time they were forced to do 500 push-ups, Justin nearly fainted after hearing that. After only 30 their bodies already shut down, they were forced to at least do 250 by threats of torture and less food. They were thrown into lockdown after showering, Arkin was too weak to plan, was this the organization's plan after all? Force someone into work all day so they can't think to argue during relaxation because they couldn't think at all? Arkin fell asleep. The next day came and more torture and training came, they were forced to run 10 kilometers. It wasn't that hard as they were already used to it, lunch came and they ate and showered, more horrendous training. Wake up, train, eat and shower, train again, and fail at making a plan. It always goes like that, day after day, it was until that Arkin completed his plan that things got interesting.
"Tomorrow's the day... we get out of here." He said in a weak tone before falling asleep, relaxed.
