The Tower

Cristine

"Shhhhh!"

"Sorry..."

Sebastian stepped as quietly as possible, the now silent Cristine cautiously eyeing up the long dark corridor. Whirring echoed in the distance causing panic to surge through the two of them and a mad rush start.

All attempts to be quiet were abandoned; manic running filled the space "Security breach 421! 421! Isolation corridor! " Cristine turned as she ran, only to see a guard carrying... No it couldn't be?!

"Seb!!!!" Cristine panted to the boy in front of her, "The guard!"

"I know its there Cris, we need to get through that door!" He kept running not turning back "But Seb!" Cris was worried she needed to tell him "Seb listen to me! The guard she's got Clarisa!!!"

"What?" Seb stopped looking at the robot carrying a limp C in her arm. "No!!! Clarisa! NO!" Cris pulled Seb into the room "There's no time!"

The door shut sirens ringing in their ears. It was a small metal room, but something had gone on there. The two security cameras were destroyed, smashed to pieces, the metal bench was flipped over sideways and the air vent hung open. "Someone escaped from here. That means we can too." Sebastian looked at Cris. His mind working. "What's wrong Seb?" He walked past her, looking at the bench. Then at the vent. "I'll help you get it up."

They pushed it to the wall as the whirring reached the door. "Quick go!" Cristine helped Sebastian up, following him into the vent as the door opened and the bench hit the ground.
