Past

Tyler stared at the door, rocking back and forth on his feet. He knew these doors well and if what was enclosed behind them was the same he knew what he was in-for.

Tyler never knew his mother, he was taken from his father when his mother went missing. The bishop his dad was under didn't believe a man could raise children. He was taken in the dead of night a baby just 9 months old. People say that you cannot remember anything before you were 5 but Tyler remembered this vividly . he remembers being taken from his fathers arms. He remembers his farther fighting for him back only to be shot in the process.

He met josh in the orphanage they were roommates as children. Nico thought josh would be a good influence on Tyler to try and distract him from his fantasies of running away so that one day he would forget. However it was the exact opposite of this Tyler just told josh about Trench and they both would create a plan together .

Tyler snapped out of yet another trance and began to slowly push the door of the orphanage. He looked through the tiny windows in the door to check that no one was there. The place was still not a volunteer or child in sight.

He crept into the small hall way which was too swaying in the wind. The lights swing more violently here. The orphanage was in the derelict part of the complex, only created when more and more parents went missing. Ceiling panels were falling down and wires littered the floor. "Just like the old days" Tyler whispered just loud enough for him to hear, when all of a sudden he had the most brilliant idea.
Get to the records room in the north wing. He was a mouse walking through the halls. He was amazed that no one was around

Tyler arrived at the door to the records room when someone tapped him on the shoulder.
Tyler jumped. He turned around extremely slowly

"You ready" said a small voice
It was the children, they looked worse than they had done a month before. Skinnier,paler.

Tyler got them to follow him though the class rooms and down to the market, the children would have to buy everything however because if anyone saw Tyler they would be killed on the spot he had been given a lot of second chances by now.

Tyler gave the children the money to buy 7 meters of rope and 1 can of oil. They gingerly bought the items with the stall tender asking them eagerly
"What do you need these for then kids"
The boy and girl gave a worried look to each other until the girl spoke up.
"A science project at school" she said hastily trying not to draw suspicion.
"Well good luck to you guys" the vender said to the children as they quickly walked off toward the stairwell where Tyler was waiting.
"Perfect. Now come with me I've got to get a couple of things and then we'll go."
