Blood Orders

The Video

Vivian
Day of invasion
As soon as night finishes setting in everyone meets at the center of camp wearing all black as instructed earlier today. “Okay so everyone knows what to do?” Scarlett asks us. “Yes!” We yell collectively. “Good, now let's move.” Mike leads us toward the building. My mom and Lucy follow close behind him while Scarlett and I take up the caboose of our little train.

“How are you holding up Viv?” I glance at her to see worry written all over her face. “I’m okay, Scar, just nervous something will go wrong,” I admit. “That’s understandable.” Her hand brushes against mine while we walk making me blush a little at the contact, but she does not seem to notice.  

“Did you guys make sure to carry some of the daggers Mike got from the city?” Scarlett asks after a minute. I sigh before answering. “Yeah, we did. I hope we won’t have to use them though.” “I hope so too. Just know that whatever happens, we will not harm anyone unless you give the okay.” I smile a little at this. It is sweet she is trying to change, but it sounds a little sadistic that other peoples’ lives might end up in my hands. 

We reach the building in about forty minutes or so. When we arrive Mike explains that we will all follow him after he knocks out a few guards before disappearing for a few minutes. When he returns I notice he has something in his hand. As we make our way to him, he walks toward Scar meeting her not too far from the building. "I found this key card on one of the guards." He holds up the card to Scarlett. She takes it before approaching the door.

We all make eye contact with each other as we stand at the door. We all understand that as soon as we enter the building we will have to follow our instincts and use our training if necessary. Scarlett swipes the card and we unknowingly go into the deep end of all of this. 

The building looks like how a hospital would except for the fact that most of the rooms are cells. We walk quietly down the hallway trying to avoid cameras while making it to the part of the hall with a row of jail cells on each side. "Mike," Scarlett whispers, "see if you can find  any clothes we can wear so we won't stand out as much." Mike nods before turning away to start his task.

"Hello?" We hear a soft female voice come from the cell closest to us. "Are you here to help us escape?" She asks. "Yes if you'll help us with a few things." Scar answers. "Of course I'll help just get me out of here." "Yo, guys this room is full of guard outfits." I turn to the cell with the girl then say, "We'll be back soon to get you out." "Wait, I have something you need." 

I join the others in the room where Mike found the guard outfits. We put on the outfits over our normal clothes, and as soon as my outfit was on I handed Scar the object the prisoner gave me. “Where did you get these?” She said quizzingly. “I got them from the prisoner we were just talking to.” “It seems we were not the only ones planning to free some of the people here.” She said as she twirled the keyring with a decent amount of keys on it. “Yeah, I’m just glad they are labeled with cell numbers.” I laugh out.

We decided to have Mike keep an eye on us from the security cameras, and make sure he keeps them from recording while we are here. As soon as they stop recording we will free the prisoners closest to us. They will stay in the room closest to the back door with my mom and Lucy. Scar and I will proceed to look for more prisoners to free. We are to keep doing what we are doing until someone sounds the alarm then we are to run back to camp with whatever or whoever we have with us. 

Mike just radioed Scarlett over their walkie-talkies telling us we are free to move. Mom and Lucy do their job while we set out to do our part. I follow Scar down the hall as we keep an eye out for guards and more cells. We have to be prepared to hide just to make sure no one can identify us if we get caught. We walk around ducking behind walls when we think someone is coming. It has been at least twenty minutes since we left the others and I am starting to get a bad feeling about being here.

I pull Scar into a room when I notice some guards up ahead. We stay quiet until we know they are gone. “What’s all this for?” I ask taking in everything around the room. A few whiteboards litter the walls here and there with writing about unknown things scribbled on them. Some lab tables sat in different parts of the room with experiment equipment and papers scattered across them. Near one of the tables sits a laptop with a flash drive in it. 

I make my way over to the laptop noticing some papers sitting neatly in front of it and a video from the flash drive just waiting to be watched. I peer over at Scar thinking this might be a trap. She seems to understand and makes her way to the door to keep an eye out. 

I turn my attention back to the articles laying in front of the laptop; I pick them up and read them carefully. I stand there in shock at what I am reading while feeling other emotions run through me. I keep reading, knowing these documents are groundbreaking. I look up at the videos staring back at me. I take a deep breath then press play.
