The Wolf Trials

Chapter Ten

Newt slapped Thonas's face, "Wake up Tommy! What the hell is a scott?" Newt paused for a moment, "It can't be one of those people from that country... Is it a name?..." He mumbled.

Newt walked back and picked up the tablet, returning to Patient Files and searched for someone called Scott.

If Thomas knew someone named Scott, perhaps he could help him. Newt had to try something to help his friend.

He tapped frantically on the tablet. There was one name that stood out. Scott McCall.

Newt pulled up his patient file and skim read it, he found out what room he was in. Room 509.

According to building schematics, that was on the seventh floor. Newt was on the second.

He glanced back at Thomas, a slight song of guilt weighed down his stomach. He would be back, Newt reminded himself. He was only leaving to go find this Scott, he must be able to help him somehow.

Newt slipped the tablet back into his jacket and walked out the door, ensuring no one could see him as he walked.

Newt made a beeline for the elevator, breaking off into a sprint as someone rounded the corner behind him, shouting at him.

The doors opened as he approached, a person stepped out of it. Newt was carried forward by his momentum. He dropped to his knees, with his fake guard uniform on he had knee pads. On those he slid on the floor, ducking beneath the guard's legs and sliding into the lift.

Newt leapt up and pushed the fifth floor button frantically. The doors began to slide shut.

He felt the elevator jolt as someone pounded on the closed lift doors. Newt took deep breaths, the sudden rush of adrenaline fuelled through him. He began to look at the tablet again.

There was flashing sign on the tablet, it read: Intruder-Warning. Capture if found. Facility on lockdown.

Newt looked up as the doors slid open with a click, guards were stood in front of him; their guns pointed.

Newt was trapped within the elevator, he had nowhere to go...
