Becoming Mary Jane

Chapter 5

The past few hours, I spent nothing but lying on my bed, planning my escape, and crying here on then. A girl I assume probably only a few years older than me, came in about an hour ago and brought me dinner that I barely touched. I feel bad because I kind of ignored her, and she seemed nice. The only problem is that I'm not in the mood to make new friends.

The room that I was put in is actually not so bad. It's actually kind of like a hotel room. This room basically has a queen-sized bed, a TV, a closet, and a bathroom. At least I'm not being kept in a jail even though I'm being treated like a prisoner.

I find it quite rude that they haven't given me any clothes to change into knowing I'm not a hospital patient anymore. Well I'm definitely not sneaking out in a hospital gown, that's for sure!

On the way to this room, I saw a closet with all of the outfits the agents wear. I'm going to change into one of those outfits and go out as an agent who's done their shift for the night. Then I plan to go to Peter's house. He deserves to know I'm alive first since he's the one Nick doesn't want to know the most. I just can't go on any longer with out seeing my bugboy! Also, I can get Peter to find out more about S.H.I.E.L.D. I don't know if I believe that it's really an organization that helps save the world. Nick seems more like a villain to me. Who knows how many innocent people he has kidnapped!

It is currently 8pm and I plan to leave at midnight. To pass the time, I decide to turn on the TV. I check the news, hoping to find Spiderman. Sadly, he's not on, but Enchanted, one of mine and Peter's favorite movies we watch together, is on. I watch a little bit of it but then eventually sleep takes over me.

I wake up and glance over at the clock. It's five minutes after twelve. Time to go!

I get off the bed and walk over to the door. I peek through the crack to make sure no one's around. Seeing that nobody's in the hallway, I tiptoe out of the room, and walk to the agents' closet.

When I enter the room, I quickly grab an outfit and put it on. I realize that I need to disguise my face so that I won't get caught. I put on a pair of sunglasses and a hat, tucking my hair in it. Then I fold up my hospital gown, leaving it on the hat shelf, and I walk out.

I basically follow the signs that tell me where the main lobby is. When I reach the lobby, I head straight to the exit doors but stop when someone calls me.

"Excuse me, Miss!" the voice says.

I turn around and see it's a lady who works at the front desk.

"Yes?" I say disguising my voice a little and walking over to her.

"You forgot to sign out," she tells me smiling slightly.

"Oh right!" I say taking the clip board and checking off a random name.

"Well I'll see you tomorrow, Rosie," she says since that's the name I checked off.

"See ya!" I smile.

Before I can turn to walk away, the lady says, "You know it's after midnight, right? You must really love sunglasses!"

"My favorite accessory!" I laugh slightly going along with it and walk back to the exit. I can't believe I pulled this off!

"Hold right there, Miss Stacy!"

I stop and turn around. I guess I didn't pull this off!

It's Nick.
