Quinn and Eric felt along the whole side of the wall and Eric found a doorknob.
"Quinn. Over here." Eric whispered. Quinn scurried over and opened the door.
They walked down the narrow hall one by one. It was too narrow to walk side by side.
"Listen, I know that Phoenix is your best friend. But, you have to stick to the plan in order to save her." Eric whispered.
"I know! Why do you think I'm not going to stick to the plan?" Quinn sighed.
"Because I know you. You love Phoenix. If you saw her tied up, and asking for help, you would not stick to the plan of leaving her. You would try to untie her. Then that's where Daniel and Henry tie you up too, and then we all die." Eric explained.
"Wow. You've really thought about this." Quinn snickered.
"I'm not kidding." Eric stopped and turned around to face Quinn. "I love you and if anything happened to you I would never forgive myself."
"I love you too Eric. I promise to stick to the plan. Let's just pray that you find her." Quinn muttered.
Eric and Quinn walked for a couple more minutes down the hall. Occasionally they would run into a dead cricket, a spider web, some bones. Quinn almost turned around and left when they saw a full skeleton of a human.
"Okay. This is the fork." Eric stopped when they reached two different paths.
"I'll take the left." Quinn volunteered.
"Okay. Remember Quinn."
"Stick to the plan." Quinn nodded.
"Good. I love you." Eric grabbed her hand.
"Eric, nothing's going to happen to either one of us." Quinn assured Eric.
"Okay." Eric nodded. He kissed Quinn and Quinn marched down the left path while Eric went down the right.
Quinn and Eric traveled at the same pace, each eager to find Phoenix, hoping to get out of here alive. Quinn reached a door a couple minutes later, and Eric reached a trapdoor.
"What the hell?" Eric states above at the trapdoor. He went up the ladder and opened it. He was in the theater. This trap door must've been on the stage the whole time and no one ever noticed.
Quinn opened the door and found herself in the lobby. There was Kris's couch, and the piano. She looked around and saw Phoenix sitting on a couch handcuffed to a desk.
"Geez. No one realized this was here the whole time." Eric scanned the theater for Phoenix but she obviously wasn't there.
"Phoenix listen to me. I'm getting Eric, and then we're getting you out of here." Quinn whispered. Phoenix nodded. Quinn reluctantly went back into the door and ran down the passage and waited for Eric at the fork.
A couple minutes later, Eric met Quinn at the fork.
"She's in there. Through the door. Lobby. No one in there." Quinn paced.
"Come on. We have to be quick." Eric took out a knife.
"No. She's not tied. She's handcuffed." Quinn's eyes widened.
"What?" Eric questioned.
"A bobby pin. I need one." Quinn looked at Eric.
"Why are you looking at me?" Eric asked. Quinn felt through her own hair and found a stray bobby pin.
"Perfect. Let's go." Eric followed Quinn down the path and opened the door again.
Quinn ran lightly to the other side of the room and got the handcuff off. She took the tape off of Phoenix's mouth.
"Thank god. They have guns. We have to go." Phoenix hurried Quinn back to the door.
Eric was gone. Daniel was standing at the entrance to the door.
"Where do you two think you're going?" Daniel asked.
"Daniel what the hell is wrong with you? Just because everyone at theater hates you?" Quinn rolled her eyes.
"Don't Quinn." Phoenix warned her.
"You heard me! Shoot me with the gun. I dare you." Quinn put her hands on her hips.
Henry walked into the room. "Girls. Quinn, I see you've met my son."
"Yeah jackass. I knew him. Listen, here's what's going to happen. We're going to find Eric, we're going to get the hell out of here, and no one has to know that you two kidnapped my friend and killed dozens of people." Quinn said confidently.
"No. Eric is somewhere else. You won't be able to find him." Daniel shook his head.
"Try me bitch." Quinn glared at him. Phoenix stood star struck.
"We'll give you ten minutes to find Eric, and if you do you can leave." Henry surrendered.
Quinn was bargaining with a murderer. "Fifteen minutes."
"Fine. That's all. Go ahead." Henry stepped out of the way.
Quinn raced into the theater and checked every row of seats. Not there.
Phoenix checked backstage in all the nooks and crannies where she had hidden before. Not there.
Quinn checked by the stairs that led up to the theater. Not there either.
Phoenix checked the seats again and backstage for a second time.
Quinn checked the boys bathroom and saw Eric huddling in the corner with his feet and hands taped up.
"Did they seriously think that just because I'm a girl, I wouldn't go in here?" Quinn took the tape off, and grabbed Phoenix.
"We have to go." Quinn told her.
"They said they wouldn't hurt us if we found him." Phoenix reminded her.
"They're killers Phoenix. They're not exactly good at keeping promises." Quinn grabbed Phoenix's hand and they ran out the front door. They had made it all the way to the parking lot.
Daniel was standing at Eric's car. Henry was standing at the entrance to the parking lot. "We're screwed." Phoenix realized.
Daniel was brandishing a gun and Henry didn't look like he wanted to have a great time with his friends.
"Crap." Eric sighed.
