"THIS WAY, GENTLEMEN." a scientist says, leading a group of men with suitcases. in front of the scientist was dr. brenner. they were walking down the halls in a fast pace. "the entire east wing will be evacuated within the hour." the scientist informs, "we've sealed off this area following quarantine protocol."

the group turn the corner to a plastic cover and two guards. they unzip it, allowing dr. brenner and the others to get through. they all went into a room and began changing into white plastic suits and other protective gear. they all took a gun with them.

the men stood in an elevator, patiently waiting to arrive at their destination. the elevator thuds and the door opens. they turn their flashlights on and start searching the place.

they stop to study a strange gooey substance all over the wall. there was a low growl coming from behind the hole. "this is where it came from?" one of the man asks. "yes." another says. "and the girls?" dr. brenner answers,

"they couldn't have gone far."








LEAVES CRUNCH BENEATH their feet as they walk barefoot through the woods. they come to a halt once they see a building. the three girls wore hospital gowns and had dirt covering their bodies.

a man came outside of the building with a full trash bag. he dumps it in the can before returning back inside. the girls all look at each other. "should we go in?" one asks. the others nod before making their way down to the building.

the one with the shaved head opens the door first, peeking inside to make sure nobody was there. she turns around and gives a small nod to the other two, letting them know that it was safe to go in. she fully opens the door and walks in a bit further. the two follow, looking around.

there were shelves with different cans or boxes. they all stop when the hall ends and keeps their eyes on the man they saw take the trash out. he was carrying a basket of food, placing it down on the table. "all right, and one more." he says.

"hey, ben. what do you think about that, uh..." the man sitting at the table spoke. the man from outside throws his hands up and places them back on his hips. "hey, i don't know. i don't know, 37 points per game average—"

the girls decide that it was safe for them to keep going while he was busy talking to the men at the table. they push the doors open with caution and analyze their surroundings once they entered. it looked like a weird kitchen.

one of the girls wander off into the back without the other two and notices a basket of fries. "guys," she whispers, pointing to the food. the girl with the shaved head moves in front of the other one and picks it up to sniff it. she shrugs and slowly picks one up, eating it. the other two join in, looking up every few seconds to make sure the man wasn't looking. they ate rapidly as if they hadn't eaten in days.

which in their case, they haven't.

the men were still chatting so they stop paying attention to him and instead focus on the fries. the man turns back around and stops to see three little heads stealing his food. he leans in to get a closer look before yelling, "hey!"

the loud sound scares them, causing them to jump and shoot their heads up. "oh shit." one says taking the basket of fries and running. "come here!" the man says. they run out of the door and head to the back where they got in.

the man quickly grabs them by their arms before they could leave, causing the fries to spill all over the floor and the basket to fall out of her hands. he spins the girls around. "you guys think you can steal from me?"
