Every night at eight pm, the Soldiers are required to go to their quarters and stay there overnight. For certainty, Tabby was implemented with a 'lockup' option for the soldier's doors. Due to incidents in the past, the door of every soldier gets locked, then at nine, the scientists get their doors locked.

After nine-thirty, the whole of the Moth Mound goes dead silent, and pitch black. It's honestly a nightmare. Though I rarely see it, I despise it. The only thing I despise more now is the whistle that started to come from the hallways that come from none other than the blonde Virus.

Tonight was no exception, but I had a gut feeling. I switched my vision over to Adrien, who was in another metallic tomb. He seemed to be stuck awake. There was a few mutters outside before two gunshots. Adrien let off a groaned sigh, already aware of who was outside.

The door opened and there he was, "Hey there, firecracker!" He sang in a chipper tone. Adrien didn't say a word in response, he just shut his eyes in an attempt to block out the noise. But, of course, he kept talking, "Happy fourth of July!"

A crack forced Adrien to listen. Before he noticed what was transpiring, the door swung open for his tomb. Toby stood as smug as ever with a crowbar, "Get it; firecracker, July fourth, freedom," He shrugged, and just leaned on a metal baseball bat.

Adrien took a long moment before he stepped down from the metal tomb, only able to eye the blonde suspiciously. He looked at the doorway and the blood which leaked in, he didn't bother to eye the dead bodies too much just yet.

"What's cracking, fireworks?" Toby snapped Adrien out of it, grin still there, "Not feeling festive?"

His puns were met with a squint and cold silence. Adrien opened his mouth for a second, which made Toby tilt his head to listen. In return, Adrien shut his mouth instantly. This was weird. Very weird.

Toby's smile fell into a closed mouth, then he shrugged and turned on his way. out of the door, he hopped over the blood. Finally, Adrien spoke, "What is this?"He began to step over to the doorway, eyes on the bodies finally, and the giant holes in their faces, "Holy shit hold on, they're dead!"

Upon looking up, Toby had already started to chew on a bagel, "Seems so," He sighed slightly in fake empathy, "If it makes you feel better, one was a child sex offender." He shrugged, then stuttered, "The other guy did have a family of three though."

"How the fuck do you know that?!" Adrien started to pipe up.

"Cus I was standing here, Pyro," He pointed to the men in order of who is was necessary to, "He shot him cus he found out he's a... Yknow," Followed by a mumbled, "Then he shot himself because he realized he would never see his family again."

A long silence, a really long silence as Toby ate the raw bagel and Adrien watched him with a frustrated and horrified look. Toby stepped over and held out the bagel, "Hey can you cook thi-"

Adrien grabbed it and set it on fire, "Why the hell did you let me out, no one else is here?!"

Toby still held the bagel for a moment until the gloves set fire on the fingertips which he was quick to shake off, "Oh yeah, here," He took a pair of keys out of his pocket and threw them into Adrien's hands, he fumbled lightly with them, "You can let the gaggle out if you want, gingersnap."
