Lydia, Stiles and Bonnie wearily left the room, the lights were on, a loud alarm blaring. Stiles headed quickly towards the gate, and opened it.

"It's open." He said, as he walked through and ushered the girls through with him.

"They're not here." Lydia whispered as they entered the corridor where they left Scott and Kira.

"They must have gotten out when the Dread Doctors came." Bonnie commented, whispering when she mentioned them. Her breathing was still ragged from the shock.

"Well I hope they did." Stiles stated, "Let's get out of here."

The three of them broke out into a run. They reached the stairwell and continued up the stairs as fast as they could. When they reached the top, Lydia stopped.

"Are you alright?" Bonnie asked worriedly, Lydia shook her head.

"I didn't think we'd be running when I picked out these shoes." She breathed, "And I'm not the athletic one, you are."

Bonnie would have laughed in a normal situation but couldn't.

"Come on, Lydia." Stiles gushed, waving his hands.

"Okay." Lydia took off again with Bonnie and Stiles. When they found their way back into the main foyer, the man behind the desk was no where to be seen.

Lydia and Stiles ran towards the exit and out the door without looking back. Bonnie slowed to a stop at the desk, looking for the container with their things in. She saw it on a shelf and walked around the side, her shaky hands pushing against a door. She turned left when she went through, finding her way into a small room. She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw the orderly from before sat on the ground, his arms around his knees.

"Have they gone?" He asked. Bonnie nodded slowly, her eyes flickering to the container on the shelf. She felt nervous, like it was so easy for him to just grab her and keep her here. "I knew you'd come back Bonbon."

Bonnie shuddered, her lips pursing into a thin line.

"Sorry to disappoint." Bonnie grumbled, "I'm just visiting."

"You were my favourite plaything." He told her, making her quickly reach over and grab the container from the shelf.

"You're disgusting." She seethed through gritted teeth as she quickly turned and left out of the door she came through. She ignored his calling out for her, and ran towards the main doors, careful not to drop the container in her hands.

When she reached the courtyard, she couldn't see her friends. She assumed they were back at the cars so she continued until she reached the gate. Stiles saw her and opened the gate for her.

"Where did you go!?" He asked quickly, making Bonnie hold up the container.

"We're not getting away from this place without keys." She answered. She looked around, seeing everybody but Kira. "Where's Kira?"

"In the Jeep. She's incredibly weak." Scott stepped forward, "Let's get home."

Bonnie climbed into the back of Stiles Jeep and rested Kira's head on her lap and once Stiles and Lydia were seated, they began the journey to Scott's house.

It was a quiet journey. When they arrived, Scott carefully carried Kira into the safety of his home. Stiles then took the girls back to his house, so they could collect their car and go home.

During the car ride home, Lydia said she'd fill Bonnie in on all that had happened in the morning. Bonnie agreed that was a good idea as she was so tired and just wanted to go to sleep.
