Mark's group was in a hallway on the other side of the building, checking the four doors that were there. "Matt, since you're the theory guy... what do you think is going on here." Nate opened the first door on the right, going into the room first and beckoning the other two to follow. "I do theories on games and movies, I don't think I really have one on this though. This is real life, so there's gotta be a logical explanation for everything going on, it's probably just an abandoned ghost town." The room they were in was small and cramped, filing cabinet drawers gaped open with their contents strewn about the room.
"What about you, Mark... any ideas?" Mark had been silent since yelling at Ethan, he wasn't saying everything and Mark knew it. He could see it all over Ethan's face, he knew things about this place, about what's going on. He knew, because he had been in a similar situation before. "What's going on here isn't natural, I can feel it. We were drawn here and now we're trapped, and the one person who potentially knows something won't say a damn thing about it! It pisses me off." Mark hissed the last sentence under his breath. Nate looked through the cabinets in dismay. "Do you really think that there's something more to this place?" Mark huffed, annoyed, "I know there is."
The sound of rustling papers filled the room for a few seconds before Mark slammed his hand on top of the metal cabinet, causing Matt and Nate to flinch involuntarily. "He knows something! He has to!" "What proof do you even have?" Mark turned towards Matt, a hint of frustration and another indiscernible emotion flickered in his eyes. "It's a very strong gut feeling, along with the crazy lady singling him out, and all we got from him was a half-assed denial then he changed the subject."
Nate sighed, "Honestly, all I care about is getting out of here. It feels wrong being in this town, and it's freaking me out that that woman seems to have been the only person we saw so far. I just want to go home." Mark began walking towards the door, his hand holding the side of his head, where a migraine started setting in. "I need to step out for a bit, I'm not feeling too great now." Matt and Nate glanced questioningly as Mark left the room, the door latching shut behind him as he leaned back against it.
He sat on the cold floor, taking deep breaths as he hoped the cold would quell the heat beginning to radiate from him. Not now, please not now. This can't be happening right now. He coughed into his hand, noticing the black liquid in his palm as he pulled it away from his mouth. "Great..."
