Scientist's POV:
I walked down the dark hallway of the lab, looking at a clipboard. It had all of the information about where the chips are in the bodies of the people who are locked up in here.
???:"Whatcha looking at?"
"Eek!!"
I looked over to see my old friend and lab partner,The Astronaut.
"Astronaut Don't scare me like that!"
Astronaut:"Not my fault you're easily startled."
I wanted to tell him why I was so on edge. How I accidentally killed that person with my electricity..I started shaking at that thought.
Astronaut:"You ok?"
"No..I..I..killed someone.."
It was hard to see his face because of the helmet,but I could tell he looked shocked.
Astronaut:"What happened?"
"I was doing a hallway patrol..when four people let out one of the captives. I tried to grab one person who got out of the way. His friend..well..did not like that. He shoved me and I just grabbed his arm..and accidentally electrocuted him.."
The Astronaut moved his head towards the end of the the hallway.
Astronaut:"Do you hear that?"
"Hear what?.."
The sound of footsteps kept getting closer and closer until The Chemist broke through the door.
Chemist:"They're chasing me!!"
"Who is?"
Chemist:"The guards betrayed us..I was in the lab with The Alchemist when gunfire came in the room..He was fatally hit in the back."
Astronaut:"Damn it.."
I stood there in shock. Why were they trying to kill us? None of us was in contact with the people in the tunnels since.. about 2 years! Wait...
"Chemist."
Chemist:"Yeah?"
"Aren't you siblings with The Runner?"
He was standing there speechless.
Chemist:"Yes..Oh God. My siblings are probably in Danger!!"
"Calm down.. I'm pretty sure they're safe somewhere.."
Merchant's POV:
My head..where..am I?.. I opened my eye to see a weird little prison cell. Oh no. This can't be happening..We just escaped here!! I tried to get up, just to fall flat on my butt.
"Ugh.."
I looked at my hands,seeing chains covering my wrists. They'd taken Fashionista's hair pin away from my pocket. I tried to scream for help,but my mouth was taped shut.
"Okay..look for your way out.."
I tried to rub them off by using the wall,only gave me wall burn. Tried chewing through the tape,only gotten it more stuck. I kept trying until..the door opened.
???:"Ah.. you're awake."
I looked up at the figure. He walked over towards me holding a box.
"Mp.."
Experimenter:"Hmm..I don't see many cuts on your body. Let me change that."
He then pulled out a knife..and stabbed me in the leg with it. Then the torso. Then the arm. My screams were muffled by the tape,in which he pulled out a needle from the box and began to sew one of the stab wounds together..like I was a piece of ripped clothing.
Experimenter:"Your girlfriend was more resistant. I literally had to staple her hands to the wall to keep her still."
I froze. The tape fell from my mouth as I started panicking.
"What did you do to her?!"
Experimenter:"Nothing much. She's just locked up somewhere else. Maybe bruised up a bit, but ok."
I have a feeling that she's a lot more hurt.
"You..MONSTER..Just let her go!"
Experimenter:"I know. I was just raised this way, just like everyone else in this job."
"It's a horrible one."
"Experimenter:"I'll leave now..see you later!"
He then walked out of the cell, leaving me a crying and bloody mess. What were they doing to her?!
"Help.. somebody!! Anyone?! Help!"
I lost my voice after trying to call for help for hours. I felt so tired and sick that I.. just passed out.
