Chapter 2:

Maybe this could be my Ticket to continue to get the hell outta here.

Karen then tried to get herself up and try to run but when she tried to take a step she felt a sharp pain all over her body. Karen just remembered that she just took a very gutsy leap and ended at the bottom of a very steep canon and there were probably pointed rocks at the bottom of the river. Of course, it was in the middle of the night she looked up in the sky and saw that there was a full moon out after the clouds moved to camouflage it during her ordeal with the guards. She looked down at her body even though the moon only helped her a little. She had very serious gashes from the rocks and judging by the pain she was getting, she could have possibly broken or got a very deep gash in her leg.

I gotta move fast so that they won't find out that I am alive… But if they think I am dead…No I can't let that happen…

So with her attempts to move, she starts to pace herself to make it to a place with any kind of transportation to get her to the nearest town to treat her wounds. Just then she paused and noticed that there was a train that mysteriously appeared into Karen's view.

"Well, it's better then nothing at all" Karen mumbled under her breath. She was able to pull herself so that she could get herself onto the train. But while she was walking on the steps of the train she let out some moans of how bad her wounds were. Then she opened the door, she looked around and noticed that there wasn't a soul in sight in the train at all. Just then, when she was walking towards the end of the train, Karen started to cough up blood. She realized that her wounds were getting really severe at this point and she was losing blood fast.

"Perfect, just fantastic… All I need right now more complications." Karen mumbled to herself and then coughs up even more blood. She grabbed the top part of a seat then made herself sit on the floor. And leaned against the wall, Karen looks up at the sealing and said to herself

Maybe you need some rest, yeah that's all you need then you can plot even more on your escape…

With that thought in mind, Karen closed her eyes then fell asleep. Outside of the train, there were two beams of lights that were walking towards the door of the train. Karen, due to her extreme loss of blood she was barely conscious she would black out every few seconds she noticed the two beams but she couldn't move her body felt like a block of cement so even if she tried to move now it would be too late.

Karen could hear the two people outside as she blacked out;

"Hey come take a look at this," said a female voice.

"SHIT!… Move!" said a stern male voice. With that, the male opened the door and notice the trail of blood on the ground. Just then the female heard harsh breathing so she led her flashlight along the trail of blood until she could see Karen's white shoe that was covered in blood.

The man pointed his flashlight in the same direction; just in a few split seconds he dropped his flashlight on the ground and ran toward Karen was at. He knelt down and yelled;

"KAREN!KAREN, CAN YOU HEAR ME! IT'S ME YOU DAD!" Karen tried to open her eyes but her body was so weak she could only open her eyes a few seconds at a time. Karen's father then said;

"Everything is going to be alright now I'm here and that is all that matters…" Karen noticed the sound of the female taken out some object, which was probably a first aid kit.

"Here, let me treat her wounds…" said the female.

Then Karen looked over and saw that the female was taken out a syringe to put some medication in it, she started to flip out;

"No! I won't let you…" Karen was able to let out. Her father then notices that she was out of it.

"What do you mean Karen?"

The female approached her; Karen was having flashbacks when she was at the asylum of the nurses injecting her with tranquilizers when she would misbehave.

"NO!" Karen exclaimed she then tries to attack the female. Her father held her hands and told her calmly.

"Karen it is okay."

Karen at this time couldn't move her legs her arms were her only thing that could function. She screamed at her father;

"NO! DON'T MAKE HER! PLEASE, I BEG OF YOU!" Karen then started to tear up because she was frightened about what is going to happen to her right then and there… then the female was about to inject her with the medicine then she notices the inside of her arms were really bruised. Then with no hesitation, she injected Karen with the medication, Karen's body was telling her to close her eyes for the night. The female informed Karen's father about the bruising,

"Hey take a look at this." the father couldn't believe his eyes.

"What the hell did they do to my girl?" Karen's father was very angry at this time he couldn't believe the bruising on his daughter, and then he noticed bruising on his daughter's wrists, ankles and even the inside of the wrists due to the many injections that she received at the asylum.

"What could have caused these?" asked the female. Karen's father then replied to her

"Judging by them they were restraints of some kind."

So soon after, the female started to do a medical treatment of Karen's wounds.

-A couple of Hours Later-

Karen finally woke up from being heavily medicated, her vision was blurry then it became clear. Her father's face was easily recognizable, she was starting to go into tears, and her father is no other than Billy Coen the ex-marine. Billy was wearing a long black t-shirt underneath a red flannel shirt. But the sleeves on the flannel shirt were tucked in so that you could see the long black sleeves. Also, he was wearing a pair of blue jeans that looked similar to the ones he wore when he met his second wife for the first time.

"Well, I guess you're finally awake I see…" Billy said in a sarcastic tone. The only words that came out of Karen's mouth were;

"Dad…. Is that really you?"

"Yep as real as they come." Billy then took his hand and strokes it on top of Karen's head like he did when she was younger.

Karen leaned into her father's arms and started to cry,

"I knew you would come to rescue dad… I just knew it…" after that Billy took his arms and hugged his only daughter and replied;

"It's alright now Karen, let it all out now. Your mother and I are going to you out of this hell hole…"

Karen looked over and saw her mother, her mother was Rebecca Chambers. She was wearing an outfit that was similar to the one she wore when she was on the S.T.A.R.S. Bravo team. Except for the pants she was wearing were a little longer. This is Billy's second marriage, and Rebecca's first. Karen's real mother died mysteriously right after she found out more then she bargained for when she learned more about Karen that she wasn't prepared for. Rebecca looked at Karen, she said to her,

"That's right Karen we were able to hear your distress call over the radio."

"Really but how where you able…" said Karen.

"Well, we will tell you later. Right now we need to get off this train and get you home." Billy chipped in.

As soon as they picked up Karen, the train started to move.
