''I have to go to Jervis first'' I went trough the door with all of the ''special cases'' cells, leaving a confused Penelope behind
I looked at all the signs above the cells ''Albert Wesker'' ''Roman Sionis'' ''Humpfred Tweed''. Ah, there it was ''Jervis Tetch'' I looked into the cell, it was clouded by some sort of purple mist, I squinted my eyes, trying to look for something that moved, then suddenly, I saw a quick glare coming from behind the mist
''You're late..late,late,late,late'' Who was this guy anyway? I knew my brother was locked up for being crazy, but this was just.. ''Jervis? It's me, Dean'' I tried to reach Jervis, communicate with him ''Late,late,late,late'' Jervis shook his head ''Why must they always be late?''
I tried to talk back, but it was to late, from the end of the corridor, I heard the same woman that grabbed me shout ''Okay bozo's, you're in luck, Mistah J decided I should just bust you at aswell, and ah, why the heck not? Ya just gotta promise me one thing, get outta here the moment you're free okay? Start your little special case somewhere else, just not here, me and Mistah J got plans here''
She was running a security card trough all the locks, MY security card! Crazy ….
I hid behind a curtain so she couldn't see me, damn woman was all over the place, it seemed like she knew this place as she knew the palm of her hand, well, except the control console of course
The woman was still busy with the locks, then I saw it, my hope, my only hope, a glass case containing a few guns was next to me, all I had to do was to smash the glass, and shoot her…
I busted the glass open, took a gun, and threw myself away from my hiding spot
I pointed the gun at her, my voice was shaking ''you. .Stop with what you're doing right now!''
The woman let out a little grin, and walked up to me, somehow, I couldn't bring myself to shoot her, she just slowly walked up to me, threw her leg in the air, to instantly disarm me
''Doc's with guns, really? Ya would think they had better security right now!'' I heard the woman say, she was sitting on my back, with my stomach pointing to the floor, she pulled out a knife ''Here comes the pu-'' She stopped talking, and I slowly looked up to her, she just stood there, still, ready to stab me any moment now.
I looked to my left, and saw Jervis in clear daylight, I felt the woman backing off, and looked back at Jervis, he was hypnotizing her with his hat, he saved me..
''Yes, a few adjustments here and there and you'll be a nice little Alice..'' I heard Jervis speak ,I just decided to let it go, it was weird though..I still remember that morning…
35 years earlier..
''Mommy, mommy, I want the book!'' I ran with my mother to the general store, Jervis following, we knew she was finally going to buy us a copy of Alice in Wonderland, finally!
When we got home, we knew the book completely, in and out, we read it on our way home. That night, I decided to read Jervis the Lewis Carroll tale, we played this little game where each of us were a character in the book, and we had to say our lines, I always ended up being Alice for some reason, Jervis was always the Mad Hatter ''When I grow up, I wanna be just like him!'' Jervis blurted out ''Inviting people for tea, making them happy, telling them they're late!'' We laughed, for quite a while
-Present-
Was this really what he meant by that? Being Mad hatter? I looked over at another door, I saw Penelope taking a sneak peak, I walked up to her and we left the hallway together
It was quiet for a very long time..Was I even walking with Penelope? She rambled quite a lot most of the time, we reached the only exit this building had, I could finally get out of here! Good thing I always had a spare card in my coat, I opened up the exit, only to hear a monstrous, distorted voice behind me ''Welcome to the Mad house'' And then, everything faded to black
