Chapter 3:
"Mr. Ryan's gonna notice me, and I'm gonna be a star! It's not too late, not too late!" said the crying Splicer that was to close for Sally's comfort. She reached down and pick up Sarah from off the floor. She gave the doll a quick squeeze She creaked forward and peaked out of the bathysphere. She could not see the bawling Splicer, but she could see the vent across the room. She decided to make a break for it. She spirited across floor and immediately heard the cry alertness from the hidden Splicer.
"YOU THERE, SHARE YOUR ADAM!" screamed the Splicer racing after Sally. Sally was inches way from the exit vent when she tripped over a loose tile and land face down. Sally quickly turn over onto her back turn to face the Splicer. Sally looked up frozen with fear at the Splicer and all she could think was. 'Andrew Ryan was never going to notice her with face like that.' Sally couldn't tell what age the woman was her sagging face said 50 but her body said 20. Sally eyes kept being drawn to her ugly face. It look someone had draped dough over part of her face, but it wasn't dough it was skin. She had wrap cloth around one half of her face which kind help with the sagging. If you tilted your head slightly to the right. She had big puffy mishap lips and tiny beaded eyes. The women was already on top of her when she trip. She couldn't possible get to her feet and run. The splicer would catcher her before she even made to her feet. The terrifying thing is the Splicer knew it. Female Splicer crept forward with lopsided smirk across her face.
"That it! Be good girl and help Barbara become a star." said the Splicer name Barbara. Sally brain was sent into hydrive. She had her Doll and a Wrench. Even if the wrench could be use as a weapon she didn't have the blunt strength to use it. Her finger reached out blindly until they closed around a shard of glass. The woman race forward raising an club over her head to strike Sally over the head. Sally raised the glass in front of herself and thrust forward as the club hit her on the head.

When Sally came too the first thing she was aware of was her splitting headache. The second was a heavy weight that seem to cover her, but the third was the most frightening thing. The feeling of something warm and sticky covering her body. She realized with a painful jolt that Barbara the Splicer dead body was now covering her. She quickly pushed her dead body off of her and separated herself from it. Barbara head rolled to the side look straight at Sally. Her eyes where cloud and blank and her mouth open in silent scream. It whole minute for Sally to realized that her hand hurt and by time she look it was half way done healing. She still could make out the cuts from the glass that had been in her hand. She paused confused where was it now. She looked up to see it lodged in Barbara chest. Sally felt a sharp pain in the back of her head and blink. The world seemed to get duller. This scared her she quickly picked up Sarah and her wrench before walk/run back to the vent. She made sure that she broke the vent hatch before climbing.

Sally made her way through the vent her heart still pounding from the counter with Barbara. Her mind kept wandering back to those blank glossy eyes. A sudden banging from a near by of the exits of the vent nearly gave her a heart attack. She slowly crawl forward and peaked out of the opening. She was half expending a Big Daddy not nothing. She stared blankly out of the vent surprised.
"It must be a trap!" she thought out loud to herself she was about to move on when.
"I told you she think that?" said voice that was all to filmier. Sally started to scramble out of the vent.
"No you didn't!" said Rosalind Lutece frowning at her counterpart.
"Right, but I going to had told you!" said Robert Lutece.
"That not right!" replied Rosalind Lutece. Sally grinning racing forward and wrapped her arms around Robert's legs. Robert seem stunned at the greeting he shot look over at his sister who motion for him to pick her up. He lead down and pick Sally. Sally smiled at him and wrap her arms around his neck.
"You're alive!" said Sally smiling flashing her teeth.
"What gave you the idea that we were dead!" asked Robert.
"Must be a Rapture greeting." said Rosalind in a matter fact tone. "Anyway the reason we're here is to solve you problem."
"We know where you can get a CO2 scrubber!" continued Robert.
"You need to head to Silver Fin restaurant!" finish Rosalind. Sally paused think about this. Something had been bothering her since she had meet them and she just had to ask.
"Not to be rude or anything, but if you know where all this stuff is... Why not save Elizabeth yourself?"
"That good question!"
"The we have look into doing it are self."
"That path ends in disaster."
"So you must do it, but don't worry."
"We be right by your side." finish Rosalind. Sally looked at them and smile. They were weird, but in weird way.
"So Silver Fin! Alright I think I know where that is!" said Sally motioning to be put down. Robert put her down and she turn back to the vent.
"Wait!" called out Rosalind. Sally turn back to face them and blinked in surprise. Rosalind now had a leather bag in her outstretched hand. Sally took the bag and looked inside. There was a crossbow with small needle darts.
"Thanks" placing her hands together and slightly bowing in little sister fashion. Then she turn around and climbed into the vent.
