Ch3: Communication


Catherine wakes up feeling all the needles in her back. She still feels high from the heroin and the burns from the others. Her skin is so numb it hurts. She grabs the ladder and pulls herself up and out of the pool.

Catherine can barely stand as se slams into the door. She unlocks the door and enters a small room, that only has stairs she sees a big metal door. She hits the button to open it walks inside the door slams behind her. The TV inside turns on.

"Very good Ms. Willows," the man says from the television. She looks at the television as if searching for the answers on his old ridden face. "Your next test you're going to need help from an old friend... A crime stopper."

"What have you done with Nick?"

"He's passed his first test as have you."

"When will he get here?"

"It depends if he can be Sugar Ramos or Davey Moore," he chuckles as the TV turns off.

Catherine looks terrified. Sugar Ramos and Davey Moore were boxers in the sixties. Sugar Ramos killed Davey Moore in the championship fight.


Lou wakes up as does Frankie. Lou feels something on his neck but when he reaches for it but his hands are tied to the arms of the chair.

"What the..." he says feeling a tremendous shock. The TVs that surround them turn on.

"Some individuals must go through a difficult ordeal to appreciate their principles. While we should never give up our principles, we must also realize that we cannot maintain our principles unless we survive. Sometimes to survive you have to fight and to survive means you win. It's time to test your principles."

"What the hell..." he says but is riddled weak by another shock.

"I wouldn't say anything if I was you. You both have shock collars on that will detect the quietest noises. Sometimes the best things are left unsaid." the TVs turn off.

Frankie coughed and was zapped. Lou jiggled his left wrist until it was free. He freed his other ten his feet, and untied Frankie.

Frankie taps him on the shoulder and points to a pickle jar with a yellow liquid inside with two keys. Lou reaches inside and burns his fingers he goes to scream but Frankie covers his mouth, shaking her head vigorously. She kicks the jar off the table.

It shatters against the ground. Frankie nervously tiptoes and grabs the keys.

She takes the keys and frees herself, then Lou.

"Are you alright? Let me see your hand," she asks his face contorted with pain. His fingers are red and bubbly. She rips a piece of her tank top and wraps Lou's hand.

"Let's get out of here before this sick freak has something else planned," Lou growls.

"Congrats on passing your first test," the man says clapping. "Put you will find better strength in numbers for your next test."

A light turns on illuminating the dark hallway. They walk cautiously afraid to set any booby traps off. They become more skittish with each set.

Nick finds his way to the roof. It's dark and gloomy at it rains hard. The rain pelts his tender skin. He looks around and sees no TV. The wall has the message sprayed on it. 'Round 2'.
