Klshhhhhhh, Erol looked through the glass on the door, what was that?
The lights started to flicker then they went out just great, it wasn't completely dark in fact it was still fairly bright outside, excluding the fog that still hadn't lifted.
Looking through the glass on the door he could see someone stumbling backwards bleeding, what the hell did that? The man he could see was a krimson guard and-Sphhhhlt!
'holy shit' Erol thought as he watched as the guard was stabbed through the chest, slicing through the man's chest plate like a knife through butter. Erol didn't stick around to find out what would have happened next, he was through the door on the other side of the room in a flash…. An injured flash.
Luckily the door lead to another hallway, crash, Erol got a move on as he heard clattering behind him, he reached the end of the hallway and bolted through the metallic door and locked it, bam, bam, bam, bam! Erol almost fell backwards but kept his ground, the banging stopped and he could hear a scraping sound becoming more distant.
Crap, he nearly jumped out of his skin when the banging started, Erol turned to see what room he was in, ah he was in this room, he remembered it well this was the room that they'd tattooed him and every other krimson guard, no branded would be the right word to use.
He remembered entering the room for what they said was a check up but instead without warning the doctor injected him with some shit that made him feel groggy before everything went black, then he remembered waking up in the hospital with bandages covering his eyes, forehead and the tips of his ears.
He was told that they'd tattooed his face and ears and that he wasn't allowed to open his eyes, he'd bleed during the tattooing, it was scary as hell which pissed the redhead off like a lot of things did but he had a right to be angry they didn't ask or even give warning they just did it.
He also remembered that Ashlyn had gotten a warning from her father that she was to be tattooed as well, god that pissed him off, he remembered having a discussion with Torn about it.
Ugh bad times, Erol shook it from his thoughts and walked over to the window, he could see the barracks from here, if he could just make it over there so he wouldn't have to wander around in his boxers…..
Although he didn't want to go back out into the hallway that was understandable right? Hmm the next best thing would be to climb out the window, it wouldn't be too hard even with burns, he told himself which was a lie but he began his descent out of the window anyway.
Reaching the bottom he took a moment to catch his breath, going out the window wasn't exactly a great idea his burns were hurting now.
He began across the grounds towards the barracks, half way there he stopped, what was that noise? It sounded like a siren, everything began to peel floating up for split seconds before disappearing, what the fuck! Ok he was positive Mez had something to do with this he must have drugged him while wasn't looking! But why did it feel so real?
Mez had lead the way and Jak simply followed he really seemed to know his way around here.
"you really seem to know your way around here don't you? Whats up with that?"
"oh? I've been here a couple of times before"
"whys that?"
"well the war between us and the metalheads put a strain on medical staff here…ah heres the room"
The door said green eco storage, the room was a small storage room filled with boxes and crates, Erol had better appreciate the help even though he probably wouldn't admit it.
Mez grabbed one of the boxes, they weren't very big but the eco is pretty effective when used right.
Jak turned to leave this time Mez followed, they headed back to reception desk, both were quiet heading up the stairs, Jak sighed as he went through the door that lead to the second floor.
The only light along the hallway now was the continuously flickering lights, further down the hall they turned a corner.
"oh my god" was what Mez could muster looking at the bloody mess on the floor, the smell was awful as well, it looked like something had punctured the chest armour and went straight through the man probably an instant kill.
Jak was in shock the only other time he'd seen a bloody mess like this was in the sewer earlier that day and when he'd been imprisoned.
That's when he noticed bloody footprints heading into the room they'd left Erol in…. stepping around the blood he entered the room Mez following curiously, Erol was certainly long gone from the scene whatever it was that got his butt moving Jak hoped he'd never have to see.
Jak saw that the bloody footprints kept going? Wouldn't the blood on the bottom of whatever had passed through heres foot have run out? It just kept going on out the other door, Jak followed them reaching the end of the hallway that's where the footprints stopped, he looked up from the floor, a metallic door lay busted off its hinges in the middle of the room that it was probably meant to seal off from people, this was intriguing.
Jak walked over to the window, it was open? None of the others were so why was this one?
He needed to find Erol and ask him about what he'd found on the slip of paper he'd taken from the nurses lounge, he would have before but they'd needed the green eco.
"hey Mez is that the barracks over there?"
"yes, why?"
"because that's where Erol must of went"
"why would you assume that?"
"because he's running around in his boxers" ok so that thought was pretty funny, he'd savoured the look on Erols face when Mez told him to take his pants off, Erol wasn't happy and that's what made Jaks day.
"ah of course" Mez replied.
Jak grabbed his head, what was that? He just suddenly felt a burst of pain in it, Mez must have felt it too he had the same look on his face. He felt dizzy like he was going to- wham Mez was on the ground out cold, Jak felt woozy stumbling over onto the floor just as his world went black he heard something wait it sounded like that siren again…..
Note: I just love leaving it at a cliff hanger XD
