Chapter 7: Once Upon A Dead Man
Siesel and the rebel guard walked normally down the hallway, trying their hardest to blend in with the many guards patrolling the hallways in search of Megan. Stupid asshole, do they really think she's still in the building. That whore is probably in the back seat of some car in a back ally moaning and groaning as she's penetrated by a street thug. He thought to himself, hating her for getting him here and leaving him. The continued walking and turned into a narrow vacant hallway, with no other guards in it. They walked down this hall for a while and then a dark figure stepped out from the shadows on the wall and Siesel and the rebel guard came face to face with Police Chief Ronald Ralph… and the barrel of a gun.
"Hello gentlemen, so nice to see you again," Ralph said, smiling broadly, the blood from his still fresh cut on his chest glimmering in the dim light of the narrow hallway. Siesel and his savior gasped at the same time.
"Ralph!? How can this be, you're dead, I killed you," exclaimed the rebel guard, obviously shocked.
Ralph laughed. "Well Kevin, do I look dead?" he asked, mocking the guard. This was too far and the guard called Kevin began to unsheathe his sword. "Unhand it Kevin or you brains will be the next thing staining the floor," Ralph snapped, aiming the gun at Kevin's head. Kevin immediately let go of the handle.
Siesel stood still in silence, listening to Ralph's voice but not hearing his words. He crossed his fingers behind his back and his thumb bumped a hard object. He examined it with one hand and was surprised to find that it was a sheathed knife attached to the back of the waist of his guard's uniform. A thought snapped to him almost immediately and he quietly unsheathed the knife. He ran through the plan again and again in his head looking for faults, but there were none. The next few moments passed very quickly, without aiming, Siesel raised his arm and flung the knife. The knife, blade first, flew into Ralph's throat, immediately Ralph dropped the pistol and his hand flew to his neck as his wind pipe was punctured. Siesel was just about to move to make the final attack, but Kevin beat him to it, in a flash of silver and steal he wiped his sword from its sheath and with a vicious swing sent Ralph's head flying at full speed down the hallway.
"Are you still alive now, you cocksucking piece of shit?!" yelled Kevin down the hall, wiping his sword clean on his pant leg and sheathing it.
"How was he still alive anyways? I mean that sword cut right through his heart and everything," comment Siesel.
"You got me, I don't have the slightest clue," answered Kevin. 'but I think we best get out of here before we see if he can grow another head, but just to be certain," said Kevin unsheathing his sword again and he began chopping the body into pieces. But Kevin stopped in midslash as he heard a small mechanical buzzing sound he hadn't heard before, in fear he looked up at the ceiling and found himself staring directly into… a security camera.
"ATTENTION, ATTENTION. ALL PERSONAL REPORT TO SUB CORRIDOR B-C. SUSPECTS SIESEL BERNARD, ESCAPED PATIENT, AND ASYLUM GUARD KEVIN RAWLINGS SEEN MURDERING POLICE CHIEF. ALL PERSONAL PROCEED WITH CAUTION SUSPECTS ARE ARMED!" rang the loudspeaker once again.
"Let's get the fuck out of here!" Kevin barked as they both started to run. However Siesel's old age impaired his running ability and he was slower then the young guard. "Try to keep up," Siesel heard Kevin scream over his shoulder. Just then their path was cut off by two guards, one with a sword, and the other with a submachine gun. Slashing furiously in horizontal motions Kevin cut down both guards and they kept running. They turned right at the intersection and kep running down Corridor C.
"Do you know where you're going!?" Siesel yelled up to the guard, who was about 30 feet ahead of him.
"I hope so, just keep up," Kevin said looking back. They kept running and turned right at another intersection only to be staring down a dozen or so gun barrels; they looked behind them to the other corridor and saw more guards with automatic weaponry. They were completely surrounded.
